  The Road Map Every Student Needs for Life After Graduation 
  Graduation is coming fast—and suddenly everyone wants to know what you’re doing next. College? A job? The military? A trade? A gap year? If you’re feeling pressured, unsure, or as if you’re supposed to have everything figured out by now, here’s the truth: You’re not behind—and you’re not alone. 
   
  Big Steps!: Navigating Life After High School is a straight-talking guide for graduating seniors who want real answers—not lectures, clichés, or “just follow your passion” advice. This book helps you slow things down, see your options clearly, and make smart, confident decisions about what comes next. 
   
  Author Issac Lawrence Jr. draws on years of hands-on experience as a Marine Corps recruiter, college admissions recruiter, and mentor to thousands of teens. He’s spent his career having honest, real-world conversations with students who felt stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed by expectations. The result is a candid, relatable road map built on lived experience, real stories, and practical tools that help students explore college, careers, trade schools, military options, and the workforce. 
   
  This isn’t about telling you which path to choose. It’s about helping you recognize your strengths, ask better questions, and explore opportunities you may not even realize are on the table. Readers learn how to make decisions rooted in truth, purpose, and—for many—faith. 
   
  Inside, you’ll learn how to: 
  Recognize strengths and skills you already have. 
  Keep options open instead of closing doors too early. 
  Replace excuses with ownership. 
  Build decision-making skills. 
  Face fear, pressure, and the unknown with confidence. 
  Use practical tools to explore careers, colleges, trades, and military opportunities. 
   
  For parents, educators, counselors, and youth leaders, Big Steps! is a trustworthy resource that meets students where they are.

  Untangling The: Volume 2 - Essays

  Tiffany Chu

  Some griefs have names. Others don't. 
  There are five dates Tiffany Chu carries like stones in her chest. A best friendship that ended not with a fight, but with silence. A mother's apology that came thirty years too late. A faith dismantled by the very church that built it. 
  And underneath all of it: a son who existed for eighteen years, and then didn't. 
  The Untangling, Volume 2 is for everyone who has sat in the rubble of something they loved—a person, a belief, a relationship—and had to figure out what to do next. In essays that move from miscarriage to purity culture to the slow death of a grandmother who still asks have you eaten?, Tiffany writes with the kind of unflinching tenderness that makes you feel less alone at 2 a.m. 
  This is not a book that ties grief into a bow. It is a book that stays in the room with you. 
  For readers of The Year of Magical Thinking, When Breath Becomes Air, and Crying in H Mart—and for anyone who has ever loved someone they couldn't save.

  Inconvenient Apocalypse An -...

  Wes Jackson, Robert Jensen

  For decades, our world has understood that we are on the brink of an apocalypse—yet the only implemented solutions have been small and convenient, feel-good initiatives that avoid unpleasant truths about the root causes of our impending disaster. Wes Jackson and Robert Jensen argue that we must reconsider the origins of the consumption crisis and the challenges we face in creating a survivable future. Longstanding assumptions about economic growth and technological progress—the dream of a future of endless bounty—are no longer tenable. The climate crisis has already progressed beyond nondisruptive solutions. The end result will be apocalyptic; the only question now is how bad it will be. 
   
   
   
  Jackson and Jensen examine how geographic determinism shaped our past and led to today's social injustice, consumerist culture, and high-energy/high-technology dystopias. The solution requires addressing today's systemic failures and confronting human nature by recognizing the limits of our ability to predict how those failures will play out over time. Though these massive challenges can feel overwhelming, the coauthors weave a secular reading of theological concepts—the prophetic, the apocalyptic, a saving remnant, and grace—to chart a realistic path for humanity not only to survive our apocalypse but also to emerge with a renewed appreciation of the larger living world.

  Empire of Blood - The Rise and...

  December 2, 1993. A rooftop in Medellín. The most dangerous man on earth just ran out of places to hide. 
  By twenty-six, Pablo Escobar had already stolen headstones, run cigarettes, and laid the foundations of an empire that would make him richer than governments, more feared than armies, and — for a while — more loved in his own city than the state itself. 
  He bombed a passenger plane to kill one man. He put a country's Congress on his payroll. He built a private zoo, a private army, and a private war against a nation that didn't understand what it was facing until the bodies numbered in the thousands. 
  This is not the sanitized version. This is not the show. 
  Empire of Blood is the meticulously researched, unflinching true story behind the myth — the real timeline, the real players, the real cost — told as narrative nonfiction that reads like a thriller, because the truth never needed embellishing. 
  Inside, you'll discover:How a boy with no electricity at home became a $25 billion traffickerThe assassination that turned a smuggling operation into a war on the Colombian stateThe bombing of Avianca Flight 203 — and the candidate who was never on boardLife inside La Catedral, the "prison" Escobar built and ran like a resortThe still-disputed truth about who fired the fatal shot on that rooftopWhat became of his family — and why Medellín still can't agree if he was monster or saint 
  This book is for the reader who finished Narcos and wanted the parts Netflix left out. For true crime readers who want nonfiction that hits as hard as fiction — without a single invented quote. 
  Some empires fall in a day. This one took a decade — and the country it nearly destroyed is still adding up the cost.
