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!

by Amanda E. WhiteIn this honest discussion of mental health, the founder of Therapy for Women explores our reasons for drinking alcohol—and the benefits of taking a break.

Not Everyone is Going to Like You: Thoughts From a Former People Pleaser
by Rinny PerkinsA debut illustrated manifesto by Rinny Perkins (@RinnyRiot) about what she's learned as a queer Black woman through the art of self-validation.In this graphic collection of mini essays, comedian Rinny Perkins illustrates her experiences as the owner of a popular online shop while she figures out antidepressant prescriptions and the seemingly never-ending dating-app cycle.

Houston, Texas to Los Angeles — the author traces her journey to understanding that whether through a friendship break-up or saving up for a Telfar bag, the only person who can truly validate us is ourselves. With 1970s-inspired graphics like a "When To Quit Your Job" checklist and Microaggressions Bingo, Not Everyone's Going to Like You is a long DM of affirmations from Rinny to herself on how to get through life. Her advice? Stop ignoring your intuition, ignore perfection, and leave them on read.
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.

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.

The same year, his parents launched their business, and they had to keep it going strong, even while living full-time at the hospital for months on end. For the next five years, Erica and Mike Schultz learned how to balance the demands of their jobs, commuting to the hospital, and spending time with their growing family—along the way, noting the tricks and techniques that allowed them to get work done, even while living in the cardiac ICU and later through heartbreaking loss.

Not Too Late: The Power of Pushing Limits at Any Age
by Gwendolyn BoundsAn award-winning journalist tells the inspiring story of her unlikely midlife journey to master the daunting sport of obstacle course racing—a powerful, science-based account of the change possible at any age when we push limits.&“This story of personal transformation is thrilling.&”—Gretchen Rubin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project and Life in Five SensesIn her midforties, Gwendolyn Bounds attended a dinner party where someone asked a little girl: &“What do you want to be when you grow up?&” It struck Bounds: In middle age, no one asks you that anymore. So she put the question to herself. The answer set her on an unexpected five-year path of transformation from an unathletic office executive glued to her screens to an age-group medalist and world championship competitor in obstacle course racing—a demanding military-style sport requiring speed, endurance, mobility, and strength. In Not Too Late, Bounds explores how tackling something new and hard upended her expectations for middle age—while also helping her reconcile regrets of her youth. Her story takes us from playgrounds and gyms, where Bounds relearns childhood movements (swinging from monkey bars, climbing a rope); to far-flung Spartan Race courses, where she strives to master running in difficult terrain and to conquer challenges such as scaling tall walls, crawling under barbed wire, and carrying heavy loads of rocks up mountains. Bounds&’s journey offers inspiration and a road map for anyone craving more out of life. Woven through Not Too Late are insights from scientists, longevity doctors, philosophers, elite athletes, and performance experts on how to reimagine our limits and who we think we are. Through Bounds&’s story, as she changes her body and mindset, we learn about humans&’ capacity to tap inner reserves, face fears, locate intrinsic motivation, and push boundaries at any life stage.Ultimately, one message prevails: When unleashing our full potential, age can be a secret weapon.
Not What I Expected
by Daniel J. Siegel Rita EichensteinA pediatric neuropsychologist presents strategies to help parents of special-needs children navigate the emotional challenges they face.As diagnosis rates continue to rise for autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other developmental differences, parents face a maze of medical, psychological, and educational choices - and a great deal of emotional stress. Many books address children's learning or behavior problems and advise parents what they can do to help their kids, but until Not What I Expected: Help and Hope for Parents of Atypical Children there were no books that explain what the parents are going through - and how they can cope with their own emotional upheaval - for their own sake, and for the wellbeing of the whole family. With compassion, clarity, and an emphasis on practical solutions, Dr. Rita Eichenstein's Not What I Expected: Help and Hope for Parents of Atypical Children walks readers through the five stages of acceptance (similar to the stages of grief, but modified for parents of special-needs kids). Using vivid anecdotes and suggestions, she helps readers understand their own emotional experience, nurture themselves in addition to their kids, identify and address relationship wounds including tension in a marriage and struggles with children (special-needs and neurotypical), and embrace their child with acceptance, compassion and joy.
Not What You Think: Why the Bible Might Be Nothing We Expected Yet Everything We Need
by Lauren Green McAfee Michael McAfeeSo, you're skeptical about the Bible . . . well guess what: you're not alone.The Bible is seen by many contemporary readers as intolerant, outdated, out of step with societal norms at best, and a tool of oppression at worst. In this earnest and illuminating read, millennial thought leaders and aspiring theologians Michael and Lauren McAfee are here to say: fair enough. But they're also here to raise a few questions of their own: What if we cleared the deck on our preconceptions of this book and encountered it anew? What if we came with the understanding that our questions are welcome? And what if these pages presented less of a system to figure out, and more of a story to step into - a story with more surprising plot twists than we might think?Michael and Lauren spent their childhoods in church and Sunday school, they spent part of their twenties finding their way in the world in New York City, and today they're shaping their careers while pursuing doctoral studies in theology and ethics. Along the way, they've had to wrangle very real questions - both their own, and of their friends - about why, where, and how the most controversial book in history fits in our world today.Not What You Think not only blows the dust off dated misperceptions of this ancient book, it engages the problems of this book head-on - the parts that make modern readers squeamish, skeptical, and uncertain. Join Michael and Lauren as they explore the nature of the Bible - an ancient mosaic of story, literature, history, and poetry - and what it means for this generation and its relationship with God. Ultimately, Not What You Think is an invitation to come and see, and be surprised.

Not a Poster Child: Living Well with a Disability—A Memoir
by Francine Falk-Allen2019 Living Now Book Awards Gold Medal Winner in Inspirational/Memoir (Female) 2018 Sarton Women's Book Awards finalist in Memoir Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2018 2018 Sarton Women's Book Awards Silver Medal in Memoir Francine Falk-Allen was only three years old when she contracted polio and temporarily lost the ability to stand and walk.

Not in His Image (15th Anniversary Edition): Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology, and the Future of Belief
by John Lamb Lash&“Lash is capable of explaining the mind-bending concepts of Gnosticism and pagan mystery cults with bracing clarity and startling insight. . . . [His] arguments are often lively and entertaining.&”—Los Angeles TimesFully revised and with a new preface by the author, this timely update is perfect for readers of The Immortality Key.Since its initial release to wide acclaim in 2006, Not in His Image has transformed the lives of readers around the world by presenting the living presence of the Wisdom Goddess as never before revealed, illustrating that the truth of an impactful Gnostic message cannot be hidden or destroyed.With clarity, author John Lamb Lash explains how a little-known messianic sect propelled itself into a dominant world power, systematically wiping out the great Gnostic spiritual teachers, the Druid priests, and the shamanistic healers of Europe and North Africa. Early Christians burned libraries and destroyed temples in an attempt to silence the ancient truth-tellers and keep their own secrets.Not in His Image delves deeply into ancient Gnostic writings to reconstruct the story early Christians tried to scrub from the pages of history, exploring the richness of the ancient European Pagan spirituality—the Pagan Mysteries, the Great Goddess, Gnosis, the myths of Sophia and Gaia.In the 15th Anniversary Edition, Lash doubles down on his original argument against redemptive ideology and authoritarian deceit. He shows how the Gnostics clearly foresaw the current program of salvation by syringe, and places the Sophianic vision of life centrally in the battle to expose and oppose the evil agenda of transhumanism, making this well-timed update more relevant than ever.&“Sometimes a book changes the world. Not in His Image is such a book. It is clear, stimulating, well-researched, and sure to outrage the experts. . . . Get it. Improve not just your own life, but civilization&’s chances for survival.&”—Roger Payne, author of Among WhalesAbo
