The media today isn't exactly filled with stories about happy, healthy boys and well-adjusted, responsible young men. Luckily, real life is filled with such stories-and so is this book. In The Miracle of Sons, parents share true accounts of the challenges and changes-and the rarely-acknowledged heroism-of our nation's sons. Through heartwarming, eye-opening stories, readers will gain new insight into the world of boys and their delightful life passages-and be reminded that despite the myths and media images, boys do bring a great deal of joy to their families and communities...and grow up to make the world a better place.

More than 500,000 female millionaires already live in the United States. Many accumulated their wealth with ideas and hard work, not by marrying a millionaire. "The Millionairess Across the Street" inspires women to think more powerfully about money and success and to be motivated by confidence, pride, and a belief in their own ability to manage it. Flores and Sander don't use fear of ending up alone or dependent as a motivator. Women will learn to enjoy the process of accumulating wealth and achieving success without the guilt and fear they traditionally experience.

Dad's Journal: What I Want You to Know About Me and My Life

Amp up the love, romance, and beauty in your life! Rest assured this is not a book about how to buy your way to a more romantic life. Money stress is anti-romance. Instead, we are here to help you create a more romantic life and make the most of what you already have. The ideas and suggestions collected here are not always about dewy-eyed romance, but also about compromise, and having positive experiences that bond you as a couple. A few examples include: <ul> <li>Your Turn to Choose--do something your partner loves, even if you aren't as enthusiastic about it. Maybe you can attend a musical one night, and visit a brewery the next. Mix it up!</li> <li>Pick-a-Date--using small scraps of paper, each of you should write out twenty ideas on how to spend a day, an evening, or even an hour. Ideas could include "pack a picnic and go to the park," or "go to that restaurant we've been wanting to try," or even "have a movie marathon at home." Fill a jar with the pieces of paper, shake it up, and pull out an idea when it's time for a date!</li> <li>Get a Smaller Bed--lounging on a huge, king-size bed might seem like an ultimate couples' goal, but in any kind of small space you need to work things out and come to an agreement faster than if there was room to spread out and get away from each other.</li> </ul> Though Valentine's Day has been around for centuries, it's become so commercialized it can be easy to feel wiped out after the onslaught of advertisements. So hey, take back your power--celebrate every day instead! This book will offer fresh ideas and inspire you to see the romance in everyday life. &nbsp; &nbsp;

Celebrate the moms in your life (and perhaps yourself as well)! After all they've done for us, moms everywhere deserve to be appreciated on a daily basis, rather than waiting all year to get a card and some flowers. Think back on the many things, big and small, your mother has done for you over the years . . . from baking cookies or sometimes letting you choose the radio station on a car trip, to hemming your dress in time for the prom. Isn't it time you started making those same gestures in the other direction? We think so! It is never too early, or for that matter, too late, to make a parent feel special. Mother's Day has a long and storied history, stretching back to its earliest roots in the post-Civil War era. What began as one woman's attempt to help heal the grief of mothers who'd lost sons on both sides of the fight and then became another woman's attempt to honor her own mother, has morphed over the years into more of a commercial event. Isn't it time we got back to the idea of making moms feel treasured and appreciated? In these pages, you'll find idea after idea that will encompass a wide variety of activities to get you thinking about how to make your mom feel special, even if you don't live close by. Go ahead and remember to buy that card and bring over some flowers on the actual Mother's Day, but in the meantime, here are some ways to make every day count . . . &nbsp;
