The Secure Soul - Finding Inner...

Dr Alison Cook

A secure soul is built from the inside out. This book will guide you through the inner work of restoring your own sense of safety and trust—anchored in God's unshakable love—so that your foundation for all other connections becomes steady and strong. From this place, you can approach every relationship, every loss, and every new beginning with confidence. Even when trust has been broken externally, it can still be anchored securely within.
The ache of disconnection isn't only about feeling unseen by a parent, distant from a partner, or excluded by a friend. It's not just a byproduct of busy lives or too many notifications. It runs deeper. It's a spiritual ache that reminds us: we long for a connection that reaches beneath our defenses and restores us from the inside out.
Attachment isn't just something that happens between people—it's something that also happens within yourself. The same dynamics of fear and safety, pursuit and withdrawal, need and shame, get played out inside your own inner world.
When we begin to notice, tend, and nourish that inner ecosystem—gently, patiently, and in the presence of something greater than ourselves—we begin to re-cultivate something sacred: A home within ourselves. A secure base from the inside out. And a connectedness with God.
In The Secure Soul, Dr. Cook shows you how to:practice the ongoing rhythm of connection through learning how to recognize distance and be equipped to reconnect to the center of loving presence.recognize—the moment when you've shifted out of connection into anxiety, overwhelmedness, fear, distance, or shut down.return—to the sacred center within, to God's presence, to Love itself.identify the controller, shadow, and younger parts of yourself that make up the landscape of your soul.cultivate an inner sense of belonging and connectedness by diagnosing where you have become disconnected from your own soul.
Dr. Cook paints an intimate picture of what secure attachment can look like in your real life—not as a psychological label, but as an intimate invitation that is alive in every relationship, every silence, every longing, always unfolding in every moment you're alive. And it starts not only in the space between us, but deep inside your own soul.

Women in War - A Gripping...

David Yuzuk

"In the shadows of history's greatest conflicts, women have always been warriors—yet their stories remain untold. Women in War uncovers over twenty raw, true accounts of the fearless women who fought and served, from ancient battlefields to the jungles of Vietnam and the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Step into their combat boots: nurses dodging gunfire, spies sabotaging enemies, soldiers enduring unimaginable loss. Facing sexism, trauma, and overwhelming odds, these heroines reveal that true valor beats in the heart, not just on the battlefield.
Brought to life through meticulous research and exclusive firsthand interviews by retired police officer and acclaimed author David Yuzuk, this intimate collection honors the unbreakable spirit of military women. Narrated by Julia Whelan, the voice behind the New York Times bestseller The Women by Kristin Hannah, it's a profound tribute to the unsung forces who shaped our world."
“Gripping stories of female heroism that will awe and inspire.”
—NY Times bestselling author Ralph Pezzullo
“I thought I was going to die that day! The Viet Cong launched a brutal attack, and the explosion hit like a freight train, its deafening roar slamming into my ears just seconds before the shockwave hurled us off our feet, Doors were ripped from their hinges, and windows were shattered into a thousand pieces.
“The pandemonium jolted me back to reality. I grabbed my flak jacket and sprinted to the Intensive Care Unit. Were the enemy already inside our perimeter, AK-47s in hand, bayonets fixed? It didn’t matter. My mission was clear — Protect the soldiers in my care. They came first, no matter what.” —67th Evac Nurse Ginny Dornheggen
