Heart-to-Heart Wisdom From Families Who Have Struggled With and Survived Times of Separation 
Families with a dad—or mom—whose business responsibilities require frequent travel know the difficulty of long-distance parenting, the challenge of feeling close, the pain of saying good-bye, and the stress of reentry problems. Others experience an absent spouse due to a military career, ministry travel, workaholism, even addictions and imprisonment. The toll on family life is often severe. 
Begun as a project to find the best and most biblical way to cope with the battles fought by families of "road warriors," Holding Down the Fort brings the encouraging and enlightening real-life stories of families who share their honest struggles and practical solutions to times of separation. Interviews with the wife of Luis Palau, the wife of dc Talk musician Toby McKeehan, and many others provide strategies to help readers apply successful principles in their own lives immediately.

What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Say

Mary Ann Froehlich has helped several dying children and their grieving families face death. Theinsights and sensitivities she has gained from her experiences are reflected in this hopeful, helpfulbook. She offers genuine solace to parents and siblings who are facing the death of a dearly lovedchild. Christians are shown how to put away their fears so they might give significant support to theterminally ill and their families. I believe there is a need for such a book.... The presentation is thoughtfully arranged with a clear progression from preparing the helper to help, to facing death, to dealing with the aftermath of death. DAVID W.WIERSBE - Author of Gone but Not Lost This is a book that I would readily recommend to pastors, nurses, physicians, and other healthprofessionals, and which I would quickly give to families with children who are terminally ill.

Parenting & Relationships

Like the apostle Paul, do you have a thorn in your life that just won’t go away—no matter how many times you’ve asked God to remove it? Maybe you’re troubled by an estranged relationship, a chronic illness, a difficult marriage, depression, a struggle with an addiction, a past abuse—or even a combination of some of these. Author Mary Ann Froelich suggests that the miraculous exists, even for those who live with unchanged circumstances—those with “less than success” stories. She offers comfort, encouragement, and tangible survival tools for facing unchanged circumstances and fighting the despair that so often accompanies our pain.
