Ken Duncan (The Passion: Photography from the Movie "The Passion of the Christ") is recognized internationally for his pioneering, award-winning photography. Still, he describes himself as an average photographer, with a great God merely an interpreter of God's creation. In Where Jesus Walked, Duncan introduces readers to awe-inspiring places in and around Israel where Jesus lived, died and rose again. It also includes contemplative insights from a variety of renowned authors such as Augustine, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and C. S. Lewis. These images and writings will allow readers to experience the presence of God in a remarkable way by revealing what life was like at that time. The Bible will come to life like never before for those who walk Where Jesus Walked.

Over the past twenty-five years, more than a million parents and teachers have benefited from Dr. James Dobsons insightful counsel in the classic Hide or Seek. Now revised and updated, The New Hide or Seek provides a new generation of parents with practical pointers for building self-esteem in their children.
In this book, well-known family psychologist James Dobson exposes the false value system of our society, which measures worth by beauty and intelligence and reserves respect and esteem for only a select few. He provides twelve comprehensive strategies that offer specific instruction on how to:
* protect children from the agony of inferiority
* compensate for the unfair value judgments that damage self-confidence
* take solid steps to build self-esteem in children from infancy onward
Each strategy is followed by an informative question-and-answer section discussing common problems that occur in the lives of children. Readers will learn which values they should impart to give kids the courage to seek their best rather than hide in fear.

In an age when the idyllic notion of everlasting love has been battered against the rocks of infidelity and divorce, ever-popular Christian counselor and writer Smalley (The Language of Love) offers his own tried and true methods for making love last forever. According to Smalley, the foundation of lasting love is falling in love with life itself. In the first section of the book, he explores principles for resolving anger, balancing expectations and reality and avoiding hurt. Using anecdotes from his counseling sessions and stories from his own marriage, Smalley fashions, in the second section of the book, a set of "forever-love" principles designed to help married couples improve their relationships. Some of the principles Smalley includes as essential ingredients for lasting love are better communication, understanding a spouse's personality type and using conflict to foster intimacy. Each chapter closes with a set of "forever-love" principles drawn from the topic of the chapter. In the end, however, Smalley's principles are not helpful because they are founded upon, and promote, conventional stereotypes of men as rational and aggressive and women as intuitive and passive. Unfortunately, only couples who accept these stereotypical gender roles are likely to benefit from his principles.
