Stressed is Desserts Spelled Backwards: Rising Above Life's Challenges with Humor, Hope and Courage
by Brian Luke SeawardSeaward says: "One of the most important lessons I've learned is that it's not what happens to us, but our reaction to what happens to us that causes us stress." He shows us how to learn this lesson, too. Then he continues: "And that means we have the power to control our level of stress. We, in fact, have the power to choose not to react at all to that which happens around us. It is not what life brings to us that determines our level of happiness and self-fulfillment. It is the attitude we bring to life. The most important decision we can make each day is our choice of attitude. It is what will spur us on or stand in our way." Since we are in charge of our attitude, we are the architects of our lives."

The Green Belt Movement
by Wangari MaathaiWhen Kenyan environmental and democracy activist Wangari Maathai became the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004, she capped a life full of firsts. She was the first African woman to earn a Ph.D. in Eastern and Central Africa, and the first woman to attain associate profes¬sorship and to hold a department chair at the University of Nairobi. In 1977, shocked at the environmental devastation caused by deforestation in her beloved Kenya, Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement (GBM). For twenty-seven years, GBM has enabled many people-particularly women-to plant trees in their regions, providing them with food and fuel, and halting soil erosion and desertification. GBM became much more than that, however. It became a movement for representative democracy that led to Kenya's 'first fully democratic elections in a generation, during which Maathai was elected to Parliament and made a minister for the environment. The Green Belt Movement: Sharing the Approach and the Experience is the story of the Green Belt Movement in Wangari Maathai's own words. It reveals the struggles and the structure of this extraordinary effort to reforest a vast region and free a people. Over the course of its history, nearly 30 million trees have been planted, and tens of thousands of people have earned a livelihood. The Green Belt Movement is the inspiring story of people working at the grassroots level to improve their environment and their country. Their story offers ideas about a new and hopeful future for Africa and the rest of the world.

Psalms/Now
by Leslie F. Brandt"Psalm 23: The Lord is my constant companion. There is no need that He cannot fulfill. Whether His course for me points to the mountaintops of glorious ecstasy or to the valleys of human suffering, He is by my side, He is ever present with me. He is close beside me when I tread the dark streets of danger, and even when I flirt with death itself, He will not leave me. When the pain is severe, He is near to comfort. When the burden is heavy, He is there to lean upon. When depression darkens my soul, He touches me with eternal joy. When I feel empty and alone, He fills the aching vacuum with His power. My security is in His promise to be near to me always, and in the knowledge that He will never let me go." Brandt brings to the contemporary reader a rewriting of the Old Testament Psalms which is encouraging, devotional, inspiring, and majestic.
