Parenting begins with us, the parents. It always involves earning our children's trust. Whether we are overwhelmed at being parents, planning to be parents, reacting to our parents, or learning to stand with our kids as they now parent, we need to know there is always a way home, convinced God is in the middle of every stage of our family. Find yourself in this story as you ride along with the Clawsons on vacation. Go inside the episode as each part of the story unfolds, and find the freedom and truth that God offers us as we build trust with our kids, and discover insight and hope for our own painful patterns through the included discussion guide. This book is filled with joy, insight, wisdom and maybe a fresh way of seeing our families and ourselves. Enjoy the ride.

If we have to act like we've got it all together, then we aren't being real. Yet so often, we as Christians try to earn God's favor by putting on a show, hiding our true selves in the process. 
But with God's grace, we don't need to live like that. In this book, the authors help us realize that the most powerful source of relational defeat is the attempt to hide our unresolved sin issues, keeping us immature and limiting our influence. An astonishing life begins as we start living as God sees us, standing with Him to work on our issues together.

TrueFaced: Trust God and Others With Who You Really Are

Two Roads, Two Rooms draws a clear distinction between two very different underlying motives: my determinations to please God or to trust him. The resulting difference from these two starting points could not be more profound. One result is striving that never feels like it has done enough to please him. The other results in a trust that experiences his full pleasure.
