  Like any other teenage boy, Austin loves pizza, movies, dancing, and girls. But unlike most other eighteen-year-olds, he has a rare brittle bone disease, was locked in a mental ward as a child, and is autistic. Yet Austin doesn't let any of that stop him from embracing life. His is a world where suffering a broken back is a minor inconvenience and the quest for the ultimate strawberry shake just might be the best day of his life.

  Written with remarkable candor by Austin's father, Scott, and New York Times bestselling author Susy Flory, The Unbreakable Boy weaves the beautiful and often humorous tale of how Austin teaches his father--and everyone else he encounters--to have faith in God and trust that one day life's messes will all make sense.

  How do you define the good life? For many, success is measured not by health and happiness but by financial wealth. But such a worldview overlooks the important things in life: personal contentment, family time, spirituality, and the health of the planet and those living on it. A preoccupation with money and possessions is not only unhealthy, it can also drain the true joy from life. In recent years, millions have watched their American Dreams go up in smoke. The international financial collapse, inflation, massive layoffs, and burgeoning consumer debt have left people in dire financial straits-including John Robbins, a crusader for planet-friendly food and lifestyle choices, who lost his entire savings in an investment scam. But Robbins soon realized that there was an upside to our collective financial downturn: Curtailed consumerism could lead us to reassess our lives and values. The New Good Life provides a philosophical and prescriptive path from conspicuous consumption to conscious consumption. Where the old view of success was measured by cash, stocks, and various luxuries, the new view will be guided by financial restraint and a new awareness of what truly matters. A passionate manifesto on finding meaning beyond money and status, this book delivers a sound blueprint for living well on less. Discover how to:-create your own definition of success based on your deepest beliefs and life experience-alleviate depression, lower blood pressure, and stay fit with inexpensive alternatives to high-cost medications-develop a diet that promotes better health-and saves you money-plan for, and protect yourself from, future economic catastrophes -cut down on your housing and transportation costs -live frugally without deprivation-follow in the footsteps of real people who have effectively forged new financial identities   The New Good Life provides much-needed hope and comfort in a time of fear and uncertainty. Here is everything you need to develop high-joy, low-cost solutions to life's challenges. Practical and timely, this book equips you with the skills needed not only to survive but to thrive in these challenging times.

  Embrace the beauty and challenges of transracial adoption.Being an adoptive parent is  hard enough. But when your family is multiracial, things get even trickier. Parenting transracially doesn’t come naturally,  nor does it just happen with time. Love is essential—yet by itself, love isn’t enough. Cross-cultural parenting  also takes intentionality, listening, learning, growing, repenting, changing . . . then starting all over and doing it again.  It’s hard work! And yet, when an adoptive family honors the ethnic heritages of their children, the whole family—as  well as the watching world—gets to see the beauty of a gloriously creative God.In It Takes More Than Love,  Brittany Salmon shares her own family’s story of transracial adoption and offers a biblically-based guide for others  following the same path. Brittany recognizes that we live in divided times and there are extra challenges whenever race  is part of the conversation. But with wise insight and hard-won experience, she provides guidance about topics such as:Maintaining  a Gospel perspective throughout the journeyCelebrating your child’s history and heritageConfronting  racismResponding to comments about your familyAvoiding pitfalls in adoptionHelping your kids  feel represented in your home and community 
  No one is promising transracial adoption will be easy—least  of all Brittany! Yet the extra effort is balanced by a beauty that images our eternal destiny. Until the day God makes all  things new, the welcoming an inclusive transracial family can help fulfill Jesus’s words, “on earth as it is  in heaven.”
