Book Description
Hi, Im Xian Wen and to whoevers reading this right now, we have probably not met. In fact, it is precisely the beauty of being able to reach out to you with this humble little nugget of a book, whoever and wherever you are, that got me lured into the whole business of writing. This book is close to my heart for it conveys my many intimate thoughts. To me, every memory and every idea is worth sharing beyond ourselves, as they only live on and flourish when expressed and exchanged. I hope this book offers a light-hearted stopover to all my readers, a safe place to imagine and wonder away from the everyday stresses of life. If it could leave you a happier person than you found it, then that to me, would be a wish fulfilled.

Book Description
Because I Care About You is a collection of inspirational writings about wisdom, building confidence, personal growth, faith, hope, love, and making mistakes. In life, we all learn in many ways. Most of our education comes from experiences and paying attention. I have been asked many times why I write inspirational thoughts. One of my goals in life is not to pursue happiness but to create it. It’s not to walk this path alone but to bring others along with me. Within my words, I hope to touch people’s hearts, open their minds, and give them a different perspective. Every day, life surrounds us with beauty, wonder, and amazement. It gives us so much to learn from. When we do more than stop and smell the roses, we allow our minds and hearts to see past the image and into the meaning of all around us. If I am able to allow someone who needs to be inspired, motivated, lifted up, or helped along to see a different perspective they never realized before, then I have made a difference. Our greatest accomplishment should not be what we do in life but what we do with our lives. Do we make a difference? Do we influence others with our words and example? Positions and titles are great, but our legacy in life will be the kind of person we were and what we stood for. Because I Care About You will touch your heart and, sometimes, allow you to see life from a different perspective. Life is a learning experience that never ends. The more we care about each other, the greater the opportunity to grow closer together.

Book Description
Designed to boost self-esteem, celebrate diversity, and build confidence in children ages 2-5, this beautifully illustrated rhyming picture book encourages kids to feel good about their hair, no matter how different it may be from other kids. In this hair-positivity book, children will meet Lola. Lola has really big curly hair, much bigger than the other kids at her school. While her big hair leads to lots of stares, ruins her games of hide and seek, and makes her easy to spot in a crowd, Lola embraces her differences and keeps kids entertained with the book's catchy refrain "I've got big hair and I don't care!"

Book Description
One of my gifts is the gift of encouragement. I have had many opportunities to exercise that gift in my interactions with other people in a nonthreatening way after a quick prayer to the Lord for guidance and waiting for the power of the Holy Spirit to intervene. When I see others near me or in my space so to speak who are presenting visual signs of discouragement, I will have a desire-and often do prayerfully and in a nonthreatening manner-to inquire and ask the question in a nonthreatening way whether there is anything that I can be of help with. I further say, "You seem as though that something is weighing heavy on you," without saying you look like you are carrying a burden. Telling them about the burden barrier can be presented later if the person accepts me in the situation. If that happens, I can share that I have had similar experiences and share in a testimony of what made the difference. On this journey, we are going to have trials and tribulations, and the real answer is how we react to it. All of us have a story to tell, but the best conclusion of any of our stories are the ones that includes what the outcome would have been-worse-if it had not been for the Lord who was on our side.

Book Description
It is in the seemingly ordinary moments of life where God does his greatest work. Go big or go home . . . so they say. But do you ever feel like no matter how big you go, you still haven’t gone big enough? Have you grown so frustrated with the pursuit of “go big” that “go home” is starting to look inviting? Going big all the time is not only a recipe for burnout—it’s not the way God works in your life. It’s time to break free from “go big or go home.” It’s time to invest in stamina, to cultivate endurance, to recognize the miraculous world of the ordinary, little things. Show the door to “go big or go home” thinking. Your ordinary life is miraculous. It’s time to go small—and keep on going.

Book Description
A deeply-reported examination of why "doing what you love" is a recipe for exploitation, creating a new tyranny of work in which we cheerily acquiesce to doing jobs that take over our lives. You're told that if you "do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." Whether it's working for "exposure" and "experience," or enduring poor treatment in the name of "being part of the family," all employees are pushed to make sacrifices for the privilege of being able to do what we love. In Work Won't Love You Back, Sarah Jaffe, a preeminent voice on labor, inequality, and social movements, examines this "labor of love" myth—the idea that certain work is not really work, and therefore should be done out of passion instead of pay. Told through the lives and experiences of workers in various industries—from the unpaid intern, to the overworked teacher, to the nonprofit worker and even the professional athlete—Jaffe reveals how all of us have been tricked into buying into a new tyranny of work. As Jaffe argues, understanding the trap of the labor of love will empower us to work less and demand what our work is worth. And once freed from those binds, we can finally figure out what actually gives us joy, pleasure, and satisfaction.

Book Description
Life for Jason is one wild experience after another. But then one night he has a chance encounter with a person he thought was but a distant memory. The meeting dredges up a long-forgotten mystery, and suddenly he is trapped on a roller coaster of mystery, danger and wildness—more wildness than he ever knew existed! Now he is on the run with his star-crossed lover. Will they reach a shower in time, or will the natural heat that burns within her consume them both? Will his beautiful, bestial, furry lover tear him to pieces with her giant claws in a lusty rage? Or will she tenderly lather him up, rinse and clean his naked, muscular and strong (for a human) body with scented soaps in a ritual of her people going back thousands of generations in a shower appropriately large enough to fit him and the mysterious, yet tender and svelte creature together? Find out the answers to these questions only in this seriously wild, hot and bothered new novella from writer Lacey Noonan.
