Twenty-first-century how-to advice for parents who want to protect children from the woes of technology, from bestselling author and host of New Life Live , the nation's top Christian call-in counseling show. Most of the parenting books currently in circulation were written decades ago. Therefore, they do not address--nor could they address--all the issues parents face today in the era of technology and excess. Parents do not need another article that contradicts the last one they read; rather, they need insights, techniques, and strategies to tackle the pressing issues of twenty-first-century parenting. That's what the Understanding and Loving Your Child series of books does. Understanding and Loving Your Child in a Screen-Saturated World will help parents understand the impact screens have on our children, and offers tips for how to use screens safely and strategically in their home.

We live in a sex-saturated world. How can you live a life of integrity in the midst of a sexual onslaught? From the author of the Every Man series (more than 4 million copies sold), Every Believer's Thought Life helps all Christians--men and women alike--understand how to live a life of sexual integrity by taking every thought captive. Jesus made it clear that while sexual integrity is expressed through the body, it's rooted in the mind. But aligning our thoughts with God's thoughts isn't always easy. Illicit sexual thoughts don't need to have free rein in your mind. The Bible provides an arsenal of weapons to win the battle. Jesus invites you to live with full sexual integrity--in your behavior, heart, and mind. Instead of succumbing to the despair and darkness of sin, you can take every thought captive and replace it with thoughts that align with God's truth, allowing Him to bring about His best for your life. This book will teach you: How to "reframe your brain" for optimum sexual integrity. Why logic and willpower are not enough to win this battle. Fortunately, there's a better strategy. Why one of the big missing weapons in the war for your mind is not something you do but the realization of who you are. How to live out the biblical mandate to take every thought captive and set your mind on things above. How to be fully present in every moment God has for you, so you can live with confidence, calm, self-respect, and victory.
