Summary:

Looting of archaeological sites is big business in a thriving art and antiquities black market. When a desperate foreign government hires Desiree Jacobs’s security company to stop the hemorrhage, she runs afoul of a deadly art-for-drugs operation. Tony Lucano risks his rising career in the FBI to dive into the international underworld after her. Before either of them can come up for air, they must navigate through a deepening murk of ruthless looters, hair-trigger DEA agents, crooked government agents, and innocent bystanders caught up in an illegal trade beyond their understanding. Even if a miracle delivers Desi and Tony from evil, will their love survive the test?

Complete with a reader’s guide, this third book in the To Catch a Thief series explores the power of hope in the darkest of circumstances.

What people are saying about, “For Parents Only”Go behind the scenes into the mind of your teens and pre-teens—and discover why they act, talk, and think like they do! Using the same innovative approach that sparked national water-cooler conversation with ‘For Women Only,’ Feldhahn and Rice’s nationwide research on young people will help confused parents understand the inner desires, fears and needs that spark their kids’ confusing or exasperating behaviors — insight that will allow parents to not only get ahead in the parenting game, but relate so much better with their kid. 192 pages, hardcover from Multnomah.-Christianbook.com—Filled with profound, eye-opening and statistically solid survey results garnered from more than 1,200 teenagers nationwide, FOR PARENTS ONLY offers moms and dads a never-before-seen glimpse into the hearts and minds of their children. Tackling such topics as what’s really going on behind that attitude, the six biggest pet peeves of teens regarding their parents and how and when to allow kids appropriate responsibility and risk, best-selling authors Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa A. Rice unravel the mysteries behind the misunderstood behavior of young people.“Whether you’re the parent of a small child and want to lay a foundation for the years ahead, or whether you only have a few months left until Junior leaves the nest, the goal of this book is to help you understand several key things that are likely going on in the inner life of your child, some inner wiring that you may have never understood before,” writes Feldhahn. “Our goal is to serve as your tour guides through the strange and wonderful world of ‘teendom’ and give you new information to help you understand what’s going on inside kids… and how these facts can give clearer direction to your parenting.”FOR PARENTS ONLY better equips moms and dads to not only maximize, but also enjoy the precious little time they have with their children. By beginning to understand their kids better, parents will learn to interact with them in healthier, constructive ways.

Summary:

Shaunti Feldhahn is known for unlocking the mysteries of relationships for men and women. Now she turns to a parent’s relationship with a child, particularly a child of the opposite sex. Drawing on the results of a nationwide survey of kids and teenagers, she explores questions such as:

  • What do moms need to understand about the “tough and tender” boy who values respect over love?

  • What do dads need to understand about their daughter’s need for affirmation?

  • What are the six biggest pet peeves teens have about their parents?

Understanding the answers to these and other important questions can help parents make the holidays a time of celebration and unity, not strife and friction.

For Parents Only offers a unique look into a child’s mind and frees readers to communicate in healthier ways as they discover that understanding their kids may not be as complicated as they think.
