Phnom Penh, Cambodia, 1975.
After a sudden and violent takeover by the Khmer Rouge army, there is a mass exodus of the city. A young pharmacy student is held captive at a work camp, along with countless others, in a world turned upside down. Overnight, the brutal Khmer Rouge army have new rules for all citizens: medicine, education, money and family ties are now illegal. The girl finds the strength to survive day by day with the support of her sister and brother.
Far away, in another camp, a mother longs to find her three missing children. A prison escape, a storm on a lake and a providential meeting are all twists of fate along the path to find her surviving family. But with no money and no one to help, what will become of them?
Nearly 40 years after the fall of the Khmer Rouge, The Girl Who Said Goodbye is a true story of a brave young girl, her strong mother, and the selfless love of her brothers and sisters.
Gender Identity. Pornography. Hook-up culture. Same-Sex Attraction. Masturbation. Abuse.
These issues are the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what our children are being forced to
navigate at increasingly younger ages. As a parent, are you leading your family in conversations, so that your voice is the first one they hear on these sensitive issues? Do you
know what the Bible says--and doesn't say--on the issues surrounding sexuality and gender?
Do your children know what you believe and why you believe it?
You are not alone if you feel as though you don't know how and when to have these
conversations. Many parents worry about having The Talk with their children because they
are concerned about bringing it up too early, they are uncomfortable talking about sex, or they
feel unprepared to answer questions that their child might ask. In I Can't Say That , Dr. Gilbert
walks parents through age-appropriate conversations and teaches parents how to create a
culture of conversation through micro-conversations.
In his roles as a counselor and professor, Dr. Gilbert has heard repeatedly from young adults
that they never had conversations about the complicated issues surrounding sexuality with
their parents and they wish that they had. His motivation in I Can't Say That is to equip
parents with the information they need so that they can in turn equip their children to make
choices from a biblical sexual ethic.
This guide is written specifically to help teenagers navigate the complex issues of sexuality, pornography, gender, and relationships
The goal is for YOU to make informed and wise decisions founded in a biblical worldview of God's design for you and your relationships.
Each chapter concludes with questions and space for you to think for yourself and develop your own Biblical Sexual Ethic.
The choices you make now will significantly shape your future.

The room started to spin uncontrollably. The air felt so heavy that it would be impossible for the sharpest blade of a knife to slice its way through it.
I heard voices all around me, yet I couldn't make out a single word. The sounds were very muffled and distant. The room was spinning I became dizzy. I felt someone grabbing my arms in an attempt to hold me up off the cold hard ground. Could this actually be happening? I remember screaming out loudly for all to hear, silencing the muffled distance voices, NOT AGAIN I CAN'T HANDLE THIS AGAIN
No one ever dreams of having their life stripped away, crumbling away with no warning. Certainly no one expects it to happen twice. This is the true story of love, strength, perseverance, compassion and loss.
MANIFEST YOUR SPARK
Aeon, the blood of the soul, was granted to us by Sophia, our Savior. When our Savior sacrificed her body to seal away the vile Demiurge, she inserted fragments of her spirit within the souls of humanity. Since those dark times, the human race has learned to channel our Savior's aeon to form Sparks, supernatural abilities based on the lost legends spoken centuries ago. These spark users known as psychics are blessed with great power, which is difficult to perfect. It takes years to master how to create fire, ice, wind, poison, chains, turn into a simian, create glyphs, heal thyself and others, grow wings or even kill what is unkillable.
Fortunately, there is an academy that can help young psychics unlock their potential for the betterment of humanity. But they must learn fast. Some psychics have abused Sophia's gifts for their own selfish sake. The new generation must learn quickly in order to secure a brighter future. And Rooster Squad is one hundred and ten percent devoted to that cause. Whether or not they are ready for this task is for you to decide.
I know what I have to do, I just have to do it. How many times have you said this to yourself in regards to your diet or exercise routine? You're not alone. As women, we've been conditioned to believe that this is something that should be important to us. But most women spend their lives on a quest for that perfect plan only to get stuck in a cycle of failure and guilt. Rachel Aldrich Rader was one of these women for most of her life even as she was working as a personal trainer and trying to set an example for others
In Stop Making Yourself Miserable, Rachel draws on her own personal and professional experience to show why this all or nothing line of thinking does not create the results you're looking for - despite what the fitness industry would have you believe. Instead, she dissects the thought processes and beneath-the-surface beliefs that hold women back and gives practical, simple advice to empower you to create the healthy lifestyle you've always wanted. No guilt, no perfectionism, no gross green smoothies.

How did such a socially inept, unscarred, high school marching band geek, chess club nerd, piano-playing, teetotaling mama's boy wind up with a parachute on his back, a knife in his teeth, and a team of America's finest warriors following him out of an aircraft's jump door into the night?
How did he get there? How did he STAY there? And why did he try so hard to do something so out of character for himself? Through the first two volumes (and 42 short stories) of his In Wolf's Clothing trilogy, the author chronicled his unlikely rise from naïve teenaged civilian to an elite U.S. Air Force Combat Controller, circa 1977 and 1978. Now here in Book 3 - The Pretender, these 18 vignettes describe his final ten months in detail, through his last schools, exercises, and deployments, to the convoluted path he had to follow to get out of the spec ops business when all the rules said he couldn't. It was a wild ride through exotic realms, experienced by a dorky misguided wannabe, then later retold by a self-deprecating middle-aged smart-ass. What's not to like?

In the end, the book reminds readers that books sometimes get lonely sitting unopened in a pile, or on a shelf, and to remember if you want to make yourself, or a book, very happy then, Go Read.
Go Read is designed to help kids learn the alphabet in a fun-filled way and to inspire them to read. Research shows that kids who are avid readers tend to get better grades and have a better chance of being happier, healthier and more confident.
Written and illustrated by best-selling, award-winning, children's book author and motivational speaker, Trevor Romain, Go Read is designed to be read to kids in the kindergarten age range.
