Book excerpt: When her husband, Mannard, unexpectedly passed away at just 50 years of age, Sheri Hunter was devastated. With her whole world falling down around her, she turned to her friends. Years before, she and these Dare Divas had gone on a whitewater rafting trip. Now they sought out other adventures--zip-lining, skydiving, mountain climbing, and more. Through these death-defying activities and the unwavering support of her friends, Sheri slowly found the strength to move forward in life. More than just a memoir, this empowering female travelogue pairs emotionally resonant, confessional storytelling with spiritual takeaways, challenging readers to engage fully in their own lives, surround themselves with friends who will support them, and face life's challenges with courage and faith. If you've ever experienced a sudden loss or upheaval in life, Sheri's story will reassure you that even if life as you knew it is over, the future God has for you is always full of new adventures.

Book excerpt: A groundbreaking, research-based guide that sheds new light on why young people make dangerous choices--and offers solutions that work Texting while driving. Binge-drinking. Unprotected sex. There are plenty of reasons for parents to worry about getting a late-night call about their teen. But most of the advice parents and educators hear about teens is outdated and unscientific--and simply doesn't work. Acclaimed adolescent psychiatrist and educator Jess Shatkin brings more than two decades' worth of research and clinical experience to the subject, along with cutting-edge findings from brain science, evolutionary psychology, game theory, and other disciplines -- plus a widely curious mind and the perspective of a concerned dad himself. Using science and stories, fresh analogies, clinical anecdotes, and research-based observations, Shatkin explains: * Why "scared straight," adult logic, and draconian punishment don't work * Why the teen brain is "born to be wild"--shaped by evolution to explore and take risks * The surprising role of brain development, hormones, peer pressure, screen time, and other key factors * What parents and teachers can do--in everyday interactions, teachable moments, and specially chosen activities and outings--to work with teens' need for risk, rewards and social acceptance, not against it. “Presents new research, as well as insights as a clinician and a father….This book is a clear argument to stop putting ourselves in our children’s shoes, and to try putting ourselves in their minds, instead.” –The Washington Post “With stories (personal and professional), neuroscience and cognition, psychology and clinical experience Dr. Shatkin offers an abundance of understandable, engaging and actionable information. He explains why and shows how. We can reduce risk in the adolescents we love and teach, but only if we know to how to do so and then do it. Born To Be Wild shows us the way to succeed.” --Psychology Today Winner, National Parenting Product Award 2017

Book excerpt: Two girls come of age during the horrors of China’s Cultural Revolution in this novel by the national bestselling author of Empress Orchid. The young and beautiful Wild Ginger is only in elementary school, but has already survived hell through her sheer iron will. Singled out by the Red Guards for her “foreign-colored eyes,” she has seen her deceased father branded a traitor and her mother commit suicide under the oppressive weight of persecution. But the young Wild Ginger will not allow herself to be taken down. Nor will she turn her back on other martyrs—like sweet Maple, daughter of a teacher of Chinese history, survivor of a labor camp, and victim of daily brutal beatings by a gang girl called Hot Pepper. While the two become fast friends over their shared ostracism, it is Wild Ginger who will take her Maoist principles to the extreme, becoming no less than a national model for the revolutionary Communist doctrine. But when both self-possessed young girls begin to feel a prohibited romantic love for the same boy, all three of them will face mortal danger. In this novel, the author of Pearl of China and the New York Times Notable Book Red Azalea “continues her extraordinarily acute inquiry into the wounded psyches of martyrs…and survivors of China's horrific Cultural Revolution… As in all her unsparing, compelling, and transcendent books, Min discerns both the vulnerability and strength of individuals and, more disturbingly, unveils the eroticism of pain. Given our own times, Min's taut and compassionate tale of oppressed teenagers kept in ignorance of the wider world, children brainwashed into performing acts of violence and self-destruction, is especially urgent.”—Booklist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almighty God, Christ of the last days, who has appeared to do His work, expresses all truths that purify and save mankind, and all of them are included in The Word Appears in the Flesh. This has fulfilled what is written in the Bible: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (Jhn 1:1). As for The Word Appears in the Flesh, this is the first time since the creation of the world that God has addressed all mankind. These utterances form the first text expressed by God among mankind in which He exposes people, guides them, judges them, and speaks heart-to-heart to them and so, too, are they the first utterances in which God lets people know His footsteps, the place in which He lies, God’s disposition, what God has and is, God’s thoughts, and His concern for mankind. It can be said that these are the first utterances that God has spoken to mankind from the third heaven since the creation, and the first time that God has used His inherent identity to appear and express the voice of His heart to mankind amid words. The Word Appears in the Flesh (abbreviated as The Word), expressed by Christ of the Last Days, Almighty God, currently consists of six volumes: Volume 1, The Appearance and Work of God; Volume 2, On Knowing God; Volume 3, The Discourses of Christ of the Last Days; Volume 4, Exposing Antichrists; Volume 5, The Responsibilities of Leaders and Workers; and Volume 6, On the Pursuit of the Truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Same story ... different results. Re-evaluation can sometimes create miracles. In many of the occasions in life, we see everything in a simple dogmatic way. We are used with different kinds of results and believe that these represents the only case scenarios that can happen. We want something else, but don’t really believe that life can bring us the ... goodies. We predict the future, according to the past. But you know, same story, with the same elements can also have a different result than we are used to expect. We can influence reality ... just by expecting something totally different that we used to have. For example ... there are cases when the Universe is sending us the same lesson on and on and on ... till the day when we understand that we need to do things differently to get a different result ... and improve everything happens. Sometimes we are good theoreticians, sometimes we can’t even see clearly reality and understand the meaning of the events ... especially the negative ones. But having optimistic standards can help us break any problem ... and in the end influence the energetic field of any situation, event .. or even the energetic field of other people. And when i use the term ... energetic field ... i mean the environment itself, with all its attributes that defines everything in a certain way. I can give a simple example. I was in a morning in my garden, reading a book. Adrian Gabriel Dumitru 4INFLUENCE AND BEING INFLUENCED ... a non ending story I was on a chair, in a specific place from my garden ... and i use to use that place by almost 10 years. From that point, i see the beauty of my garden in a specific way, but because it was a very hot day, and the sun came in that point, i had to move the chair in a different place from the garden, not to stay anymore in the sun. I was amazed. I almost saw a different garden from that position. I loved it ... but everything was a totally different perspective. This was a simple case scenario ... seeing even something beautiful, from a different angle and almost believe is something else. But in theory, and even in practice, we can have even negative perspectives totally metamorphosized into positive one. We can change the script of any scenario, by re-evaluate everything ... just by expecting of getting a positive result ... the one we desire. This is how, only by having an opened mind, ignoring the statistical datas from your past, the one that defines the probability of having a certain scenario ... we can actually influence, but also change the reality itself. And what we define as miracle ... is in fact just changing the believe into the fact that ... life can be also the way we dare to dream. Truth be told, the reality can be created or even re-created in any way we want it to happen. All we need to do is to connect to that energetic field, which actually means ... be one with the present moment ... and expect as everything should happen in a specific way that you want. Even the miracle itself is just a different result ... the one that we had in mind and wanted. So ... realities can be defined, redefined, but also written in any specific way. A hollywoodian movie ... has amazing scenes and all the scenes are a telling the details of the story ... so that it will have a powerful message, but also powerful impact on you. Adrian Gabriel Dumitru 5INFLUENCE AND BEING INFLUENCED ... a non ending story You connect with the reality of those scenes, but most probably the same scene was filmed by 5th - 7th ... even 15th times, till they considered they had the perfect one. The same way, certain events could be redefined by us, just by meditating, finding the best solution for that event ... and then implemented in the real life. And try ... and try again ... till the moment it just happens. And the life can look like a hollywoodian movie also ... by using the power of re-evaluation, re-defining and keeping an opened mind, expecting all the time positive scenarios for our lives. We are the creators of our reality ... by conscious or unconscious thoughts ... but in the end we should keep in our mind that what looks like a negative script, might be just a life lesson ... not finding yet the right path in life ... but every scenario can be re written in the way we want it to happen. The key?! I mean the key of getting out of the labyrinth ... is connecting to that reality ... that energetic field ... and have great expectations from it. So ... even if you don’t know it yet ... there is an art of influencing reality and you can learn it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Year with Nature is an almanac like none you’ve ever seen: combining science and aesthetics, it is a daily affirmation of the extraordinary richness of biodiversity and our enduring beguilement by its beauty. With a text by herpetologist and natural history writer Marty Crump and a cornucopia of original illustrations by Bronwyn McIvor, this quirky quotidian reverie gazes across the globe, media, and time as it celebrates date-appropriate natural topics ranging from the founding of the National Park Service to annual strawberry, garlic, shrimp, hummingbird, and black bear festivals. With Crump, we mark the publication of classics like Carson’s Silent Spring and White’s Charlotte’s Web, and even the musical premiere of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. We note the discovery of the structure of DNA and the mountain gorilla, the rise of citizen science projects, and the work of people who’ve shaped how we view and protect nature—from Aristotle to E. O. Wilson. Some days feature US celebrations, like National Poinsettia Day and National Cat Day; others highlight country-specific celebrations, like Australia’s Wombat Day and Thailand’s Monkey Buffet Festival, during which thousands of macaques feast on an ornately arranged spread of fruits and vegetables. Crump also highlights celebrations that span borders, from World Wildlife Conservation Day to International Mountain Day and global festivities for snakes, sea turtles, and chocolate. Interweaving fascinating facts on everything from jellyfish bodies to monthly birth flowers with folkloric entries featuring the Loch Ness Monster, unicorns, and ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology, the almanac is as exhaustive as it is enchanting. A Year with Nature celebrates the wonder and beauty of our natural world as we have expressed it in visual arts, music, literature, science, natural history, and everyday experience. But more than this, the almanac’s vignettes encourage us to contemplate how we can help ensure that future generations will be able to enjoy the landscapes and rich biodiversity we so deeply cherish.
