  The inspirational and honest first book from S Club legend Rachel Stevens 
  Whether as part of the iconic S Club or as a successful solo artist, Rachel Stevens was in the eye of the Noughties pop storm when she was catapulted to fame in her teens. The whirlwind of celebrity life brought glamour, glitz and BRITs, but not everything was as it seemed behind the smile. 
  Constantly stereotyped and controlled within the industry, Rachel privately struggled with her self-worth and mental health, but has since been on a journey of development and growth. Following a personal break-up and an S Club reunion – and after finding her voice and a new sense of confidence – Rachel is ready to open up for the very first time, covering everything from the impact of her childhood experiences to managing lifelong anxiety. 
  Finding My Voice is Rachel’s inspiring, unfiltered story about discovering her true self in a manufactured world. 
  In Finding My Voice, Rachel Stevens, a famous icon in the entertainment industry, shares her journey of self-discovery. Through various performing arts and genres, she finds her vocal style and embraces self-help, ultimately finding her true self amidst the glitz and glamour of fame.

  We are all one. 
  The Declaration of Independence is in reality a Declaration of Interdependence based on human equality, the foundation of democracy whereby we have our inalienable rights. The way to destroy a democracy is to practice rampant inequality. Appreciating and celebrating our interdependence enables us to honor equality and preserve our democracy. 
  Part I - includes 16 "real Life" stories about personal experiences of inequality (racial, gender, religious, ethnic, social and financial prejudices). Each story is followed by comments and questions from a rearview mirror. What are the causes of inequality? What could bring better outcomes? What must we do to prevent divisiveness and future squandering of human talents? 
  Part II - is about manifesting equality, using four basic principles identified by Professor Walter Capps from the Danish philosopher N.F.S: Grundtvig, founder of folk schools. The principles are accessible to people of all ethnic and religious backgrounds. Following these principles leads to empowerment, living more fully, freely and happily as illustrated in folk schools throughout the world, including major contributions to civil rights in the United States. 
  Part III - A new approach, Prose Poetry, explores equality, interdependence, independence and truth.

  Martin Luther - The Famous...

  Martin Luther was a German theologian, priest, author, composer, and previous Augustinian monk who is best recalled as a key figure in the Protestant Reformation and the creator of Lutheranism. 
  In the year 1507, Luther was ordained as a priest. He came to oppose certain Roman Catholic Church theories and practices, specifically the perspective on extravagances. In his Ninety-five Theses of 1517, Luther advised a scholastic evaluation of the practice and effectiveness of extravagances. His rejection to disavow all of his publications at the demand of Pope Leo X in the year 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet Plan of Worms in the year 1521 culminated in the pope's excommunication and the Holy Roman Emperor's condemnation as a hooligan. 
  Luther preached that redemption and, consequently, immortality aren't won through greats, but are only gotten as a completely free gift of God's grace through a follower's faith in Jesus Christ as sin's redeemer. By preaching that the Bible is the only source of divinely given knowledge, his faith assaulted the pope's power and office, and he battled sacerdotalism by thinking all baptized Christians to be a holy priesthood. Lutherans are the ones who relate to them, and all of Luther's more comprehensive ideas, while Luther demanded Christian or Evangelical as the sole acceptable classifications for anybody who proclaimed Christ. 
  His translation of the Bible into the German vernacular (instead of Latin) made it more available to the laypersons, a substantial event in both the church and German culture. 
  This and many other things did Martin Luther do, all of which were key elements of the reformation of the church and the beginning of protestant denominations.

  In 1960, six years before Marty Ross-Dolen was born, her maternal grandparents were killed in an airline disaster involving the collision of two commercial jets over New York City. They were traveling from Columbus, Ohio, to seek placement for their family’s iconic magazine, Highlights for Children, on the newsstands. Their daughter—Marty’s mother—was fourteen years old at the time. This genre-bending memoir tells Marty’s story of being raised by a mother in protracted mourning.  
  The fragmented narrative explores Marty’s journey, from personal ways of coping as a child to the evolution of a mother-daughter relationship that matured over time. It is also about her longing to know her maternal grandmother, and through saved letters and photographs from her grandmother’s life, she enters a fantastical relationship that serves to replace one that otherwise could never exist. Ultimately it is about the discovery of truth, in unearthing the story of her grandparents’ deaths and her mother’s acute loss, in freeing her grandmother’s image from the weight of a tragic death, and in Marty’s own delivery from darkness. Beyond that, it is about universal life choices, the ways human beings unknowingly determine their destinies, and the healing powers of truth and love. 
  A PDF accompanies the audiobook that includes the visual elements from the print version.

  Mary Ann O’Brien, Founder and CEO of award-winning marketing firm OBI, and the brains behind the revolutionary O’Brien Voice of Customer (O.VoC) survey, has been called “The Mother of Modern Marketing.” Now she’s sharing her unique, highly-successful approach to helping clients attract and retain customers in Ask and Deliver: Discover the Heart of Your Business by Listening to the Voice of Your Customers. In the book, O’Brien demonstrates how directly asking the people who buy from you what they want from your business, listening to what they say, and then designing your customer experience accordingly has the power to transform your brand and spark exponential growth. 
  The book follows the evolution of both OBI and the O.VoC through several iterations, beginning when O’Brien first developed the survey for Gateway Computers, in hopes of pinpointing where the once-beloved company had gone wrong with its customers. O’Brien quickly learned that the insights gleaned from the survey data—customer data—were like gold, providing a roadmap to bring Gateway back from the brink by putting the customer at the center of everything they did. It explains how O’Brien refined and added to the survey as she worked with clients across different sectors, growing her business while helping them achieve their dreams. And finally, it explores what happened when O’Brien subjected her own company to her methodology, and the unexpected changes that followed. It’s a fascinating education in a new and exciting marketing methodology, as well as an exploration of how one woman guided her business through the Great Recession and the Covid crisis in order to change the way marketing is done.
