Millions of women are suffering the same fate: the wounds of the past are continuously haunting them, holding them back from reconnecting with their authentic selves. Up until now, you've been putting up a strong front as you fight against oppression. But you can only hold so much. Sooner or later, your cup will overflow, drowning you in the process.

Undoubtedly, there are moments when hope is obscure. That's because hope has many hiding places. It hides behind heartbreak, camouflages in stress, and disguises itself in grief. It only takes a few disappointments before our expectations are hijacked by doubt and disbelief. Hope is easy to lose and hard to find, but there is never a season when hope is out of reach. Inspiring you towards the pursuit of hope with a lens of compassion, Sarah serves as a guide who exposes the hidden hope that awaits you each day.

Based on the author's previous guides to a 10-touchstone method of grief therapy, this book takes an inspirational approach to the material, presenting the idea of wilderness as a sustained metaphor for grief - and likening the death of a loved one to the experience of being wrenched from normal life and dropped down in the middle of nowhere. Feeling lost and afraid in this uncharted territory, people are initially overwhelmed, but they begin to make their way through the new landscape by searching for trail markers.

Even if you are unaware of their presence, angels are always available to help you. If you have experienced a lucky break or happy coincidence, it was most likely orchestrated by your guardian angel. And, as Robbie Holz reveals, if we give angels permission to enter our lives, if we ask for their help in navigating life’s many challenges, their assistance is much more profound and effective. In this step-by-step guide to calling on angels and benevolent spirit guides, Holz explores how to initiate and nurture your angelic relationships and engage their powerful assistance.

Through compelling profiles of people who knowingly planned the experiences mentioned above, Your Soul's Plan shows that suffering is not purposeless, but rather imbued with deep meaning.

Most people think of God's will as something to be found or as the receiving of guidance from God when making decisions. Too often, however, the problem is not that we don't know what God desires for our lives, but rather that we just don't want to do what we already know he wants. How might our wills be changed so that we become both willing and able to do what God asks of us? In Desiring God's Will, psychologist and spiritual director David G. Benner explores the transformation of the will in Christian spirituality.

Publisher's summary
In Turning Tragedy Into Triumph, Michael Bush fearlessly opens up about his extraordinary battle with both mental health challenges and the harrowing ordeal of fighting and surviving stage 4 cancer. Through gripping honesty and unwavering vulnerability, Bush takes listeners on an emotional rollercoaster, from the depths of despair to the pinnacle of triumph, demonstrating the indomitable human spirit's capacity for resilience and transformation.
In the depths of his struggles, Bush faced a dual battle: the crippling weight of mental illness and the life-threatening diagnosis of stage 4 cancer. He shares the darkest moments when he felt trapped in a cycle of despair, grappling with anxiety, depression, and the overwhelming uncertainty of his future. With unflinching candor, Bush exposes the raw reality of his mental health journey, offering a poignant exploration of the complex interplay between the mind, body, and the sheer will to survive.
As he navigates the treacherous path of cancer treatment, Bush's resilience shines through. With each setback and triumph, he discovers the power of hope and the unwavering support of loved ones. Though he endures grueling treatments and faces the possibility of death, he emerges as a beacon of inspiration, proving that the human spirit can persevere even in the face of unimaginable adversity.
But the story doesn't end with Bush's remission. Turning Tragedy Into Triumph delves into the uncharted territory of life after cancer, where survivors must grapple with a newfound sense of identity, purpose, and the lasting emotional scars of their journey. Bush's poignant reflections shed light on the challenges of rebuilding a life, rediscovering joy, and finding a new normal amidst the haunting shadows of the past.
Turning Tragedy Into Triumph is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a powerful reminder that, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, hope, healing, and transformation are possible. Michael Bush's story serves as an invaluable resource for individuals battling mental health issues, cancer survivors, and anyone seeking inspiration and guidance on their own path to recovery.
Note from the author: This book is dedicated to all those who have faced their own shadows and emerged stronger on the other side. May it be a source of hope, encouragement, and solace to those who need it most.

In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Boaz Manor was a finance wunderkind. He started a hedge-fund company in Canada and later burst onto Wall Street with a product that could transform the crypto market. By all accounts, he was incredibly hard-working. Possibly brilliant. And...a shameless con man who ended up wanted in multiple countries. Chasing Boaz Manor explores Boaz’s schemes through the perspective of those he left in his wake.

In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.
