Vax Facts is a one-stop-shop for all the information parents and guardians need to make an informed choice about childhood vaccinations.

The challenge for most who are wrestling with whether to give a vaccine is a lack of understanding about what information they really need to make an informed decision.

Written by a pediatrician who witnessed the difference over decades in the health outcomes of the vaccinated, partially vaccinated, and unvaccinated children in his practice, Vax Facts will enlighten parents and guardians and provide the information needed for informed consent.

Covering each of the vaccines recommended by the CDC and doctors, from pregnancy through the teen years, this detailed guide breaks down the ingredients, the lack of safety testing, and the side effects and risks of the vaccines.

With almost four million births per year in the United States, this useful resource will resonate with all who are pregnant or considering pregnancy, and all parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles who are considering whether vaccination is appropriate for a family member or loved one.

At the end of each chapter, Just a Mom (coauthor DeeDee Hoover) shares personal stories and reflections that allow readers to connect with the information.

This information-packed guide is for all those asking “Should I get my child vaccinated?” who want more than just a yes/no answer. After reading Vax Facts, parents and guardians will be able to decide with confidence whether vaccination is the right choice for their loved one.

Are you ready to confidently communicate in your life? Are you ready to seize every opportunity that comes your way?

Becoming a Master Communicator, by Renée Marino-communication coach, Broadway actress, and star of Clint Eastwood’s Jersey Boys film-is a guide for those looking to have clear and authentic communication with others by using digital technology as a tool—but not the only tool. Smartphones and computers make everyday communication incredibly convenient. However, when used as an individual’s sole source of connection, it can make one forget real human contact and interaction are incredibly vital, thus causing unnecessary misunderstandings. Through personal stories and easily applicable practices, Renée Marino explains how to become a master communicator in personal and professional settings by knowing when to use digital technology and when to put the devices down to have a direct conversation.

Within these pages, you will learn how to:

Everything starts with communication, and when you can communicate confidently and honestly, you become unstoppable. That journey begins here.

Over several terrifying summers, deadly wildfires raged across Colorado. Lives were lost, and the flames destroyed thousands of homes. When the smoke cleared and only rubble remained, survivors were left trying to find a way forward against devastating loss. The aftermath of that destruction would span many years, and its effects are still felt today.

In "Phoenix Rising", twenty women share their stories of fire, the terror they felt as flames engulfed their communities, and the dark desperation that followed. And how---in the ensuing weeks and months---they worked to recreate a life from the ashes. Their tales of fear and bravery, of deep compassion and heart-rending grief, offer an uplifting chronicle of human courage and resilience.

In "Phoenix Rising" written by women united by wildfire, they have the privilege of stepping into those moments to stand in the hallways of their shock and fear, grief and disorientation, and then, armed with the wisdom of retrospection, walking out into whatever comes next.

Competition is tougher than ever these days and competing on price or product just doesn’t work as well anymore. So how can companies stand out in a crowded marketplace that is constantly evolving?

The answer is customer experience, and the best part about customer experience is that it’s delivered by human beings which are unique to a company. Named a Top Business Book of 2021 by Forbes, The Experience Maker helps managers and executives focus on customers who are already spending money with their company rather than spending more money on marketing new customers. In The Experience Maker, Dan Gingiss teaches that creating a remarkable experience for customers will ensure they become a company’s best marketers and salespeople. By learning from the successes of other companies and applying the proprietary WISER method (Witty, Immersive, Shareable, Extraordinary, Responsive), managers and executives learn to create remarkable experiences that their customers will want to talk about with friends, family, and social media followers.

Don’t Pull Your Sister’s Hair is the story of Sam Flood Jr.—the boy who didn’t speak until he was five has become a man who wants to tell stories for a living.

Sam Flood was born on January 1, 1994, two weeks late. Walking and running at ten months, he didn’t speak until age five. “From the outset, Sam seemed to have his own idea for how life should be,” writes his father in the opening chapter, in which Sam pieces together his memories with stories told by his family to describe what it was like for Sam to express himself, from pulling his sister Eliza’s hair to wandering to Häagen-Dazs at age three.

Sam’s inability to speak concerned his parents, who consulted doctors to figure out what was wrong. One specialist said Sam would never graduate from high school, let alone go to college. Turning to writing, reading, and his own sense of humor to cope with constant bullying for his differences, Sam proved them wrong, earning a BA from Mitchell College in Connecticut.

Any family can find hope in Sam’s story. Anyone who feels different, misunderstood, bullied, or unfairly treated in life can find light in the way Sam charted his course. This is a story of neurodiversity, but it’s not just for people dealing with ADHD, autism, or any other diagnostic label, because everyone has unique ways of thinking, processing, and behaving. 

Don’t Pull Your Sister’s Hair is about the moments where neurodiversity creates opportunity. It’s the story of what’s possible.

The way you show up in digital spaces communicates your brand—whether you intend it or not. 

With the ease of digital communication at anyone’s fingertips and many professionals transitioning to work-from-home, the way an individual communicates online is more important than ever before. Keynote speaker and communication coach Dr. Ali Atkison’s latest guide for personal success, How’s Your Computer-side Manner? explains how to blend one’s “in-person” self with their digital self, in order to put their best foot forward in an ever-changing digital landscape. 

Digital communication is an absolute necessity for today’s working professionals—especially for those who may never meet their colleagues in person due to the rise in remote-work opportunities. Dr. Ali Atkison believes that it’s time to end the false delineation between who someone is in-person versus who they are online. Too many proceed with mistaken assumptions about what shapes their communication style and their communication choices, and without the clarity of why we do what we do, it is difficult to make more well-informed decisions. 

How’s Your Computer-side Manner? explores the 9 common mistakes today’s professionals often make in their digital communications—and the negative consequences that can result from those mistakes, from being left off of projects and out of meetings, to being placed on performance-improvement plans, to losing respect and a sense of community with colleagues. Dr. Atkison explains how these mistakes can happen and their impact, while providing easy-to-employ strategies for mitigating these mistakes and improving online communication. 

A preponderance of evidence indicates the public is very unhappy with the US Congress. Fixing Congress is a behind-the-scenes look at how Congress really functions and why it doesn’t.  

This powerful resource educates and empowers engaged citizens who want to participate more fully in the process of self-government and regain more control over it.

Beginning with a closer look at members of Congress and their staff, as well as the structure, procedures, and culture, this groundwork gives citizens a greater understanding of Congress and the tools they need to make it better. It recounts the history of the institution, the intent of the Founding Fathers and the historical currents that have driven the country to its state of gridlocked government and suffocating polarization.

With the context set, Fixing Congress delves into special interest clout, questionable campaign financing, campaign abuses, partisan congressional district maps, ideological and partisan extremism, the role of parties, the overwhelming influence of the media, and the multitude of forces that make the average voter feel like a tiny cog in the gigantic wheel of governance.

This prolific resource provides numerous solutions that citizens can advocate in their communities and with their members of Congress. The final chapters propose reforms, strategies, and tactics to restore Congress to its intended purpose as a representative body. These proposals include redefining the distinctions between the Senate and House, reducing the size of congressional districts, limiting outside campaign financing, and urging the media to report objectively and with balance.

Is it possible to make Congress more productive, more accessible, and more answerable to the people? Yes. Fixing Congress is an essential part of the solution.

Tasha Y. Berry’s first memories are of painful hospital visits to treat a skin condition that left her back marked forever.

For most, these struggles would have defined them. Not Tasha. She took the struggles and turned them into her passions and purpose. With raw transparency and grit, Finding My Why chronicles Tasha’s rise from medical struggles and trials at home to finding her place in the world.

Hospitality fuels local economies, with dining out being a favorite activity of millions of Americans.

Enough with the Secrets, Mama! is the gripping tale, told by the daughter of a difficult yet self-empowered Matriarch, of a family who holds many secrets. 

The story follows Lin’s family as they journey from her mother’s origins in the Dominican Republic, to Puerto Rico, and throughout the east coast of the United States, to find their way in the country they’ve chosen to call home. 

Lin finds herself struggling to live a “normal” childhood, as she’s sandwiched between her drug-addled brother and free-spirited sister, both of whom demand much of their mother’s attention. As a survivor of child molestation, sexual, and emotional abuse, Lin yearns for a close relationship with her mother and tries to earn it by being the “good child.” But as life’s circumstances continue getting in the way, Lin fears that she will lose her grasp on the mother-daughter relationship.

The twists and turns in Lin’s own life motivate her to create a world that is worthy of her existence. Despite the rejection and trauma she’s endured along the way, she’s determined to break generational curses and set a new course for herself and her family. 

Enough with the Secrets, Mama! is written to women who are frustrated by self-perceived emotional neglect, who are looking to spare themselves the grief that comes with developing detrimental relational habits in life and are determined to carve out their own destiny.

After decades as trusted workplace leaders and organizational coaches, Dr. Tracy Christopherson and Michelle Troseth believe that the missing logic in leadership is a skill called Polarity Intelligence.

By applying these insights, polarity intelligent leaders will be able to uncover the deeply held beliefs, values, and biases that are inhibiting their own, their team, and their organization’s growth, speeding up organizational change and creating long-term success.

Through intimate profiles, Martin Fletcher’s Teachers details the struggles of everyday people in extraordinary circumstances—war, revolution, natural disasters and yes, life.

Do you sometimes feel like you’re just going through the motions in life? Do you often act like you’re fine when you secretly feel lonely and disconnected?

If so, you are not alone—and you may be suffering from emotional neglect.

A practicing psychologist for more than twenty years, Jonice Webb has successfully treated numerous patients who come to her believing that something is missing inside them. While many self-help books deal with what happened to you as a child, in Running on Empty, Webb addresses the things that may not have happened for you.

Networking.

For many people, the word conjures up images of stuffy events—shaking hands, making small talk, and exchanging business cards. To them, “networking” feels forced, awkward, even disingenuous.

We are more “connected” than ever—yet paradoxically lonelier and more isolated. The need for meaningful connection has never been more profound. Orchestrating Connection: How to Build Purposeful Community in a Tribal World is a call to action for anyone concerned about this fragmentation, offering a compelling vision of how to weave genuine relationships that foster belonging, collaboration, and collective impact. The future belongs not to accidental collections of neighbors or aggrieved online groups, but to communities built with intention, guiding principles, and a give-and-give attitude.

Orchestrating Connection doesn’t just provide a new way to think about our social world—it’s a how-to blueprint for creating the DNA to build it. Weaving together the key principles of diversity, vulnerability, curiosity, generosity, and gratitude, the authors describe how consistent rituals, explicitly communicated values and expectations, and a carefully crafted culture help solidify each community’s collective identity.

But the work of building your community—whether growing your own network or shaping a global movement—begins with personal clarity. You can’t effectively participate in or lead a community without first understanding your own purpose. The journey thus begins at the individual level: identifying what you stand for, what you truly need, and how you can leverage that deep understanding to draw others into conversation with you.

Ultimately, this book is an invitation to redefine community. Whether you’re an activist aiming to mobilize a grassroots initiative, an executive reshaping a company’s culture, or an individual seeking personal transformation, this book provides a roadmap for forging intentional, empathic communities.

Orchestrating Connection is therefore poised to spark a larger movement—one that can inspire and empower us to replace isolation with purpose and genuine belonging.

“In team sports, you may excel as an individual, but you only win as a tight knit group. That group, in essence, is a community because what you bring to the game, and how you act off the court, all informs that subtle dynamic of what makes a group champions. Orchestrating Connection systematically creates the rituals for self-work to develop self-worth, and for how we master our network to create teams that champion us as we champion them.”-Candace Parker, former WNBA forward, Sports Anchor, and Author

“Wow. I haven't been this inspired about the future of human connection since I read The Art of Gatheringby Priya Parker. The prose shifts easily between gripping stories and practical insights on human connection. Required reading for anyone who loves bringing people together.”-Andy Dunn, best-selling author of Burn Rate: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind and founding CEO of Pie and Bonobos

“My life has been about family, bringing children joy and strengthening communities, both as a business leader and philanthropist. Our world needs a new perspectives on how to bring passionate, driven leaders together and this book delivers them. The work one must do personally and with whom one surrounds oneself is crucial to create ethical, accountable standards for the evolution of our society. Orchestrating Connection takes what we know and puts it together in a way that can bring about a systemic change in perspective.”-Alan Hassenfeld, former Chairmen & CEO of Hasbro

“Leadership in philanthropy is fundamentally about gathering and empowering others to help. This is whatOrchestrating Connection is about: the crucial insight that surrounding yourself with the "right" people starts with you and resonates outward based on integrity and your principles, like the concentric rings around a pebble thrown into a pond. 

David Homan's work on the board of the Arthur Miller Foundation (AMF) has given us invaluable insights into how giving can be contagious, given the right strategies. I endorse the benefits of this book's guidance because I have seen them in action.”-Rebecca Miller, Filmmaker, Activist, and Philanthropist

Mark Bowling has had some incredible mentors - Cam Lanier and Regi Campbell top the list. Their impact on his life has been profound, for which he is extremely grateful. You probably have your own list. And chances are, you're on someone else’s. Gravitude provides you (and your organization) with the tools to grow that second list. 

Gratitude isn’t just a virtue - it’s a force that shapes the success of organizations. Gravitude reveals how leaders can harness this powerful force through six foundational pillars: Phileo Love, Trust, Teamwork, BHAGs (Big Hairy Audacious Goals), Legacy, and Identity. Just as gravity strengthens with mass, the presence of these pillars amplifies Gravitude—a measurable force that fosters engagement, loyalty, and organizational excellence.

Featuring exclusive insights from top executives - including Dave Katz (President & COO, Coca-Cola Consolidated), Glen Jackson (Co-Founder, Jackson Spalding), Tim Fisher (President, Jackson + Coker), Jeff Henderson (Executive Director, Leadership Strategy and Innovation, Chick-fil-A), Ben Tyson (CEO, No Longer Bound), and Horst Schulze (Co-Founder, Ritz-Carlton) - this book validates how gratitude transforms workplace culture.

Gravitude also distinguishes between fleeting thankfulness and deep, lasting gratitude, explaining why cultivating “grateful fans” leads to greater organizational success than simply creating “raving fans.” Finally, it introduces the Gravitude Quotient (GQ), a groundbreaking tool that enables leaders to measure and strengthen gratitude within their teams.

"I've often said gratitude completes the connection between an organization and its people. Mark Bowling successfully conveys this mission-critical message, empowering businesses to foster cultures of excellence. At the heart of such excellence - even in an age of automation - is the celebration of people. This is the essence of Gravitude - a much-needed call for organizations to prioritize their people, creating a thriving, purpose-driven workplace."-Horst Schulze, Co-Founder & Former President/CEO, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company

“Gravitude by Mark Bowling is a great read.   His insights about the power of gratitude can change the perspective of individuals, families, teams, and organizations.  Based on his own life experiences and the wisdom shared by multiple leaders he has interviewed, Mark shares both the principles and practices that make gratitude part of a healthy organization's DNA and lead to personal and professional growth for all.”-Tim Tassopoulos, former President & COO, Chick-fil-A

In this useful resource, motivation and guidance are provided to help individuals practice positive thinking, avoid and eliminate distractions, harness the power of habits and self-discipline, and maximize productivity and effectiveness.

In his own words, modern-day explorer Dr. Michael Manyak transports thrill seekers to the farthest reaches of the earth, from the dense forests of the Congo Basin to the icy expanses of Antarctica. 

While many may crave adventures around the globe, they are unlikely to experience anywhere near the many escapades that Dr. Michael Manyak has had during his prolific career. From his tropical medical training in the Philippines to his stints as the expedition doctor on hikes deep in the Andes and in a submersible to the Titanic wreck site, the author has made the combination of medicine and adventure the dominant theme throughout his life. 

His travels have taken him to nearly every continent, where he has encountered endangered and rare species, including camels, snakes, elephants, and more. He has operated on rhinos, rare big cats, gorillas, and even a huge boar hog. Some of his encounters were dangerous to himself and others. He orchestrated evacuations from battle zones in Iraq and was caught in a coup in a dangerous third-world country. He helped rescue nearly 100 victims from a sinking ship.

On occasion, Manyak has been afforded a ringside seat for historical events, and other times, he has been thrust into unusual circumstances by chance. He witnessed the Pentagon attack on 9/11. He managed the healthcare of high-ranking government officials in the United States and other countries. Along the way, he encounters quite a cast of characters, some of them household names and others better left in the dusty corners of history.

Legacy was written to simplify the process and accelerate people’s pursuit of a purposeful life filled with the satisfaction and impact their hearts are longing for.

Legacy makers aren’t born. They’re made.

It has been taught that legacies were meant for the rich, famous, world leaders, and innovators. However, after observing a relatively unknown man build a legacy that rivaled many of the most notable people in history, Marcum Davis came to understand that legacies are not reserved for the elite. In fact, they are attainable for people from all walks of life.

After years of study and practice, Marcum discovered a fundamental five-part formula that anyone can apply to their daily lives, known as the P.E.A.C.E. Legacy Formula, which he shares in the pages of Legacy.

Time management is a worn-out cliché that needs to be replaced. 

People manage their time, but they continue to manage it poorly. Life is populated with a series of reactive responses to personal priorities and professional needs. Individuals do not control their calendar; the calendar controls them.

Drawing from exclusive data captured by a tool called the Time Management Analysis (TMA), the book walks the reader through a comprehensive system that is easily adaptable to a particular personality or experience level. 

Using it as a complete time overhaul, The Time Optimized Life allows the reader the flexibility to create a time optimization plan that meets their essential needs. Operating with tools readily available to them today, the book will change perceptions of the individual and their approach to the use of their time, without having to invest in new gadgets or software.

Time is a commodity and resource that does not stop. It can’t be reversed, and you can’t go back and get more. Investing time reading and applying the content in The Time Optimized Life will help the reader make the future feel more infinite. 

Targeted and convicted by a broken justice system, Micheal Morisi was sent to prison for a crime that never even occurred—only to find Jesus in the “furnace” with him. 

It was Never About Justice is Michael Morisi’s story of the broken and corrupt the criminal justice system, and how to find Jesus in the deepest of pits. According to Morisi, anyone who seeks Christ will find him. He is always there, ready to walk with those who seek him.

Michael Morisi was charged with crimes that did not even happen and when he wanted to fight the charges, his Federal Public Defender told him: “Mike, you don’t understand. This case is not about truth, not about guilt or innocence and not about justice. You were targeted. And you either play the game, or this Prosecutor will make sure you go to prison for ten years for something you didn’t do. Just play the game and you’ll go home to your family, then write a book…you’ll make millions”

Sentenced to prison for a crime that never happened, Michael Morisi had a choice: be angry and let the injustice become his identity, or believe every word God said and seek His glory in one of the darkest places imaginable. Despite his eight months of prison—being locked up in a broken prison system, away from his young family—Morisi wouldn’t trade a minute, after all God did in and through him. Discover the truth of the Gospel and Morisi’s resilience in hardship in It was Never About Justice.

Limitless You helps those seeking to live fully become more self-aware of their emotions and thoughts, by identifying the tricks and traps of the mind and creating the life they deserve to live. 

Every person is born with a beautiful purpose for their lives; yet past experiences, societal expectations, and accumulated trauma leave many feeling unworthy and fearful of pursuing their passions. The tricks and traps of the brain can convince anyone to move through life with their heads down, eyes glazed, but according to Holly Wynn, human beings aren’t meant to go through the motions!

Too many interpret their inner voice saying, “I can’t live like this anymore,” as instruction to remove themselves from this life altogether, rather than an invitation to take steps toward meaningful changes to make life better. In the aftermath of COVID-19’s “new normal,” personal loss and tragedy are far too common, leaving individuals feeling trapped. In Limitless You, Holly Wynn encourages readers to take action, unlocking the door to their heart and embracing the purpose they were meant for.

Life in America has become fractured—in public and private—across ever-widening fault lines of anger and incivility. 

The intensity of disagreement between Americans threatens the nation’s well-being, presenting itself as disrespectful and distrusting in politics, culture, and conversations. Confusion, frustration, and hatred permeate politics, social media interactions, and cable news. The dysfunction and distrust also appear on the streets and at dinner tables.

There is an urgent need for Americans to come together. But how? Pollsters and political strategists Ed Goeas, Republican, and Celinda Lake, Democrat, have worked together on their groundbreaking joint Battleground Poll for more than thirty years and have a shared stethoscope to the pulse of the American public. In their highly respected and widely quoted Battleground Polls, they ask questions and elicit responses that tell us what people think and feel about the most pressing issues of the day. 

While they often use relevant poll results in this book to illustrate their arguments, A Question of Respect is not about polling—nor does it contain a magic antidote for America's woes. Instead, it’s a political resource that depicts a compelling case for how the nation reached this moment and, more importantly, where it needs to go and what it might take. Though Ed is a Republican and Celinda is a Democrat, they have reached across the great divide to make the case that the only way for America to claw its way out of this mess is through mutual respect. They posit that respect is the foundation upon which we can again trust one another as Americans.

Today’s firms need a social effort that is serious and impactful to be relevant. It’s not enough to make a commitment to reduce energy or have an ad hoc unbranded budget for grants and volunteering—the world needs their resources and agility to address existential threats in society, and their customers (and employees) demand it.

As an influential voice in branding and market connection, David Aaker examines how businesses can adapt their approaches for social betterment in, The Future of Purpose-Driven Branding: Signature Programs that Impact & Inspire Both Business and Society. According to Aaker, the future of branding demands that businesses: 

• Create a purpose and culture that nurtures social and environmental efforts
• Create signature programs to carry that message
• Build strong signature brands in part with five branding “Must Dos”
• Use the signature brands to advance a business to get their endorsement and access to their resources

The Future of Purpose-Driven Branding demonstrates how firms can create signature programs, build their brands, and use them to advance a business brand, in order to maintain relevance and connect with future consumers.

A story about hope and how every one of us can make a difference.

Unsheltered Love is a first-hand reported account of how the pandemic greatly exacerbated an already dire homelessness situation in New York City. 

In March 2020, the usually crowded streets of Midtown Manhattan were empty, stores were closing, people were afraid to go out. But homeless people were still on the streets, cold and very hungry, and much less able to panhandle in the deserted city. 

Unable to ignore their suffering, the author and her husband started walking the empty streets in their neighborhood, handing out food to the men and women they met. As they showed up, trust replaced the fear and suspicion that had existed within them, as well as within the homeless people they befriended. They listened as the homeless revealed their daily struggles living on the streets, as well as the details that had led to their homelessness. 

Unsheltered Love also provides an in depth look at one of the ten characters in the story—a homeless woman named Maggie Wright who adds her perspective to the narrative. Following each chapter is a journal entry written by Maggie—her viewpoint of the same events in the story, as well as an inside look at her personal journey into homelessness and her rise out of it. Her entries provide a look into the psychology of homelessness, what can lead a person to this fate, and more importantly, bind them to it. 

A “choose your own adventure” for personal growth! 

When most men are asked about their lives—peeling back the layers of church, sports, work, and hobbies to what matters to their core—they’ll likely admit that something’s missing. 

Sam Feeney reached a “good enough” level of living, with a great family, nice house, and good job, only to find that he was seeking something more. He shares his journey to find personal satisfaction and growth within Why Aren’t You Thriving?

Sam Feeney has identified 7 Core Areas where men have the opportunity to live more fully: Faith, Identity, Mission, Career, Health, Relationships, and Finances. His podcast, Made to Thrive, interviews men who are excelling in at least one of those areas, asking them 5 Big Questions: 

• Why aren’t more men thriving? What’s holding them back? 
• When weren’t you thriving? What changed? What keeps you thriving? 
• What does it look like to thrive? 
• What tools, resources, strategies do you recommend? 
• What encouragement do you have for men who want to thrive?

These interviews helped Sam realize the three main reasons men are not only dissatisfied with life, but missing out on the influence they could be having on the world around them. He invites men to join him in discovering how to thrive in all 7 Core Areas, by identifying which are holding them back, why, and how they can begin a virtuous cycle of improvement and impact.

“At a time when being pro-guy is pretty uncommon or even unpopular, this book not only assumes that men should be thriving as God created, but gives us a roadmap to do just that. I challenge you to ask yourself this tough question and use the tools in this book to build the exciting life God destined you to live!”-David Benham, best-selling author and nationally-acclaimed entrepreneur

“As an elite men's coach, I help Christian husbands, dads & business owners ‘blow up rocks’ in their heads, targeting the lies and false beliefs that are holding them back from really living. The Why Aren't You Thriving? assessment is a great first step to identifying the rocks that are keeping you from thriving in your life. If you want to thrive, read Sam's book now.”-Joseph Warren, Elite Men's Coach at BlowUpRocks.com and host of #1 podcast Broken Catholic

About Man and God and Law is the story of how Bob Dylan sparked a revolution of the spirit and why it matters today.

Many of our assumptions about empathy, sensual pleasure, and the essence of work, community, country, race, and the divine have germinated in Bob Dylan’s need to know what’s blowing in the wind and how it feels. Tracing his work and vision through themes that have shaped religious and cultural history for millennia, Stephen Daniel Arnoff uncovers how Bob Dylan has re-enchanted ancient questions of meaning and purpose throughout popular culture, inspiring a pantheon of prophetic musicians along the way.

Whether readers are Democrats, Republican, or Independent, My (Our) President Has Balls is sure to enlighten and provide fresh perspective on the State of the Union, encouraging all Americans to start thinking about how political opposites can meet in the middle and begin to pull America out of crisis mode.

Learn to overcome trauma, adversity, and struggle by unleashing the science of hope in your daily life with this inspiring and informative guide.

Hope is much more than wishful thinking. Science tells us that it is the most predictive indicator of well-being in a person’s life. Hope is measurable. It is malleable. And it changes lives. In Hope Rising, Casey Gwinn and Chan Hellman reveal the latest science of hope using nearly 2,000 published studies, including their own research. Based on their findings, they make an impassioned call for hope to be the focus not only of our personal lives, but of public policy for education, business, social services, and every part of society.

Hope Rising provides a roadmap to measure hope in your life. It teaches you to assess what may have robbed you of hope, and then provides strategies to let your hope flourish once again. The authors challenge every reader to be honest about their own struggles and end the cycle of shame and blame related to trauma, illness, and abuse. These are important first steps toward increasing your Hope score—and thriving because of it.

An AC4P culture can be fueled by AC4P Policing, and involves a paradigm shift regarding the role and impact of “consequences." With AC4P Policing, consequences are used to increase the quantity and improve the quality of desired behavior. Police officers are educated about the rationale behind using more positive than negative consequences to manage behavior, and then they are trained on how to deliver positive consequences in ways that help to cultivate interpersonal trust and AC4P behavior among police officers and the citizens they serve.

This teaching/learning process is founded on seven research-based lessons from psychology---the science of human experience. The first three lessons reflect the critical behavior-management fundamentals of positive reinforcement, observational learning, and behavior-based feedback. The subsequent four lessons are derived from humanism, but behaviorism or ABS is essential for bringing these humanistic principles to life. The result: humanistic behaviorism to enhance long-term positive relations between police officers and the citizens they serve, thereby preventing interpersonal conflict, violence, and harm.

Freedom and healing is the birthright of every believer. A shattered self-image, toxic relationships, and a painful past filled with betrayal seals people off from the abundant life Jesus promised.

There’s no need to live one more day limited by pain or disappointment. In Transformed, believers will discover

• How to experience healing in intimate conversations with God
• The roots of pain, failure, and broken relationships—and how to defeat them
• A proven step-by-step process for overcoming demonic strongholds and generational curses
• How to experience transformation rather than stagnation

In Transformed, pastor Tom Vermillion shares proven principles learned from two decades of ministering healing and freedom to hundreds of individuals.

The day after she buried her husband, Dr. Liz Fiedler Mergen found out she was pregnant and realized the hardest truth of all: Nobody was coming to save her.

Flowers Bloom Anyway isn’t a book about how to grieve the “right” way.

It’s about grieving messy, living loud, telling the truth even when it hurts, and planting beauty anyway.

When Liz became a widow overnight, grief didn’t come with a guidebook. It came with casseroles, silence, and unsolicited opinions. But through the loss, the loneliness, and the rumors, she kept going. She is raising her daughters, has rebuilt her life, and found glimpses of grace in dirt-covered hands and flower fields.

Part memoir, part rallying cry, Flowers Bloom Anyway is a real and redemptive story about unexpected loss, solo motherhood, rural grit, stubborn hope, and the kind of faith people don’t earn in a church pew but in the aftermath.

Ever wondered, How do I keep going when everything has changed? This is Liz’s answer—a story of heartbreak and healing, and how she turned loss into a thriving life and a million-dollar enterprise.

Diagnosed at birth with CMV (Cytomegalic Virus) causing him multiple profound disabilities, Jonny's arrival shattered expectations and sparked a soul-deep reckoning: What does it mean to be a loving mother when caretaking takes her on an unknown path?

In the golden light of her hometown in Napa Valley, where family and traditions run deep, Pam begins a journey that stretches far beyond the familiar and leads her on a trailblazing path that no one before her had sojourned.
