Gal and Noa's Daddies


Book Description

Noa and Gal have two fathers, Itai and Yoav. They call them by their nicknames, Daddy-Yo and Daddy-I. Noa and Gal were born to gay parents in a process called surrogacy, with the help of two special women that enabled the arrival of the twins into the world. In this unique book, the writer, Shosh Pinkas, shares the story of many same-sex families around the world. Gal and Noa's Daddies describes in a simple, clear, and humorous way, without any apologies, a loving and caring same-sex family. This is a brave and important book for children, and it also provides an appropriate answer for the needs of adults, as well. Family members, teachers, and friends will learn how to cope with the questions of curious children who seek to know more about the different types of families they see around them. For age 3 and up. The story was evaluated by a child psychologist to insure that the messages are appropriate for children of this age. *** "Shosh Pinkas's book is a charming book that tells the story of a happy, loving family. Some say that all happy families are alike, but this family is a little different - it has two fathers and two daughters. The book explains how the girls came to this world in a family that has two dads but without the need to justify it. Human warmth is the most important thing. Every child that reads this book will wish to sit on the lap of Daddy-I and Daddy-Yo, to play with the cats, and to be a part of Noa and Gal's home - a hugging and sharing home, where everyone makes salad and does the laundry. Society needs books like this one: free in mind, not stuttering, that relays the joy that each parent feels when choosing to raise children and accepting the privilege of answering their children's questions, while teaching them to think and respect every person, young or old." (Prof. Y. Tamir, President of Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, Former Minister of Education) "The book Gal and Noa's Daddies fills the void that exists on this subject on children's bookshelves. The book gives children a clear and simple explanation without unnecessary details, but in an easy-to-understand language. The story challenges the conventional disciplines of gender and presents alternative options as natural and positive. I'm sure the book would be an appropriate response to the need of adults - relatives, teachers, and friends - to answer questions that children will ask. The illustrations are aesthetic and pleasant. They contribute to the presentation of the family as natural, warm, and loving, and help to shatter the existing stereotypes. I enjoyed reading it!" (Rennana, Library Director, The David Yellin Academic College of Education) "A few decades ago, you could hardly find books on "special" children. Today, there are no special children-all children are special, with their own unique personality. The awareness of diversity and variety are evolving, although not enough, and children are the first to accept it. I believe that they deliver the change and so does your book. The life of your children and their daughters will enrich us all. Slowly, tolerance will arrive. Bless you!" (Dr. Hana Gilaie Guinor, Clinical Psychologist)

I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die


Book Description

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.




The Risk


Book Description

Everyone says I’m a bad girl. They’re only partly right—I don’t let fear rule me, and I certainly don’t care what people think. But I draw the line at sleeping with the enemy. As the daughter of Briar’s head hockey coach, I’d be vilified if I hooked up with a player from a rival team. And that’s who Jake Connelly is. Harvard’s star forward is arrogant, annoying, and too attractive for his own good. But fate is cruel—I require his help to secure a much-coveted internship, and the sexy jerk isn’t making it easy for me. I need Connelly to be my fake boyfriend. For every fake date…he wants a real one. Which means this bad girl is in big trouble. Nothing good can come from sneaking around with Jake Connelly. My father would kill me, my friends will revolt, and my post-college career is on the line. But while it’s getting harder and harder to resist Jake’s oozing sex appeal and cocky grin, I refuse to fall for him. That’s the one risk I’m not willing to take.
