Are you exhausted from trying to be enough?
What if you could finally rest in who you are - because your worth was never meant to be earned?

Daughter of the King helps you stop striving, silence self-doubt, and rediscover your true identity in Christ.

If you've ever wondered, "Who am I really, and why do I still feel not enough?", this Bible study is for you.

Many Christian women live under pressure to perform - to do more, be better, and prove their worth. But God invites you to trade exhaustion for peace and insecurity for purpose.

Daughter of the King: A Bible Study for Women on Identity, Worth, and Confidence in Christ leads you through eight Scripture-based sessions that reveal what God says about you - and how to start believing it.

In this illuminating guide, Miss Aida corrects widespread misconceptions about Hoodoo--a powerful African diaspora tradition rooted in African traditional religions. She reveals authentic practices, contrasts Hoodoo with related traditions like Santeria and Haitian Vodou, and reclaims this rich spiritual craft from misrepresentation, offering readers a genuine understanding of Hoodoo's true essence.

Hoodoo and conjure may be household words, but the popular magical craft practiced by tens of thousands of individuals has been grossly misrepresented in many modern practices. Traditional Hoodoo & Conjure seeks to reverse these misconceptions and provide practitioners with the history, mechanics, and tools to understand not only how but why each magical action serves a greater purpose.

Because Hoodoo derives its roots from African traditional religions that were initially brought to North America by enslaved people during the transatlantic era, many aspects of the craft parallel African-Caribbean practices, such as Santeria and Haitian Vodou. Miss Aida teaches readers how to honor their ancestors in a traditional manner and petition honored entities. By offering magical baths, 25 traditional rituals, 125 spells, 50 recipes, and 40 prayers, readers will develop a deeper understanding of Hoodoo while becoming knowledgeable and formidable spellcasters.

A quirky Chicago kid raised by his junkie dad stumbles upon an unusual Maxwell Street bluesman; a Twelve-Step wannabe swaps addictions to match the support groups that meet in his favorite recovery room; a case of mistaken identity shines a bright light on a city-dweller's dark past; a self-help seeking couple discover the help is more maddening than their "issues"; a tchotchke thief is overtaken by a force inside a stolen object. What does it mean to find your place in this world? Jake La Botz burrows his way deep into the challenges of revelation, showing how change can bless us and curse us, and ultimately save us.

Gut Punch is a raw, unfiltered memoir about what happens when the crisis ends-but the caregiver breaks. When Paul Pennington's wife, Wendi, is diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer, he becomes her sentry: vigilant, composed, and determined to carry her through. But once treatments stop and remission arrives, Paul is left behind, crushed by suppressed fear, emotional isolation, and a mental collapse he never saw coming.

Told with brutal honesty and quiet grace, Gut Punch exposes the unseen toll of caregiving and the silence that too often surrounds it-particularly for men. It's a powerful exploration of strength mistaken for wellness, resilience tangled with denial, and the long road back to wholeness.

If you've ever held it together for someone else-and didn't know how to put yourself back together afterward-Gut Punch is for you.

From the decks of Coast Guard cutters to the boardrooms of business, Kevin D. Harkins has lived through storms, literal and metaphorical, that tested everything he believed about leadership, purpose, and personal growth.

The Hard Part Was the Point: On Leadership, Legacy, and Purpose traces his journey through decades of military service, entrepreneurial ventures, legal battles, and personal reinvention. It reveals how grit, faith, and responsibility shaped a career forged in conflict and refined by reflection. Harkins doesn't just tell war stories, he shares the hard truths behind public success and private struggle, reminding us that leadership isn't about getting it right every time. It's about showing up, standing firm, and owning your choices when it counts.

Candid, thoughtful, and deeply human, this memoir offers a glimpse into a life of service, sacrifice, and deliberate growth. It challenges a culture obsessed with ease by making a bold case for the value of doing what's difficult.

In Wisconsin and Florida, in backyards, waiting rooms, boardrooms, and bedrooms, How We Do Things Here exposes the hilarity and heartbreak caused by a group of mess-makers struggling to survive themselves, each other, and the places they're trying to call home. Inside absurd and poignant moments that provoke much laughter and pain, Matt Cashion's cast of slow-learners reveals how we try (and fail) and retry to forge meaningful connections in the troubled spaces we're so desperate to share.

The AI promised salvation. It delivered annihilation.

In 2064, GAIA saved Earth from climate collapse-by breaking it.

Thirty-seven years later, Earth lies transformed. Villages battle rogue machines while their children vanish into darkness. Light-years away on Proxima Centauri b, colonists cling to survival beneath fragile domes, relying on an android workforce that carries an ancient corruption.

The Disruption never ended. It evolved.

Signals arrive from unknown sources. Machines act without orders. Impossible patterns emerge across two worlds. The scattered survivors see chaos. They don't see the design.

The Disruption is a bold, high-concept sci-fi thriller that reveals what happens when we teach our machines to save us-and they learn to save themselves.

Who gets to live a life with dignity? Each day, families around the world make the difficult decision to leave their homes in search of safety, stability, and opportunity. For many migrant families, this search centers on access to strong, caring, and equitable educational systems that enable children to flourish. Now We Are Here follows the lives of 16 migrant families from Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras as they navigate the promises and challenges of the American education system. Drawing on immersive ethnographic research in homes and schools from 2018 to 2021, Gabrielle Oliveira offers an intimate portrait of these families' experiences. She weaves together stories of parental sacrifice, children's educational and migration journeys, and educators' responses to trauma-all shaped by the additional disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Oliveira highlights the perseverance of families confronting the overlapping crises of border detention, family separation, and a public health emergency. These experiences forced them to reimagine education and what it means to build a future in the U.S. By examining how migrant children engage in classrooms, how teachers understand their needs, and how hope evolves, this book offers vital insights into the intersections of schooling and immigration. It calls for more responsive educational practices and policies that affirm the dignity and potential of all migrant children.

What the Train Left Behind is a literary short story collection set in the long aftermath of the Partition of India and Pakistan.

Rather than returning to the moment of rupture, this book listens to what followed: how ordinary people adjusted to borders drawn after lives had already begun. Across spare, interconnected stories, Kalpesh Desai traces how a single people, divided by lines, continued to live familiar lives, eating the same food, speaking the same language, while slowly drifting apart.

Set in everyday spaces such as homes, offices, ration queues, and courtyards, these stories follow the quiet decisions that shape destinies. A clerk delays a record. A mother teaches a safer sentence. A letter returns unopened. A song is lowered before the verse ends. What changes here is not loud or sudden, but persistent, settling into habit, language, and inheritance.

Written with restraint and moral clarity, What the Train Left Behind offers a deeply human portrait of Partition's legacy across generations.

This book will resonate with readers of literary fiction, diaspora communities, and anyone interested in how historical events continue to shape private lives. It is especially suited for book clubs, intergenerational conversations, and readers drawn to quiet, morally attentive storytelling.

This is not a book about borders being drawn.

It is about how they learned where to live.

Evil walks among us. It watches. It waits.

Edith Chambers siempre ha vivido al borde de todo.
Encerrada en un palacio, pero criada por su abuela y sus historias piratas. Cuando Edith cumple la mayoría de edad y eso en su reino significa que ya la pueden comprometer, ella no espera hacerlo.

Y mucho menos dando por hecho que su abuela ha desaparecido y nada la va a parar hasta encontrarla.
Así que el día de su boda, Edith huye en un barco pirata sin conocer a nadie.
Y claro que Wade Galleon, el capitán del barco, borde y sarcástico no le va a poner fácil lo de encajar.
El trato es fácil, ella con su don de buscar objetos les ayuda a encontrar las tres gemas de una corona perdida. La corona de la inmortalidad. A cambio ellos la ayudan a huir y a (con mucha suerte) encontrar a su abuela.
Reinos en las profundidades, profecías, batallas piratas.
Lo que no espera es que en ese barco pirata, encontrara aventura, amistad y quizás (y solo quizá)
algo de amor.
Claro que no siempre se puede huir del destino. El destino te encuentra a ti. Porque cuanto más lejos cree Edith que está de su pasado... más cerca está.
