Grief and loss happen to all of us, and the pain can be overwhelming. Questions plague us: Will I ever be happy again? Will this hole in my heart ever go away? When will I stop feeling angry, numb, and sad? And, especially for women—how can I grieve when I need to be strong for others?

Often, we cope by hiding our feelings under fake smiles and "I'm fine" replies. We let the busyness and distractions of life take over, and for a while, it feels like healing.

Unmasking Grief invites us to explore our emotions and fully embrace them, not bury them. Inside this book, you'll:

• Create a safe space to fully feel the emotional pain of grief instead of avoiding it, resisting it, or hiding from it.
• Discover how to surrender one's grief to God instead of just coping with it.
• Release unresolved feelings of anger, confusion, and resentment that leave you heavy-hearted and questioning your faith.
• Embrace the simple secret that will bring comfort when feeling empty, sad, and overwhelmed.
• Develop the courage and confidence to be more vulnerable with others instead of suffering in silence.

This book will help women of faith navigate the emotional journey of grieving the loss of a loved one. Let's find the courage to be more vulnerable with others instead of handling the heartache alone.

YOU DESERVE TO BE YOU—EVEN IF OTHERS DISAGREE

Do you dream of feeling confident in your own skin? Of no longer worrying what people think of you and whether they will approve? Instead, can your day turn on a dime with a look or a comment? Do you feel like what you do is never enough—that you’re never enough? And has all of that pressure left you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Maybe turning to food for comfort? If so, this book is for you.

Despite what you may think, I doubt you are weak, disorganized, codependent, a people pleaser, or that you lack motivation or willpower. Nor are you alone.

Over my many years working with women in therapy, it would be hard to count the number of bright, capable, successful women who have shared with me their fears of not being “good enough”, or how easily they are derailed by disapproval. And I have yet to meet a woman who feels her body is as it “should” be.

So, why is it that so many women feel they don’t measure up or find themselves constantly scrambling for approval or to be “good enough”? That is the question that prompted me to write this book.

Never Enough explores,

• the external factors, including our history as women, that keep us looking outside of ourselves for how we “should” be, while abandoning our true selves, our internal wisdom, and all that we were meant to be in this life

• how the brain, in an effort to protect and help us, often makes change difficult and knowledge insufficient in changing patterns of behavior

• the specific skills that have helped women turn this around

My gift, as a licensed psychologist, is helping women celebrate their unique beauty and truth and to step out of the no-win struggle to gain approval and be “enough.” I’d like to help you do that as well and to get you tapping into the treasure chest of strength, wisdom, and power that is waiting right there inside you! You may not believe it is there, and it is. It is just being overrun by a strong pull for approval or other outdated faulty assumptions about yourself.

Imagine how good it will feel to:

• be yourself and trust your yourself, even when facing disapproval
• deal with uncomfortable feelings like fear and guilt when speaking up
• feel confident and comfortable in your body
• celebrate who you are—your wisdom and beauty
• know what you need and be able to ask for it in an effective way
• finally get to the place where you can relax
• align with your larger purpose and greatest desires
• bloom into all you were meant to be!

I want you to have the chance to bloom and blossom in the magnificent way that is only possible for you.

My vision for you, and for all women, is a move from the outdated pull to find safety through approval to a place grounded on the firm foundation of your own wisdom—feeling safe to be yourself, to support and be supported by other women, as well as by larger sources of support like the spiritual.

This is your time to bloom! So, please don’t wait. Scroll back up to the top of the page and purchase your copy of Never Enough, right now, before something or someone pulls you away with something else you need to do.
And to help you get the most from this book, I created a companion workbook. Ideas for Reflection the Never Enough Companion Workbook provides a place where you can reflect on topics discussed in the book as well as apply them to your life. Scroll up to get your copy today!

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

“Magnificent.” —The New York Times * “Beguiling, observant, and howlingly funny.” —San Francisco Chronicle * “Spectacular.” —Star Tribune (Minneapolis)* “Full of astonishments.” —The Boston Globe

Susan Orlean—the beloved New Yorker staff writer hailed as “a national treasure” by The Washington Post and the author of the New York Times bestseller The Library Book—gathers a lifetime of musings, meditations, and in-depth profiles about animals.

“How we interact with animals has preoccupied philosophers, poets, and naturalists for ages,” writes Susan Orlean. Since the age of six, when Orlean wrote and illustrated a book called Herbert the Near-Sighted Pigeon, she’s been drawn to stories about how we live with animals, and how they abide by us. Now, in On Animals, she examines animal-human relationships through the compelling tales she has written over the course of her celebrated career.

These stories consider a range of creatures—the household pets we dote on, the animals we raise to end up as meat on our plates, the creatures who could eat us for dinner, the various tamed and untamed animals we share our planet with who are central to human life. In her own backyard, Orlean discovers the delights of keeping chickens. In a different backyard, in New Jersey, she meets a woman who has twenty-three pet tigers—something none of her neighbors knew about until one of the tigers escapes. In Iceland, the world’s most famous whale resists the efforts to set him free; in Morocco, the world’s hardest-working donkeys find respite at a special clinic. We meet a show dog and a lost dog and a pigeon who knows exactly how to get home.

Equal parts delightful and profound, enriched by Orlean’s stylish prose and precise research, these stories celebrate the meaningful cross-species connections that grace our collective existence.

In Do You Believe in Me witness a family torn apart by addiction through the eyes of a determined daughter. As her parents' lives shatter she becomes the pillar of strength, rallying her siblings to stand together in the face of adversity.

This poignant tale portrays the unbreakable bonds of family, forged through love and shared hardship. With a mix of heartrending honesty and moments of levity, the author paints a vivid picture of their journey. Can their collective love and resilience lead to redemption, or will they be forever defined by their fractured past?

Join this family on a transformative path from loss to healing in a narrative that explores the power of human connection, making Do You Believe in Me a compelling and inspiring read.

Dive into this gripping self-help narrative that explores the hidden world of covert narcissism within families.

Emma, born into the illusion of a perfect life, confronts the stark reality of a toxic family system led by a covertly narcissistic mother and a narcissistic-sadistic father. Behind closed doors, manipulation thrives, shrouded by external prosperity and a facade of good upbringing.

As Emma navigates the complexities of her seemingly idyllic family, the narrative unveils the decades-long web of manipulative tactics that have bound her in chains of abuse – both physical and psychological.

In her late 30s—amidst a personal crisis—Emma's awakening begins. In shedding light on the darkness, she unravels not only a long-held family secret but a pervasive web of deceit that she unknowingly perpetuated.

I Love You When... is more than just a fictional tale. It's a poignant exploration of covert narcissism, a force often overlooked but profoundly impactful.

Through Emma's raw and compelling story, readers gain insight into the subtle and insidious nature of narcissistic trauma within families. The narrative illustrates that healing from such trauma is not only possible but essential in breaking the cycle of abuse in future relationships.

Join Emma on her journey from darkness to light, and discover a path toward hope, self-discovery, and ultimately freedom.

I See You!

*The instant New York Times bestseller*

The untold story of four of the most decorated soldiers of World War II—all Medal of Honor recipients—from the beaches of French Morocco to Hitler’s own mountaintop fortress, by the national bestselling author of The First Wave

“Pitch-perfect.”—The Wall Street Journal • “Riveting.”—World War II magazine • “Alex Kershaw is the master of putting the reader in the heat of the action.”—Martin Dugard

As the Allies raced to defeat Hitler, four men, all in the same unit, earned medal after medal for battlefield heroism. Maurice “Footsie” Britt, a former professional football player, became the very first American to receive every award for valor in a single war. Michael Daly was a West Point dropout who risked his neck over and over to keep his men alive. Keith Ware would one day become the first and only draftee in history to attain the rank of general before serving in Vietnam. In WWII, Ware owed his life to the finest soldier he ever commanded, a baby-faced Texan named Audie Murphy. In the campaign to liberate Europe, each would gain the ultimate accolade, the Congressional Medal of Honor.
 
Tapping into personal interviews and a wealth of primary source material, Alex Kershaw has delivered his most gripping account yet of American courage, spanning more than six hundred days of increasingly merciless combat, from the deserts of North Africa to the dark heart of Nazi Germany. Once the guns fell silent, these four exceptional warriors would discover just how heavy the Medal of Honor could be—and how great the expectations associated with it. Having survived against all odds, who among them would finally find peace?

Managing for Meteors provides a conduit for passing on direct experiences, raising questions, and providing tools for new leaders to consider for enhancing the functions of local governments and getting prepared in advance of major disruptors.

The American workplace, and especially local governments, faces increasingly numerous metaphoric meteors in these ever-changing times. These meteors can appear in the form of cyber-attacks, international military conflicts, continental supply chain disruption, a global pandemic, or things we have yet to imagine...

Under these scenarios, inevitably the attention of leaders will be diverted from daily operational activities on which community constituents rely. Managing for Meteors is aimed at priming organizations to be as efficient and effective as possible, so when that major disruption hits - the agency will be more likely to pass the preparedness test.

This is the inspiring story of Jeffrey Cooper's lifelong journey through the fast-paced and ever-changing world of technology, from computer operator to chip developer, and his search for meaning.

This book is about

• Our kinship with animals.
• What it means to be intelligent.
• The difference between subjective and objective reality.
• The battle between the rational mind and the emotional mind for control of your behavior.
• Becoming more self-aware.
• The fundamental importance of the pursuit of knowledge.
• The need for better leadership and ways to find it.
• The advantages and dangers of machine intelligence.
• How to become a better you, a better us.

Human intelligence is all we need to be able to cure cancer, colonize Mars and establish peace and prosperity for all. But what happens when it feels better to behave impulsively, emotionally instead of using our smarts? Finding the motivation to cure cancer is hard for someone specializing in partying, watching sports or playing video games.

Animal behavior is largely guided by emotion. We inherited our emotional foundation from our distant evolutionary ancestors. But our more recent ancestors developed a brave new means of controlling our behavior—a high level of intelligence. So now we have two separate sources of behavioral control? If your behavior is like a car being operated by two different drivers, what are the odds it won’t end up in a ditch? If this situation isn’t bad enough, we’re having so many little problems – like making correct change or forgetting to set the alarm – that we are busily inventing artificial intelligence to do our thinking for us.

Emotional Beauty and the Limits of Human Intelligence explores the behavior of animals and people by contrasting wants versus needs. Sometimes our emotional desires strengthen our efforts by reinforcing what we know we should be doing. But often (more often?) we respond to desire even when it conflicts with what we know we ought to do, like eating those dangerous donuts, downing too many light beers, or putting urgent tasks off till later. And then there are the really dangerous things like driving while intoxicated, committing theft, rape, murder, starting a war or cheating on your income taxes.

So here we are, relying on our occasionally useful intelligence to prevent nuclear wars, snuff out deadly pandemics, and forestall potentially catastrophic climate change. With serious problems like these, isn't it about time we took a close look at whether humans are really up to these tasks? In Emotional Beauty and the Limits of Human Intelligence, Dr.Thomas Atwood takes a fresh new look why you feel the way you do and do the things you do, and what you and all the rest of us ought to do about it.

If there is a God who is both good and all-powerful, then how can this be happening?

In his work "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion", the eighteenth century Scottish philosopher, David Hume, argued against the teleological argument for the existence of God, by pointing out that a perfect God (a God who does not make mistakes) would never have created a world so full of mistakes as this one is. The nineteenth century German philosopher, Ernst Haeckel, coined a brand-new name for this argument; he called it the "dysteleological argument". It presents a good question: how could an all-powerful and benevolent God have created a world like this one, where suffering is ubiquitous?

There is no shortage of inadequate answers to this question, often presented by people who have suffered very little. There are sound answers to be found, resting on the solid foundation of God's revelation, but they are not easy answers. It is that plot of stony ground that this little book seeks to plow. None of the answers in this book are novel, nevertheless, they are seldom heard today within the halls (or more likely, the cafes) of popular Christianity.

Not only do Hume's and Haeckel's salvos fall short of their target, but they also leave their proponents hopelessly adrift in a fog-bound sea of nihilism. In an atheistic world, suffering has no ultimate purpose, but this is not a nihilistic world. In the arms of a loving and sovereign God, even our darkest hours are redeemed for good, and it is here where I earnestly hope the reader will find himself.

In this book, you will learn:

That human suffering is not a mistake, but is consistent with the revealed will of God.

That the reality of human and satanic evil is not inconsistent with the goodness and sovereignty of God.

That God is glorified, and his people refined, through suffering.

That, without a sovereign God, our suffering would have no purpose, but that, in the sovereign plan of God it is infinitely purposeful.

That it is only in submission to the true God, through faith in Jesus Christ, that this infinite purpose can be realized.

This is a must-read for anyone who wants to embark on a spiritual journey. Within the pages of this book you will find the true meaning of faith and discover more about Christian living. To learn more, get a copy now!

What do you do when your entire life feels empty? When you feel as if you meant for more?

In "No One is Coming to Save You", it urges readers to embark on an introspective journey amid the backdrop of seemingly ordinary lives plagued by a sense of emptiness.

The book challenges the notion of an ordinary life, pointing out the dissatisfaction that often lurks beneath its surface. The narrative unfolds as a guide to personal development, rooted in levels of consciousness, starting with the "gift of choice" in self-awareness. It empowers readers to understand the choices shaping their lives and emphasizes the power to make different choices.

The journey progresses to self-acceptance, the "gift of love," offering tools to embrace imperfections and enhance self-worth. Finally, it culminates in self-awakening, the "gift of freedom," prompting individuals to break free from societal constructs and discover their passion and purpose.

The book challenges the status quo, emphasizing that the keys to an extraordinary life lie within, advocating for self-awareness, acceptance, and awakening to transcend the ordinary and celebrate life. Grab your copy today!

Does God really care about you?

This is a question we all have to ask ourselves. This book isn’t for the girls who’ve always done everything right. It’s for the oops–I–did–it–againers, the live–my–life–on–my–own–termers, the sometimes–learn–from–my–mistakers, the ones who’ve fallen down hard and lived to tell the tale, who’ve never quite fit the good-girl mold—the perfectly imperfect. It’s an open and raw look at what happens when a Christian damages her testimony and the restorative power of God’s love. Through personal stories, Stacy invites you into some of her darkest days and candidly shares hard-won wisdom around questions like . . .

• Why do Christians run screaming in the opposite direction when someone’s life gets messy?
• What should your role be when another Christian makes a mistake or struggles with something with which you don’t agree?
• How can you overcome crippling fear, anxiety, and worry?
• Why do you wander away from God over and over again?
• Does it really matter if you forgive someone who wronged you?

This is not your mom’s devotional. It’s not filled with flowery descriptions or complex theology. It’s for women who are ready to get real and have an honest conversation about what it means to make a royal mess of your life and the painful paths your choices sometimes lead you down.

Inside you’ll find extraordinary truths and practical tips sprinkled with loads of encouragement meant just for you slightly imperfect daughters of the king! Grab your copy today!
