Each year, thousands of church leaders and church-going families suddenly find themselves with a pregnant teen daughter. But you never thought it would happen in your own Christian family. 
Wondering what steps to take first? Where to find emotional support? Nervous about the response of family, friends, or the church? Overwhelmed by the options related to housing, finishing school, medical care, parenting, and adoption? There is help and hope even in the midst of your shock and pain! 
If you’ve learned of your daughter’s pregnancy, be assured that you are not alone in your pain. Others have been where you are. Designed as a step-by-step guide and workbook to help parents of a pregnant teen or college student, How To Survive Your Teen’s Pregnancy will help you through the shock, disappointment, and anger, and show you how to redeem beauty from the ashes of this crisis. 
Written in a devotional workbook format, each chapter of this 192-page book lovingly addresses an issue to discuss, a decision to examine, or an action to take. Read a related portion of Scripture, identify with a real-life story from those who have survived their teen’s pregnancy, and work through journaling exercises and practical action steps. Appendices list dozens of resource books and agencies. You’ll want to keep a spare copy on hand to give to your friend when they call to share the grief that their teen daughter is pregnant.

Struggling to find Contentment? 
These devotionals were written just for you! 
Whether you need daily inspiration, a therapeutic guide for serious emotional recovery, or a spiritual lift, Daily Contentment With God will provide insights from God for living. 
Each of the 366 devotionals is centered on human needs, applying Scripture to that need. The common threads in these devotional are that: 
The "spirit mind" is the communication center capable of communicating with God through the Holy Spirit. 
Answers for human emotional needs can be found in God rather than in the world. 
All humans have feelings that can be addressed by Biblical instruction. 
Contentment is not the same as happiness, and contentment can be found in a proper relationship with God. 
Discover how God can empower you to deal with emotions such as: anger, anxiety, bondage, confusion, depression, despair, fear, grief, helplessness, hurt, insecurity, misery, negative thinking, pain, sadness, shame, turmoil, weakness, and worry. 
Learn how God's way of life will provide: belief, compassion, confidence, faith, forgiveness, freedom, healing, hope, joy, love, openness, peace, perseverance, protection, restoration, security, trust, and truth. 
The primary desire of the author is that each reader will improve their relationship with God. 
Definitions: The phrases, "earth mind" and "spirit mind" are used in the book. You may better understand by knowing the author’s definition of these two phrases: 
"Earth mind" -- The human earth mind is the part of our thinking that is empowered or influenced by the human aspect of life. The human aspect is that which will no longer exist or need to be utilized after our physical death. 
"Spirit mind" -- The spirit mind is the way humans can communicate with God through the Holy Spirit and is also able to communicate with one’s earth mind. Our spirit is that which God breathed into us at the point of creation of each individual. It also refers to that same spirit in us that receives new life when we repent, confess sin, and receive the rebirth provided by the sacrifice of Christ. 
This book is not an effort to thoroughly explain all aspects contained in any one verse. It is not a complete commentary on the verses used but it does give considerable insight into specific verses. There are times when the Scripture verse is used as a springboard to discuss the emotional experiences of humanity. 
There may be many times when you will feel the devotional was written just for you. No, the author has not been talking to your spouse or friend.

Pregnancy outside marriage is a common challenge in America today. In fact, the CDC notes that births to single mothers reached a record high in 2005. Many parents face the crisis of having their grandchildren born to a single mom, so you are not alone. However, it is probably little consolation to be told that 342,976 teens (aged 15-19) gave birth in 2005, or that more than one in three of all children born in America are born out of wedlock (36.8% in 2005). 69.5% of the children in the African American community are born to single mothers, as are 63.3% of children in the American Indian or Alaska Native population, and 47.9% of children with Hispanic mothers. The Christian community is not immune to the problem of pregnancy outside marriage. Each year, thousands of church leaders and church-going families suddenly find themselves with a pregnant daughter (whether a teen or older young woman) who is not married. But you never thought it would happen in your own Christian family. Wondering what steps to take first? Where to find emotional support? Nervous about the response of family, friends, or the church? Overwhelmed by the options related to housing, finishing school, medical care, parenting, and adoption? There is help and hope even in the midst of your shock and pain. Be assured that you are not alone in your pain. Others have been where you are. Designed as a step-by-step guide and workbook to help parents of a pregnant teen or college student, How To Survive Your Teen's Pregnancy will help you through the shock, disappointment, and anger, and show you how to redeem beauty from the ashes of this crisis. When we wrote the manuscript for the first edition in 2002, there were very few reports and studies that had yet been published based on the 2000 Census data. We felt bad referencing so many sources that were published in the late 80s and throughout the 1990s because they were very dated by the time the first edition went to the printer. We are very proud to have updated all the statistics throughout the second edition! In every case (but one) we were able to find a source reference from this millenium, and this make the second edition very fresh and timely. We've also added new material throughout the book, especially a chapter about the importance of a father. We expanded the information about the grief cycle, and added some new illustrations. We love hearing from you, dear reader, and we thank you in advance for the comments and personal stories that you'll send us regarding this new edition. Written in a devotional workbook format, each chapter of this 192-page book lovingly addresses an issue to discuss, a decision to examine, or an action to take. Read a related portion of Scripture, identify with a real-life story from those who have survived their teen's pregnancy, and work through journaling exercises and practical action steps. Appendices list resource books and agencies. You'll want to keep a spare copy on hand to give to your friend when they call to share the grief that their single daughter is pregnant.

In "The Waters Run Deep" the author (J. Wesley Gunther) reaches back to his roots to reveal the enormous price his ancestors paid to live out their faith in freedom. The price they paid took a huge physical, emotional and economic toll as they fled from various countries of Europe, including Prussia and Russia, and finally to a harsh life on the raw prairies of the American mid-west in order to find this religious freedom. The saga reaches a climax with short stories of the author's family when they moved to California and struggled to survive the Great Depression and the World War II era, living and working together to make the vibrant faith of their forefathers their own.
