Should This Life Sometime...

Alexander Puschkin

Should This Life Sometime Deceive You by Alexander Pushkin is a brief but enduring meditation on disappointment, patience, and the changing nature of life. 
Written in the form of gentle advice to someone facing hardship, the poem reminds us that sorrow and frustration are not permanent. Pushkin urges the reader to meet difficult moments without bitterness, trusting that time can alter circumstances and that happiness may return when least expected. 
Simple, direct, and quietly philosophical, the poem explores a timeless question: how should we respond when life does not unfold as we hoped? 
Rather than promising that suffering can be avoided, Pushkin offers a more resilient perspective—accept the difficult moment, remain patient, and allow life to change. 
A concise classic of Russian poetry, Should This Life Sometime Deceive You is a thoughtful reflection on patience, resilience, and maintaining perspective through adversity.

Bob Hope - A Life from Beginning...

Hourly History

Bob Hope was the kind of entertainer who only comes along once in a lifetime. Spanning the decades, he worked through just about every era of the twentieth century. Hope grew up doing his best vaudeville routine and ended up performing far and wide with the USO during World War II and the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon, Iran, and Iraq. In later life, he slowed down a bit, but he still found time to perform both in movies and in person. When he felt that certain patriotic call of duty once again during the Gulf War of the 1990s, he did not hesitate to hop aboard the USO bandwagon once again.
 
Bob Hope lived to be 100 years old before his globe-trotting finally came to an end in 2003. This book takes a look at the life and legend of Bob Hope—the king of comedy—from beginning to end.

One Body: A Retrospective

Catherine Simpson

Nominated in Scotland’s National Book Awards 
In this searing, frank and funny memoir, Catherine Simpson describes what it’s been like to live in her woman’s body, and to reach the realisation that all that time she’d spent trying to change her body to conform - often to unattainable standards - could be seen from a completely different perspective. 
By the time she reached her fifties, Catherine Simpson and her body had gone through a lot together—from period pain and early menopause to shaming and harassment. But there had been success, joy, love, and laughter too: far more freedoms than her mother had, a fulfilling family life and career, and even the promise of further gains for her daughters. 
So when a cancer diagnosis upends her life, Catherine is forced to reflect on her body, then and now. From growing up on a farm where veterinarians were more common than doctors, and where illness was “a nuisance,” she finds herself faced with the nuisance of a lifetime. 
One Body is the demystifying, relatable, often hilarious and sometimes hair-raising story of how Catherine navigates her treatment and takes stock of the emotions and reflections it provokes. And how she comes to appreciate the skin she is in—to be grateful for her body and all that it does and is.

Loss Adjustment

Linda Collins

“I have had nothing bad happen to me except my own doing. I have let this cowardice envelop me, and I can’t shake it off. I will commit the worst thing you can ever do to someone who loves you: killing yourself. The scary thing is, I’m okay with that.” —Victoria McLeod, Singapore, March 30, 2014 
 
Loss Adjustment is a mother’s recount of her 17-year-old daughter’s suicide. 
 
In the wake of Victoria McLeod’s passing, she left behind a remarkable journal in her laptop of the final four months of her life. Linda Collins, her mother, has woven these into her memoir, which is at once cohesive, yet fragmented, reflecting a survivor's state of mind after devastating loss. 
 
Loss Adjustment involves the endless whys, the journey of Linda Collins and her husband in honouring Victoria, and the impossible question of what drove their daughter to this irretrievable act. A stunningly intimate portrait of loss and grief, Loss Adjustment is a breaking of silence—a book whose face society cannot turn away from.

Goodness of God The: The Eternal...

Jessie Raum

Surprisingly, I found God through some bad things when I was little. He knew what my battles would be and that I’d need an unshakeable faith, so He made Himself known to me when I was young. I don’t think I even understood the miracles, but I knew He was real, so I had two options - not serve a God I knew was real or serve Him faithfully.
God gets all the glory. I couldn’t do this on my own. Every day I walked through the fire, I did it not by my own might. God made a path through the wilderness. There’s nothing I could accomplish without God. It’s not my legacy; it’s His. I’m not the main character; just a puzzle piece in the bigger picture - a life willing to be laid down. But I couldn’t keep the goodness of God to myself. In the end, I hope you find Him as you read my story. I hope you see His goodness through the darkness. That we may know our God, and see Him, and the only thing I strive for is to know Him and make Him known.
Only through faith could I forgive and see that those who contributed to my trauma were experiencing their own. They were victims too. That’s when I decided I wasn’t going to be a victim, but a survivor. That journey started with forgiveness.
Maybe the magic is just the sharing of faith and Jesus. He trusted us with our testimony because He knew we would share His faithfulness! We need to love and forgive as freely as Jesus has loved and forgiven us!
“‘And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.’” Ezekiel 36:26-27
God doesn’t just change some parts of you; He makes you entirely new! He gives you a new heart that is after Him. He transforms you. He puts His very own Spirit within you, empowering you to live a righteous and holy life. By His Spirit, you are equipped to succeed and become victorious in every area of your
