Breaking Open - How Your Pain...

Jacob Armstrong

Read by the author.
In a broken world, we ache for a way to walk through life without giving up or giving in. Instead of breaking down, Jesus offers us another way: breaking open. Discover a new way of living and rise with hope, power, and purpose!
Everyone aches to be whole. We ache to be healed. We ache to be restored. But most of the time we wouldn’t put it into words. We just know we are broken because our child is addicted. We ache because the depression of our youth is now the depression of our golden years. We are stretched to the point of breaking because our career ambitions position us to commit to a pace we can’t sustain. Miscarriage, divorce, loneliness. In all of it, we ache.
In Breaking Open, Pastor Jacob Armstrong exposes the seven dangerous ways that we commonly seek to avoid a breakdown, showing how these seven ways are stealing life from us, and then walks us through a progression of seven Jesus-ways that move us from merely breaking to breaking open. It is these Jesus-ways that get us to the good stuff: a life filled with hope and opportunity.
In Breaking Open, you discover how your greatest heartaches can open you up to the life God desires for you,learn how to slow down from a frenzied pace and settle into the spacious life you have been longing for right now,stop living a cheap imitation of life and develop trust in who God says you are,receive permission not to have it all together by finding the power to love and live vulnerably, andfind the courage to name the achy undercurrent in your soul so you can break it wide open and let Jesus heal you and make you whole.
Jesus never intended for us to break and stay shattered, but to fall and rise differently. To rise with power, rise with hope, rise with purpose. In Breaking Open, learn to rise open to a new way of living!

The Way of Kings - Ancient...

Nathan Clarkson

Today's man is in an identity crisis. With a never-ending barrage of confusing, condescending, and condemning voices telling him who he is and who he isn't, it can feel impossible to discover who he was made to be. Men were made to be kings, to protect the light, fight the darkness, and rule well the domain God has given them. But to be a good king, men must act in the likeness of the King. 
 
 
 
Drawing on the ancient tradition of an older and wiser ruler passing on his wisdom, like Solomon in the book of Proverbs, Nathan Clarkson offers young men forty short and to-the-point letters for the journey. Packed with practical, biblically based advice on real-life issues, this book helps men base their identity not in who the world says they should be but in who their King says they can be. 
 
 
 
For the modern man looking to live out a greater story, The Way of Kings offers ancient wisdom rooted in sacred Scripture to help him discover who he was created to be.

Interviewology - The New Science...

Anna Papalia

“A must-read for seasoned and new managers alike.” —Johnny C. Taylor Jr., SHRM-SCP, CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)
A groundbreaking guide to mastering the job interview, offering proven advice and techniques to discover your unique interview style that is key to interviewing better—for those on either side of the table.
Conventional interviewing advice doesn’t work. That’s what Anna Papalia learned through years of experience as an HR professional, consultant for Fortune 500 companies, and teacher at the Fox School of Business. None of the existing tools work for one simple reason: they don’t get to the heart of what actually makes a great interview—self-awareness. At its core, an interview is a set of questions about you. If you don’t know yourself, you won’t do well.
Determined to make the process better, more inclusive, and less obscure, Anna spent years researching how people interview and uncovered a new science to interviewing, rooted in the finding that there are four main styles people exhibit in an interview: you can be a Charmer, a Challenger, an Examiner, or a Harmonizer. Your style influences how you view and approach interviews, and ultimately how you perform in them. In Interviewology, Anna teaches you how to identify your individual style (and that of who you are interviewing with) and offers pragmatic tips for using this knowledge to nail your next interview.
Packed with wisdom, Interviewology offers clarity and a dynamic, scientifically validated approach that challenges everything you thought you knew about interviewing, providing unique insight into the process, debunking some of the most common myths, and explaining how you can perform better, whether you’re applying for the job or looking for the right candidate.
Going beyond generic advice that isn’t useful in the real world—such as memorizing rote answers or strict guidelines—Interviewology is a revolutionary approach that focuses on self-awareness—and how to develop it—to help everyone master their own unique interview style. It’s about the power of knowing yourself and how that insight can lead to a more successful career and life.

Veggie Smarts - A Doctor and...

M.D. Michael T. Compton

A nerdy farmer—and doctor with expertise in nutrition—provides insight into how best to prepare and savor vegetables while recounting his journey in building an organic vegetable farm and discovering the family that farmed the same land some 200 years ago. 
  
Dr. Michael Compton shares his passionate approach to savoring vegetables daily from across eight plant families: the Brassicas, the Alliums, the Legumes, the Chenopods, the Aster Greens, the Umbellifers, the Cucurbits, and the Nightshades. Trading in city life for an old stone house and a fertile field in the scenic and historic Hudson Valley, New York, Compton built a compact, organic-certified vegetable, fruit, and flower farm. Sharing the joy and proud successes—like selling piles of gorgeous rainbow chard at the farmers market—as well as funny personal admissions—like failing at spinach every year and crying over stolen cabbage—you will discover the nutritive properties of numerous vegetables and be inspired to savor them as Compton does. In building his farm, Compton uncovered who farmed his fertile land long before him, coming to feel kinship with the Delamater family by understanding how they farmed and ate some 200 years ago. 
  
As a doctor of lifestyle medicine, prevention, and psychiatry, Compton shares lighthearted scientific facts, including why onions make us cry and beets can make our pee pink, while giving nutritional facts and “Free Health Advice.” And as a farmer, he recounts his delights in growing a bounty of clean, delicious, and nutritious food for himself and others. You might even find yourself wanting to test the greenness of your thumbs or determining whether or not you, too, are a natural-born berry picker.
