Family Resources
You can love your child with your whole heart and still come to the realization that you cannot live their life for them.
Parents of Wayward Children
Loving without enabling; healthy boundaries; releasing guilt and self-blame; knowing what you can and cannot control; protecting your marriage; recognizing unhealthy rescuing patterns; finding peace; praying without being consumed by fear; trusting God; rediscovering your own purpose and identity.
“I can love you, pray for you, and believe in you without destroying myself trying to save you.”
Marriage & Relationships
Communication, reconnecting, healthy expectations, constructive conflict resolution, intimacy and friendship, forgiveness, and protecting the marriage during stressful family seasons.
“Don't allow one family crisis to quietly create another.”
Parenting
Communication, discipline, boundaries, age-appropriate expectations, family values, listening skills, encouragement, consistency, and healthy parent-child relationships—with room for single parents, grandparents raising grandchildren, blended families, and parents of adult children.
Forgiveness & Healing
Resources addressing forgiveness, rejection, broken trust, shame, family conflict, emotional wounds, reconciliation, healthy boundaries, and moving forward.
“Forgiveness can release your heart without requiring you to return to an unhealthy situation.”
Faith & Family
Scripture studies, prayers, family devotionals, encouragement, marriage teachings, parenting lessons, and biblical principles. The H.O.P.E. Prayer Corner includes prayers for parents, children, marriages, families in crisis, forgiveness, restoration, wisdom, and salvation.
Community & Crisis
Connections to appropriate community resources for food, clothing, housing assistance, domestic-violence services, mental-health support, emergency assistance, veteran resources, and other programs.
From the Founder
Deatrice has written across memoir, devotion, and practical guidance. Each title opens on Amazon in a new tab.
Memoir · 2018
For mothers who love too much. A son who was used by God to spiritually break a mother from herself. While she was wasting time throwing punches, she didn't know God already had the fight under control.
Faith & Healing · 2022
A story of a little girl growing up watching parental abuse for years, held in bondage to hate, until something took place. A lesson in healing, understanding what is happening, and restoration.
Devotional
When it looks like all the strength you had has been diminished and no one thinks of you and your needs, God does. A devotion to remind you that you are more than a conqueror.
Journal
A journal for notes and encouragement.
Publishing Guide
For anyone looking to publish a book who doesn't know how or where to start — step-by-step instructions, notes, and more to get your book published. You can do everything you want, but you have to begin somewhere.
