Goodbye, Dear Friend: Coming to Terms with the Death of a Pet
by Virginia IronsideLosing a pet causes real grief—this book provides real understanding, comfort, and support to help you heal.It’s not odd, crazy or maladjusted to cry and feel utterly lost when a pet dies. Often that pet has been a close friend, uncritical, loyal, and devoted—bringing us countless hours of peaceful companionship and joyful play. There is no need to keep grief hidden or wonder why we can’t immediately “replace” our dead pet. Feelings deserve understanding and respect—not dismissive comments like “it’s just a cat” or “why don’t you get another dog?” that, even if well-meaning, can cause enormous distress to those who are mourning a genuine loss.Goodbye, Dear Friend acknowledges both the extent and depth of grief of a pet. Based on an avalanche of letters about pet loss the author has received at her advice column, as well as the experiences of historical figures like Sigmund Freud and Sir Walter Scott, the book takes us through the process of grieving, delving into such topics as putting a pet to sleep; taking comfort in memorials; and whether there is a pet heaven. With a list of further resources included, Goodbye, Dear Friend is essential for every pet owner, young or old, and will bring great solace at a time when one can feel most alone.

Goodbye, Status Quo: Reimagining the Landscape of Innovation
by Joan FallonIn Goodbye, Status Quo, visionary scientist and leading entrepreneur Dr. Joan Fallon equips readers with the tools to overcome obstacles and become agents of change—as entrepreneurs, leaders, and individuals.In Goodbye, Status Quo, Dr. Joan Fallon equips her readers with the tools to be agents of change: as entrepreneurs, leaders, and individuals. No matter where you come from or who you are, you can be an agent of change. If you are setting out to change the world—great, she affirms—just keep in mind that change must start with you. As a company founder, Dr. Fallon faced many obstacles. Some of the greatest ones came from how other people saw her. A woman in her fifties with a warm, approachable manner, she didn&’t fit the typical entrepreneur profile. Now as a respected business leader, doctor, and academic who sits on the boards of numerous non-profits and is frequently asked to mentor others, Joan is driven to share what she has learned and the perspectives that brought her success. She is also fascinated by the subject of change. What are the impediments that keep leaders and individuals from changing the world, or even just changing themselves, and how can they be overcome? What is it about you that holds you, your job, or your company back from changing? Joan Fallon believes that deductive reasoning in addition to the typical inductive reasoning and other science-based approaches allow us to move past the reactive responses that leave us stuck, unable to innovate and make change. Fear-based thinking rules in many sectors today—in business, politics, even relationships. And fear is the fundamental factor that holds us back from embracing change. Goodbye, Status Quo blends lessons from Joan&’s own entrepreneurial experiences and scientific observations to give readers informative and actionable advice on the topics of entrepreneurship, innovation, and making change. Each chapter offers pithy advice that taps into business, medicine, philosophy, and even baseball.

Gorilla and the Bird: A memoir of madness and a mother's love
by Zack McDermott'One of the gems of the year' - Michele Magwood, Sunday Times (Books LIVE SA)The story of a young man fighting to recover from a devastating psychotic break and the mother who refuses to give up on him.Zack McDermott, a twenty-six-year-old Brooklyn public defender, woke up one morning convinced he was being filmed as part of an audition for a TV pilot. Every passerby was an actor; every car would magically stop for him; everything he saw was a cue from 'The Producer' to help inspire the performance of a lifetime. After a manic spree around Manhattan, Zack, who is bipolar, was arrested on a subway platform and admitted to hospital. So begins the story of Zack's free fall into psychosis and his desperate, poignant, often darkly funny struggle to claw his way back to sanity, regain his identity, and rebuild some semblance of a stable life. It's a journey that will take him from New York City back to his Kansas roots and to the one person who might be able to save him, his tough, bighearted Midwestern mother, nicknamed the Bird, whose fierce and steadfast love is the light in Zack's dark world. Before his odyssey is over, Zack will be tackled by guards in mental wards, run naked through cornfields, receive secret messages from the TV, befriend a former Navy SEAL and his talking stuffed monkey and see the Virgin Mary in the whorls of his own back hair. But with the Bird's help, he just might have a shot at pulling through, starting over, and maybe even meeting a woman who can love him back, bipolar and all. Written with raw emotional power, humor, and tenderness, Gorilla and the Bird is a bravely honest account of a young man's unraveling and the relationship that saves him.
Gospel Conversations: How to Care Like Christ (Equipping Biblical Counselors)
by Brian Croft Robert W. KellemenHow does a person learn to counsel others with the truth of God’s Word? Bob Kellemen believes that the best way to learn counseling is by doing it—by giving and receiving biblical counseling in the context of real, raw Christian community. Gospel Conversations explores the four compass-points of biblical counseling: Sustaining: “It’s Normal to Hurt.” Healing: “It’s Possible to Hope.” Reconciling: “It’s Horrible to Sin, but Wonderful to Be Forgiven.” Guiding: “It’s Supernatural to Mature.” These four compass points combine to equip readers to develop twenty-two ministry relational competencies—the “how to” of caring like Christ. This book serves as a practical training manual that can be used for lab and small group interaction. Gospel Conversations is the second volume in The Equipping Biblical Counselors Series, a comprehensive relational training curriculum for the local church that provides a model for equipping God’s people to change lives with Christ’s changeless truth. This two-volume series weaves together comprehensive biblical insight with compassionate Christian engagement.

Bob Kellemen builds on the foundation of the written Word and provides a gospel-centered resource for understanding people, diagnosing problems, and prescribing biblically-based solutions.

Government and Christianity: A Sermon for the Times
by Joseph Augustus SeissGovernment and Christianity: A Sermon for the Times by Joseph Augustus Seiss is a thought-provoking and timely discourse on the relationship between civil authority and Christian faith. Delivered during a period of political and social upheaval in the 19th century, Seiss offers a compelling argument for the compatibility of governance and Christianity, emphasizing the role of faith in fostering justice, order, and moral responsibility within society.Seiss contends that effective governance must be rooted in divine principles, asserting that Christianity provides the ethical foundation necessary for laws and institutions to serve the common good.

Gozo al instante: El arte de descubrir la felicidad interi
by Chade-Meng TanLa tan esperada continuación al best seller del New York Times Busca en tu interior, nos enseña cómo cultivar el gozo dentro del contexto de nuestras vidas agitadas y nos explica por qué clave para nuestra creatividad, innovación, seguridad y en última instancia, el éxito en todos los aspectos. En este libro, Chade-Meng Tan nos muestra que no necesitamos meditar durante días, meses o años para lograr un gozo permanente. De hecho, podemos lograr un acceso constante, en tan solo quince segundos. Explicando el gozo y la meditación como cosas complementarias, que se refuerzan mutuamente de forma natural, Meng explica cómo estas dos habilidades forman entre sí un círculo vicioso, y una vez puestas en marcha se convierten en una práctica sólida que podemos mantener en nuestra vida cotidiana. Durante muchos años, se ha enseñado y practicado la meditación en culturas donde casi todos los meditadores la practican a tiempo completo durante años, lo cual resulta en programas de entrenamiento perfeccionados para los que practican la meditación con una gran cantidad de tiempo libre y sin mucho más que hacer que desarrollar un profundo dominio sobre la mente. Viendo una desconexión entre la práctica tradicional y el mundo moderno, el autor best seller ha desarrollado un programa por medio de una «pereza sabia» con el fin de ayudar a los lectores a meditar con mayor eficiencia y eficacia. Meng nos comparte acerca de los tres pilares del gozo (la paz interior, la comprensión y la felicidad); dice por qué el gozo es el secreto del éxito, y presenta las herramientas prácticas que todos podemos usar para cultivarlo.
Gozo desafiante: Aferrarse a la esperanza, la belleza y la vida en un mundo que sufre
by Stasi EldredgeEstamos llamados a “estar siempre gozosos” (1 Ts. 5.16). ¿Qué significa esto, y cómo puede ser posible?Todos gastamos mucha energía buscando la felicidad, pero no somos capaces de aferrarnos a ella. Cosas suceden en la vida real, y nuestras circunstancias nos llevan por un viaje de altas y bajas. Entonces, el llamado que nos hace la Biblia a "estar siempre gozosos" parece una locura, y fuera de alcance. Pero no tiene que ser así.Debemos tener gozo, un gozo tan grande que desafíe a este mundo caído. Este gozo no es simplemente felicidad con esteroides; es la seguridad inquebrantable de que el dolor y la pérdida no tienen la última palabra. Es la firme determinación que se manifiesta en cualquier situación para interpretar tanto la bondad como el dolor a la luz de las Escrituras.En Gozo desafiante, Stasi Eldredge, con valentía, sinceridad y vulnerabilidad nos invita a un lugar más allá de la tristeza o la felicidad. Nos muestra cómo mantener una postura desafiante que no niega ni resta importancia a nuestro dolor, sino que se atreve a vivir con una esperanza inquebrantable.
Grace & Style: The Art of Pretending You Have It
by Grace HelbigFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grace's Guide and the host of The Grace Helbig Show on E! comes a beautifully illustrated, tongue-in-cheek book about style that lampoons fashion and beauty guides while offering practical advice in Grace Helbig's trademark sweet and irreverent voice.It's clear to see I'm a style icon; remember, you can't spell icon without "con." I love clothes, accessories, and makeup as much as the next lady, man, French bulldog in a sweater, or child whose parents dressed her in a couture Halloween costume, but telling people how they should look doesn't suit me (clothes pun!). I have no authority in that department (I barely even shop in department stores). Instead this is a look at my own silly and nonsensical approach to style, and I promise only some of it is about sweatpants. This book is one part entertainment, one part irreverent fashion fun, and one part personal experience, including: -My closet staples and jewelry MVPs, and what's actually in my makeup bag -All about BLTs and BFFS...that is, Better-Looking T-Shirts and Best Feet Friends -The bad-hair-day character wheel -The Ten Commandments of online shopping -A handy flowchart to help you decide "Should I actually buy this?" -Red-carpet ridiculousness -Grace Expectations: What your denim says about you -And MORE! I'm not stylish--I'm self-aware. I'm not polished--I'm perceptive. I'm not trendy--but I love trying. Because when it comes down to it, "style" is just a simple way of saying "I showered."
