Beauty Underneath Antiques


Book Description

Victoria “Hex” D'Agistino is your average teenager experiencing the trials and tribulations of adolescence, except for one thing—her supernatural ability of molecular combustion. Hex only suspected she was special, but never knew for sure, that is, until she began working at Beauty Underneath Antiques. Whether it was fate or purely coincidence, Hex not only lands a job she loves, but meets a ragtag group of kids who will forever alter the course of her life by indoctrinating her into the world of magic and the untapped powers that lie within her. Hex and her motley gang of heroes face surprising adventures around every corner, including going head to head with a tar monster, defending a pal from the grips of a murderous vine, and protecting a half angel, half sorcerer friend from his dead ex-girlfriend, to name a few. Regardless of what the escapade is, Hex and her crew engage in some first rate sorcery, all while having fun in the process. An endearing tale of adventure and the dependability of friends that can be counted on when it really matters-Beauty Underneath Antiques is an entertaining tale that is sure to leave readers wanting an encore!

Braced to Bite


Book Description

Colby Blanchard is the popular cheerleader with the grades, the hunky boyfriend, and the homecoming crown in the bag. Then things go bad-like turning-into-a-vampire bad. And complicating things is the fact that her orthodontist father has removed her canine teeth to give her a perfect smile, so she can't even do the vampire thing properly. Luckily, he's fitting her with some new headgear so she can feed. (So now she's not just a vampire but a dork.) This lighthearted debut will have Buffy fans of all ages laughing and shuddering as Colby battles the Vampire Council, resists her attraction to a fellow vamp, and hunts down the rogue bloodsucker who got her in this mess in the first place-all while trying to snag a date for homecoming.




Love-Powered Parenting


Book Description

Love-Powered Parenting is written out of a love for parenting and a deep desire to encourage parents. Yes, there are experiences in parenting that can cause deep hurt. Yes, there are realities in parenting that certainly will cause you to feel inept. Yet at the core of it all there is a deep gratefulness for the gift that God gives in the opportunity to love a child. This book is a biblical guide to parenting. And by "biblical guide" we mean these pages are intended to take you on a journey through what the truth of God's Word has to say about parenting. The main goal is not to uncover psychological truths about your child--there are many good resources on psychological theory; nor does it include practical tips for everyday circumstances such as how to get your kids to eat their green beans. Here, we will explore the simple and profound principles of God's Word to distinguish psychological truth from error, educational reality from untested theory, and we'll be looking at these tips within the broader context of God's principles for parenting.
