About the book: Most parenting approaches end up encouraging children to ask the wrong questions about life: What’s in it for me? Are you going to pay me for that? What’s the minimum I need to do to get by? But God’s Word gives us a better way to parent, one that builds strong internal motivation in children. When parents change the way they parent, kids change the way they live. This practical book explores a theology of internal motivation and then gives parents real-life solutions to … [Read more...]

Replacing Complaints With Thankfulness, Cymplified!
She sat on their leather sofa and placed her head on the arm rest. When she was younger, she used to daydream, a lot!

All of these were scattered on the floor, next to the white and violet dollhouse where they belong. The … [Read more...]
Focus On Love, Cymplified!
She rolled to her right and opened her eyes. She sighed as she stared at the not really cream, not quite yellow wall. Bare concrete was exposed where a large piece of paint used to be.
