A Uterus Is a Feature, Not a Bug: The Working Woman's Guide to Overthrowing the Patriarchy
by Sarah LacyA rallying cry for working mothers everywhere that demolishes the "distracted, emotional, weak" stereotype and definitively shows that these professionals are more focused, decisive, and stronger than any other force.Working mothers aren’t a liability. They are assets you—and every manager and executive—want in your company, in your investment portfolio, and in your corner. There is copious academic research showing the benefits of working mothers on families and the benefits to companies who give women longer and more flexible parental leave. There are even findings that demonstrate women with multiple children actually perform better at work than those with none or one. Yet despite this concrete proof that working mothers are a lucrative asset, they still face the "Maternal Wall"—widespread unconscious bias about their abilities, contributions, and commitment. Nearly eighty percent of women are less likely to be hired if they have children—and are half as likely to be promoted. Mothers earn an average $11,000 less in salary and are held to higher punctuality and performance standards. Forty percent of Silicon Valley women said they felt the need to speak less about their family to be taken more seriously. Many have been told that having a second child would cost them a promotion. Fortunately, this prejudice is slowly giving way to new attitudes, thanks to more women starting their own businesses, and companies like Netflix, Facebook, Apple, and Google implementing more parent-friendly policies. But the most important barrier to change isn’t about men. Women must rethink the way they see themselves after giving birth. As entrepreneur Sarah Lacy makes clear in this cogent, persuasive analysis and clarion cry, the strongest, most lucrative, and most ambitious time of a woman’s career may easily be after she sees a plus sign on a pregnancy test.

A Vision of Jesus: The Awesome Jesus of Revelation
by R.T. KendallWhat if Genesis through Revelation is just the beginning of knowing who God is? This book will guide you into a deeper understanding and intimacy with God as you study who He is as the resurrected King. You will have a better grasp of the book of Revelation and who Jesus is revealed in this powerful part of Scripture. The image we have of Jesus is one that affects the way we act as Christians and the way we take the gospel to the world. That image has sometimes been reflected badly because we do not have a fully rounded image of the Jesus we love and worship. Indeed, some modern concepts of Jesus in the church would be difficult to worship. In Revelation 1, Jesus appears in a vision given to the apostle John. It is an awesome, majestic vision. The Bible, perhaps intentionally, doesn&’t give us much information about what Jesus looked like in human form. Yet here in John&’s apocalyptic book, God gives us an image that transcends the incarnation, an image of Jesus we can really focus on. In A Vision of Jesus, respected Bible teacher R.T. Kendall mines Revelation 1 to show readers: The unique promise of the Book of Revelation What Revelation teaches us about how to handle guilt, jealousy, and the unexpected Who God is and how Jesus is the fulfilment of the Old Testament pictures, as well as our great High Priest, the King, and more In these pages, Kendall guides readers toward a faith enriched by a more complete image of the Savior. Engaging and enlightening, this book will inspire Christians to renew their devotion to Jesus and share His transformative love with the world.

A Visão Impecável
by Dada BhagwanAqueles que procuram levar uma vida espiritual irão naturalmente perguntar-se como progredir na espiritualidade, e como viver os valores espirituais. Deve-se transcender de alguma forma o bem e o mal, o certo e o errado? Quando é que o desenvolvimento espiritual começa verdadeiramente? Iluminação por definição, o fundamento de uma vida espiritual é uma visão de mundo sem falhas; e para alcançar tal visão, é necessária a autorrealização. No livro "The Flawless Vision", Gnani Purush (personificação do autoconhecimento) Dada Bhagwan declara: "Quando uma pessoa não tem Autorrealização (iluminação espiritual), vê sempre falhas nos outros e nunca pode ver o seu próprio erro". Dadashri explica como atingir o Ser - descrevendo que o conhecimento do Ser é o início da verdadeira espiritualidade. Um resultado automático e um dos sinais mais proeminentes do despertar espiritual, é uma visão sem falhas de todo o mundo. Entre os muitos livros espirituais disponíveis hoje em dia dos professores espirituais, "The Flawless Vision" é uma visão única e preciosa.

A Voice in the Wilderness: God's Presence in Your Desert Places
by Charles H. Dyer'The Bible is not a sterile Book immaculately conceived in some sort of mystical, holy vacuum. Though God is the ultimate Author, He used human writers as His instruments. And to interpret properly His Word we must enter their world. The bleating of sheep on barren hills, the mournful wail of a ram's horn trumpet on the temple steps, the harsh clang of sword hitting sword in epic battle hang like tapestries in the background of every page.' - Excerpt from A Voice in the Wilderness. Life's struggles can make us feel as if we're wandering in the desert, thirsty for hope and healing. Using Isaiah 40 as a backdrop, best-selling author Charles Dyer takes us on a journey through ancient Judea for a vivid reminder that others before us have known suffering - and, just as God was present for them in their pain, He will walk with us through our wilderness.

A Walk with Jane Austen: A Journey into Adventure, Love, and Faith
by Lori SmithAt thirty-three, Lori Smith found herself falling short of her expectations: single, facing a difficult job, and sinking fast into something like depression. She needed a change. So, instead of waiting for her Darcy to present himself, she makes the long-awaited leap, leaving her job and country to travel through Jane Austen's England. On an adventure of multi-layered discovery, Lori leads readers through Jane's life and the landscapes she knew and loved - from Oxford to Bath, to London and the Hampshire countryside - and through her own emotional landscapes, in which grace and hope take the place of stagnation and despair. Along the way, we explore the small things and the great things, both meanness and goodness in relationships, to discover what Austen herself knew: the joy of life, however ordinary or unexpected.
A Way Back to Health: 12 Lessons from a Cancer Survivor
by Kelley SkolodaKelley Skoloda was the healthiest person she knew—until the day she became a cancer patient. During her first, routine colonoscopy—without having experienced any symptoms—Kelley received a shocking diagnosis: colon cancer. Based on the true story of her subsequent cancer journey, A Way Back to Health reveals how surprising lessons paved the way for her recovery, shares helpful action steps for those who find themselves in a similar situation, and illuminates how personal stories can powerfully motivate and heal. In addition to telling her own story, Kelley also features examples of how other, amazing survivors have learned to manage, survive and thrive in the face of cancer. She also explores how often overlooked actions, such as trusting your instincts, speaking up, getting a second opinion, and watching for miracles, can have a profound impact on recovery—lessons meant to help patients advocate for themselves and help friends, family, and caregivers as they wrestle with cancer and its treatment. Much more prevalent than COVID-19, cancer will affect one in three people directly, and many more indirectly, in their lifetime. A Way Back to Health, with its real-life stories and unexpected lessons, is a helpful and relatable guide to the most important information you need to know about cancer—for the time you need it most.
