Book Description
“An exhilarating collection” (The New York Times Book Review) of ten blended stories from Nobel Prize–winning author Alice Munro “The rich texture of its narrative and the author’s graceful style make [The Beggar Maid] a considerable accomplishment.”—Joyce Carol Oates, Ms. In this vibrant series of interweaving stories, Alice Munro recreates the evolving bond—one that is both constricting and empowering—between two women in the course of almost forty years. One is Flo, practical, suspicious of other people’s airs, at times dismayingly vulgar. The other is Rose, Flo’s stepdaughter, a clumsy, shy girl who somehow—in spite of Flo’s ridicule and ghastly warnings—leaves the small town she grew up in to achieve her own equivocal success in the larger world.

Book Description
As we travel down the road of life, we get to meet and build relationships with all types of people. Some are very easy to get to know and simply a joy to be around; others may be more of a challenge, and we find it difficult to get very close to them. Is it our fault or theirs? Many times, we dont stop to consider how others perceive us. We just trod along, living our lives, making some folks like us while others despise us. Have you ever considered how you stack up? Do others like you and want to spend as much time as possible with you? Or do they go out of their way to avoid being in your presence? In this book, I identify many of the different personality traits of individuals that I have encountered in my life. Some characteristics stand alone, while other may overlap. Perhaps you will find yourself in a number of these. I did! It has often been said, You must first identify the problem before you can go about solving it. As you read this book, try to pick out traits about yourself that you would like to modify or even eliminate. Keep in mind that you may also find traits that you want to improve or develop. It is hard to take an in-depth look at ourselves. Hopefully, this book will help you to do so and encourage you to make positive changes.

Book Description
WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DEFINES YOU? WHAT IS YOUR IDENTITY? How you answer those questions affects every aspect of your life: personal, public, and spiritual. So it’s vital to get the answer right. Pastor and best-selling author Mark Driscoll believes false identity is at the heart of many struggles—and that you can overcome them by having your true identity in Christ. In Who Do You Think You Are?, Driscoll explores the question, “What does it mean to be ‘in Christ’?” In the process he dissects the false-identity epidemic and, more important, provides the only solution—Jesus. “This book will give you an unshakeable, biblical understanding of who you are in Christ. When you know who you are, you’ll know what to do.” —Craig Groeschel, Senior Pastor of LifeChurch.tv and author of Soul Detox, Clean Living in a Contaminated World “I spent years in ministry for Christ without understanding my identity in Christ. I know now that I was not alone. When, by the grace of God, we understand who we are in Christ, everything else can crumble and we will still be standing. I highly commend this book to you.” —Sheila Walsh, speaker and author of God Loves Broken People

Book Description
“Step aside Dr. Phil; move over Dr. Oz. I truly believe that Dr. Tina Thomas is to personality psychology what Einstein was to physics . . .” (Eric Schulze, MD, PhD, researcher, CEO Lifetrack Medical Systems). As Dr. Thomas explains, “There is no such thing as a difficult person, just people with difficult personalities!” Those who understand personality and its biological basis never look at themselves or others in the same way again. Understanding personality this way will help you to understand what motivates you and others. This will also improve your ability to communicate. Who Do You Think You Are? will teach you how to adjust your internal and external environments to optimize your specific personality chemistry to become the person you always hoped you could be and create the life circumstances you only dreamed were possible. And, if that isn’t extraordinary enough, this new knowledge will create more compassion within yourself and more peace within all the relationships you ever had, have now, or will have in the future. Understanding yourself from the inside out may be the single most important body of information you ever need to reach your full potential. Who do you think you are? You may be delighted and surprised when you discover yourself this way! “Dr. T has an uncanny ability to combine the art of psychology and the science of biology to create elegant ways to increase self-compassion, improve relationships and help people to become self-actualized.” —Richard Tscherne, PhsD, clinical psychologist, director of The Gestalt Institute and Relationship Center of New York

Book Description
A powerful guide to manifesting the happiness and satisfaction we desire in the present by reconnecting with our experiences from the past, from a master intuitive and expert life coach In our identity-obsessed culture, it is easy to think that who we are is determined by what we see in the mirror. But what if we open our minds to the notion that we are souls journeying through many lives over time? How would it change the way we think about ourselves now to remember how we lived before? Michelle Brock has helped thousands of people discover the stories of their previous lives—their traumas and triumphs, losses and loves—and has witnessed incredible results. When we learn our stories from the past, we can reach unprecedented heights of self-awareness in the present. Asking questions about our other lives is inherently human—and essential to our spiritual development. With Brock’s enlightening guidance, and prompts throughout to encourage self-reflection and compassion, you will be inspired to reject any limiting notions of what defines you, heal from the ordeals of previous lives, and embrace a joyful, emotionally fulfilling existence in the here and now.

Book Description
As we adapt to the complex world surrounding us, we are constantly bombarded with both negative and positive concepts about who we are supposed to be. The most negative messages of all come from within our own thought patterns which were programmed in our early years. Parents, siblings, teachers, family and friends all help to create our vision of who we are and who we may become. This book examines the harmful messages that our own inner voice contributes to our self doubt and fear about success, happiness and love. Most importantly, this book provides strategies to suppress that defeatist voice and points the way towards a more successful and happy life. If you have ever felt "not good enough", this book is for you.
