Carol Kent has lived every parent's nightmare. A New Kind of Normal begins with the story of that horrible night when Carol and Gene learned their son had been arrested, but it doesn't end there. In fact, Carol knows what it means to live with an unthinkable circumstance that will never change -- and to still make hope-filled choices. Through the eight chapters in this book, Carol will use their own story, the story of Mary mother of Jesus, and stories of women who have experienced their own "new normal" to share how God has led them to choose life, gratitude, vulnerability, involvement, forgiveness, trust, and action.

Carol Kent's life changed forever when her twenty-five year old son, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and a lieutenant in the navy with an impeccable military record, shot and killed his wife's ex-husband. [MORE]

A salute to those who show up every morning to one of the most important jobs in the country—teaching.

Whether you are walking through the shadows, or enjoying a period of time on life’s sunny side of the street, the authors pray that God will take the tears we have cried, the tears he has lovingly dried, and turn them into sparkling reflections of hope that will enable you to see a little more of his sunshine today.
