  Do you feel that you're not enough? Do you struggle to see your inherent worth just as you are? In this beautiful full-color devotional, the creators of popular online community Her True Worth offer encouragement through Scripture, story, and art to anchor your identity in Christ and to find rest in His presence. 
  No matter how much we strive or work, it can still seem like it's never enough. But that's okay! Our "enough" ultimately has nothing to do with our actions. Our identity is found in God—and Brittany Maher and Cassandra Speer don't toss that phrase around lightly. As these 90 devotions reveal, realizing your inestimable value in God alone is a life-altering, soul-anchoring truth that will change everything about your life—how you feel about yourself, how you spend your time, and how you treat others. 
  As you walk through the pages of this beautiful devotional, Brittany and Cassandra will kindly guide you back to what God intended for your life, showing you through Scripture, meditations, and reflective questions how sin corrupted God's plan, how Christ redeemed it, and how we can live securely in that redemption today. Each entry speaks the truth that you are:Safe, seen, and lovedAlready enough because of your value in ChristPart of a community of women who understand your longing for soul renewalWhole and complete in Christ, even when you feel fragile or overwhelmed 
  In a world filled with countless counterfeit identities, it's easy to get caught up chasing the wrong things. These devotions feel like sitting down to coffee with a close friend and sharing both the hard and good of what it means to be a woman following Christ, learning together how to grow and rest in the peace and security Jesus offers. These vulnerable invitations for reflection will help you confidently live out your true worth secure in His promises for you.

  There's no wrong way to be a woman. There are countless wrong ways to be a man. 
   
   
   
  James Breakwell should know. He's tried just about all of them. Journalism. Pig ownership. Felony lawn gnome theft. Whatever masculinity is supposed to be, this can't be it. But can you really fail at something no one can quite define? Apparently. 
   
   
   
  Now, in a series of funny, sharply observed, and occasionally poignant essays, everyone's favorite internet-famous father of four daughters lays down a lifetime of lessons in what it means to be a man. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll wonder what really happened to those creepy lawn gnomes on that deserted country road. (Spoiler alert: They're right behind you.) 
   
   
   
  If you ever wanted to know how to fail at altruism, dodge the priesthood, and stumble your way into unexpected wisdom, this book is for you. 
   
   
   
  How to Be a Man (Whatever that Means) presents a vision of manhood that looks very different from what you'll see on TV. And that's a good thing. Probably.

  From the author of The Gran Tour, a portrait of an intergenerational friendship. 
   
  Recently widowed, Winnie, 84, was in need of some companionship. Someone to help with the weekly food shop and offer tips on the crossword. Ben, 34, was looking for a new housemate. 
   
  As the UK was locked down in 2020, Ben and Winnie's lives interwove, forming an unlikely friendship, where lessons were learnt (heat the red wine in the oven with the plates; preserve or pickle whatever you can; never throw anything away) and grief, both personal and that of a nation, was explored. 
   
  Charting both their time together, and the details of Winnie's life that are shared with Ben in fragments, The Marmalade Diaries, from the author of The Gran Tour, is a very human exploration of home, of the passage time, of the growing relationship between an odd couple, told with warmth, wit and candour.

  We Jews wrongly believe we're immune to alcoholism and addiction—instead, individuals, families, and communities are suffering because of the stigmas surrounding addiction and recovery in the Jewish world. 
   
   
   
  "Is the 12 step program suitable for Jews? In this book Michael Levin shows with learning, sensitivity and wisdom why the answer is a resounding 'Yes.'" —Rabbi David Wolpe 
   
   
   
  "Shikkur is a goy." This Yiddish phrase means "Only Gentiles can be alcoholics," but it's not true. Jews suffer from alcoholism and addiction at the same rate as everyone else in society. Due to the stigma surrounding addiction in our community, people are dying unnecessarily . . . because they believe they can't get help. Jews and Booze attacks the stigmas surrounding addiction and recovery in our world.

  Deceptive Influence - Using...

  Cito Harder

  Deceptive influence is a powerful tool used to manipulate thoughts, emotions, and decisions without the awareness of the affected individual. It operates through misleading tactics that distort reality, making people believe in false narratives or act against their best interests. This form of influence is found in various aspects of life, from personal relationships and workplaces to politics, marketing, and media. While influence itself is a natural part of human interaction, deception adds a layer of unethical persuasion that raises moral and psychological concerns. 
  At its core, deceptive influence relies on psychological vulnerabilities. People tend to trust familiar sources, respond emotionally before rationally analyzing information, and make decisions based on incomplete or distorted data. Manipulators exploit these tendencies by using selective truth, exaggeration, omission of key facts, and emotional appeals to push individuals toward specific actions or beliefs. The effectiveness of deceptive influence is largely due to its subtlety; victims often fail to recognize they are being misled until it is too late. 
  One of the most concerning aspects of deceptive influence is its widespread presence in modern society. In personal relationships, individuals may use gaslighting, guilt-tripping, or selective storytelling to control or manipulate their partners, friends, or family members. In the workplace, deceptive influence appears in corporate messaging, office politics, and misleading leadership practices. Companies use psychological tactics to create false urgency, encourage impulsive decisions, or present misleading information to employees and consumers.

  The Game of Life and How to Play It

  The Game of Life and How to Play It is a short work of metaphysics by American artist, illustrator, and New Thought teacher Florence Scovel Shinn. Published in 1925, this book explores the foundations of Shinn’s philosophy — that what one puts out into the world is what one receives back. Her primary philosophy, explained in The Game of Life and How to Play It, is that, “The Game of Life is a game of boomerangs. Man's thoughts, deeds and words, return to him sooner or later, with astounding accuracy.” But while she refers to it as “a game,” Shinn acknowledges that it’s not an easy one to play. Plagued with fear and self-doubt, it’s a constant struggle to maintain control of one’s thoughts. Drawing from the Bible and anecdotes as her primary sources, she explores the subconscious, conscious, and superconscious minds, and how they work together either in service of or opposition to our wants and desires. The subconscious is “power, without direction.” It has the ability to bring about the events that the conscious mind observes or images. This can be a wonderful thing if we’re able to direct this power to our own benefit. But if we submit to doubts and negative self-talk, we can create the very circumstances that we hope to avoid. The conscious mind sees life as it appears to be. It observes and impresses the subconscious with its interpretations of what it sees — and these are often negative thoughts. In order to convince the subconscious mind, one must only bring that which serves it through one’s consciousness. This can be done through affirmations, and by behaving as if one already has the gifts they seek. Shinn was not the first to espouse these ideas. Where she stands out in the sea of metaphysical writers was the accessibility of her language. Written in simple English, with plenty of examples and illustrations, Shinn is able to connect with readers who may be exploring the topic for the first time.
