Sinopse

When Brian Dowling and Arthur Gourounlian announced they were expecting their first child, with Brian's sister Aoife acting as their surrogate, it felt like their family dream was finally coming true. Their daughter, Blake, was born in September 2022, but their happily-ever-after has not been without its troubles.
Now Brian and Arthur detail their crazy journeys and the sliding-doors moments that brought them together to create a family of their own. Following Arthur's journey to escape war-torn Armenia and Brian's path to self-acceptance after being catapulted into the spotlight as a young gay man in the early noughties, and the sudden death of his mother, this is a story of the pain that life can sometimes bring, but ultimately it is a story about love in all its many magical forms.
From births to marriages to deaths, and everything in between, this heartfelt memoir brings Arthur and Brian's positive and inspiring attitude to the page.

A spiritual and poetic journey across cultures, languages, and inner landscapes. 
Persiansk is a heartfelt collection of poems inspired by Persian mysticism and touched by Nordic clarity. Blending the soul of ancient Iran with echoes of Danish Asatro, these poems explore themes of identity, exile, belonging, and spiritual awakening. 
The title—Persiansk—symbolizes this fusion: part Persian, part dansk (Danish), reflecting the poet’s life across two worlds. Through lyrical language and emotional depth, Ramin Taheri invites readers to pause, reflect, and rediscover the sacred in the ordinary. 
“This book is a mirror. It will reflect you.” 
For readers drawn to spiritual poetry, cross-cultural reflection, or the quiet beauty of the in-between, Persiansk is an offering of light from the space between worlds.

War orphan Jackson TerKeurst’s remarkable story of adoption and faith teaches us to notice God’s presence in our lives so we can look toward the future with hope. 
  
The son of a town chief. The grandson of a witch doctor. An orphan, a war statistic, a nameless boy trying to survive gunfire and starvation during the Liberian Civil War. Jackson TerKeurst used to find his identity in scarcity and trauma. Today he finds it in knowing he is a child of God.  
  
Jackson came to America as a teenager with little education, was adopted by a Christian family, and then graduated college and started his own business. His incredible story has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Network and the Today Show. Now, for the first time, Jackson shares his spiritual journey against the backdrop of his biography as he calls us to see how God can redeem the pain in our own lives. 
  
The Only Way Forward Is Back is a riveting account of perseverance, sacrificial love, and transformative grace. It invites us to view our personal stories through the lens of a literal and spiritual orphan who learned to hold fast to his identity as God’s beloved child—and inspires each one of us to do the same. 
Features bonus material not included in the printed book, including an interview with Jackson and Amanda TerKeurst.
