With troubles beginning as early as childhood, the trajectory of Shane Niemeyer's life seemed to have only one direction: down. His struggles with heroin addiction led him to jail, and he eventually hit rock bottom. Soon, his two pack a day cigarette habit was the healthiest thing he did.

The Hurt Artist is the searing yet luminous travelogue of Shane's powerful journey from suicidal addict to Ironman. He vividly depicts the landscape of pain in which he's lived his life—emotional and physical pain inflicted upon him and that he inflicts upon himself, pain that pulls him down, and, in detailing his training, the pain he harnesses to lift himself up. Ultimately, Shane's story is one of redemption and triumph, a lesson in the value of second chances and a clear reminder that nobody, regardless of how seemingly desperate their circumstances, is beyond the reach of salvation. From inmate #71768 to Ironman Triathlon World Championship competitor #1419, Shane paints a stirring self-portrait in this hilarious, horrifying, and hopeful account that is sure to hook readers of edgy sports biographies.

The trouble, according to bestselling author Andrew Farley and Bart Millard, lead singer of MercyMe, is that we don't know where to find it. Inspired by MercyMe's #1 hit song of the same name, The Hurt & The Healer reveals exactly how God can be the gentle healer of all our hurts. Writing from the pain they've experienced in their lives, Millard and Farley reveal how their own struggles caused them to feel they had disappointed God. Through their biblical guidance, readers will see that God wants them to be open and honest about their pain. Only then can they discover how to exchange destructive thinking patterns for God's view of them and watch as God's perfect love casts away all their fears.

Change your thinking, change your life-that's the mantra of The Hurt/Help Book: The Ultimate Guide on How to Recognize, Eliminate, and Prevent Troubled Behavior. Written by someone who's been there, done that, and bought the T-shirt, this workbook examines fourteen characters that you likely have encountered. Do you know a manipulator? A white-collar criminal? A drug addict? Chances are you do. Chances are you may see any one of these fourteen characters in your mirror every day. While it's easy to focus on the reprehensible nature of corrupt behavior, we often ignore the hurt behind it. This book gets at that and more. Using what T. Dawson calls the "REP method," it features easy yet thought-provoking, dig-deep exercises to help you identify the cause of problematic behavior, understand the ramifications of that behavior, stop and overcome such behavior permanently, and begin to make life-affirming choices to become your best self. If your poor choices have imprisoned you emotionally, mentally, or literally-and you're ready to break free from that negative cycle-you'll find the support you need in The Hurt/Help Book from someone who understands where you are and believes in your potential.

The resident software millionaire wants to call it New Prospera; the mayor wants to return to the original choice of the founding black settlers; and the town’s aristocracy sees no reason to change the name at all. What they need, they realize, is a nomenclature consultant. And, it turns out, the consultant needs them. But in a culture overwhelmed by marketing, the name is everything and our hero’s efforts may result in not just a new name for the town but a new and subtler truth about it as well. Look for Colson Whitehead’s new novel, Crook Manifesto, coming soon!
