It is not a question that marriages today, especially in this country, are under attack. The sacred union between man and woman through the lenses of our nation has seemingly lost its value and respect amid a growing culture that has degraded its significance—this is an epidemic in its own right. Like-Minds: Two Hearts, One Mind, One God—Rediscovering the Value of Marriage is a book that attempts to act as a clarion call; to refocus man’s attention and heart back to biblical principles carried out by both husband and wife. God is the Creator of all things, including marriage. Like any creation, God has in Mind the purpose of the creation before He creates it. Minister Julien Folks passionately shares insight on helping young singles and married couples understand that God has a methodology in revealing His plan and purpose within His marriage covenant. Throughout this book, readers will identify one underlining principle: “How the marriage thinks as one in Christ propels them through every difficulty with a new perspective in God.” In his first book, Like-Minds: Two Hearts, One Mind, One God—Rediscovering the Value of Marriage, the author shares solid scriptural support, personal challenges, and experiences to outline the process and spiritual journey both husband and wife must commit to in ensuring an overall healthy, sustaining, and successful marriage. Join countless others who are rediscovering the purpose of marriage while learning practical and necessary tools to engage Two Hearts, through One Mind, in One God.

"I have been waiting for over 30 years for someone to write a book like this - an instructive and very practical guide - directly applicable to the everyday lives of persons living with mental illnesses and their loved ones - offering them a hand and leading them step by step through many of the lessons Katherine has had to learn mostly on her own - from creative, dogged, and prolonged efforts to find a way to build and maintain a full life in the face of a serious illness" Larry Davidson, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry, School of Medicine, Yale University

From world-renowned autism spokesperson, scientist, and inventor Temple Grandin -- a book of personal stories, inventions, and facts that will blow young inventors' minds and make them soar. Have you ever wondered what makes a kite fly or a boat float? Have you ever thought about why snowflakes are symmetrical, or why golf balls have dimples? Have you ever tried to make a kaleidoscope or build a pair of stilts? In Calling All Minds, Temple Grandin explores the ideas behind all of those questions and more. She delves into the science behind inventions, the steps various people took to create and improve upon ideas as they evolved, and the ways in which young inventors can continue to think about and understand what it means to tinker, to fiddle, and to innovate. And laced throughout it all, Temple gives us glimpses into her own childhood tinkering, building, and inventing. More than a blueprint for how to build things, in Calling All Minds Temple Grandin creates a blueprint for different ways to look at the world. And more than a call to action, she gives a call to imagination, and shows readers that there is truly no single way to approach any given problem--but that an open and inquisitive mind is always key. Praise for Calling All Minds: "An impassioned call to look at the world in unique ways with plenty of practical advice on how to cultivate a curious, inquiring, imaginative mind." —Kirkus Reviews "Both practical and inspirational, this useful book describes an overall approach to viewing the world creatively, as exemplified by the numerous projects and supporting material provided here." —VOYA "Grandin offers a nuanced perspective on the qualities of a successful inventor—notably, a sense of wonder and curiosity, careful observation, and the willingness to learn from mistakes." —Publishers Weekly
