Everything changed that very moment. I was living the worst nightmare I could have ever imagined. Paralyzed with fear, I realized this was no accident. I knew our country was under attack. Minutes seemed like hours as we stood in front of the television. Not even thirty minutes after the South tower collapsed, I watched in disbelief as the North tower crashed to the ground, disappearing into a pile of dust. In an instant it was gone. But I knew that the God I serve was bigger than what I could see. Bigger than my circumstances. A God of miracles. I knew He could bring my husband home. But would He? I would soon realize that sometimes our stories don't end the way we think they should. Sometimes God has a different plan for our lives. SHELLY GENOVESE CALHOUN is a wife, a mother of two, and a former fashion model, and she has a story to tell. It is a story of God's perfect love, hope, and sovereign hands, which guided her through the worst tragedy on American soil.

If you have ever felt “stuck,” or wondered why you “never seem to get anywhere,” this book is for you! Or if you have tried self-help books, yoga videos, hobbies, self-improvement courses and you are still left with an uncomfortable feeling that your life is not all it should be, or an anxious feeling about the future you can’t exactly name, there is a Christian explanation and cure for these things. If you feel the Bible is vague, hard to understand and condemning, there is a framework in which the whole Bible can be made clear. And there is a way to live a better life here and now, not just in the “hereafter!” In Twice Blessed, Joseph pours his heart out to the reader so that you may be relieved of these burdens. Although written in simple everyday language, in reading it he hopes that everyone, both seekers, and serious Bible students are challenged and learn new insights and understandings.

Joan Leonard's Twice Blessed offers everything you need to know about having a second child--preparing yourself, your marriage, and your firstborn for a new family of four. Just when you thought you were finally adjusting to being a parent--your stretch marks have faded and you've packed away your nursing bras and maternity clothes--you decide to have a second child. And although by now you may feel like a parenting expert, the second time around brings its own set of questions, quandaries, and chaos, from tighter finances to new routines. Drawing on the expertise of pediatricians, gynecologists, and family therapists, as well as the anecdotes of mothers everywhere (tips from the trenches), this book includes both the psychological and physiological aspects of a second birth. It covers how to prepare yourself for a different pregnancy and birth, your marriage for another dramatic change, and your child for a new brother or sister. With warmth, inspiration, and humor, it looks carefully at the brand new family of four and what to expect as it evolves during the first weeks, first months, and first year.
