  Is there a silver lining to growing up in a dysfunctional family? Twenty-four survivors recount their stories—and the strengths forged in the chaos. 
   
  Living in a dysfunctional family isn’t easy. But while you can’t choose where you come from, you can choose the lessons you take away. 
   
  Bestselling recovery author Karen Casey looks at stories of people who grew up in dysfunctional families and “the good stuff” that can, ironically, come from the experience. She interviews survivors who emerged from the fires of turbulent households affected by abuse, addiction, or other problems, and reveals how they came to process their often-harrowing personal trials and, against the odds, triumph over their difficulties—using skills they honed in response to their childhoods. In The Good Stuff from Growing Up in a Dysfunctional Family, Casey reveals the stories and the skills they developed to live more creative and fulfilling lives, and not just survive but thrive. 
   
  “Using her interviews as groundwork, she explores the benefits that result from surviving in a dysfunctional family, including resiliency, perseverance, a sense of humor, forgiveness, kindness, and the ability to discern real love.” —Publishers Weekly 
   
  “You just can’t go wrong with Karen Casey.” —Earnie Larson, author of Stage II Recovery

  The bestselling author of Seven Seas, Nine Lives continues the remarkable experiences of Captain A.W.F. “Alfie” Sutton during the Second World War. Written in three parts, this book follows the harrowing adventures of Captain A.W.F. “Alfie” Sutton, CBE, DSC and bar, RN. During events which come as close to fiction as is imaginable, the first part describes how Alfie, badly injured and close to death during the bombing of HMS Illustrious by the Luftwaffe in January 1941, wakes to find himself laid out among the dead, but miraculously still able to help the ship on to Malta. After full recovery, part two starts with his involvement in the Allied campaign in Greece in the spring of 1941, leading to him eventually evacuating the Greek royal family in a flying boat. After numerous escapades he fights with the defenders during the German invasion of Crete in 1941. Admiral Cunningham was later to describe Sutton’s efforts as “an example of grand personal courage under the worst possible conditions which stands out brightly in the gloom.” It was a struggle doomed to failure, but Alfie survived to continue his war and tell his story to author Richard Pike who relates it here with passion, pace and drama.

  Buy now to get the main key ideas from Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Deus 
    
  In Homo Deus (2015), Yuval Noah Harari examines new and futuristic approaches to human evolution and explores what might occur once old myths combine with superhuman technologies. He also discusses the threats that liberalism will encounter in the near future and suggests a greater cosmic plan, giving a brief glimpse of what the future might look like in the light of technology. The techno-religion of Dataism will ultimately replace traditional religions by creating Homo deus, a new human entity that will supersede Homo sapiens. Although humanity’s time on Earth has shaped all aspects of life and nature, it is now time for biology, alongside technology, to decide the future.  
  Harari aims to raise three key issues about this future: Is life really just data processing? Which is more valuable, intelligence or consciousness? What will happen if our algorithms know us better than we know ourselves?

  SHARIA LAW FOR NON-MUSLIMS 
  SHARIA LAW FOR NON-MUSLIMS is an introduction to Islamic Sharia law and gives the reader a taste of Islam.  This book makes an effective tool to educate politicians, legal authorities and public officials. Islam is a religion, a culture and a political system. The political system has its own body of laws, called the Sharia, which is derived from the Koran, the Sira (Mohammed’s biography) and the Hadith (Mohammed’s traditions).  The Sharia is Allah’s law and is considered superior to all other man-made laws.  Many Sharia laws concern non-Muslims and how they are to be treated. Every demand that Muslims make is based on the idea of implementing Sharia law in our countries.What does Sharia law mean for non-Muslims? What are the long-term effects of granting Muslims the right to practice Sharia laws that conflict with ours? How can any political or legal authority make decisions about Sharia law if they do not know what it is?The answers to all of these questions are found in SHARIA LAW FOR NON-MUSLIMS.
