It's All About the Small Things


Book Description

In It's All About the Small Things—formerly titled Church of the Small Things—Melanie Shankle helps you embrace what it means to live a simple, yet incredibly meaningful life and how to find all the beauty and laughter that lies right beneath the surface of every ordinary, incredible day. Also features bullet journaling pages and exclusive lists of the small things that bring Melanie joy, including her favorite TV shows and movies to fashion must-haves and more! Is my ordinary, everyday life actually significant? Is it okay to be fulfilled by the simple acts of raising kids, working in an office, and cooking chicken for dinner? It's been said, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away." The pressure of that can be staggering as we spend our days looking for that big thing that promises to take our breath away. Meanwhile, we lose sight of the small significance of fully living with every breath we take. Melanie Shankle, New York Times bestselling author and writer at The Big Mama Blog tackles these questions head on. Easygoing and relatable, she speaks directly to the heart of women of all ages who are longing to find significance and meaning in the normal, sometimes mundane world of driving carpool to soccer practice, attending class on their college campus, cooking meals for their family, or taking care of a sick loved one. The million little pieces that make a life aren't necessarily glamorous or far-reaching. But God uses some of the smallest, most ordinary acts of faithfulness--and sometimes they look a whole lot like packing lunch.

On Being


Book Description

Like it. Like it. YES, I DO. Rock & roll saved my life. (Fact: Kiki does not speak or write in hyperbole. When she makes a statement like this, it's the truth, pure & simple.) For Kiki rock & roll is not just great music, but a state of being that saved her (Praise Jesus) from an ordinary, soul-stifling, errand-running life. Kiki has never been ordinary (read: conventional). Rock & roll gave her a place to go and to be. From The Beatles to Bruce Springsteen, beyond, and before she experienced a world of Thrills & Chills, laughter & cheers, adventures in botany, better living (and dying) through chemistry, and a lot of TROUBLE and sex. Don't forget the sex. STOP. Disregard this back cover prattle. Kiki is a FAN, pure & simple. Her story includes a very funny satire of a standard rock & roll concert. BONUS: The lyrics to four songs, none of which could or should be set to music. Running through her story is a thoughtful (but still funny) commentary on the state of disrepair in American culture, politics, government, economics, AND why Kiki ran from the synagogue and never looked back (I'm sure going to Hell for this one.) Except for 10 years (they call it 'higher education.' I call it getting my ticket punched) and 18 months (being born, being a baby, toddling toward the terrible twos), Carolyn Kiki Cummings has lived in Houston, a city in the great State of Texas. She has practiced clinical psychology for the past 30 years (because they didn't teach me how to do it in school and because I'm a slow learner.) For the past 16 years, she has been bossed around by her cat, Miss Chloe. Kiki does not like writing about psychology. Miss Chloe stopped listening to me years ago. She says, 'If you want to yap, get a dog.' Recounting people's pain and suffering is no fun. Anyway, that's what singing the blues is for. ON BEING: A Rock & Roll Fan is Kiki's very funny account of her life. You can either laugh, cry, shoot somebody, or shoot yourself. I don't want to go to jail. I don't want to die just yet. I hate crying. There's nothing left to do but laugh. LOUDER!
