    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisHow to Fully Accept Yourself—Just As You Are Most of us have plenty of experience with self-blame and guilt—but we are often at a loss when it comes to forgiving ourselves. According to Colin Tipping, this is because our idea of forgiveness usually requires a victim and a perpetrator—which is impossible when we play both roles at the same time. Tipping's Radical Forgiveness process allows us to navigate this dilemma for deep and lasting healing. To help us gain freedom from excessive inner criticism and self-sabotaging beliefs, he offers the Radical Self-Forgiveness book and companion audio program. Join Colin Tipping to learn his step-by-step methods for going beyond the level of self-judgment and recrimination to the deeper spiritual state in which true forgiveness occurs. What's "radical" about Colin Tipping's approach to forgiveness? "It's not about telling ourselves a new story about something that happened," he says. "It's about creating a profound shift at the spiritual level." Based on his world-renowned forgiveness workshops, the Radical Self-Forgivenessbook shares clear insights for resolving our deepest internal wounds using Tipping's five-stage forgiveness process. The Radical Self-Forgivenessaudio edition offers a toolbox of exercises, techniques, and guided practices designed to help us break the cycle of blame and victimhood—an empowering attitude that helps us fully embrace every experience. Many of our fears, anxieties, and even physical health problems originate from the parts of us that we consider unforgiveable. Yet when we recognize that we are worthy of forgiveness—no matter who we are or what we have done—we gain access to the loving energy of spirit that can heal our deepest wounds. Used alone or in combination for an integrated practice, the Radical Self-Forgiveness book and audio program open the doorway to the freedom and inner peace that come from true self-acceptance.

    Book SynopsisIt’s Never Too Late to Live Your Life “I Will Not Die an Unlived Life is a little book with a big message. It can remind you of who you are and heal your life.” ―Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, author of My Grandfather's Blessings and Kitchen Table Wisdom In the 1980s, Dr. Dawna Markova was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Here begins her path towards rediscovery and a purpose driven life. Feeling lost? I Will Not Die an Unlived Life follows Dr. Markova’s journey to find deeper meaning in life. In her book she guides readers down a path where they can discover their value and purpose. When we feel lost, she points out, we can either continue to live habitual lives and resign our strength―or we can choose to follow our passions. What is passion? It’s normal to feel stagnant, to be at a loss for energy. Dr. Markova reconceptualises feeling lost as a period of passion's rest. With this, she asks questions that challenge us to slow down and have more conversations with ourselves. How to find yourself again. Poetic and inspiring, I Will Not Die an Unlived Life is a collection of stories with meaning. Following Dr. Markova's own journey at making her life matter, she offers readers insight into how to: Find personal balance Reclaim passion and purpose in life Focus attention and awareness on the present moment If you enjoyed classic beach gifts like Gift from the Sea, or books like The Book of Awakening, Let Your Life Speak, Hallelujah Anyway, The Purpose Driven Life, or The Open Mind, then I Will Not Die an Unlived Life is your next read!Table of ContentsI Will Not Die an Unlived LifeForeword by Justine and Michael Toms Living Wide Open: Landscapes of the Mind Chapter 1: A Second Innocence Chapter 2: How Do I Live Divided No More?

    1 in stock

    Book Synopsis50 Risks to Take With Your Kids is a guide for parents and carers to nurture resilience and independence in kids as they learn to take their own risks.For anyone who wants to combat helicopter parenting and a bubble-wrapped generation, Daisy Turnbull offers an easy-to-use framework with simple, practical challenges for children aged up to 10 years old. In 50 Risks to Take With Your Kids, you'll find risks that build physical skills, social confidence and character development before kids enter those 'risky' teenage years. You'll also find some all-important parenting risks that will encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and think a little differently about raising children. It may sound counterintuitive to say that the more opportunities you give children to test boundaries, the better they will 'adult', but it's true. The more they are allowed to play in the mud, create games and find their own solutions to problems, the more they will thrive later in life.Peppered with Daisy’s own experiences in teaching, wellbeing and parenting, this warm and funny book is not about developmental KPIs, and it's certainly not about judgement. It's about teaching kids to recognise and assess risks themselves, and readying them to take on life and all that it brings. And it's about having fun and connecting as a family along the way.Trade Review'An honest, funny and beautifully written account of parenting with all of its accursed uncertainties. If we were serious about absolute risk-aversion, we'd never have children at all, of course, but Turnbull is a wise guide to the risks that are truly worth it. For a book about risk-taking, it's hugely reassuring.' – Annabel Crabb, journalist and author 'This book is full of smart, evidence-based steps that parents (and grandparents!) can take to assist the emotional and cognitive development of their children. In the 21st century, there are few more important parental, family or social tasks. I will be actively recommending it to many of those parents who are struggling to find practical actions that they can take every day.' – Professor Ian Hickie AM, clinical psychiatry researcher 'We hear that ‘bubble-wrapping’ kids backfires, but how do we start popping the bubbles? When do we fully unwrap the kid? What if we prefer our kids safe and sound, and no risk seems worth it? That's when we pick up this book: a practical, sympathetic guide to giving kids back the chance to make some ‘bad’ moves and grow from them.' – Lenore Skenazy, founder of the free-range kids movement 'Resilience is a gift you give your child. It's the ability to bounce back when things get tough, it's coping skills, and it's the foundation for good mental health. With a sense of humour and a pragmatic approach, Daisy Turnbull has made teaching resilience easy and fun. 50 Risks captures everyday opportunities to develop and nurture resilience in your child. It is an essential parenting resource.' – Dr Fiona Martin MP, psychologist and federal member for Reid 'Daisy has written an important and timely book, with a down-to-earth, practical and humorous approach, combined with nods to science, psychology and Bluey.' – Dr Judith Locke, clinical psychologist

Their story of courage and perseverance in the midst of loss is inspiring, to say the least. I am confident that Jennie's story, perspective, and wisdom will bless multitudes. Life does have its shadowlands, yet there is always hope. I believe that The Fight to Flourish will be hope in darkness and hope in the journey for many.' Bobbie Houston, co-global senior pastor, Hillsong Church'Jennie Lusko embodies this message of flourishing unlike anyone else I know. Her life has blossomed, not just in spite of her great struggles but right through them. Jennie invites us into these transformational lessons learned with hard-won wisdom and supernatural grace. This book is a priceless guide for any hurting heart longing for more.' Katherine Wolf, author of Suffer Strongand Hope Heals'Jennie Lusko is a woman whose life reflects the miracle-ground forged when grace and resilience hold hands. The harvest coming from that ground--tilled, broken, planted, and watered in seasons of real, hard life--is something beautiful to behold and utterly God-glorifying. As you lean into the tested and lived-out lessons from this book, may hope and grit rise up in you as the Lord deposits courage in you for your own fight to flourish.' Brooke Ligertwood, head of Hillsong Worship'As Greg and I have personally experienced, life doesn't always turn out like you had planned. It didn't for us when, in 2008, our son Christopher was suddenly called to heaven. Levi and Jennie were there for us in ways that mattered most. 'In this book, Jennie shows us how one can not only survive but flourish in dark seasons of suffering. Jennie Lusko is not only a dear friend to our family but one of the most beautiful examples of a wise and godly woman with a strong message of hope.' --Cathe Laurie Founder and executive director of Virtue for Women'Jennie Lusko's faith cannot be ignored. It is raw and real. Both bold and beautiful, her faith shines more brightly through her sorrows than her successes. The untimely loss of her daughter Lenya thrust Jennie into the public spotlight, making her internal agony a grief observed. In this gut-wrenchingly honest book, Jennie lets us watch her mother's heart ache and break, and then witness God remake it into a sacred place of worship.' --Lenya Heitzig Author and speaker'Jennie Lusko's faith cannot be ignored. It is raw and real. Both bold and beautiful, her faith shines more brightly through her sorrows than her successes. The untimely loss of her daughter Lenya thrust Jennie into the public spotlight, making her internal agony a grief observed. In this gut-wrenchingly honest book, Jennie lets us watch her mother's heart ache and break, and then witness God remake it into a sacred place of worship.' --Lenya Heitzig Author and speaker'Maybe you feel like you're in a losing battle and have hit the ground too many times to count. Jennie Lusko has been there! Ready to discover the ongoing strength she found? Jennie wrote The Fight to Flourish as a charge to reengage life with renewed vision and confidence.' Amy Groeschel, cofounder of Life.Church, author, and founder of Branch15'The words in this book carry such honesty and offer true strength. Jennie so beautifully shares how you can thrive in the middle of those things you never expected would become part of your life. If you are ready to shed your burdens and step into a flourishing life, read this book. It will bring a freedom you never knew was possible.' Alex Seeley, lead pastor of The Belonging Co'Each one of us eventually comes to a point in life when we are feeling weak and broken and don't know where to turn. We desperately need to hear a voice of truth speaking life to us in those times. Thankfully, Jennie Lusko steps up to be that voice for us in The Fight to Flourish. Jennie has walked through the valley in her own life and is a friend who has certainly strengthened me with words of hard-fought hope. In this book you'll treasure, she will help you press in and press on to live a life that looks a whole lot more like flourishing than it ever did before.' Lysa TerKeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author; president of Proverbs 31 Ministries'Everyone has a desire to flourish. To thrive and be successful. However, no one is exempt from the sting of pain. There's a decision between the place of pain and promise: to fight forward or to remain discouraged. This book speaks to that place. And I can think of no one better to speak to that place than Jennie. She is the fiercest fighter I know! I believe this book will equip you for the life you are called to live.' Julia Veach, lead pastor of ZOE Church LA'God has plans for each of us that far exceed anything we could ever ask, think, or imagine. The Fight to Flourishwill encourage you to hold on to God's promise of an 'exceedingly abundantly more' life, even when yours feels completely out of reach.' Christine Caine, bestselling author; founder of A21 and amp; Propel Women'Jennie has so beautifully lead by example what it means to embrace the fight. This book will challenge you to get some grit to 'fight to keep fighting' and yet still remain sweet and pliable in the hands of the Father. It's a reminder that while anchoring your roots down deep to flourish can feel overwhelming, He is in the deep with you.' April Carter, a close friend of Jennie's'My wife didn't want to write this book. She was too busy living out its message--fighting to flourish. I am constantly amazed watching her go at it hammer and tongs, whether facing grief, our family life, or in our church as we pastor together. No, she didn't want to write this book, but that is precisely why it is so important that she did. This is no abstraction full of theories or poems you are about to read. The Fight to Flourish is a tear- and blood-stained playbook that has helped her face both victory and defeat with grace and grit, and it will help you do the same.' Levi Lusko, Jennie's husband'Sometimes God knits friends into family. It's extraordinary, really, and we treasure having Jennie Lusko and her family as our people. Jennie's book, The Fight to Flourish, is a brave and faith-filled story of how to fight forward toward the flourishing version of yourself that God created you to be. Jennie, filled with sweetness and boldness, allows God to move powerfully in the midst of devastation and chooses to author a story that loudly echoes His glory. Way to go, Jennie. We love you.' Shelley Giglio, cofounder of Passion Conferences and Passion City Church'We all want to flourish, but few are willing to fight for it. Through Jennie's powerful words and real-life experiences, she walks us through the work that is required to revive our roots to blossom and bloom. The teaching is profound, but her life lives a greater story. I believe this book this book will pour Living Water onto dry ground.' --Bianca Juarez Olthoff Church-planter, teacher, and best-selling author of Play with Fireand How to Have Your Life Not Suck'We've all experienced some type of heartbreaking loss that only God Himself can lead us through. That's why Jennie's book is so necessary. She beautifully shares how, even when life isn't what you imagined it would be or should be, it is possible, through God's love and tender care, to take flight once again. If you're feeling weary, exhausted, busy, or if you're carrying a weight too great to bear, this book will show you the way.'

    Book SynopsisDefuse any heated conflict by learning which of the five conflict styles you are and how to resolve even the most sensitive dispute with this must-read guide.The average American worker spends 156 hours a year engaged in the kind of moderate to intense workplace conflict that adversely impacts both performance and health. Managers spend twenty-six percent of their time addressing and resolving conflicts on their team—the equivalent of chewing up one full workday each week. But what if it didn’t need to be like this? What if there was a way to spend less time in stressfully interpersonal interactions and more time on the things that really matter? Through three decades of building and facilitating team chemistry for Fortune 500 companies, professional sports franchises, schools, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and families—Drs. Jim Guinn and John Eliot have reduced the time and cost of conflict resolution. With this on-the-ground experience combined with industry-leading science and research, Guinn and Eliot discovered people respond to conflict in one of five ways: avoid, compete, analyze, collaborate, or accommodate. Because our responses are ingrained byproducts of the subcortex in action, they are predictable. If you can predict how someone will behave in a given circumstance, you can formulate a game plan. The secret is knowing which of the five patterns someone is wired to use when smacked by a stressor. How to Get Along with Anyone is a pragmatic hands-on book to help you determine conflict types so you can navigate the arguments that emerge in day-to-day life. You’ll learn the formula for identifying your coworkers’ and loved ones’ conflict styles and how to use this information to foster better communication and more effective, collaboration. Filled with fun, engaging examples and actionable techniques, How to Get Along with Anyone teaches you how to predict and prevent escalated conflict, arming you with practical tools for flipping the script on sticking points to nurture stronger and more meaningful relationships.

One of the great promises of the Internet and big data revolutions is the idea that we can improve the processes and routines of our work and personal lives to get more done in less time than we ever have before. There is no doubt that we're performing at higher levels and moving at unprecedented speed, but what if we're headed in the wrong direction?Melding the long-term history of technology with the latest headlines and findings of computer science and social science, The Efficiency Paradox questions our ingrained assumptions about efficiency, persuasively showing how relying on the algorithms of digital platforms can in fact lead to wasted efforts, missed opportunities, and, above all, an inability to break out of established patterns. Edward Tenner reveals what we and our institutions, when equipped with an astute combination of artificial intelligence and trained intuition, can learn from the random and unexpected.

    Book SynopsisWhen trying to deal with our current troubles and anxieties, it can be deeply irritating to be asked to consider our childhoods. They happened so long ago; we can probably barely remember, let alone relate to, the little person we once were. But one of the most powerful explanations for why we may, as adults, be struggling, is that we were denied the opportunity to fully be ourselves in our earliest years. Perhaps we were over-disciplined and cowed, not allowed to be wilful or difficult – and so learnt to tell white lies and people-please. Or perhaps our caregivers were preoccupied or fragile and so we had to assume the role of parent, burying our true needs and desires deep underground. When we thoroughly examine our upbringings, the larger implications for our adult selves are clear to see. Once we understand the roots from which our flaws stem, we can set about correcting the harmful behaviours we mistakenly believe to be innate. This book is a guide to better understanding our younger selves in order to shape who we wish to be in the future. It explores to what extent we can pin our actions in the present to our experiences in the past, and how we might then break free from the learnt patterns of our childhoods.
