by Katherine PasourWith practical strategies and achievable goals, Honoring God with My Body encourages believers to seek and maintain a healthier lifestyle for a lifetime.

These dimensions are interdependent; each powerfully impacts the other and overall health and well-being. When these aspects of health are in balance and harmony, the human body—which is “fearfully and wonderfully made,” according to Psalm 139:14—can achieve wellness. Katherinemerges scriptural guidance with her knowledge of healthy lifestyle practices into a nine-week Bible study that provides encouragement for participants as they embark on their journey to wellness. Within Honoring God with My Body, readers will find an introductory week followed by eight weeks of specific focus on various topics. Each section emphasizes the interdependence of health’s different aspects and dimensions in conjunction with God’s great love for His people, explaining how His support and guidance is available to all who seek it.

Hood Wellness: Tales of Communal Care from People Who Drowned on Dry Land
by Tamela J. Gordon&“A funny, thought-provoking, and profound memoir about the intersection of Blackness and health. Gordon&’s vision of a more just future feels both inspiring and possible.&” — Kirkus Starred ReviewWhat does self-care look like when struggling to make ends meet, living with a disability, or navigating intersectional marginalization? How can you prioritize well-being while divesting from systems built to destroy you? The answer: Hood Wellness, a groundbreaking exploration that challenges the oppressive systems deeply rooted in health and wellness industries in the United States. In a world where self-care is critical to survival, Gordon offers a revolutionary perspective that celebrates individuals' unique privileges, challenges, and desires. By defying the norms of multi-billion-dollar industries, Hood Wellness illuminates the possibilities that emerge when we prioritize well-being while divesting from harmful structures. Hood Wellness is also a deep exploration of people forced to overcome harrowing circumstances with little more than communal support and the will to get well. From terminal illness and police violence to embracing gender identity in a society that's attacking trans and queer rights, each story reflects America's extreme political, racial, and gender climates. Gordon challenges everything we think we know about wellness by calling out the wellness industry's inability to include those outside the margins of white, heteronormative identities. She lays plain that self-care as we know it is mostly just surface-level "cute," and communal care is the call-to-action that America needs. Drawing on elements of memoir, self-help, humor, critical race theory, and devastatingly honest storytelling, Gordon guides readers on a transformative journey toward a new paradigm of wellness. This compelling book serves as a beacon, empowering individuals to cultivate resilience and self-love in today's world. As Gordon shares her personal odyssey, she intertwines the stories of others, revealing her profound discoveries, triumphs, and passions related to self-care. Hood Wellness introduces readers to an inclusive and accessible self-care primer and an approach to well-being that holds the potential to bring about profound change in their lives.

Combining the New Testament teachings of Peter and the insignts of one of the most popular authors of our day, Hope Again is an encouraging, enlivening and refreshing look at why we dare to hope no matter who we are, no matter what we face.

Hope Is a Decision
by Daisaku IkedaWhat do we do when we’ve lost all hope? Is hope something found or something made? What can one person do against the vast forces that run our world? How do we remain optimistic when the world seems to be falling apart around us? Renowned Buddhist thinker and peace activist Daisaku Ikeda has spent his life wrestling with essential questions such as these. In these intimate essays—selected from more than forty years of his works—he shares his inspirational journey to find answers and hope in troubled times. Growing up a “child of war,” Ikeda shares vivid stories that lie at the root of his lifelong dedication to creating peace: his homes burning down during the Tokyo fire bombings of World War II, his eldest brother’s death on the frontlines in Burma, his encounter with an American airman who parachuted into his neighborhood after his B29 was shot down. Ikeda’s incisive commentaries on terrorism, good and evil, aging and death give us new perspectives on approaching the world with hope. Lyrical reflections on poetry and friendship highlight how such spiritual pursuits are the wellsprings hope in dark times. Each essay suggests ways in which each of us can connect our personal search for strength, wisdom, and hope to the collective desire to bring about a just, humane, and caring society. In Hope Is a Decision, Daisaku Ikeda invites us to dig deeper into our own lives so that we can change the world around us.
