Somewhere amid the tangle of video game controllers and muddy sneakers, there’s a nice boy. And somewhere within that nice boy is a gentleman just waiting to emerge. For at least eighteen years, you’ll have the pleasure of coaxing him out, little by little. You’ll make sure he knows how to act at a formal dinner, and you’ll explain to him that answering a telephone should never involve the words “yeah” or “hang on.” And eventually, you’ll be confident that he can react maturely when his team loses in overtime or when he meets a girl he likes. He’ll know which fork to use, how to dress on an airplane, and when it’s appropriate to speak up for himself and others. Let Kay West guide you through his transformation from boy to gentleman, and watch his young life flourish.

The day she was born, you dreamed of all that lay ahead. You envisioned a gracious young girl—the sort of daughter other parents admire—one who knows how to make charming conversation and when to hold her tongue. Polite and considerate, your daughter would know exactly how to behave, whether she was at the ballet with her grandmother or in the stands at a Friday night football game. But that tiny pink bundle wasn’t born knowing the finer points of being a lady. She needs your guidance . . . because honestly, she’ll never know how much perfume is too much or how much gratitude is too little if you don’t explain. Explore these timeless fundamentals of grace, thoughtfulness, and appropriate behavior, and pass along the lessons to your young lady in-the-making.

In juli 2005 treft de politie van Florida in een piepklein achterkamertje van een vervallen huis een kind aan, een meisje van een jaar of zes, vervuild en onder de vlooien- en luizenbeten. Ze kijkt dwars door hen heen, wiegend en zwijgend. Het meisje wordt acuut meegenomen en blijkt in de bijna zeven jaar van haar leven nooit geknuffeld, voorgelezen of verzorgd te zijn. Er lijkt geen hoop op herstel, de jaren dat een kind leert praten en liefhebben liggen al een jaar of twee achter haar.Diane en Bernie Lierow hebben besloten een kind te adopteren. Ze hebben samen al een zoon en willen graag nog een dochter. Liefst een die zindelijk en zelfstandig is en al een beetje voor zichzelf kan zorgen. Maar dan kijken ze in de grote bruine ogen van Dani. Tegen ieders advies in adopteren ze haar. Met kleine stapjes leren ze Dani communiceren, eten, liefhebben... kortom, weer een kind te zijn.

We speak of peculiarity, uniqueness, and of being distinct & different. But what does that mean? What does it look like? In a world that seems to be losing faith and hope, we must rise above and continue to share Christ, His message, and His light. Do you know Him? Do you know He is here with us today? Do you know He walks here, serves here, and loves here just as He did long ago? He does all this through each of us. And as we come to know Him more, He will be able to continue to use your small efforts and magnify them into something visibly distinct & different. We hear amazing voices from women all around. But too often they are the same voices. Voices we love voices that teach, voices that lift. But still, something is missing. To be distinct & different, unique, and peculiar, we need to hear ALL voices. Within this book, you will find different voices from women around the world who are rising to our Savior''s call! Some voices will resonate with you right now, some maybe not in this season, but a future season. To be A Worldwide Sisterhood we need every distinct & different voice! Whether you connect with a few or all of the voices contained in this book, the main goal of this book is to inspire YOU to understand that you are distinct & different, and YOU are needed!
