FOR ALL MOTHERS :
Be a Better Mom You Can Be
A Practical Guide to Raising Whole Children in a Broken Generation
What if you could sit down with a wise, experienced mom–someone who has dealt with her child being bullied, who has seen the impact of permissiveness, who has been forced to depend on God for every single day, and still talks with grace and compassion?
Through many years of tested faith, and her close walk with God, Marina Slayton has written this amazing book to help guide mothers through today’s often times impossible expectations. In her book, Marina will help you to write a life-changing family vision statement, break the cycle of generational sin, and explain why you don’t have to measure up to many of the difficult expectations society has created. With every move across the country, every illness she’s struggled through, Marina knows more in heart, as to what it truly means to rely on the only trustworthy source of life. What is the source to being a good mother, and the strength to go through life’s hardships? Quite simply, Jesus Christ.
In an age when brokenness abounds and cultural voices only add to the confusion, Godly mothers have never been more crucial. Many parents–and children–feel lost amidst the decaying family values in the culture, and the ever increasing amount of “best” parenting practices in the market place of ideas. With all of these issues and struggles being raised in today’s modern family, some questions are raised by many mothers:
How can we avoid the pitfalls of a secular culture?
How do we raise children who are healthy emotionally and spiritually?
What if we’re doing it wrong?
Many mothers can agree, that wise counsel from a friendly corner is desperately needed. And Marina Slayton is here to do just that, sharing her experiences, her struggles, and her faith as she walked with God through it all.
Marina has spent the past thirty years as a mother raising four kids. From California to Bermuda, from public school to homeschool, Marina has been there, and she’s not afraid to share her mistakes, epiphanies, and practical ideas. But she doesn’t stop there. In this incredible book that Marina authored together with her husband Gregory, Marina demonstrates how the power of God’s Word, and the work of the Holy Spirit can give direction and freedom to parents who need it most. In this practical book for mothers, you will gain a deeper understanding of what it really means to Be The Best Mom You Can Be.
From husband & wife to lovers for life
Maximum Marriage
Can you build your marriage into a Maximum Marriage?
Unsure? Beyond hope? Impossible? Steven S. K. Chan and the Honorable Gregory W. Slayton strongly believe, based on decades of research and personal experience, that the answer is a resounding yes indeed, you can build a Maximum Marriage! This book is about building a Maximum Marriage. It isn’t easy, but it is very rewarding. A Maximum Marriage means many things, but at its root, it means that a husband and wife can be lovers for life. This means a life of love and blessings, not just for them, but for their children and grandchildren as well. Too many people just hope things will improve on their own and often refuse to be proactive about their marriage. In realizing you have a marriage that is not optimum, you have taken a very important step towards making things better—hopefully much better!

Four Centuries of Friendship / US-Bermuda Relations 1609-2009
High on the list of Mr. Slayton’s accomplishments as General Counsel to Bermuda was the publication of the first book describing the four hundred year relationship between the US and Bermuda, “Four Centuries of Friendship: America-Bermuda Relations 1609-2009.”
Conceived and edited by his wife, Marina Slayton, the best seller is a compilation of essays written by many of Bermuda’s best historians. The book has become a Bermuda best-seller – and 100% of all proceeds go to local Bermuda charities. The Library of Congress believes that it is the first complete historical summary of US-Bermuda relations written from an American perspective ever published. The book also provided the images and materials for the “400 Years of Friendship Walls” the Slayton had erected at the American Consulate and the U.S. Preclearance facility at the airport. The “Friendship Walls” convey America and Bermuda’s long-lasting and mutually beneficial friendship for the hundreds of thousands of visitors that pass through the airport and the Consulate each year.
Four Centuries of Friendship is, according to the Library of Congress, the first book ever published on the US/Bermuda alliance from an American perspective. Containing chapters on famous Americans who loved Bermuda (from Mark Twain, Babe Ruth, Winslow Homer and Georgia O’Keefe to present day superstars such as Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones) the book is an intimate portrait of a partnership that has meant so much to both lands. Covering everything from the early days through the Revolutionary War to Bermuda’s key role in the allied victories in WWII and the Cold War, the book will be a touchstone for everyone interested in US-Bermuda relations. And with chapters covering recent history — and a look at the potential future of the US/Bermuda alliance by US Consul General to Bermuda Gregory W. Slayton — Four Centuries of Friendship is a must-have for anyone interested in any aspect of US/Bermuda relations.
