Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being overwhelmed by life's challenges and responsibilities can cause many to lose hope, give in, or settle for less than what God the Father intended for his creation. Can we accomplish all that we have been created and destined to do in life? Can each of us reach our full potential without losing our minds or killing others along the way? My Best Friend's Name Is Grace is a personal synopsis of how the author managed to accomplish all that she has in life, in spite of her beginnings and the assignment she has been given. While truthful in scope and content, the book is written from an allegorical viewpoint, as it personifies and identifies God's Grace as being the essential ingredient for success and victory in life. Compact and simply written, the book is compelling and profound in its revelation of the person, presence, purpose, and power of Grace in the lives of ordinary individuals.

Book excerpt: A "stunning" (Hanif Abdurraqib), "unputdownable" (Mary Karr) meditation on queerness, family, and desire. How do you know if you are transgender? How do you know if what you want and feel is real? How do you know whether to believe yourself? Cyrus Dunham’s life always felt like a series of imitations—lovable little girl, daughter, sister, young gay woman. But in a culture of relentless self-branding, and in a family subject to the intrusions and objectifications that attend fame, dissociation can come to feel normal. A Lambda Literary Award finalist, Dunham’s fearless, searching debut brings us inside the chrysalis of a transition inflected as much by whiteness and proximity to wealth as by gender, asking us to bear witness to an uncertain and exhilarating process that troubles our most basic assumptions about identity. Written with disarming emotional intensity in a voice uniquely his, A Year Without a Name is a potent, thrillingly unresolved meditation on queerness, family, and selfhood.

Book excerpt: Grace Parker needs to figure out how to handle the 3Bs: boys, boy bands and ball sports. Things were simple for netball nerd Grace Parker at primary school. She was captain of her school team – and with best friends Stella and Mia won the grand final. Back then, her biggest problem was persuading her parents to buy her tickets to see Friday at Five, the world’s hottest boy band. But high school’s a whole new story. Grace’s greatest rival on the court, Amber Burns, just made the same netball team as her. Her twin brother, Gus, is devastated he didn’t make the A-grade AFL side. Her older brother, Tyler, is ignoring her. And as if that wasn’t enough for a 13-year-old girl to handle, dreamy aspiring rockstar Sebastian King is suddenly paying her a lot of attention ... Maddy Proud is a professional netballer currently playing for the NSW Swifts. Previously she played for the Adelaide Thunderbirds, who signed her at 16, making her the youngest player ever contracted in the Trans-Tasman ANZ Championships.

Book excerpt: Though one in four pregnancies ends in loss, miscarriage is shrouded in such secrecy and stigma that the woman who experiences it often feels deeply isolated, unsure how to process her grief. Her body seems to have betrayed her. Her confidence in the goodness of God is rattled. Her loved ones don't know what to say. Her heart is broken. She may feel guilty, ashamed, angry, depressed, confused, or alone. With vulnerability and tenderness, Adriel Booker shares her own experience of three consecutive miscarriages, as well as the stories of others. She tackles complex questions about faith and suffering with sensitivity and clarity, inviting women to a place of grace, honesty, and hope in the redemptive purposes of God without offering religious clichés and pat answers. She also shares specific, practical resources, such as ways to help guide children through grief, suggestions for memorializing your baby, and advice on pregnancy after loss, as well as a special section for dads and loved ones.

Book excerpt: The chosen one is the first of a series of novels in which the author represents a phase of his life. Starting from tracing real moments from his childhood and pre-adolescence, he adds fictional facts and events resulting from his psychotic episodes, of which he has been a victim for much of his life. In the book, always on the ridge between reality and hallucination, there is a series of characters and events that, although at first glance may seem real, lead us into the inner world of the main character Kurt Spurr, destined to be the chosen one of a modern, and almost despicable and reprehensible god. His world is populated by bullies, gangs and friendly characters, evil people amongst how the world really works through god owning the world and calling the shots and really having powers. Kurt is trying to be the chosen one but he has to prove god and his family that he is worth being the chosen one to rule the galaxy. In order to become part of the contract world, Kurt suffers serious bullying from his entire school but let to know is years to come it is only going to get worse. He struggles on a daily basis as he has no one really to turn to with his problems, but he doesn’t know he is in a story and he has to complete it for him to be the most powerful person that has ever lived. People are so jealous of Kurt because he is god’s grandson and can’t understand why he can’t die, as so many people have tried to kill him but don’t know what is in store for the rest of the world. In fact, he seems like a normal kid and the world doesn’t really believe Kurt will become that powerful as he was when he had powers. But the world has no clue that is going to happen, besides god and Curtis Jackson for the meantime, but this story is the craziest story that has ever happened. To prove his potential and succeed in obtaining the coveted title of chosen one, creating his own family that will run the world. Kurt David Spurr is an Australian-born author who has always lived in the Sutherland shire Cronulla area, but who attended high school at Waverly College. As a child, he was part of the rugby union and played for various teams. Since primary school, he has always had a strong predilection for the study of the English language, and in high school he had become one of the best in his school. He studied very hard with teachers not believing the work that he was coming up with, as he was naturally smarter than the most teachers at such a young age. All this has led him to try and improve his language skills even more, which he continues to do now, as he writes poetry and stories for fun, to save himself from partying too much. He tried rapping and many other sports and hobbies that have helped him along his journey, trying to find himself. He suffered from psychotic episodes, and this is basically the theme of his first novel, The chosen one. He came up with the novel through a series of events that happened in his life and that, because of his psychotic episodes, made him believe he was the main character of the novel. He has a passion for construction and is currently working in the construction industry as a builder that has finished carpentry trade, almost finished construction management degree and has some subjects left for his builder license. He woke up very early in the morning to write this book, and then went to work. He loves writing so much, it is a passion of mind and he has many stories in his mind that hopefully he can get out there. He’s always grown up on the beach and loves to party. He has a very good family and friends that have stood by his side through very hard times.

Book excerpt: In this remarkable tale of hope and survival, Hannah Luce tells how, as the sole survivor of a terrible plane crash, she came to grips with her faith: “a calamitous, fascinating memoir, written with surprising spiritual sophistication” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). On May 11, 2012, a small plane carrying five young adults, en route to a Christian youth rally, crashed in a Kansas field, skidding 200 yards before hitting a tree and bursting into flames. Only two survived the crash: ex-marine Austin Anderson, who would die the next morning from extensive burns, and his friend Hannah Luce, the daughter of Teen Mania founder and influential youth minister Ron Luce. This is Hannah’s story. In Fields of Grace, Hannah details the investigation of her faith, her coming-of-age as the dutiful daughter of Evangelical royalty, her decision to join her father’s ministry outreach to teens, and her miraculous survival and recovery following the accident. It also serves as a tribute and testament to the lives of the dear friends who perished in the catastrophic plane crash and reveals how their memory continues to inspire all that she does. Here is the “riveting personal account” (Booklist) of a girl who grew up as the daughter of one of the most influential evangelical leaders of our time, who questioned her early religious convictions somewhere along the way and who, from the embers of that doomed plane ride, finally found her faith.

Book excerpt: Wherever you look, there's trouble and wonder, pain and beauty, restoration and darkness--sometimes all at once. Yet amid the confusion, if you look carefully, in nature or in the kitchen, in ordinariness or in mystery, beyond the emotion muck we all slog through, you'll find it eventually: a path, some light to see by, moments of insight, courage, or buoyancy. In other words, grace. Lamott knows and lives by this belief, most of the time. In these essays, she recounts the missteps, detours, and roadblocks in her walk of faith.--From publisher description.

Just when she thinks she's found it her mother says it's time to move again. Grace summons the courage to tell her mother how she really feels and will always regret that her last words to her were angry ones. After her mother's sudden death, Grace is forced to live with a grandmother she's never met. She can't imagine her mother would want her to stay with this stranger.
