    From #1 international bestselling author, speaker, and humanitarian Dave Pelzer comes the next chapter in his life—how, after spending decades saving others in the military, as a fire captain, and an internationally acclaimed advocate, he needs to confront a way to save himself. 
 
On the surface, Dave Pelzer’s life seems like an action movie—he’s walked the red carpet with celebrities and stood shoulder to shoulder with soldiers in Iraq; he’s flown top-secret missions for the U.S. Air Force, obtaining the rank of chief, and battled wildfires in California as a volunteer fire captain.  
And now—on the eve of the 50-year anniversary of this rescue from horrific childhood of abuse and into the safety of the foster care system—he reflects on the battles he’s fighting in his own heart. From a lifetime spent serving and saving others, can he learn how to serve and save himself?  
 
Banished to his basement at age five, Dave Pelzer had cried a river of tears before most children learned to tie their shoes. His now classic books, A Child Called “It”and The Lost Boy, chronicled how he was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother: a mother who nearly  
killed him multiple times. But despite the odds stacked against him, he rose to become a #1 New York Times bestselling author, inspirational speaker, and internationally recognized humanitarian. 
 
After fighting for years to vanquish his pain and to channel it into service forothers, Pelzer sifts through the psychological rubbl e of a life that has seemingly crumbled around him. What he shares is deeply transformative and unflinchingly honest. In his struggle to simply survive, he never learned how  
to just be. Reeling from the loss of a love—and a broken spirit—Pelzer must reconcile his life choices and free himself of blame and shame to find peace and renewed purpose.  
 
Amidst the towering redwood trees and the serenity of his childhood utopia of the Russian River, Pelzer reflects on having the courage to move forward in your life, the peace to accept yourself, the vulnerability to strip yourself of facades, and to find the tenacity to carry on when life doesn’t turn out the  
way you planned. 
 
For anyone who has been hurt, victimized, or feels alone, there is hope and there is always a way to rewrite your own story. Pelzer’s soulful and inspiring story will remind you to keep your faith, live with gratitude, and find the well of resilience deep within you.

    Perhaps the greatest mythological tradition ever: "The Rich Heritage of Norse Mythology: Journey to Asgard: Discovering the Deities and Sagas of Norse Mythology." It offers the opportunity to really delve into that fabulous realm of Norse legend, where heroes, gods, and cosmic forces blur into a presentation of stories that have had enduring significance and breathtaking grandeur. 
The book begins with the backgrounds of existence in the primordial nothingness of Ginnungagap, set behind the unifying axes of the mighty Yggdrasil. The Norse universe is created and understood through the actions and fates of its gods Odin, Thor, Freyja, and Loki, who are the Æsir and Vanir. Learn these cosmic characters for their expressions of universal knowledge, love, chaos, and courage through telling and perceptive analyses. 
For instance, the book can prove its cultural and historical importance for such immortal stories by describing in bold legendary sagas, be they from Sigurd's chivalry to the horror cycles of the Völsunga saga. It does so even as it tries to probe at the horrific happenings of Ragnarök while revealing the cyclical dynamics of Norse cosmology characterized by destruction and renewal. 
This will provide readers with an appreciation of how the myths arose and what elements of them are actually valid, through the discussions of such cultural, historical, and spiritual contexts that defined these myths. In connoisseur or novice to Norse mythology, this richly detailed journey to Asgard is sure to captivate, educate, and inspire as the complex legacy of the legendary culture brings to life today.
