  How to Survive America

  ""Dispels the myth that people of color are somehow predisposed to poor health, blaming systemic injustice in the health care system."" —New York Times Book Review 
  Legendary comedian D.L. Hughley uses his ""hilarious yet soul-shaking"" (Black Enterprise) humor to confront racism's unjust impact on the health and wellbeing of Blacks and minorities  
  White people love survival guides. But have you noticed they’re always about ridiculous activities in locations far from home, with chapters like “How to Survive an Avalanche"" or ""How to Live on Bugs in the Jungle.” Huh?! 
  You know who really needs a survival guide? Black and brown Americans. For surviving their own damn country! Minority populations wake up every day in a battle for their health and safety. Thankfully, legendary activist-comedian D.L. Hughley offers How to Survive America, a fearless satire that exposes racism’s unjust toll on our bodies and minds. 
  Even before COVID-19 disproportionately impacted minority communities, life expectancy for Blacks was a full three years less than for white Americans. The very air we breathe is more polluted, our water is more contaminated, our local food options are toxic, and our jobs are underpaid. Despite the obvious need, the quality of our health care is tragically inadequate. Our communities are statistically less safe than the average, and yet we’re terrorized by the law-enforcement and criminal-justice systems that are supposed to protect us, sending Blacks to prison at five times the rate of whites. Not least, our means of addressing these injustices—voting—is perennially under assault. 
  It’s enough to drive you crazy. Well, guess what? According to Cigna, Blacks are 20 percent more likely to report “psychological distress” yet “50 percent less likely to receive counseling or mental health treatment.” It’s almost like the entire country has been structured with no regard for our welfare. Hmmm. 
  Whether you’re Black, white, brown, or Asian, don’t leave home without arming yourself with How to Survive America!

  Stop Negative Self-Talk: The...

  Understanding your inner critic is one thing.
   
  Responding to it in real life is another.
   
  You recognize the voice.
  You know it's the inner critic.
   
  And yet when it speaks—
  you still believe it.
   
  Stop Negative Self-Talk: The Practice of Self-Compassionate Action moves beyond understanding and into practical change.
   
  In this second audiobook of the series, Rowan E. Sages introduces clear, research-informed practices designed to help you respond differently when the inner critic appears.
   
  You will learn how to:
   
  • Recognize self-critical patterns in real time
  • Create psychological distance from the inner critic
  • Apply practical self-compassion techniques that actually work
  • Act despite self-doubt and internal criticism
  • Build long-term resilience against harsh self-judgment
   
  These practices are based on modern psychological research, including work on self-compassion, cognitive patterns, and behavioral change.
   
  The goal is not to silence the inner critic completely.
   
  The goal is something more realistic—and far more powerful.
   
  To hear the voice without being controlled by it.
  To act even when the critic is still talking.
  To build a life guided by self-trust rather than self-attack.
   
  This audiobook provides the practical tools to do exactly that.
   
  Together with Book 1, this two-part series offers both the understanding and the practices needed to transform your relationship with negative self-talk.

  Mind Over Magick - Making Magick...

  How do we know if magick is real? Wherever you find people, there are stories about magick. Some are myth or folklore, others are tales meant to thrill and intrigue us, and others still are accounts of actual magick, real spirits, and the energetic properties of our natural world. The question is whether or not any of it is true. Mind Over Magick by Tracy Nicholas tackles this complicated—and often personal—inquiry by picking apart what we know, what we don’t know, and what we can’t possibly know, leaving us with an evidence-based case for the existence of magick in our world. She demonstrates many instances:How the placebo effect shows us that we can heal our bodies with no mechanical interventionHow all living beings as well as the earth, stars, and planets have electromagnetic fields that interact on a regular basis and affect one anotherHow multiple animals and insects, such as the platypus or bees, can detect the energy around themThrough a mix of philosophy, science, and common sense, Mind Over Magick examines what we can infer about magick from what we already know to be true. Nicholas identifies the psychological need to believe in a magick that supernaturally fixes all of our problems without discounting the reality that magick is accessible to us all.

  Mudlark River - Down the Thames...

  The discovery of a Victorian map in a London antiques shop takes Simon Wilcox on a journey down the Thames: his mission a bit like that of those Victorian river scavengers, the mudlarks, to forage about on the shoreline for something of value. 
  The mudlarks found old coins, and objects washed up from ships anchored in the London docks. Tramping down the Thames Path, catching the occasional boat, Simon finds fragments of history lurking just below the surface of the modern waterway. 
  As the trip progresses from the river's source all the way to the sea, this history becomes more varied and colourful. Not only does Simon follow the life and times of the London cartographer who drew up the map - Edward Weller - but he also uncovers the stories of refugees and exiles washed up on the river banks over the centuries, and of drifters and conscripts heading in the other direction, leaving the river for foreign shores. In the process, he unearths a river that is both national and international, both local and global. 
  But can he track down something of true value? Flush out something like the casket of Oriental pearls the mudlarks always dreamt of finding? As the journey unfolds, the river begins to reveal its secrets.

  A Christian Perspective on the Joys of Reading 
   
   
   
  In today's technology-driven culture, reading has become a lost art. With smartphones offering information at the tap of a finger, reading a book is often seen as a tedious and outdated activity. Christians are not immune to this problem, as many find it hard to read books—even the Bible—consistently and attentively. Recovering the Lost Art of Reading addresses these timely issues by exploring the importance of reading generally as well as studying the Bible as literature, giving practical suggestions along the way. In this helpful guide, Leland Ryken and Glenda Faye Mathes encourage a new generation of readers to overcome the notion of reading as a duty and learn to see it as a delight.
