From Alexandra Stoddard - beloved lifestyle philosopher, mother, and author of Choosing Happiness, a small book of wisdom about the big questions of life, perfect for new graduates, new mothers, and as a treasured gift from woman to woman. Alexandra Stoddard, a mother, grandmother, and author of more than 25 books on personal fulfilment, shares a series of succinctly–stated principles worth living by. Each statement is fleshed out in a few brief, useful paragraphs. By turns wise ("Pain is inevitable; suffering is a choice"), controversial ("Don't feel guilty about your feelings toward your parents, stepparents, or in–laws"), affirming ("You don't have to prove anything to anyone"), and humorous ("When you discover something you love, stock up"), these short pieces cut to the essence of what's important and are oases of clarity amid life's chaos.

In this collection of her finest and best-known short essays, Natalia Ginzburg explores both the mundane details and inescapable catastrophes of personal life with the grace and wit that have assured her rightful place in the pantheon of classic mid-century authors. Whether she writes of the loss of a friend, Cesare Pavese; or what is inexpugnable of World War II; or the Abruzzi, where she and her first husband lived in forced residence under Fascist rule; or the importance of silence in our society; or her vocation as a writer; or even a pair of worn-out shoes, Ginzburg brings to her reflections the wisdom of a survivor and the spare, wry, and poetically resonant style her readers have come to recognize. "A glowing light of modern Italian literature . . . Ginzburg's magic is the utter simplicity of her prose, suddenly illuminated by one word that makes a lightning streak of a plain phrase. . . . As direct and clean as if it were carved in stone, it yet speaks thoughts of the heart.' — The New York Times Book Review

Kids are constantly changing and how we parent them must change, too. But how do we stay close as a family as our lives move apart? Enter the co-founders of Grown and Flown, Lisa Heffernan and Mary Dell Harrington. In the midst of guiding their own kids through this transition, they launched what has become the largest website and online community for parents of fifteen to twenty-five year olds.

Consider this your parenting lifeline: an easy-to-use manual that offers support and perspective. Grown and Flown is required reading for anyone looking to raise an adult with whom you have an enduring, profound connection.

Grace Comes in Person Jesus came to earth in person, to minister grace in forgiveness, acceptance, and love. If we believe in Jesus, then we will also minister his grace to one another. When we know at what cost he purchased our redemption, we will freely forgive. When we experience his acceptance, we will accept others in his name. When we know the transforming power of his love, the world will know we are his disciples by our love for one another. Jesus loves us and laid his life down for us. He accepted us just as we are and forgave all our sins. So we can minister his grace in person, accepting, forgiving, and loving in his name. Then the grace of God brought to us in person by Jesus will not be in vain. Cynthia Shigo is a missionary and the daughter of missionaries, who lives in Budapest, Hungary, with her husband, Joel. Cynthia received her MA in Educational Administration from Temple University. She is an educational consultant with SHARE Education Services, a consulting organization which helps missionaries and expatriates educate their children in difficult places. It is her desire to bring God's grace in person to the world. Joel Shigo accepted God's grace in person as a college freshman in Barcelona, Spain. He received his MA in Biblical Studies from Westminster Seminary and has served as a pastor and Bible college teacher in Colorado and Hungary. Joel is the Director of the Christian Institute of Hungary. His father's family is Hungarian, and it is Joel's calling to minister God's forgiveness, acceptance, and love in person in Hungary, that the grace of God to him will not be in vain.
