{ "item_title" : "Our Home", "item_author" : [" Cindy H. Carr "], "item_description" : "Our Home: Building A Legacy of Love by Cindy H. Carr is a heartfelt, faith-centered guide to building resilient marriages and families, published in 2025 by CHC Connect. Drawing from over four decades of marriage to her husband Dubby, ministry experience, and personal trials-including early conflicts, a painful affair, and capacity shifts-Carr offers practical wisdom for couples navigating differences without division. The book emphasizes that love is a skill to be learned, practiced, and chosen, rooted in Scripture like 1 Corinthians 13, rather than mere emotion.Structured in 15 chapters plus an epilogue and appendix, it begins with foundational ideas: embracing God's design for differences (Chapter 1), challenging assumptions (Chapter 2), and fostering unity amid disagreement (Chapter 3). Carr introduces tools like reframing-shifting from accusation to curiosity-to protect dignity and connection. Subsequent chapters explore love languages and lenses (Chapter 4), stress-induced shadow behaviors (Chapter 5), and communication for shared goals (Chapter 7). Parenting styles, financial/time/capacity frictions, fair conflict, boundaries (especially with extended family), forgiveness, individual space, family agreements, and legacy-building round out the content.Carr's approach is compassionate yet direct, blending personal anecdotes, prayers, and reframes to address real-life tensions. She warns against contempt, global labels, and unresolved pain, advocating quick repairs, mutual support, and intentional rituals like weekly check-ins. The appendix, The Our Home Tool Kit, provides chapter-specific exercises, scripts, and questions for implementation, encouraging readers to read sequentially or thematically.At its core, the book reframes marriage as sacred history-a practiced us where differences strengthen rather than fracture. It's for couples in any season, promoting humility, empathy, and God-anchored growth without moralizing or perfectionism. Carr's vulnerability fosters hope: homes aren't defined by failures but by persistent repair and honor. Ideal for Christian readers seeking actionable, non-judgmental advice, it inspires legacies of steady love in an imperfect world.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/97/119/208/1971192082_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "14.99", "online_price" : "14.99", "our_price" : "14.99", "club_price" : "14.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
