Chicken Soup for the Teen's Soul on Love and Friendship
$12.99

Includes stories by HeartTouchers' writers Cheryl Costello-Forshey and Michael T. Powers!

In Love & Friendship teens expose their true thoughts and feelings about relationships. This latest serving from the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul series explores the topics nearest and dearest to your hearts: love and friendship. The adolescent years are challenging--our relationships with our family and friends are constantly being redefined and we start facing tough choices about the people we want to emulate and who we want to hang out with. New friendships begin as others fall by the wayside. Moms and dads are ogres one day, best buddies the next.

Like other volumes in the Teenage Soul series, teen contributors share their thoughts and feelings on the issues that matter most to them. The stories in Love & Friendship candidly depict teens' feelings about breakups, forgiveness, love and kindness, their closest relationships and many other topics, from the happiest moments of their lives to the darkest days they struggle to put behind them.  You'll recognize their own experiences in these stories and learn valuable lessons about the true meaning of love and friendship.  Love & Friendship will encourage you to examine your relationships and make the most of the time you spend with family and friends.

Chicken Soup for the Grandparent's Soul
$12.99

 
With stories by HeartTouchers.com writers:  Kenneth L. Pierpont, Virginia Ellis, Patricia Pinney, Joe Edwards, Alison Peters, Brian G. Jett, Joe Walker, Pamela Jenkins, Roger Dean Kiser Sr., Harriet May Savitz, Terri McPherson, and Michael T. Powers!
 

Today's grandparents aren't content to sit in their rockers doing needlepoint or whittling wood-modern grandparents are healthy and active. Grandma may be traveling the world, writing a book or taking dance lessons and Grandpa might be camping with the grandkids, playing a golf tournament or skydiving! Nana may have entered the family by marrying Grampa later in life, or Pop-Pop may be a beloved family friend who's always there when someone needs him. Families are finding that the meaning of "grandparent" has changed tremendously but that grandparents continue to be treasured members of our families.

In this latest addition to the Chicken Soup family, children and grandchildren will relive memories of their parents and grandparents as they read stories of love, humor and wisdom. Each touching tale will inspire them to make the most of the time they still have together and encourage them to seek deeper experiences. Grandparents will learn the value of their contributions to and realize what an honored position they hold within their circle of loved ones. Every reader will gain a new appreciation of the benefits of a close and connected family.

This is a perfect gift to show grandparents how much they are loved.

This latest collection of Chicken Soup celebrates sports.  From major leaguers to little leaguers, from hockey stars to figure skaters, and from horseracing to mushing, the stories in this book highlight the positive and transformative nature of sports.  As you read you will see sports as one of our most important and powerful teachers, one that teaches us to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat; the importance of teamwork and the value of striving.  At its best, sports builds character and teaches us to overcome adversity.  Whether you are a professional athlete or a weekend warrior; a soccer mom or a diehard sports fan; a marathon runner or a neighborhood jogger, these stories will provide you with treasured insights into the game of life.

God Allows U-Turns
$10.00

Includes stories by HeartTouchers.com contributors, Kathryn Lay, LaRose Karr, and Michael T. Powers!
 
Publisher's Weekly says:

"This is no run-of-the-mill, cheesy inspirational book? not a book to read through in one sitting - the bite-sized chapters should be savored one or two at a time, like chocolates from a sampler."
 
CBA Marketplace says:
"When you need a picker-upper, this is the book to pick up!"
 
Writer's Digest says:
"God Allows U-Turns may be the next Chicken Soup."
 
Maxed-Out says:
"Addiction. Unemployment. Divorce. Unplanned pregnancy. Poverty. Depression. Despair. Though these are the topics of many personal accounts in God Allows U-Turns, the book is not a downer. It's page after page of triumph--some through tears and extreme drama, but many also through laughter and simple, personal epiphanies. Readers of all ages and backgrounds will find a fresh jolt of hope by reading each book in the God Allows U-Turns series."

God Allows U-Turns stories are human-interest stories with a spiritual application, affirming ways in which faith is expressed in daily life. They are stories about ordinary people doing extraordinary things with God's help; stories that touch us at our emotional core. These stories of spiritual journeys focus on timeless, universal themes like love, forgiveness, salvation, healing, and hope.

God Allows U-Turns -- American Moments:
$10.00

With stories by HeartTouchers members:  Mary Emma Allen, LaRose Karr, Karen DeLoach, and Michael T. Powers!

September 11...Columbine High School...Vietnam...the Great Depression. There are many terrible moments in American history that horrified us as a nation--but that also turned people's hearts toward God. In this special God Allows U-Turns book, Americans relate how national trials brought them to their knees--first in shock, then in prayer. Dramatic stories relate how even the worst imaginable occurrences can be used by God for His purposes. God Allows U-Turns: American Moments is an important reminder of His sovereignty in world affairs--as well as in the lives of individual people.

The Miracle of Sons

$13.95

Compiled by Jamie Miller and by HeartTouchers.com writer Jennifer Basye Sander!  Foreword by Tina Cole (From the TV show: My Three Sons), with stories by HeartTouchers.com founder Michael T. Powers!

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.
