Our lives are shaped by the women we come in contact with throughout our lives. These women can be our mothers, aunts, grandmothers, sisters, friends or co-workers. Many women are wounded by the ugly, shallow conflicts that burst forth from other women who've let their own insecurities rule their behavior. Unfortunately, once pain is inflicted, sometimes grudges, mistrust and unforgiveness reign too long, not allowing for the chance for deeper connections.When Women Connect strives to highlight and encourage women to reach for deeper connections in their lives. In Part One, the co-authors share stories of extraordinary connections that led to unlikely friendships and unforgettable mentors. For women who are seeking ways to make better connections, co-authors from Part Two offer advice that can transcend any place, whether it be home, church, or work.

This is a story told by a master story teller, illustrated by a master designer, about the creation and future of man. Without denominational slant, an excellent exposition enjoyable by adults, targeted toward children, and overall mezmerizing in content, color, and character depiction. A great gift for children of all ages. Finding a well-written book, about man's purpose, his origins, his potential, past, present, and future promise of happiness and eternal security is not something new in today's marketplace. But to find such a book that speaks so clearly and down-to-earth about things so often skewed to the theological preferences and filters of the author is a treasure. Just a matter-of-fact telling of Eternal God's plan and love for His grand and beloved creation. Why would an adult want to purchase and read a children's book? Perhaps it is because this illustrated and marvelously worded book tells the creation story in such a way as to be satisfying to the most educated, discerning, and searching minds whatever age they may be. It is interesting, flows smoothly, transitions appropriately and culminates in an exciting and wonderful promise and announcement that all students of the Bible look forward to, and all men and women should take comfort and joy in looking forward to. This is a coffee table book with which to sit on the couch with the kids and read it aloud, turning each page and collectively drinking in the art, colors, characters, and written wisdom of an excellent author. These prize literature finds are becoming rare today. I highly recommend this interesting book as a gift, a door opener to teach children about God and man.

From the author of AFRICA and THE W SERIES, a gripping novel that follows Amber Gillingham, an accomplished journalist, as she wrestles with society's expectations about women and motherhood.Everything is perfectly organized in Amber's life: her days at work, in the offices of a prestigious magazine in New York; her time with her beloved husband Mike, and their adventurous vacations around the world.When Amber finds out she is pregnant, her immediate reaction is sheer denial: this can't be true. She always knew she would want children one day, but now it feels so sudden, so unexpected. She tries to play for time, but Mike's reaction to the news, with pure delight and anticipation, is the exact opposite. Wasn't he happy before? Was it all a lie?The news of the pregnancy propagates like circular water waves, from close family to friends, to colleagues, to acquaintances. At each circle, Amber further detaches from the new role society is imposing on her, and she refuses to comply with the expectation of full submission to the child. At each circle, new voices join the choir of enthusiast celebrations, obstructing Amber's restless attempts to keep control on her life, to remain who she is without losing herself, her husband, or her job.NINE explores the role of women in today's society, the meaning of modern motherhood and how it impacts the relationship between a woman and her companion, her workplace, her friends, her family.Reviewers of NINE say it is a "remarkably candid" and "eye-opening take on the demons and fears of pregnancy," a powerful answer to "what we think it means to be a woman today."Perfect for book clubs!

It's A Long Way Down tells the story of David Emmeret Smith, a successful actor who, on the cusp of the biggest night of his life, acts on one impulsive decision after another, beginning a downward spiral that threatens everything he holds dear. What follows from this is a hedonist's love affair with drugs, depravity and destruction and the realization that it wasn't so far down after all."A good addict isn't built overnight.He isn't built in a week, or two weeks, or a month.An addict, much like a well-deserved discipline, a martial art, a painting, or a poem, takes time to build-and a fair bit of money-and David had as much of either of those as any junkie ever had.However, within him still remained a last quality that, in order to be a full-fledged card carrying member of team tar, to wear, not his heart on his sleeve, but junk in his veins, had to be expunged: his pride.A junkie's pride-once the junk has embedded itself into the cellular structure, once it has forced itself into every nodule and nook and nether region, once it is a necessary part of the human biome, a cellular symbiosis, a partnership baked in the intertwining facets of pleasure and pain, when you would do anything, everything, for one more taste, one stretched dollar, a soul for a spoon, a prick for a prick-is always the last to go, the final stage in a metamorphosis that no man should undertake.David, naive to the state of his body's new chemical makeup, had to learn this the hard way. He had, as the proud do, decided that he wasn't a man who bent the knee to any drug. He had to show himself that every decision he made was a conscious one, that he had a will of his own, was a man with agency.But, sooner or later, pride leaves the body, and what is left is the junk and a man must come to terms with a solitary truth: knees were made to bend."Find out in the debut novel by Ian Canon.

Why are they proliferating despite their ineffectiveness? Why is obesity continuing to increase in nearly epidemic proportions? What is missing to make the human body healthy? We have designed this handbook to cover and unify what is missing. in a concise handbook fashion which is easy to read and to follow. The end-result should be a normal weight, improved cardio-vascular system, improved musculo-skeletal system with a reduction in backache and joint problems and improved mental functioning.

Short stories of adult voices; those who struggle with love and loss, regrets, illusions, mental health, vulnerabilities in their efforts to be whole and human.As Virginia Woolf states: 'Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.' Grown-ups look back on things, and wonder ...would I do it differently, today? Insight and compassion (even for oneself) need to go hand in hand.
