Priced of God: Motherhood as a Calling
American writer, Helen Hunt Jackson, once wrote, “Motherhood is priced of God, at price no man may dare, To lessen or misunderstand.” 
Hailed by mothers as “the toughest job on earth,” 
mothering is most definitely a calling. This short teaching, presented at the 2011 Renew Conference (http://www.renewconference.org/), delves 
into the hearts of three Biblical mothers: Mary, mother of Jesus, 
who submits to a surprising visitation of God; Sarah, mother of Isaac, 
who takes circumstances into her own hands; and Jochebed, 
mother of Moses, who exhibits supernatural courage in the 
face of cultural demands. With great candor and vigor, Janell shares her own transforming call to motherhood.

The Waggle Dance
Breaking Barriers, Building Unity, & Bringing Joy to Others
A Six-Week Topical Bible Study on Creating a Caring Community

Nature offers an exemplary model of unity—the beehive. As Janell examines the anatomy of a beehive, replicates the astounding waggle dance of the worker bee, and heralds the indomitable power of unity that enables thousands upon thousands of bees to produce honey, she finds a rich source of truth that can be applied to developing a strong community, where women lay aside their differences, their egos, and their personal ambitions and agendas in order to create an authentic community of care in which a true spirit of unity exists.

Chapters include: Buzzing In, Buzzing Out: Flying Across the World,
Ready to Waggle, The Heart of the Hive, The Sting of Disunity, Guarding the Hive, Comm(unity): A Rich Source of Nectar for the World.

ROCK SOLID FAMILIES is a spiritual training manual for parents trying desperately to raise godly children in a confused culture where spirituality is dressed in gray. In a world where families are fractured, frazzled, and falling apart, Janell summarizes twelve powerful principles spiritually strong families have in common, offering not only inspiration, but simple, practical methodology and strong scriptural application.

Experts agree that the greatest gift parents can give their children is a happy marriage.
“Blindly, my husband and I embarked on our adventure of raising a Christian family,” says Janell Rardon. “It took a great deal of effort and relearning in order to overcome a dysfunctional family background. My husband and I were raised in homes where our fathers were alcoholics. Having strong mothers, a strong faith, and a gracious, redeeming God has enabled us to face our difficulties and somehow surmount the residual effects of this type of home environment.”

Janell and her husband committed to relearn what growing a family was all about. They read all they could about marriage, family, and relationships. Through turbulent waters, they fought to remain focused on the task of raising a strong family. Written after twenty years of ministry, research, personal experience, avid listening, and the keen observation of rock-solid families and “not-so” rock-solid families, this book is a spiritual training manual that summarizes twelve foundation stones for building spiritually strong family. It offers inspiration, simple and practical methodology, and strong scriptural application.

Twelve Foundation Stones for building a strong family are discussed: Vision, Flexibility, Order, Organization, Devotion, Prayer, Marital Strength, Grace, Spiritual Success, Obedience, Love and Creativity. Perfect for small group discussion or Sunday School.
