Book excerpt: On March 5, 1985, Al Novak’s life changed forever—and not just because his wife was a week away from giving birth to their youngest daughter. That was the day he became chaplain at the Genesee County Jail in Michigan and began leading inmates from crime to Christ. Over the next thirty-three years, he helped those bound by sin and by the laws of man to find their way to the Lord. The pivot came after some tough years living in Gladwin, where the author learned not to rely on the mediocre employment he’d occasionally find or the welfare system but God himself. In this memoir, the author explores how he found his way to Christ—even when his fellow police officers seemed less than pleased with his newfound faith. He also looks back at his growing up days living in the Co-Op—families pooling their resources—to his high school adventures and then to marriage and a police career. Al shares his God hunt as he learned to be content with his wages and discovered the unlimited power of prayer. He moved from intimacy to legalism to grace to performing for God but found little spiritual satisfaction until He got a great big hug from God. You’ll be inspired to overcome challenges and find your faith renewed as you learn about the author’s incredible experiences in Chasing Intimacy.

Book excerpt: The music we listen to, the movies we watch—they're all telling us to keep chasing love, and that we'll finally be happy when we find it. But is love really all we need? The love that the world tells us to pursue is all about self, about following your heart’s desires. But what is the Christian worldview on love? When we follow Jesus, we realize that he invites us to reorient the focus of our lives, so instead of chasing love primarily for our own happiness, we are first and foremost to give love—to God and to others. In Chasing Love, Sean McDowell will invite readers into Jesus’ radical, upside-down approach to love, and in doing so, he’ll answer some of the toughest questions we’re asking about love today: How does Jesus speak to singleness? What does the gospel say about LGBTQ issues? Can sexual sin truly be forgiven? What if I’m not happy in my marriage?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern spirituality and new age information is filled with distortions, misconceptions, and is leading humanity astray from our individual ascension. The power and connection to the soul has never been so limited and continues to create a world that is predominately living in their minds. We all have the power to become magical. We all have the power to live out our dreams and find a true soulmate. Working with sexual energy in tantric relationships is required to have an energetic impact on the non-physical (astral) planes to create astrally a future we wish to create, rather than face the destiny that the matrix or "time" has in store for us. We entered this world choosing our character knowing how our life would begin and how it will end. Ascension means creating our future astrally before we experience our fixed destiny. This is what magic and our lesson as humans is all about.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised and updated edition of Emily Nagoski’s game-changing New York Times bestseller Come As You Are, featuring new information and research on mindfulness, desire, and pleasure that will radically transform your sex life. For much of the 20th and 21st centuries, women’s sexuality was an uncharted territory in science, studied far less frequently—and far less seriously—than its male counterpart. That is, until Emily Nagoski’s Come As You Are, which used groundbreaking science and research to prove that the most important factor in creating and sustaining a sex life filled with confidence and joy is not what the parts are or how they’re organized but how you feel about them. In the years since the book’s initial publication, countless women have learned through Nagoski’s accessible and informative guide that things like stress, mood, trust, and body image are not peripheral factors in a woman’s sexual wellbeing; they are central to it—and that even if you don’t always feel like it, you are already sexually whole by just being yourself. This revised and updated edition continues that mission with new information and advanced research, demystifying and decoding the science of sex so that everyone can create a better sex life and discover more pleasure than you ever thought possible.

Book excerpt: Drawn from in-depth qualitative research, Queer Company provides the first extended, academic analysis of gay men's workplace friendships, offering theoretical and empirical insights into a subject that is timely and important. Although theoretically framed in poststructuralism and the sociology of friendship, this book also draws on feminism, organisation studies, gender and sexuality studies to explore the diverse roles and meanings of gay men's workplace friendships. Shedding light on the significance of workplace friendship for those who participate in them, particularly in terms of how these workplace relationships can help gay men to construct meaningful identities and selves, Queer Company examines the manner in which gay men’s workplace friendships are established, developed and organised, whilst considering the effects of organisational contexts upon friendship processes. A detailed investigation of the links between friendship, sexuality, gender and intimacy in the workplace, this book will appeal to scholars of management studies as well as sociologists with interests in gender and sexuality, the sociology of organisations and cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love of home life, the intimate moments a family peacefully enjoyed in seclusion, had long been considered a hallmark of English character even before the Victorian era. But the Victorians attached unprecedented importance to domesticity, romanticizing the family in every medium from novels to government reports, to the point where actual families felt anxious and the public developed a fierce appetite for scandal. Here Karen Chase and Michael Levenson explore how intimacy became a spectacle and how this paradox energized Victorian culture between 1835 and 1865. They tell a story of a society continually perfecting the forms of private pleasure and yet forever finding its secrets exposed to view. The friction between the two conditions sparks insightful discussions of authority and sentiment, empire and middle-class politics. The book recovers neglected episodes of this mid-century drama: the adultery trial of Caroline Norton and the Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne; the Bedchamber Crisis of the young Queen Victoria; the Bloomer craze of the 1850s; and Robert Kerr's influential treatise, celebrating the ideal of the English Gentleman's House. The literary representation of household life--in Dickens, Tennyson, Ellis, and Oliphant, among others--is placed in relation to such public spectacles as the Deceased Wife's Sister Bill of 1848, the controversy over divorce in the years 1854-1857, and the triumphant return of Florence Nightingale from the Crimea. These colorful incidents create a telling new portrait of Victorian family life, one that demands a fundamental rethinking of the relation between public and private spheres.
