Is It My Fault?: Hope and Healing for Those Suffering Domestic Violence.
by Justin S. Holcomb Lindsey A. HolcombIs it My Fault? proclaims the gospel of healing and hope to victims who know too well the depths of destruction and the overwhelming reality of domestic violence. At least one in every three women have been beaten, coerced into sex, or abused in their lifetime. The effects of domestic violence are physical, social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual, and can have long-lasting distressing consequences. It is common for victims of domestic violence to suffer from ongoing depression and recurring nightmares, self-harm, such as cutting, panic attacks, substance abuse, and more. This book exists to address the abysmal issues of domestic violence using the powerful and transforming biblical message of grace and redemption. Is It My Fault? convincingly shows that the Lord is the only one who can heal the despairing victim. It deals with this devastating problem and sin honestly and directly without hiding its prevalence today.

Is My Child Overtired?
by Will WilkoffWake up! Your kids are tired. More and more often, bedtime is a battle that parents just don't have the energy to fight. With the demands of juggling work, running a household, and raising kids, it is easy for parents to be lax about their children's sleep habits. They may not realize that fatigue is the number-one cause of health and behavioral problems, and it is frequently overlooked. If you find that your kids are often cranky, hyperactive, or prone to headaches and growing pains, these are red flags that they may be overtired. Describing the unique sleep requirements for every stage of a child's development from infancy through adolescence, Is My Child Overtired? is a proactive child-rearing plan that encourages parents to establish and stick to a sleep routine for the whole family. Pediatrician Will Wilkoff, M.D., explains how to recognize the signs of fatigue and gives you specific guidelines to determine how much sleep a child really needs (you'll be surprised -- they need a lot more than you think). Combining practical wisdom with a voice you can trust, Is My Child Overtired? discusses: Getting off on the right foot with your new baby Helping your child to sleep through the night Crafting a relaxing and reliable bedtime ritual Adding daytime siestas when nighttime sleep isn't enough Finding ways to maintain bedtimes on weekdays, on weekends, and even during school vacations and family trips Simply put, when your kids sleep more, they'll feel better. And so will you.
Is My Sister Dying?
by Alida E. YoungIt just couldn't be true! The doctors had to be wrong. They said my older sister Allyson had kidney failure, that she'd have to spend the rest of her life hooked up to a machine that cleansed her body. Her only hope for a normal life is for someone with the same blood and tissue types to donate a kidney. Someone like me. I really want to help my sister get well. But when I think about all the risks, and the chance that Allyson's body might even reject my kidney, I wonder if I could really go through with it. Can I do it? Can I give Allyson the gift of life?

Is This Your Child?: Discovering and Treating Unrecognized Allergies in Children and Adults
by Doris RappIS THIS YOUR CHILD?These are the major symptoms of potentially unrecognized allergies. Does your child suffer from any of the following?• Allergic Nose Rub • Eye Circles • Red Ears • Red Cheeks • Eye Wrinkles • Aggression • Lack of Alertness • Mottled Tongue • In this breakthrough book, Dr. Doris Rapp offers a simple yet effective approach to handling "problem" children. Is This Your Child? shows parents how to identify the common foods, chemicals, or common allergic substances that could be the culprits that cause some children or adults to feel unwell or act inappropriately. If your child is always sick, hyperactive, a slow learner, or cranky, the first question you should ask is not "What drug should be prescribed?" or "What have I done wrong as a parent?" Instead, find out the cause. Dr. Rapp gives sensible suggestions about how these reactions to foods and environmental factors can be recognized, prevented, and treated. With this information, many affected children should feel, act, behave, and learn better. If you can detect unsuspected environmental illness in your child--or yourself--you can change your lives so you're more content, happy, and free of illness.
