by Mike Berland&“My worst day of golf with friends is still one of the best days of my life,&” is a phrase Mike Berland lives by. The world of golf is rife with myths and misconceptions: golf is too expensive, golf is too hard, golf is an elitist sport, there&’s no access to golf courses, etc. Mike Berland, is not a professional.

It&’s about how each swing, each course, each day can always be better than the last. It's about hope, optimism, and enjoying nature with your community. It&’s not about golf. It&’s about you.
Not Afraid: On Fear, Heartbreak, Raising a Baby Girl, and Cage Fighting
by Daniele BolelliIn this memoir, the author and podcaster discusses his experiences in martial arts, the death of his wife, and raising his daughter as a single father.This book is a meditation on facing fear, heartbreak, and mortality. In his own irreverent and inimitable style, Daniele Bolelli tells the story of his courtship and marriage, which would have been a sweet story had all hell not broken loose. Or as he puts it, “Hell was a ninja who entered my house without being seen. It all began in such an unremarkable way that it barely registered as anything meaningful. Little did I know that the experiences of the next five months would rip me apart and kill me. They would re-forge me into a different man. On that day, I became an unwilling traveler on a journey through the heart of fear.”This is the story of a man who, in rapid succession, has his wife die in his arms, loses his house and his job, and is left to care for his nineteen-month-old daughter. Oddly enough, the best tools for coping with all of this were those he learned in more than two decades of martial arts practice. Not Afraid tackles this extremely heavy subject matter in a light-hearted style and with an attitude that acknowledges pain and suffering but denies them dominion over one’s life.Praise for Not Afraid“Not Afraid is an adventure story of the truest, deepest sort. You’ve never read a story like this or known a man like this.” —Chris Ryan, New York Times–bestselling author of Sex at Dawn“A true warrior poet, Daniele bleeds on these pages with fearless vulnerability and uncensored humor.” —Aubrey Marcus, writer and CEO of Onnit.com“Bolelli is a genius warrior philosopher. What he talks about here is the opposite of a victim’s mentality. By sharing the emotionally apocalyptic experience he has gone through, he gives a gift to anyone who is struggling with the dragon of fear and sadness.” —Duncan Trussell, comedian and host of the podcast The Duncan Trussell Family Hour

But seeking help only reinforces her negative self-image, and she discovers her race makes her an oddity in the all-white programs for eating disorders. This memoir of her experiences answers many questions about why black women often do not seek traditional therapy for emotional problems.

Not Buying It: Stop Overspending and Start Raising Happier, Healthier, More Successful Kids
by Brett GraffParents will do just about anything to give their kids happy lives and successful futures. Unfortunately, the drive to give kids the best of everything leads to a financial strategy based in fear and competition, and results in millions of dollars worth of unnecessary purchases. Enough is enough. In Not Buying It, Brett Graff, the "Home Economist,” separates the truth about what parents need for their kids to succeed from the fiction perpetuated by ads, peer pressure, and internal fear. Graff shows how parents can save up to a million dollars by investing the money they would otherwise spend on overpriced and unnecessary purchases for their kids. Graff exposes the many ways that overspending can actually harm kids by encouraging narcissism and unhealthy habits. Her tips range from the everyday (understand when supposedly "organic" products aren't worth the extra dollars) to the long-term (consider investing in a smaller home for your family, which encourages intimacy and connection), making this a valuable manual for all stages of a parent’s life. An essential book for new parents as well as parenting veterans, Not Buying It is the definitive guide for families who want to separate the truth about raising kids from the hype.
Not By Sight: Only Faith Opens Your Eyes
by Cash LunaTo walk by faith, one needs courage and humility because you need to shut your eyes to the pessimism of this world and be led by the promises of blessing your Heavenly Father has for you. Living by Faith, contrary to what many believe, is actually designed for superior minds with the ability to speak and act according to what really is true –the Word of God. Dare to always challenge your faith for it’s the most powerful and effective tool you have for daily living and extraordinary miracles of healing and provision in your daily life. Just believe and declare for supernatural results in your life!Press forward in faith and not by sight. Our senses can easily deceive us, but God’s care for us is eternal. I can bear witness to this time and time again first-hand. It’s not about vehemently declaring that we are believers, but about reflecting it every step of the way, even in the simplest and most mundane things. Because our faith in God is designed to sustain us in everything. It’s not a matter of religion but of everyday living. It’s about opening our eyes each morning and entrusting all that we are to God -all that we say, think, do, dream and desire. If we choose to activate our faith and work hard the right way, He’ll take care of the results in every area of our life, be they spiritual, emotional, physical, relational or financial.Living by faith in God is both simple and challenging at the same time. I always sum it up in this phrase: “Give yourself to the Lord.” This covers a number of things from knowing His Word where we find our identity and code of conduct, to our attitude in every situation in life, be it large or small.Whenever they ask me how is it possible to raise a ministry such as Casa de Dios, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it’s only been by believing God wholeheartedly, following His instructions and honoring Him for His faithfulness! 35 years of walking in faith has given me the assurance that God is never looking for perfect people but for humble hearts willing to believe Him at His Word. And if He could do with me what some deem impossible, then He can surely do it with you too, because I’m no more than a simple man who chose to walk the path that God selected. If you have a dream in your life, or goals to reach and projects to fulfill, then LIVE BY FAITH! If your one of those people that feel blessed and get up every morning wanting more, or perhaps you’re going through a difficult trial right now, no matter your situation, I can assure you that you’ll soon be sharing about a new season of miracles in your life! Live by faith!

Not Fade Away
by Rebecca Alexander Sascha Alper<P>Even a darkening world can be brilliantly lit from within. <P>Born with a rare genetic mutation called Usher Syndrome type III, Rebecca Alexander has been simultaneously losing both her sight and hearing since she was a child, and was told that she would likely be completely blind and deaf by age 30. Then, at 18, a fall from a window left her athletic body completely shattered. <P>None of us know what we would do in the face of such devastation. What Rebecca did was rise to every challenge she faced. She was losing her vision and hearing and her body was broken, but she refused to lose her drive, her zest for life and - maybe most importantly - her sense of humor. Now, at 35, with only a sliver of sight and significantly deteriorated hearing, she is a psychotherapist with two masters' degrees from Columbia University, and an athlete who teaches spin classes and regularly competes in extreme endurance races. She greets every day as if it were a gift, with boundless energy, innate curiosity, and a strength of spirit that have led her to places we can't imagine. <P>In Not Fade Away, Rebecca tells her extraordinary story, by turns harrowing, funny and inspiring. She meditates on what she's lost--from the sound of a whisper to seeing a sky full of stars, and what she's found in return--an exquisite sense of intimacy with those she is closest to, a love of silence, a profound gratitude for everything she still has, and a joy in simple pleasures that most of us forget to notice. <P>Not Fade Away is both a memoir of the senses and a unique look at the obstacles we all face--physical, psychological, and philosophical--exploring the extraordinary powers of memory, love, and perseverance. It is a gripping story, an offering of hope and motivation, and an exquisite reminder to live each day to its fullest.
Not God Enough: Why Your Small God Leads to Big Problems
by David Jeremiah J. D. GreearYour God is too small.We like God small. We prefer a God who is safe, domesticated, who thinks like we think, likes what we like, and whom we can manage, predict, and control. A small God is convenient. Practical. Manageable.The truth: God is big. Bigger than big. Bigger than all the words we use to say big.Ironically, many today seem turned off by the concept of an awesome, terrifyingly great God. We assume that a God you would need to fear is guilty of some kind of fault. For us, thinking of God as so infinitely greater and wiser than we are and who would cause us to tremble in his presence is a leftover relic from an oppressive, archaic view of religion.But what if this small version of God we’ve created is holding us back from the greatest experience of our lives—from genuine, confident, world-transforming faith?In Not God Enough, J.D. reveals how to discover a God who:is big enough to handle your questions, doubts, and fearsis not silentis worthy of worshipwants to take you from boring to bold in your faithhas a purpose and mission for you on earthis pursuing you right nowGod is not just a slightly better, slightly smarter version of you. God is infinite and glorious, and an encounter with Him won’t just change the way you think about your faith. It’ll change your entire life.

Not Guilty
by Nicolette RubinszteinCan career mums have a fulfilling career and a happy family? Director, strategy expert, actuary, former General Manager at the Commonwealth Bank and mother of three, Nicolette Rubinsztein experienced the tough journey of juggling motherhood and her career. Both were important to her, but the status quo was brutal.

In Not Guilty, Nicolette gives career mums the practical tools to approach their work and life through the lens of strategy and business decision-making rather than emotion and guilt. Learn why flexibility is nirvana for career mums, how to get a part-time position, getting on the same page as your partner, curating your "childcare jigsaw", the importance of outsourcing and how to have a good relationship with your boss. Structured according to the McKinsey 7S strategic framework, one of the most well known strategic frameworks used for business, Not Guilty is a call to arms and saving grace for women who want to make career and motherhood work, but don't know where to start.
Not I, But Christ
by Stephen F. OlfordAdapted from the book jacket: Stephen Olford clearly expounds the profound 'secret' to living the Christian life summarized in Galatians 2:20. This book is Warmly illustrated with personal anecdotes, stories from the lives of great Christians ancient and modern, and powerful biblical examples. The author has captured the classic evangelical doctrine of sanctification and expressed it for a new generation. The key to victorious living is not a philosophy to be learned, nor deeper doctrinal insight to be grasped; it is not some new spiritual discipline to be practiced, but the simple yet profound reality that the risen Lord Jesus Christ wishes to live out His life through ordinary believers, by the power of His Holy Spirit who resides within them. Note: The indexes did not scan well, and were deleted.
Not Impossible
by Mick EbelingWhat if you discovered by accident that you could change the world? Mick Ebeling--a film producer by trade, optimist by nature--set out to perform a simple act of kindness that quickly turned into a lifelong mission. In the process he discovered that he could, indeed, change the world--and this fascinating new book shows how you can, too.On the cutting edge of the new "Maker Movement"--an outgrowth of the "hackers" of a decade ago--Mick Ebeling has found ways to create new, simple, do-it-yourself technologies to help people surmount seemingly impossible odds. With a bunch of nuts and bolts, a few jimmy-rigged web cameras and a coat hanger, he got a paralyzed artist drawing again; for less than a hundred bucks, he made prosthetic arms for a boy whose arms had been blown off in the war in Sudan. From the beginning, Ebeling has dreamed big, but that doesn't mean his accomplishments have come easy. He's had to deal with the little voice in his head we all recognize--the skeptical, disbelieving part that says, "Sorry, this ain't happening." Yet he found the courage to ignore that voice and move on. And believe. And get things done. The first result was the Eyewriter, which Time magazine called one of the "Top 50 Inventions of 2010," a device that tracks eye movements and translates them into a cursor on a screen, then into paint on a canvas or a sculpture design. Later he travelled to the Sudan with the homemade prosthetic hand his team created and taught the locals to use the 3D printers--now every week another armless boy gets new working limbs and hands. Fascinating, inspiring, and bursting with optimism and new ideas, Not Impossible is a true testament to the power of determination. It will motivate you to accept the idea that all problems can be solved--and that you have the ability to change the world and make miracles happen.
Not In Your Genes: The real reasons children are like their parents
by Oliver JamesProfessor Robert Plomin, the world’s leading geneticist, said in 2014 of his search for genes that explain differences in our psychology: ‘I have been looking for these genes for fifteen years. I don’t have any’.Using a mixture of famous and ordinary people, Oliver James drills deep down into the childhood causes of our individuality, revealing why our upbringing, not our genes, plays such an important role in our wellbeing and success. The implications are huge: as adults we can change, we can clutch our fates from predetermined destiny, as parents we can radically alter the trajectory of our childrens’ lives, and as a society we could largely eradicate criminality and poverty.Not in Your Genes will not only change the way you think about yourself and the people around you, but give you the fuel to change your personality and your life for the better.
