My Journey, My Los Man


Book Description

Wonderfully Shocked When tragedy strikes a promising college basketball player and leaves him in a coma, lives are changed forever. The decision of life and death arises, and through the voice of God, the decision to move "full speed ahead" and do everything possible to sustain his life is put into action. A mother is forced to lean on all she knows and reaches out to the Almighty God for answers and healing over man and science. God speaks to her through dreams and visions. During the pain of watching her child suffer, she is faced with uncertainty, discerning the voice of God, learning to be obedient and how to trust God fully. Her faith is tested and strengthened; new doors to spirituality are opened and closed. The realms of the spirit world draw her in as she fights to find her light amid the darkness. She digs deeper into a true relationship with God above all else, trying to understand what has happened and what is happening as well. The pressure of maintaining and going about life as usual is overwhelming and lonely at times. The battle of the mind is at hand, and the enemy is throwing distractions to get her off the path. But she lets go and lets God. She is gracefully broken and mended back together with a comfort that only God can provide.

The Mask of Masculinity


Book Description

‘This is one of the most important topics today that seemingly no one is talking about: how men can take care of their emotional health in a 21st century that demands it. Crucial reading for any young or struggling man.’ - Mark Manson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck At 30 years old, Lewis Howes was outwardly thriving but unfulfilled inside. He was a successful athlete and businessman, achieving goals beyond his wildest dreams, but he felt empty, angry, frustrated, and always chasing something that was never enough. His whole identity had been built on misguided beliefs about what "masculinity" was. Howes began a personal journey to find inner peace and to uncover the many masks that men – young and old – wear. In The Mask of Masculinity, Howes exposes: · The ultimate emptiness of the Material Mask, the man who chases wealth above all things; · The cowering vulnerability that hides behind the Joker and Stoic Masks of men who never show real emotion; and · The destructiveness of the Invincible and Aggressive Masks worn by men who take insane risks or can never back down from a fight. He teaches men how to break through the walls that hold them back and shows women how they can better understand the men in their lives. It's not easy, but if you want to love, be loved and live a great life, then it's an odyssey of self-discovery that all modern men must make. This book is a must-read for every man – and for every woman who loves a man.

My Journey with Maya


Book Description

A remarkable story of friendship, love, and courage. When Maya Angelou and Tavis Smiley met in 1986, he was twenty-one and she was fifty-eight. For the next twenty-eight years, they shared an unlikely, special bond. Angelou was a teacher and a maternal figure to Smiley, and they talked often, of art, politics, history, race, religion, music, love, purpose, and -- more than anything -- courage. Courage to be open, to follow dreams, to believe in oneself. In My Journey with Maya, Smiley recalls a joyful friendship filled to the brim with sparkling conversation -- in Angelou's gardens surrounded by her caged birds, before lectures, sharing meals, and on breaks from it all, they sought each other out for comfort, advice, and above all else, friendship. It began when he, a recent college graduate and a poor kid from a big family in the Midwest, was invited to join the revered writer on a sojourn to Africa. He would be handling her bags, but Maya didn't let that stop a friendship waiting to happen. Angelou was generous, challenging, and inspirational. Like a mother to him, she was selfless. Here Tavis Smiley shares his personal memories of Maya Angelou, of a decades-long friendship with one of history's most fascinating women, one who left as indelible an imprint on American culture as she did on him.
