When life gives you lemons, you need hope. And a way to handle them. Because how you approach, process, and transform life's difficulties makes all the difference, especially for parents facing the sometimes sour experiences of raising special needs children with developmental, behavioral, and/or health needs. Structured around the steps of a recipe for making lemonade, emotional stories from special needs parents, including the author, are woven together with practical strategies from a Christian world view. The result is a transformational, uplifting, virtual support group that will encourage you to face whatever lemons you face in the kitchen of life. MAKING LEMONADE is a must read for not only parents but for professionals who work with children with special needs. (Specific issues covered include autism, mosaic Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, tuberous sclerosis, Cornelia de Lange syndrome, cancers, and ADHD.)

An eleven-week devotional journey exploring what faith and football have in common. As the wife of a high school football coach, author Candee Fick has climbed metal bleachers in all kinds of weather to see firsthand the battle for field position and points.

This updated and reformatted version of an earlier book combines aspects of the game of football, personal anecdotes, practical examples, and Scripture to illustrate biblical truths about life.
