David Instone-Brewer. Divorce and Remarriage in the Church: Biblical Solutions for Pastoral Realities. IVP, 2006. 212 pp.
“Most of society thinks that the Bible has nothing sensible to say about divorce and remarriage, and even many Christians think that they can ignore the Scriptures on this particular subject.

Tim Kimmel. Raising Kids for True Greatness: Redefine Success for You and Your Child. Thomas Nelson, 2006. 192 pp.
Sometimes greatness is measured by possessions or power and parents become preoccupied with raising “resume” and “pedigree” children. Yet true greatness is an internal evidence of attitudes and a heart known for humility, compassion, graciousness, and enthusiasm. Author and speaker Dr. Tim Kimmel identifies the three most critical and life-changing decisions that will make the difference. According to Kimmel, preparing your children to determine what they will do (their mission), who they will do it with (their mate), and who they will do it for (their master) is the greatest gift you could give them. Raising Kids for True Greatness will expose the shallow wisdom of the world, giving parents a road map to guide their children toward rich lives of eternal value and significance.
