Book Description
When asked what led him to write To Save the Love That Was Lost. Lyman Allen said, "I wrote because I had to. It was a matter of passion I should say 'guided passion, ' because I found out that I was guided, and so the book is ours, Sofia's and mine. There was a lid on my passion: I wanted to believe that life made more sense than what we experience every day. We function from day to day, yes, but I think a lot of us live with a gut feeling of how life ought to be, and this is backed up, maybe, by a higher sense of that truth. Well I found that there is that truth, and it's in To Save the Love that Was Lost. In fact it's in the title. So, I'm offering an invitation to people to peek out from under that lid and see what they might find. I found the answer that makes sense. "Our book is about the original message of Jesus-Christianity before it was taken over by organized faith (is that a contradiction in terms?) It's about what was intended to work for the world, how we must learn to live. I found that Jesus' lost teachings are supported by religious history of 20-even 26-centuries ago. A lot of those teachings were discovered in 1945, hidden for all that time. They never got tampered with. "The title is from a verse deleted from a famous parable. It's a mission statement about advancing the original Christianity of Jesus-that's the love part-and it relates directly to the fate of our planet. It turns out that my mission was to write a book about these things. The book is, in fact, a spiritual thesis supported by ancient documents, recently discovered. That might be a 'first.'"

Book Description
Love is easy to give when you are getting it back. Are we still called to God’s plan of how to love when we are getting none in return? Shauna Shanks’s brave journey through obedience reveals the outcome of when we dare to follow God’s ludicrous outline for love as described in 1 Corinthians 13. Wrecked with news of her husband’s affair and his request for a divorce, Shauna finds herself urgently faced with a decision. Does she give up and divorce her husband and move on, or does she try to fight for her marriage? The former choice seems to contradict God’s plan for how to love, such as “love never gives up,” “love is patient,” and “love is kind.” Taking God at His word and assuming the love chapter was really meant to be followed literally word by word, she not only finds herself falling in love with her spouse again, but also falling in love with Jesus, which changes everything. First Corinthians 13 presents an audacious, illogical, and irrational context of how to love, meant to be applied to every marital context not just the fairytale marriage. If God’s instructions seem illogical and audacious, you might just expect the same kind of results in return! This book is not air-brushed. It was written in the midst of the author’s deepest trauma, and she purposefully did not edit out her mistakes and failures during that season. This book will resonate with women who do not feel like the picture-perfect Christian woman with the fairytale life and marriage. A Fierce Love is the story of a train wreck and reaching out to God not in the calm but in the chaos and finding hope for the future.

Book Description
"Once the initial intense excitement of a new relationship fades, we tend to think there are only two options: chase the impossible dream of recapturing that early magic or settle for a less than fulfilling love life. In Quantum Love, sex and relationship expert Laura Berman, Ph.D., the New York Times best-selling author of eight books including For Women Only, Real Sex for Real Women, and The Passion Prescription, offers a thrilling alternative--a higher level of love beckoning us to move forward, not backward. Using the essential truth we've learned from the study of quantum physics--the fact that at our molecular core, each of us is simply a vessel of energy--she explains how we can use what's happening in our inner world to create a level of passion, connection, and bliss in our relationships that we never imagined possible."--Provided by publisher.

Book Description
The Sparrow and the Crow is and will be an epic journey, deep within your wildest imagination. It takes you in places that light cannot exist, but love does. It makes you fear what you don't believe and except what you can't conceive. Christ was a flower, a perfect flower, taken into the eye of the sparrow. Hatred, rage, anger became justice, caught within the heart of the crow. The power of Christ has traveled through the ages, searching for two people, a man and a woman, who are not perfect before God; but their hearts are pure and one with creation. They are the chosen ones. Two people willing to die for each other, for no other reason than to preserve a single burning light within a darkened night. A candlelight, burning within the Eye of the Sparrow. His promise to Adam and Eve becomes the Omen of the Crow. That he who seeks the rose shall inherit the Heavens and Earth forever more.

Book Description
Award-winning journalist Simran Sethi explores the history and cultural importance of our most beloved tastes, paying homage to the ingredients that give us daily pleasure, while providing a thoughtful wake-up call to the homogenization that is threatening the diversity of our food supply. Food is one of the greatest pleasures of human life. Our response to sweet, salty, bitter, or sour is deeply personal, combining our individual biological characteristics, personal preferences, and emotional connections. Bread, Wine, Chocolate illuminates not only what it means to recognize the importance of the foods we love, but also what it means to lose them. Award-winning journalist Simran Sethi reveals how the foods we enjoy are endangered by genetic erosion—a slow and steady loss of diversity in what we grow and eat. In America today, food often looks and tastes the same, whether at a San Francisco farmers market or at a Midwestern potluck. Shockingly, 95% of the world’s calories now come from only thirty species. Though supermarkets seem to be stocked with endless options, the differences between products are superficial, primarily in flavor and brand. Sethi draws on interviews with scientists, farmers, chefs, vintners, beer brewers, coffee roasters and others with firsthand knowledge of our food to reveal the multiple and interconnected reasons for this loss, and its consequences for our health, traditions, and culture. She travels to Ethiopian coffee forests, British yeast culture labs, and Ecuadoran cocoa plantations collecting fascinating stories that will inspire readers to eat more consciously and purposefully, better understand familiar and new foods, and learn what it takes to save the tastes that connect us with the world around us.

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER To get ahead today, you have to be a jerk, right? Divisive politicians. Screaming heads on television. Angry campus activists. Twitter trolls. Today in America, there is an “outrage industrial complex” that prospers by setting American against American, creating a “culture of contempt”—the habit of seeing people who disagree with us not as merely incorrect, but as worthless and defective. Maybe, like more than nine out of ten Americans, you dislike it. But hey, either you play along, or you’ll be left behind, right? Wrong. In Love Your Enemies, social scientist and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller From Strength to Strength Arthur C. Brooks shows that abuse and outrage are not the right formula for lasting success. Brooks blends cutting-edge behavioral research, ancient wisdom, and a decade of experience leading one of America’s top policy think tanks in a work that offers a better way to lead based on bridging divides and mending relationships. Brooks’ prescriptions are unconventional. To bring America together, we shouldn’t try to agree more. There is no need for mushy moderation, because disagreement is the secret to excellence. Civility and tolerance shouldn’t be our goals, because they are hopelessly low standards. And our feelings toward our foes are irrelevant; what matters is how we choose to act. Love Your Enemies offers a clear strategy for victory for a new generation of leaders. It is a rallying cry for people hoping for a new era of American progress. Most of all, it is a roadmap to arrive at the happiness that comes when we choose to love one another, despite our differences.
