Raising children can sometimes be a daunting task. This holiday season, give the gift of good parenting with this duo of titles, Raising Children Who Think for Themselves and Raising Everyday Heroes, from Dr. Elisa Medhus for only $20.

In Raising Children Who Think for Themselves—winner of the 2002 Parent’s Choice Award and National Parenting Publication Award, Dr. Medhus ask the question: How do you raise children to govern themselves through their inner voice of reason, listening to their own integrity? A child of any age will benefit when she or he learns how to follow inspiration and intuition. In this title, readers learn the special qualities common to all self-inspired children and the crucial differences between internal and external direction.

In Raising Everyday Heroes, Dr. Medhus, emphasizes the need for kids to learn how to make smart decisions in the face of today’s permissive culture and strong peer pressure. Many parents go to great lengths to protect their children from dangerous influences, boredom, want, and even the consequences of the kids’ own choices but Elisa Medhus believes this doesn’t allow kids to develop the skills they need to be successful adults.

She tells readers how to give their children opportunities to overcome adversity while still in a loving family environment, so they can develop internal wisdom, creative problem-solving skills, and basic common sense. Raising Everyday Heroes offers easy-to-implement techniques for raising responsible, self-reliant children.

In The Laws of Prosperity, Bishop Jordan builds on his bestseller The Laws of Thinking to unveil more of the spiritual truths that dictate success and prosperity. Each of his twenty laws—from the law of employment to the law of values—is broken down into simple explanations and exercises to help the reader better understand their divine purpose.

Five finalists were selected from 500 entries for each of ten categories. An esteemed panel of book sellers and magazine, book club and television book editors selects the finalists. The winners are chosen by secret ballot of three expert judges for each category.
