The Frazzled Female: Finding Peace in the Midst of Daily Life. By Cindi Wood
Speaker and trainer Wood defines the 21st century Christian woman as a “frazzled female” who is “frayed, challenged, frenetic.... and totally dependent on God to keep all the segments of her life together.” Wood describes this woman as a “wannabe”:she wants a fresh, radiant face, but doesn’t quite cut it; her outfit used to be in style, but now appears haphazard; and the body that was once in decent shape now shows clears signs of wear and tear. Using mediocre comedic punches, Wood offers short, pithy life takes on such topics as intimacy with Christ, positive thinking, time management, interpersonal relations, introspective soul searching and a brief look at depression.
Each week includes 5 short assignments (10-20 minutes).

Grace-Based Parenting. By Dr. Tim Kimmel
Parents in our post-modern world tend to be committed to but anxious about their child-rearing responsibilities. They’ve tried the countless parenting books on the market, but many of these are strident, fear-based books that loving parents instinctively reject, while still searching for direction.
Now Dr. Tim Kimmel, founder of Family Matters Ministries, offers a refreshing new look at parenting. Rejecting rigid rules and checklists that don’t work, Dr. Kimmel recommends a parenting style that mirrors God’s love, reflects His forgiveness, and displaces fear as a motivator for behavior. As we embrace the grace God offers, we begin to give it-creating a solid foundation for growing morally strong and spiritually motivated children.
