Even when life is hectic and harried, every woman has a God-given longing for relationship, and her female friends play an important role in filling that. Oliver and Smalley help women distinguish between self-centered, insecure, childish relationships and other-centered, healthy, “grown-up” relationships. Using personal anecdotes and scriptural principles, they explain ten characteristics of a grown-up friend and offer ideas on how readers can develop these attributes in themselves. Finally, they tackle the tough issues of friendships, such as how to support a friend in crisis, how to work toward forgiveness when a friend has injured you, and how to determine when it is best to let a friendship go.

If you have a teen or pre-teen, you recognize the phenomenon already-perhaps without even knowing it has a name. "The second family," as uncompromisingly described by renowned therapist Dr. Ron Taffel is the immense collective power of the peer group and pop culture-a force so pervasive, it threatens to, and often succeeds in, overwhelming the first family of adults at home and in school. Derived from thousands of interviews with kids and adults, The Second Family uses real-life, sometimes graphic examples to bare the truth about the world of adolescence today and to illuminate the new set of rules by which kids operate.

The second family can be scary to adults. While many parents bury their heads, insisting "not my child," Taffel reveals that even "good" children:
- Chronically lie without a trace of guilt
- Have sex at astonishingly early ages
- Do drugs and alcohol not to be bad but simply because they are there

Yet there are healthy aspects to the second family that often go unrecognized:
- A secret moral code of peer support that will surprise you
- Boys and girls as best friends
- Boys taking care of friends in emotional need
- Girls becoming powerful group leaders
- A social structure for teens that provides a type of intimacy, support, communication and honesty he or she can't find anywhere else.

It is impossible to understand today's teens or preteens without understanding the Second Family. Taffel opens a window into a closed world of frightening dangers and equally uplifting possibilities.

This is the second edition of the best-selling Facebook for Grown-Ups, updated for all the changes Facebook has made over the past year - and there have been a lot. Instead of focusing on youth-oriented activities, this book focuses on what baby boomers and seniors want to do on Facebook. Facebook for Grown-Ups, 2/e offers clear explanations and simple step-by-step instructions from Michael Miller, a world-renowned expert on simplifying complex topics. New to the second edition of this book is coverage of Facebook's new photo uploading/sharing capabilities, new "fan" pages, new groups functionality, and new (and constantly changing) privacy settings. Also new are chapters on Facebook's new unified message center; what you should - and shouldn't - post on Facebook; third-party Facebook tools; and other social networks of interest to grown-ups, including Twitter and LinkedIn. Updated coverage: " Find old friends, family, and colleagues on Facebook " Share family photos and home videos " Decide what to share and what to keep private " Discover the Facebook applications and games that over-40 users are most likely to be interested in " Keep tabs on the kids on Facebook - without driving them crazy " Updating your friends on what you've been up to Every topic is approached from the standpoint of adult users - not kids or grandkids!
