8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, and Other Tips from a Beleaguered Father (Not That Any of Them Work)
by W. Bruce CameronIt seems to happen overnight. One minute your daughter is wearing bunny slippers and demanding bedtime stories. The next, she's wearing a midriff-baring tee shirt and demanding the car keys. 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter takes us shriek by shriek through the process of raising teenage girls, including braces (the most expensive metal on earth), the telephone (seemingly wired to her nervous system), and, of course, dating (Rule #2: Keep your hands and eyes off my daughter's body, or I will remove them).
8 Simple Rules for Marrying My Daughter
by W. Bruce CameronFollowing the stunning success of 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter -- which was adapted into a TV show for ABC -- W. Bruce Cameron returns with an even more hilarious look at fatherhood, capturing the predicament of the forgotten man in the tux at his little girl's wedding. As Cameron explains, modern weddings are much like royal coronations, only more expensive. Aside from the writing of checks, there is not much fathers understand about them. Why can't guests successfully eat, drink, and dance unless the whole event is as carefully choreographed as a Broadway production? With his characteristic wit, Cameron captures the aspects of the wedding that are the most ridiculous to paternal eyes, for example: why the wedding needs a theme (this one is "We're all stressed out") why the wedding has to be photographed as if it will be reviewed by the Warren Commission why the bouquet must include a species of flower found only at the tip of the Himalayas why the wedding dress has to strike the right mood (which, judging from everyone's behavior, might best be summed up as "crabby") Throughout it all, however, a father keeps faith that the wedding -- if not the wedding preparation -- will make his daughter a happy woman. Hilarious yet poignant, 8 Simple Rules for Marrying My Daughter is sure to be a comfort to the legions of fathers (and mothers) who will one day have a daughter walking down the aisle.

The 9:09 Project
by Mark H. ParsonsA thoughtful exploration about finding oneself, learning to hope after loss, and recognizing the role that family, friends, and even strangers can play in the healing process if you are open and willing to share your experience with others. <P><P> It has been two years since his mom’s death, and Jamison, his dad, and his younger sister seem to be coping, but they’ve been dealing with their loss separately and in different ways. When Jamison almost forgets the date of his mother's birthday, he worries that his memory of her is slipping away. To help make sense of the passing of time, he picks up his camera—the Nikon his mother gave to him. <P><P> Jamison begins to take photos of ordinary people on the street, at the same time and place each night. As he focuses his lens on the random people who cross his path, Jamison begins to see the world in a deeper way. His endeavor turns into a school project, and then into something more. Along with his new outlook, Jamison forges new and unexpected friendships at school. But more importantly, he’s able to revive the memory of his mother, and to connect with his father and younger sister once again.
9 Rules of Engagement: A Military Brat’s Guide to Life and Success
by Harris FaulknerThe Emmy award-winning news anchor of Outnumbered Overtime with Harris Faulkner and co-host of the talk show Outnumbered shares the lessons she learned growing up in a military family paying homage to the military ideals that shaped her and showing how everyone can benefit from bringing the wisdom of military service into their lives.Born into a military family, Harris Faulkner revered her father, a decorated career officer who served three tours of duty in Vietnam and raised his children with the values and ideals of the U.S. military. Accompanying him from posting to posting, young Harris experienced firsthand how success in life was rooted in the knowledge, integrity, and leadership that came from her military surroundings. Indeed, these formative lessons in leadership and work ethic became the guiding principles for her career as a journalist, lessons she credits with her rise to become one of the top hosts on Fox News.Now, she shares the advice, wisdom, and tools that she absorbed through her military upbringing, examining how these ideals have shaped her professional and personal outlook and how everyone can incorporate them into their own lives. Using her father’s career as the backdrop to her experience, she explores the lessons in courage, duty, patriotism, and responsibility that helped her succeed, demonstrating the truth to the axiom that in military families everyone serves—together. Along the way she also interviews current and former military families, generals and other officers, and tells stories from her father’s career to illuminate how and why the message and mission of the military is so effective at changing lives both on and off the battlefield.Illustrated with sixteen pages of never-before-seen photos of her early life and career, this instructive book, part memoir, part motivational life guide, reminds us of our most important values—the keys to a successful life.

Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think (NLT). 90 Days with the Saviour was designed to keep you focused on that journey of transformation, not on your problem but on the only one who can help you overcome the torment and despair. Jesus says in Matthew 11:28, … “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” this book is intended to bring you into that rest, to give you that new life in Christ, “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” (2 Cor. 5:17). 90 Days with the Saviour is intended to help you shed the old you and put on the new you, “ throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God truly righteous and holy.” (Ephesians 4:22-24). Are you ready for a new life?

¡A comer!: El método Estivill para enseñar a comer a los niños
by Dr. Eduard Estivill Montse DomènechEl método del Dr. Estivill para que la hora de comer de los niños deje de ser una pesadilla para los padres. «Ya lo he probado todo y no hay manera de que coma». Para muchos padres, la hora de comer de sus hijos se convierte en un infierno. Esa boca cerrada -que no se abre ni siquiera cuando sacamos todos los juguetes, encendemos el televisor o disfrazamos los platos con su salsa preferida- es nuestra peor pesadilla... Después del éxito experimentado con su método para resolver el problema del insomnio infantil, el doctor Eduard Estivill se preguntó si no podría aplicarse también al problema de la alimentación infantil. Por ello solicitó la ayuda de una peadagoga, Montse Domènech, y entre ambos desarrollaron un método sencillo, práctico, con unas sólidas bases científicas, para enseñar a comer bien, y de todo, a los niños. Después de haber estado poniéndolo en práctica durante tres años, con un porcentaje de éxitos superior al 98%, se han decidido a sacar a la luz este ameno manual que ayudará a los padres a que sus hijos aprendan a comer. «La resistencia de los niños a comer es habitual. Forma parte de su espíritu de rebeldía ante las cosas que se les imponen. Pero en eso consiste educarlos, ¿no? Deben ir aprendiendo que casi todo tiene un momento y un lugar. Y también unas maneras. Para eso son necesarios un método y un tiempo de aprendizaje.»Dr. Eduard Estivill

The A. D. D. Book: New Understandings, New Approaches to Parenting Your Child
by William Sears Lynda ThompsonAn estimated 20 percent of boys and up to 8 percent of girls have attention deficit disorder -- a condition marked by distractibility, short attention span, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity. Many physicians routinely prescribe Ritalin, an amphetamine-like drug, to modify the behavior of A.D.D. children. But as Dr. William Sears and child psychologist Lynda Thompson explain, drug therapy is not the only way to approach A.D.D. Drawing on the latest research findings and their own experiences with A.D.D. children, Sears and Thompson show that these kids actually possess certain read advantages: tenacity, energy, creativity, spontaneity, and the ability to hyperfocus. They offer a state-of William the-art self-help approach to A.D.D. that will help parents reduce or eliminate the need for Lynda drugs -- including cutting-edge neurofeedback techniques and learning strategies that empower A.D.D. children and teach them how to cope. Full of real-life case histories, this landmark guide is an indispensable resource for every parent with an A.D.D. child -- and the only book available that focuses on the positive side of A.D.D.
