In Everyday Dad, Tim Delmont traces his ten-year journey as a single dad to his two young children. He describes the challenges he faced, his mistakes and joys, and the lessons learned from his unpredictable, life-changing experience.
After discovering that Shelley's youngest child had verbal communication delays and later being diagnosed as having Autistic Spectrum Conditions, she chose to look at life through the eyes of the child. Shelley was guided to look deeper into understanding him on a soul level and was intuitively learning new strategies to assist with his unpredictable emotions. This naturally created the space to support his siblings in the same way by exploring deeper beneath the surface and discovering that they both found it incredibly difficult to learn in todays' mainstream school environments. Shelley embraces the spiritual and human aspects of life as a parent, as a fresh perspective was needed for her family. She learned of the impact early trauma had on her style of parenting and so it became her mission to reach other parents walking the same path.In this book, Shelley talks about her mental health journey and how a holistic approach to recovery and energy healing helped her make sense of childhood trauma and experienced birth trauma. She explains how parenting opened her eyes to a broken education system and how a 'one size fits all' approach within mainstream school doesn't address the needs of every individual. Each child should be entitled to embrace a unique learning experience.
As we grow up, our moms are the lenses through which we see our lives-and even as adults, they anchor us and give us comfort. While our moms always offer us wisdom, when they get in their 90s, things get a little crazy-and sometimes downright hilarious.At least, that's been true for Bonnie Lorber Habyan's 90-year-old mother Bess.In The World According to Bess, Habyan has created a funny memoir that weaves her mother's wit, wisdom and warm-hearted sentiment into a tapestry of hilarity that has been fittingly described as a cross between Chicken Soup for the Soul and Sh*t My Dad Says.By capturing Bess's many anecdotes and aphorisms, Habyan reflects warmly on a lifetime of wisdom from a one-of-a-kind woman and all the laugh-out-loud memories they've shared. The result is a quick and quirky roadmap to living an authentic life and becoming your "Bess-t" self.Spanning topics of life, love and keeping up appearances, The World According to Bess is a feel-good book for women offering zany humor and uplifting guidance on how to keep life simple and meaningful-even if the world around us seems to be losing its mind.
When I decided to try my hand at writing I knew the topic I wanted to write about something that would help young people to see that life doesn't have to be filled with guilt and pain if we just follow God's plan for humanity before we make all the wrong choices.
Our world has an identity crisis.Have you ever wondered who you really are, or why you are even here in the first place?Every day, people struggle to find acceptance and significance in an increasingly impersonal and fractured society. But despite their best efforts, too many are left empty and hopeless.Jack Shumate has been there.

Our world has an identity crisis.And often, our churches do as well.Every day, people struggle to find acceptance and significance in an increasingly impersonal and fractured society. But despite their best efforts, too many are left empty and hopeless.A pastor for many years, Jack Shumate understands how often we find our significance through what we do, what we build, how we minister; or even how influential we have become, instead of understanding our importance to our heavenly Father and how influential we can be simply by resting in who we are as his sons and daughters.In Heaven's Highest Priority he recounts his journey to discovering identity, significance, and healthy influence, writing with vulnerability and raw honesty. He found that healing comes when we embrace what is most important to our Father in heaven: a loving relationship with him and with others.Our heavenly Father is madly in love with this orphaned world, and he longs to see people in safe and loving families that challenge, empower, and release them to become more than they ever dreamed."Pastor Jack does an amazing job of weaving his life experience and the Scriptures together to teach us about God's healing power, giving us a new perspective on the Father's heart and what biblical ministry should look like in the post-COVID era of the church."

This poetry sparks and burns with the hidden language and stories of women" -Minnie Bruce PrattJudith Arcana, a reproductive rights activist formerly involved in Chicago's pre-Roe v. Wade underground abortion service, imbues her poetry, fiction and essays with the same ferocity, humor and passion that informs her activism. As Grace Paley wrote, "What I love about this important book is how the work Judith began in Chicago years ago has deepened in poetry and prose with love for the lives of women."In light of the leaked 2022 decision regarding Roe, it's more important than ever that we examine and promote reproductive rights and justice. Judith has been a tireless fighter on this front for decades. Hello. This is Jane. was published on the 48th anniversary of her 1972 arrest as one of the "Abortion 7," which directly inspired the pieces in the collection. Hard to believe that 50 years later, we're now in danger of losing the progress she and so many others fought so hard for. Previously Judith tackled the topics in poetry, with What if your mother, first released in 2005. Note that this 2nd edition of the book includes an updated preface."The title poem ... should be made into a poster and pinned up on the wall in every clinic in the United States." -Peter Bours, MD, longtime abortion provider
