  Christian Encounters, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church. Some are familiar faces. Others are unexpected guests. But all, through their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires, uniquely illuminate our shared experience 
    
  When she arrived in the New World at eighteen, Anne Bradstreet was a reluctant passenger: 
  her old, comfortable lifestyle in England was quickly dashed against the rocks of the Massachusetts 
  Bay. While the wilderness of America and the drama of establishing the Massachusetts Bay Colony at times overwhelmed her, she always took refuge in the belief that it was God’s plan.  Anne respected the Puritan teachings and followed them her entire life, always searching for God’s hand in everything around her. But she also was inspired by a strong female leader of the day, Queen Elizabeth, and 
  this influence taught Anne to push herself beyond the day’s limitations. She managed her home, educated her children, encouraged her husband, and sought her Lord—all with a poet’s heart.

  The real guide to pregnancy, birth and beyond. 
  I’m assuming you’ve picked up this book because you’re either curious about having kids, you’re currently up the duff, or you’re stumbling through the early days of parenthood with a mattress-sized sanitary towel between your legs wondering what the hell has just happened. That, or you’re killing time in WHSmith, waiting for your flight to Ibiza. You lucky bastard. 
  Either way, this book is your pregnancy, birth and postpartum BFF. 
  Welcome to Motherhood, Bitches is your one-stop, no-filter guide to everything from swollen vulvas and dinner-plate areolas; from shitting in labour to the horror of postpartum haemorrhoids; from mindless sleep deprivation to salvaging a sex life when your pelvic floor has hit the floor. But mainly, it’s a reassuring reminder that feeling slightly (or shockingly) out of control with a newborn baby human is entirely normal…we promise. 
  Victoria Emes, in her best-selling autobiography, shares her experiences of childbirth, parenting, and the impact on her marriage. With humour and care, she navigates the reader through the realities of family life and the importance of maintaining health and fitness.

  WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF ME 
  (Is none of my business) 
  Everyone who has ever walked the face of the earth has at one point felt unworthy, unloved, uninspired, lost, hurt, overwhelmed, angry, scared or frustrated. 
  What if you no longer had to feel this way? 
  What if you could create the life you wanted? 
  What if the words and actions of others had no influence over how you felt? 
  Wouldn’t suicide rates decrease and domestic violence be less of a scourge on society? 
  Nothing in your life is your fault; but everything is your responsibility. 
  Would you hand the controls of a plane over to someone less qualified than you? Then why let other people control how you feel? 
  ---------- 
  Through reading over 900 books on personal development and working with experts like Tony Robbins & Dr John Demartini, J.D Moorea (Dan Shearin) discovered a simple yet effective way to overcome almost any challenge that life threw at him. 
  From seeing himself as a victim of suicide, a co-creator of volatile relationships and being publicly defamed, then wrongly charged with murder, J.D has since found peace and happiness in all areas of his life. He now wants to share his learnings with those who may have lost their way, or feel unsatisfied with their life. 
  If you have ever contemplated suicide, been in a violent relationship, felt unworthy, been bullied, harassed or discriminated against; then this book is for you.
