Unseen - How I Lost My Vision...

Molly Burke

From social media star and change-maker Molly Burke, a vulnerable, honest, and darkly humorous memoir on navigating the challenges of being a blind woman in a sighted world 
  
When Molly Burke was four years old, she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare degenerative eye disease that leads to eventual blindness, forcing her to see the world through new eyes—literally. Growing up disabled didn’t stop her from playing sports, becoming a rock-climbing instructor, or winning a beauty pageant, but other people’s narrow perceptions of her held her back. 
  
Years of relentless bullying, toxic work environments, a rodent-infested apartment, and life’s lowest moments were juxtaposed with red carpets, first-class flights, and personal and professional achievements. Throughout her life, Molly has learned to appreciate the duality, and, most importantly, she’s learned the beauty of being unapologetically yourself and standing up for what you truly believe in. 
  
In Unseen, Molly chronicles her journey as a disabled woman, entrepreneur, and entertainer, illuminating what her experiences have taught her and what she hopes others can learn from her hardship and successes. Part memoir, part rallying cry for a more compassionate and empathetic world, Unseen recounts Molly’s life and experiences fighting against the expectations society set for her and, in doing so, helps readers find their own voice, inner strength, and self-acceptance.

One Life - The Narrow Path

Sylvia Suhr

For the past 20 years I have been to many third world countries in Africa and Asia as a Missionary/Evangelist, often staying for years and living among people in very remote areas. 
While many people in the world invest so much time and effort 
in building their lives around comfort and luxury, I do believe that 
"comfortable is scary!" 
My Autobiography just published on Amazon is inspirational and motivational! 
You will get to read unheard facts and feel genuine love for 
another human being just by reading this phenomenal book. 
I believe we need to read more books of this kind. 
Everyone, regardless of religious belief, age, gender identity, race, colour, or nationality, should read this book.

The Waondering King

R. K. Swan

This a collection of lessons learned from the perspective of a young man that has chosen to be a lifelong learner. Some of the lessons are from personal experience and travel. Then there are some from the minds and mouths of others. All lessons are true and authentic to a life lived in abundance and curiosity. 
I was once asked while out selling t-shirts from the trunk of my car, "Who are you?" I didn't have the words at the time to sufficiently answer that question. These books are my answer to that question. 
My prayer for this assembly of thoughts is that it finds great soil. Germinate and take root. Is nurtured, cultivated, and allowed to grow, and develop into something beautiful in the same way that those whose labor and seed have allowed for me to be aimed in the direction that I have.
