Life Not Typical

Paperback$15.00

This book is for you if

You're interested in Jennifer's story, parenting a child with special needs, or navigating your own difficult season and looking for proof that God's grace is sufficient.

Jennifer Shaw's life looked picture perfect until a series of life-altering events changed everything. A devastating miscarriage nearly ended her life, her beloved father was diagnosed with a fatal illness, and her youngest son, Toby, began to exhibit extreme and frightening behavior. Toby was eventually diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder, beginning Jennifer and her husband Nathan's journey through special needs parenting. Through it all, God's grace and faithfulness became the unshakable foundation on which they could stand. This refining fire left Jennifer with one truth: that the only essential thing was Jesus and that He was sufficient in every single circumstance.

Dumplings Mean Family

Hardcover$15.00

This book is for you if

Your family has been touched by adoption, or you want to celebrate the beautiful truth that families come in all shapes — and love makes them whole.

Jennifer's children's book, Dumplings Mean Family, is told from her son Ethan's perspective as he shares what it was like to join their family after his adoption. When Ethan and his siblings are adopted from China to the United States, everything seems so strange and different. Their new American family doesn't even know how to make Chinese food! The children are worried. Will they ever get to eat their favorite meals again? For Ethan's family, embracing two cultures means learning to fold and pinch their way to dumplings that taste like home. Truly a family project, Jennifer's oldest daughter, Rinnah, served as illustrator for this heartwarming book celebrating the truth that families can be strong and united when they commit to loving each other for who they truly are. As Ethan says, "We may be different in some ways, but we are one family!"

Nobody Tells a Dying Guy to Shut Up

Paperback$15.00

This book is for you if

You or someone you love is facing a life-limiting diagnosis — or you need proof that unshakable faith and even laughter are possible in the hardest of circumstances.

If you knew you had only a few years to live, how would you use that time? When Jennifer's father, Dave Chilcoat, was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, he had to face this question in reality. Dave began writing an online journal to keep family and friends updated on his condition. He wrote weekly for nearly three years and his chronicle was eventually read by tens of thousands around the world. This book is the heart of that journal, as edited by his wife Beth Chilcoat. It is the living account of an ordinary man who faced death with a unique brand of humor, an unshakable faith in God's goodness and grace, and a heart open to God's purposes.
