Book Description
CALLING ALL MOMS, AUNTS, SISTERS, COUSINS AND GAL PALS! This book just might save a guy you love from death by dust inhalation. Got a soon-to-be college graduate, fella moving out of his parents' house, or a recently divorced man in your life? You know, a clueless single dude who truly believes that his toilet bowl cleans itself? This book is for him. Sweep Her Off Her Feet gives my cleaning-challenged compadre funny, yet practical instructions for quickly getting his place date-ready. It even provides the list of weapons he will carry into battle against the dark and dirty forces that have invaded his castle. Kitchen? "Open the fridge. Throw out anything you don't immediately remember buying, won't pass the whiff test or has condensation inside the bottle." Bathroom? "Remember, women use TP every time they go. Every time. You're gonna need a back up roll, brother. Also, spend the extra ten seconds it takes to place the roll on the actual toilet paper dispenser. This, by itself, will distinguish you from 90% of the guys she ever dated." Testimonial: "I wish he had this book forty years ago" - Jamie's Mom (probably referring to his brother, Patrick, tbh) Jamie Reidy is an author and recovering slob. His first book served as the basis for the movie Love and Other Drugs, starring Jake Gyllenhaal as "Jamie." (Jamie really likes typing that sentence.)

Book Description
While on holiday in Toronto, Evie Whitmore planned to sightsee and meet other asexuals, not audition for a dance competition. Now she’s representing Toronto’s newest queer dance studio, despite never having danced before. Not only does she have to spend hours learning her routine, she has to do it with one of the grumpiest men she’s ever met. Tyler turns out to be more than a dedicated dancer, though—he might be the kind of man who can sweep her off her feet, literally and figuratively. Tyler Davis has spent the last year recovering from an emotionally abusive relationship. So he doesn’t need to be pushed into a rushed routine for a dumb competition. Ticking major representation boxes for being trans and biracial isn’t why he went into dance. But Evie turns out to be a dream student. In fact, she helps him remember just how good partnering can be, in all senses of the word. Teaching her the routine, however, raises ghosts for him, ones he’s not sure he can handle. Plans change, and people change with them. Learning a few steps is one thing; learning to trust again is another entirely. **See this title's page on RiptidePublishing.com for content warnings.**

A Beautiful Disaster
Author: Marlena Graves
Publisher: Brazos Press
ISBN: 1441246452
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Interweaving biblical insights and personal narratives, this eloquently written book shows how God often uses suffering and desert experiences to form us into Christ's image. Marlena Graves shares her experiences of growing up poor in a house plagued by mental illness as a means to explore the forces God uses to shape us into beautiful people in the midst of brokenness. This book offers a window into suffering through the motif of desert spirituality, revealing how God can use our painful experiences to show himself faithful. While no one welcomes suffering, God often uses desert experiences--those we initially despise and wouldn't wish on anyone--to transform us into beautiful souls who better resemble Jesus. Graves shows how God can bring life out of circumstances reeking of death and destruction, whether those circumstances are crises or daily doses of quiet desperation. Readers who have experienced suffering and question God's purpose for it will benefit from this book, as will counselors, pastors, professors, and mentors. It includes a foreword by John Ortberg and Laura Ortberg Turner.
