Summary

Journey into the heart of Native American thought and discover a world where circularity, interconnectedness, and resilience reign supreme. This captivating book delves into the depths of Native American history, culture, and spirituality, offering a unique perspective on the world that challenges our linear and structured thinking.

Through the eyes of Native American elders, storytellers, and activists, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by Native communities throughout history, from the devastation of colonialism to the ongoing struggle for recognition and justice. Yet, amidst these challenges, Native American cultures have endured and thrived, maintaining a deep connection to their traditions, their land, and their ancestors.

This book celebrates the strength and resilience of Native American communities, highlighting their valuable contributions to society. From their profound wisdom and teachings to their beautiful art and music, Native Americans have enriched the world in countless ways. Through personal stories, historical accounts, and insightful analysis, this book bridges the gap between Native and non-Native communities, fostering greater understanding and appreciation for the enduring spirit of Native America.

Readers will discover the interconnectedness of all living things, the sacredness of the land, and the importance of community in Native American thought. They will learn about the power of ceremony, the resilience of the human spirit, and the urgent need for environmental stewardship. This book is an invitation to embrace a different way of seeing and being in the world, one that is guided by respect, compassion, and harmony with the natural world.

Written with empathy and respect, this book is not just a work of history or anthropology; it is a call to action. It challenges readers to stand in solidarity with Native American communities and to work towards a more just and equitable future for all. As we journey through these pages, may we all be inspired to walk a path of greater understanding, compassion, and respect for the land and its original stewards.

    "A Christ-Centered Path to Wholeness" is an audiobook that offers a comprehensive, faith-based approach to achieving freedom from eating disorders. Grounded in biblical truth and sound psychology, it addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of conditions like anorexia and bulimia. 
The audiobook begins by providing a clear understanding of eating disorders, including medical definitions, warning signs, underlying neurological factors, and the vicious cycle sufferers often face. It then delves into the root causes, exploring how trauma, family dynamics, cultural pressures, and spiritual warfare contribute to disordered eating. 
With this foundation laid, the audiobook presents God's perspective on the body, identity, and mental health. Listeners learn to see themselves as God's beloved creation while engaging in the battle for the mind.  
The journey to freedom is mapped out through practical strategies like healthy eating plans, emotional regulation techniques, and the development of new habits. These tools are undergirded by spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, and forgiveness. 
Listeners are encouraged to find healing in community through the support of the church, Christian counseling, accountability partnerships, and ministering to others. Inspiring testimonies of those who have overcome eating disorders offer hope to all. 
The audiobook concludes with an implementation guide, including a personal assessment, action plan template, Scripture meditations, and a list of helpful resources. Ultimately, listeners are pointed back to their identity in Christ as the key to lasting wholeness and freedom. 
Whether you are personally struggling with an eating disorder or seeking to support a loved one, "A Christ-Centered Path to Wholeness" is an invaluable resource filled with biblical wisdom, clinical insights, and practical tools for the recovery journey.

    A deeply personal exploration of childless and childfree women in their own words. 
 
 
 
Others Like Me is the story of fourteen women around the world, from different walks of life, who don't have children. It's also the story of why Nicole Louie had to find these women and what they taught her. Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations, this book showcases the many ways in which people find fulfillment outside of parenthood. And because the social expectation to procreate weighs the most on women, Louie focuses solely on them, their experiences, and how they flourish outside of motherhood. In doing so, she upends the stereotypes that diminish women who are childless by choice, circumstance, or ambivalence and offers reassurance and companionship on a path less known.

    Apologise… Hell, No! The Power of an Apology in an Entitled World is a visceral read that explores the ups and down of the apology in a world that's forgetting how to say sorry and mean it. Combining personal memoir, along with some practical advice this book is rich in its openness and evocative enough to challenge, assist and uplift you as it takes both a light-hearted and serious look at the different uses of the apology spanning stoic philosophers, Stick Man, #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, narcissism, entitlement, slavery and WW1 to name but a few. 
"A deeply personal yet systematic approach to the delicate art of apologizing." — Kirkus Reviews 
 "Unflinching honesty that has translated into something rich and evocative." — Sara Starbuck
