Book Description
When Crowley becomes the Zenith his Kindred was born to love, their enemies will learn that there’s nothing more dangerous than fated mates. Holden Bancroft was born with a better than average brain and not much else. Often described as strange and sickly, his attempts to conform only made him look foolish and a life-long diet of pills hasn’t provided a cure. Deciding to strengthen the only tool in his arsenal was liberating and learning became his greatest joy. But each episode is another reminder that his time is limited, and Holden intends to use everything he’s learned to help the small town of Hope before he dies. Alpha Crowley Lomond, Zenith of the Americas, isn’t exactly happy with his ascension. Leading isn’t the problem, it’s acting like he’s somehow better than every other shifter that chafes. But while living and working beside them may seem noble, Crowley is more than just an alpha. As Zenith, he’s their example, their teacher and guide, and the one they will turn to when their way of life is threatened. Meeting changes them in ways they never could have predicted and unveils a web of deceit that began long before they were born. Together, they will have to unravel the lies and reconcile the consequences if they are to protect the shifter way of life. Along the way, Crowley will become the Zenith his Kindred was born to love and their enemies will learn that there's nothing more dangerous than fated mates.

Book Description
Life with Kartik was good, however, seeing him with Parkinson’s was difficult and painful. I had to learn to understand it and muster the strength to fight it on a daily basis. I would get confused when Kartik would tell me that he is stuck. Stuck? I could not understand. Sometimes the medicine worked well and at other times I have seen him in immense pain. According to me, medicines should always work then why would they not? Every dosage he took, it was like fighting for his life because it takes forty-five minutes to one hour for the medicines to work, then the body cramps and slowly releases His strong will power helped him to overcome and fight against this cruel disease. I often wondered from where does he get the spirit and energy to keep pushing himself day after day. I realized that he keeps pushing himself because I was the driving force. I always asked myself a question, ‘If something happened to me, would Kartik leave me and the answer is, never’. He gives me so much respect, love and freedom. Life is NOT always full of roses. I chose to live with Kartik and walk by his side through this journey of life. LOVE, RESPECT, COMPROMISE AND UNDERSTANDING are the ‘Keys to the wonderful journey called marriage’. Arti Singh

Book Description
The collected proclamations ascribed to two little-known post-exilic prophets, Haggai and Zechariah, represent a bridge between the traditions of classical Israelite religion and the dramatic changes essential to the preservation of the fragile Restoration community. Carroll Stuhlmueller's section-by-section, verse-by-verse analysis and exposition focus on the prophetic word as addressed not only to Israel in this "time of small beginnings" but also to the Church today. His primary concern is the theological message of the prophets, yet ever with an eye toward their historical context, literary form, and cultural setting.

Book Description
The intent of this book is to look at our educational system as it currently works and to evaluate not only why this system is broken, but also how we might move forward, together, to fix it.So, how do we fix our failing schools? We begin by finally taking the educator out from behind the desk and bring them to the table to share in the decisions and solutions regarding what is happening in our schools. It is time to part the curtains on our public school system and show you the villains, the heroes, the talented, and the not so talented. It is time to give you a behind the scenes view of our educational stage.

Book Description
A powerful story about home, community, and hope, inspired by the rebuilding of Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria in 2017, written by debut author Karina González and illustrated by Krystal Quiles. "This book is more than beautiful." - Yuyi Morales, Caldecott Honoree and New York Times bestselling creator of Dreamers Co-quí, co-quí! The coquí frogs sing to Elena from her family’s beloved mango tree—their calls so familiar that they might as well be singing, “You are home, you are safe.” But home is suddenly not safe when a hurricane threatens to destroy everything that Elena knows. As time passes, Elena, alongside her community, begins to rebuild their home, planting seeds of hope along the way. When the sounds of the coquíes gradually return, they reflect the resilience and strength of Elena, her family, and her fellow Puerto Ricans. The Coquies Still Sing is also available in Spanish.

Book Description
The photograph of three men spattered with red paint, their arms linked, marching to protest the Vietnam War, is an icon of the 1960s movement for social justice. David Dellinger is on one side, Robert Moses on the other. In the middle is Staughton Lynd, chairperson of the first march on Washington against the war, and former director of the Mississippi Freedom Schools. Thirty years later, Staughton Lynd here reaffirms ideas central to the New Left of the sixties: nonviolence, participatory democracy, an experiential approach to education, and anti-capitalism. In essays written between 1970 and 1995, he passionately defends the intellectual contribution of a movement often dismissed as mindlessly activist. In addition, he advocates direct, sustained involvement in meeting the needs of the working class and the poor. Each section of the book identifies major influences on Lynd's life as teacher, historian, lawyer, and organizer. In the section entitled "Accompaniment", Lynd suggests the relevance to the United States of the concepts of liberation theology which have revolutionized Central America. In "Socialism with a Human Face", he expresses continued allegiance to the socialist ideals exemplified by Simone Weft and E. P. Thompson. The final section, "Solidarity Unionism", deals with the self-activity of rank-and-file workers. Living Inside Our Hope will reach out to everyone who remembers the Meals of the sixties with nostalgia and to those, too young to remember, who are seeking a foundation on which to build their own social activism.

Book Description
Anyone who has been affected by a loved one's sexual brokenness and desires a healing pathway will greatly benefit from this invaluable book. --James E. Phelan, LCSW, Psy.D, psychotherapist and author of The Addictions Recovery Workbook: 101 Practical Exercises for Individuals and Groups When Christian families hear the announcement "I'm gay" from a loved one, they need immediate direction, reassurance, comfort, and godly wisdom. Nobody is more qualified to provide all four than Carol Wagstaff, who's been serving such families for decades now. --Joe Dallas, speaker; author of When Homosexuality Hits Home, The Gay Gospel: How Pro-Gay Advocates Misread the Bible, Speaking of Homosexuality: Discussing the Issues with Kindness and Clarity, and four other books on sexual brokenness; co-editor of The Complete Christian Guide to Homosexuality In this interactive book, Carol helps readers walk alongside [Nehemiah] in order to see ways to cope with--and even conquer--some of life's most heartbreaking trials, particularly the trials family members and friends face with a homosexual or transgender loved one. --Denise Shick, executive director, Living Stones Ministries and Help 4 Families; author of My Daddy's Secret and Understanding Gender Confusion: A Faith-Based Perspective If sexual brokenness--homosexuality or transgenderism--has touched your family, you're on a painful and challenging journey. But you're not alone. Although Nehemiah lived more than two thousand years ago, he would have understood what you're going through. He dealt with brokenness, weakness, and powerlessness in the face of his circumstances. His heart was broken over unfulfilled dreams. He is a role model for the challenges you face because he endured so much, yet he obeyed God and fulfilled God's purposes for his life. His life reminds us that we often do not choose the circumstances God allows in our lives, but we can learn to make the best of them. As you study portions of Nehemiah and the armor of God, you'll learn to apply principles from these passages to help you reclaim and rebuild your relationship with a sexually broken family member or friend.

Book Description
This book has a simple message for business leaders: you help yourselves by helping the poor. Instead of feeling as if the economy is working against them, the poor need to feel they have a stake in it so they will buy your products and put money in the bank. Supporting poor people's efforts to move into the middle class is the only way to enrich everyone, rich and poor alike.
