Heading into the unknown world of adult orphanhood?

Helping one’s parents as they age and eventually leave this world can be difficult. While caring for them perfectly isn’t a realistic expectation, it is possible to let them go without losing sight of kindness and compassion for them and the caregiver.

When parents begin to need assistance, the path from mild annoyance to complete overwhelm can change in an instant. Given the combination of family dynamics, health concerns, and current life responsibilities, it should be little surprise that there is no “one-size-fits-all” answer. Friction between siblings, parents, and caregivers can quickly intensify as everyone tries to map out the best plan of action.

Having lost her father at a young age and then much later assisting her mother through the last years of her long life, author Ingrid Hanson-Popp offers both soulful advice and practical tips through her own story and the stories of more than a dozen friends who are fellow orphans—those who have entered the new world of life without Mom or Dad.

Becoming an Orphan shares the experiences and advice of others who have experienced the death of a parent, providing hope and direction on becoming an orphan.

• Discover realistic strategies to help during the season of letting parents go.
• Realize how compassion can help one successfully navigate the uncharted waters of grief and becoming an adult orphan.
• Learn tips to take care of oneself while caring for aging parents

The Canteen explores the dangers of self-sufficiency and the profound lessons learned from stepping out into the unknown through the lens of one man’s African mission.

At the pivotal age of nineteen, Kyle Gabhart embarked on a journey that expanded his horizons, challenged his faith, and allowed him to experience a world he had only read about. Traveling from Fort Worth, Texas, to Johannesburg, South Africa, he was confronted by a world that was as foreign and fierce as it was brilliant and beautiful. For nearly a month, he explored Johannesburg, Pretoria, the surrounding wilderness, and the bush in Zimbabwe.

For the next two decades, his experiences continued to make an indelible impact on his life, opening his eyes to the realities of hunger and violence experienced in other parts of the globe. Before this journey, Kyle had little understanding of developing countries, and never before had he been a minority or spent much time in a place where English was not the dominant tongue. Those twenty-five days in May 1999 immersed Kyle in a foreign land with a radically different culture and transformed the way he sees the world.

The Canteen invites believers on a journey of faith and discovery that challenges them to analyze the source of their confidence. Are they relying upon their own skills and assets or the Lord’s? Are they clutching onto something temporal as their provision or releasing everything to open their arms for whatever God has in store for them?

Scorpions Ascent is an action-packed young adult novel that blends Iron Age archaeology with the thrill of Indiana Jones adventure.

Tzakhi dreads being apprenticed to the smelting fires of King Solomon’s mines, but when his father is kidnapped, he has the opportunity to rescue him and demonstrate that he already has a different set of skills. 

Tzakhi’s father Nachshon is steward over the mines of the Arava, and Tzakhi’s older half brothers serve the fires. Tzakhi loves working with the animals of the caravansary at Tamar and learning desert craft from Captain Avi-dan, commander of the Tamar fortress. Tzakhi visits Scorpions’ Ascent, where he’d seen his older brother Salmah draw in a pack of wolves with his flute. He, too, draws in the pack with his shofar—a song his mother sang of an epic journey and wolves.

When his father is kidnapped for his metallurgical skill by Hadad, Tzakhi tracks the kidnappers. A Torah teacher known only as the Levite gives Tzakhi a sword and a blessing that the ancient hornet of Moses go before him.

Tzakhi finds the raiders’ camp at the suspected Mt. Sinai. Can Tzakhi use desert craft and the lessons he learned from Avi-dan and the Levite to cut them down?

Scorpions Ascent takes a thriller turn, showing readers how the imagination and faith of the young can carve out solutions.

So many people let life pass them by without going after the things that truly make them happy. Life, Unlimited is here to remind people of what’s possible and show them the way to the life of their dreams. 

In 2012, Tray Rush was struggling to make ends meet. He tried switching jobs, taking on second jobs, and pursuing countless failed “can’t miss” business opportunities, in an effort to turn things around. Nothing worked. Fearing his dream of becoming an entertainer and building a life of freedom as an entrepreneur would never happen, he tried something different. He quit job hopping and chasing after mindless side hustles, and began studying the best minds in human behavior, success, and self-help. Then, he turned what he learned into a series of simple steps he could take every day.

To his surprise, two things happened. First, his mindset changed, and he began to see the world differently. Next, his behavior changed, and he became more focused with his actions. And, sure enough, he began achieving more by doing less and his dream of becoming an entertainer started to bear fruit on YouTube. In just a few years, Tray amassed more than 10+ million social media followers, billions of views on YouTube, and a thriving business and real estate portfolio.

Tray’s transformation was achieved by a system that can be used by anyone to identify, pursue, and live Life, Unlimited. Researched and tested in the real world, it has been shared with those who noticed Tray’s progress and asked how he did it. Now, it’s available to everyone.

Retune Your Heart is a beautiful reminder of how the “extra” is everywhere if people are willing to open their eyes and hearts to see it.

Life is full of things that, at first glance, seem rather ordinary: a young girl learning to ride a bike with her dad; the bond between an old man and his canine companion; a pair of eighty-year-old lovers still holding hands; sunrises, sunsets, and double rainbows; and the kindness of strangers, to name a few. 

But several years ago, Don Blackwell realized that if he paid a little closer attention, opened his eyes and heart just a little wider, every now and then he would see beyond the ordinariness. He would see something “extra.” Turns out, the “extra” is everywhere—and it’s unspeakably beautiful.

This inspirational guidebook uses deeply personal stories to provide encouragement to those searching and hungry for hope and provides the wake-up call the world needs concerning mental health.

Retune Your Heart stirs the spirits and soothes the soul, urging people to move beyond setbacks and heartbreak, embrace vulnerability, and get back to living their best, most authentic lives. 

How can one view the world biologically but also biblically?

The walls people build around their lives protect them—but also limit them.

People build many intellectual, emotional, and spiritual walls around themselves, those they love, and their community. Often, these walls safeguard them and help them understand their life and purpose. Yet sometimes, these walls impede people from fully experiencing life as God wants them to.

Which self-built walls are helping these people? Which walls are holding them back?

In his second book, Biblical Biology, Dr. Woodard invites individuals to explore big ideas around biology and faith to see whether any of these ideas hit up against their walls. If they do, that’s okay. Believers are encouraged to see whether there might be something on the other side that opens up a new way to think, feel, or connect with God.

Dealing with themes young people face when it comes to spirituality, such as popularity and pop culture, pantheistic and secularistic influences, and the allure of materialism, it also serves as a conversation starter for young Christians and their friends who have yet to become followers of Christ.

In Discovering Ataraxia, Allie and her brother, S.J. - who has Autism Spectrum Disorder – are ushered into an alternate world, where they find two kingdoms on the brink of battle: the peace-loving Ataraxia and the hostile Malvelnia led by wily King Wendigo. 

Insights gained in this alt-universe will come in handy as Allie and S.J. face their own struggles in their new hometown of Lakeshores, North Carolina, where they come face to face with bullies, cliques, and adjustment pains every kid can relate to. As Allie and her brother get to know their new classmates, some become friends while others display hurtful behavior that is typical for tweens and teens who are figuring out how to express themselves and perceive others. These age groups are grappling with asserting their unique personalities, but insecurities often provoke ugly behavior that at its worst can be quite harmful to others. 

Discovering Ataraxia tells an entertaining story that teaches tweens and teens to see the importance of their choices. Current surveys of this age group reveal that the issues of bullying, body shaming, and thoughts of suicide are prevalent. This story seeks to highlight avenues of hope and light in a world often steeped in darkness, while inspiring young people to be strong and courageous individuals.

Heartbroken and once again defeated by Augland, Ashton is forced to decide whether to accept the loss and keep her freedom, or fight against the tyranny of the Suits, even if it means going back into the dome of the Augland park she fought so hard to escape.

Ashton soon discovers that the levels of Augland 54’s treachery go far deeper than she ever imagined and the only way to fight it is to become another version of herself. But even with the façade, Ashton is afraid she is unsuitable to lead the rebellion. Can the workers, exhausted and unprotected, rise up against the augmented and idealized world of the Suits? All Ashton knows is that she refuses to lose anyone else. It’s time for the rise of the UnSuited.

“By employing a vivid bestiary of creature both mundane and monstrous, Nickerson crafts a fantastical series opener that leaves ample room for future installments.” —Publisher’s Weekly

“Fast, funny, and weird in the best way! The Salamander Stone has the extremely messed up teen angst you’re looking for.”—Travis Baldree, New York Times, USA Today and ABA Indie best-selling author of Legends & Lattes

Ellie Adair isn’t surprised when a vampire appears in the takeout window of her part-time job, and while she’s afraid of the flame salamander attacking her employer’s ice cream store, she’s come to expect these sudden monster attacks. They’ve been happening across the globe for nearly a year, to the point that local governments are beginning to fund towns that organize their own “monster-hunting” militias. 

But Ellie’s not concerned with the Beowulf Brigade’s newsletter or the push for vampires to integrate into society. She’s too busy searching for answers about her father's disappearance, her mother's battle with mental illness, her grandfather’s suddenly failing health, and the fact that—just weeks after turning sixteen—Ellie starts transforming into a lumbering, bloodthirsty beast. 

In a world where insurance companies offer supernatural creature coverage for monster attacks and restaurants offer hema, a blood substitute for vampires wanting to follow more sustainable diets, Ellie isn't sure which side she's on, but she knows that whatever is kidnapping teens from Errolton High School needs to be stopped. And maybe, with the help of her friends, her monstrous persona can make a difference.

The Salamander Stone is a tale of monsters, teen angst, and one girl's journey to heal her estranged relationship with her family—and herself. 

There is great news and bad news when it comes to podcasting.

The great news? Anybody can start a podcast. The bad news? Anybody can start a podcast. And it seems as if everyone is starting a podcast.

A simple Google search reveals countless guides about how to start a podcast. From equipment to software, someone can go live with a new podcast in a matter of days with simple step-by-step instructions about recording and launching their show.

But what’s lacking is simple and effective training on how to create a podcast that’s actually listenable—that makes listeners hit that subscribe button. In Listenable, syndicated morning-drive radio host, Bert Weiss, shares a simple content and delivery strategy anyone can use to produce a show that builds a large, loyal audience.

No matter how hard she tries, Ashton cannot keep her head down. Not after Sheva is dragged off a train in front of her.

Augland 54 is the Pacific Northwest’s most extravagant theme park. Those with Suits choose the body they want and live the life of their dreams…and those without Suits work for the Artificial Existence Center, or AEC. As long as the workers keep their heads down, Augland provides food and shelter from the post-war world outside its domed walls.

When Ashton is sent to the new Land of Legends park, she discovers that Augland is keeping secrets—inside and outside of its walls—and they’re more violent than she ever expected. So she decides to fight back. After all, if Augland is going to make her dress up as a red-headed warrior princess, then she’s more than willing to become one.

In a corporation-ruled world inhabited by the augmented bodies of the wealthy, securely cut off from the rest in life-extending pods, Ashton exposes the sham of corporate success and refuses to remain a cog in the machine. The only thing that matters now is freedom.

With exciting combat and training stories from his F-14 to heart-wrenching examples from his near-fatal accident and recovery, John Ramstead equips readers with invaluable life tools that don’t feel like lessons. Most books in this genre focus on the “what” and the “how” of leadership; but John’s experiences as a Fortune 500 manager, serial entrepreneur, and executive coach taught him that the critical missing component in achieving everything leaders dream of is WHO they are at their core…then the rest will fall into place.

The country is in chaos. Everywhere you look, it seems America has lost its collective mind. 

This mass formation psychosis has disconnected the public from the truth and each other. Anxiety is a pandemic, and few have little faith in any of our institutions, not knowing what to believe. Our constitutional protections as citizens are under attack. 

The situation we find ourselves in is not a result of a miscalculation but a planned deconstruction of the country by our enemies. This attack has been largely carried out with weapons of misinformation and disinformation from the media, our government, social media, and nongovernmental organizations. 

The citizenry of this country must regain a natural skepticism and question everything, resisting the temptation to trust the government to do everything for us. We must restore our mental autonomy and ability to think for ourselves instead of being told what to think. 

America’s Systemic Psychosis provides the diagnosis of our problem, explains how the current psychosis and disconnect from the truth has come to pass, and the steps we all need to take to get our minds back, finding sanity and stability once again.

In the battle between the stifling Dragon and the boundless GOAT each person longs to be, which force will prevail?

Individuals often struggle between their primitive, protective “Dragon” brain and their desire to live a full and vibrant GOAT (Greatest of All Time) life. Most people fall prey to the domineering Dragon, punching the clock, settling for “good enough,” and watching their dreams fade to grey. When the world seems heavy and the days seem long, the Dragon is winning. But it doesn’t have to be that way. 

Anyone can transform the tragedy of a bland life by tending to their inner GOAT: that unique and incredible version of themselves that wants to write the story of their life, in their own words, with their own adventures.

In The Dragon and the GOAT, Rebecca shows how to discern if one’s Dragon is winning and whether their GOAT has been hidden away, just waiting to be noticed and given permission to pursue that which they truly want out of life. 

Through a guided series of strategies, individuals can learn how to tame the Dragon and limit its ability to hold them back from reaching their fullest potential. At the same time, she teaches individuals how to scale up their GOAT-ness by taking small steps towards that magnificent future they want but, for various reasons, haven’t stepped into – yet.

Every day, there is a winner and loser between the Dragon and the GOAT. Which one will you feed?

In Work in Progress, Dr. Abbie Maroño debunks the pervasive myth that shame is the antithesis of empowerment, revealing how, if understood and embraced, it can guide us towards our most authentic selves.

Popular media often offers individuals empty promises of empowerment, urging them to become ‘bulletproof.’ It also portrays shame as the antithesis of empowerment. Yet, in reality, shame signals when one’s actions don’t align with their ideal self. By dismissing this signal, they hinder their journey to becoming their best selves. True empowerment arises when one cultivates a healthy relationship with shame.

Work in Progress delves into the science of shame and empowerment, equipping people to navigate their feelings of shame and transition into a state of empowerment. While many books on empowerment are well-intentioned, they often overlook or misinterpret the science behind individuals’ experiences of shame, how they reconcile their self-perception with their surroundings, and how they achieve empowerment amidst its elusive definition. This work challenges the idea that empowerment is exclusively a feminist concept reserved for women. It underscores that empowerment is universal, accessible to all, no matter who they are.

According to Master-certified life coach and Le Cordon Bleu trained chef Molly Zemek, untangling food’s role as a necessary source of nourishment and emotional comfort may be a complicated process, but it is an essential part of personal healing.

Her passion for eating and cooking led to her feeling out of control around food and took its toll on her mental and physical health. Compared to others, who seemed to know when they’d eaten enough, Molly felt like she was missing a “stop” button. 

Once Molly discovered the reasons behind her internal battle with food and herself, she was able to help countless others investigate their relationship with food—empowering them to act without sacrificing the pleasure in eating. Her approach, detailed within Decoding Your Emotional Appetite, offers a unique perspective on food and wellness for anyone seeking to better understand their eating habits. 

Decoding Your Emotional Appetite addresses the many reasons people eat—beyond fuel. With the lessons she learned from her own weight-loss journey, and those of her clients, Molly Zemek helps health and food enthusiasts identify what’s at the heart of their eating, in order to create the relationship they want with food and themselves.

La vida en Estados Unidos se ha fracturado, tanto en público y en privado, a través de grietas de ira e incivilidad cada vez más amplias. 

La intensidad del desacuerdo entre los estadounidenses amenaza el bienestar de la nación, presentándose como una falta de respeto y desconfianza en la política, la cultura y el dialogo. La confusión, la frustración y el odio impregnan la política, las interacciones en las redes sociales y las noticias. La disfunción y la desconfianza también aparecen en las calles y en las mesas.

Es urgente que los estadounidenses se unan. ¿Pero cómo? Los encuestadores y estrategas políticos Ed Goeas, republicano, y Celinda Lake, demócrata, llevan más de treinta años trabajando juntos en su innovadora encuesta conjunta Battleground y comparten el estetoscopio para tomar el pulso al público estadounidense. En sus muy respetadas y ampliamente citadas encuestas Battleground, formulan preguntas y obtienen respuestas que nos dicen lo que la gente piensa y siente sobre los temas más acuciantes del momento. 

Aunque a menudo utilizan resultados relevantes de sus encuestas en este libro para ilustrar sus argumentos, Cuestión de Respeto no trata de encuestas ni contiene un antídoto mágico para los males de Estados Unidos. Por el contrario, se trata de un recurso político que describe de forma convincente cómo ha llegado la nación a este punto y, lo que es más importante, hacia dónde debe dirigirse y qué podría hacer falta para ello. Aunque Ed es republicano y Celinda demócrata, han cruzado la gran divisoria para defender que la única forma de que Estados Unidos salga de este lío es mediante el respeto mutuo. Afirman que el respeto es la base sobre la que podemos volver a confiar unos en otros como estadounidenses.

Successful people do not avoid failure, but rather use it as a steppingstone to reach their goals.

For too long people have been defeated by the idea that life stops when you fail. In The Art of Doubling Down, author Anthony Michael Russo turns this idea on its head, proving that failure is far from the end of the road. 

The Art of Doubling Down highlights stories of successful people who experienced failure and leveraged it as a learning opportunity to become stronger and more resilient.

Through these inspirational stories and practical tips, individuals can learn how to transform their fear of failure into motivation to face challenges head-on.

Money impacts every facet of life. And constant money related concerns have a negative impact on a person’s overall health and well-being. While money does not buy happiness, financial security can reduce stress and make life much easier to navigate. 

Mindful and Intentional Money Management takes people to the root of their money management behavior that has been formed by their money scripts (long held beliefs and perspectives on money that one has learned throughout life), personality, habits, attitude, and values. Dr. Simpson presents three action plans to build a solid financial foundation that include helping readers know where they’re going (setting goals), know where they are (creating a financial snapshot), and learn/play/execute (bridging the gap between their goals and financial snapshot).

Part 1 introduces the SMARTER goal system to guide readers to set mindful and intentional financial goals. In Part 2, readers compare their income and expenses, assets and debt, and debt-to-income ratio to determine their current net worth. This provides their financial snapshot. Part 3 instructs readers on how to plan and execute strategies to make behavior changes that lead to lasting change and progress that support a secure financial future.

Readers will identify and eliminate poor money management behaviors and replace them with new habits that are sustainable and aligned with their value system and goals. The power of habits and creating muscle memory will automate money management decisions and make the change in behavior much easier. The strategies offered here can be life changing when applied.

What happens when someone gets fired from their church?

One day in the Spring of 2017, Pastor Kyle Isabelli was brought into his supervisor’s office at his church and to his complete surprise, was told “he wasn’t a good fit” as the youth pastor of the church and was fired from his job. This sent Kyle into a process of navigating being fired, dealing directly with the pain caused by this experience, and figuring out his next steps in life and ministry. 

Through this traumatic experience, Kyle prayed, read, sought wisdom and journaled, which in turn, helped him process his pain, regain his purpose and persevere through one of the most challenging seasons of his life. 

Over time, he’s realized that he’s not alone. Far too many pastors, church staff and church members have struggled immensely when they experience a church firing. So, he’s sharing his story and wisdom to help and encourage others as they are Refined by the Fire(d).

Now, as a Senior Pastor since January 2020, Kyle has a greater passion to create healthy staff cultures and come alongside those in the Church, whether staff or church members, to help them process pain, regain purpose and persevere through their own church firing.
