Beyond Awkward Side Hugs: Living as Christian Brothers and Sisters in a Sex-Crazed World
by Bronwyn LeaIt Doesn&’t Have to Be This WeirdWhen it comes to relationships between men and women, we have more questions than answers:How do we keep relationships with the opposite sex healthy—and still hug each other after small group?Is it possible for married men and women to be friends with people of the opposite sex?What does it mean to be a woman if you&’re not a wife, or a man if you&’re not a husband?Jesus&’ pattern for church living was one of family—of brothers and sisters living in intimate, life-giving community with each other.

Beyond Awkward: When Talking About Jesus Is Outside Your Comfort Zone (Forge Partnership Books)
by Beau CrosettoSpoiler alert: Talking about Jesus is awkward. We love to share good news with the world. We tweet about a great new restaurant, we share pictures of our newborn child and we celebrate about receiving that sought-after promotion. We are evangelists for many great things. So why don't we do the same with Jesus? It's not hard to see that we bring our own anxieties and awkwardness into every evangelistic conversation. Not to mention the often vast differences between our experiences of God and religion and those of the people around us. And then there's the inner awkwardness of our conversation partners, who are actively contending, even unconsciously, with the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Evangelism is awkward, yes. But on the other side of that awkwardness is something amazing: transformed lives, healed relationships, new vision, eternal life. After spending years working with college students and churchgoers, Beau Crosetto hasn't solved the problem of awkwardness in evangelism. But he's learned how to push through it and how we can set ourselves and those we love at ease as we enter into conversations of eternal consequence. Read this book and move beyond awkward into the most awesome privilege of God's people: proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ.

The lessons, revealed to me through these encounters and those discovered through personal practice, have been pieced together, thread by thread, to recreate a spiritual discipline of a forgotten and highly advanced civilization.

Beyond Blame
by Carl AlaskoThe inspiring new book from the author of Emotional Bullshit reveals why no one is to blame-but everyone's accountable. For many, a rare day goes by in which the need to blame does not arise-be it to cover one's own errors or just to assign an unfortunate event some kind of name (i. e. , "If only X hadn't said X, we wouldn't be in this mess. ") And even for those who are somewhat better at keeping the impulse in check-it is still there. According to psychologist Carl Alasko, blame is such an intrinsic part of how we humans communicate that we rarely take a look at what we're actually doing-and how it can affect our relationships. In this book, Alasko reveals that the need to assign blame when something bad happens stems from a very deep desire we all share to "see justice done". Understandable when a grave crime has been committed, but it can become a dangerous habit if we begin to operate as though placing blame were somehow necessary if we want to change something or someone in our world. Yet this feeling that "someone has to pay" is seldom productive in initiating positive change. In Beyond Blame, Alasko teaches readers to recognize destruction that blame causes in their lives-oftentimes without their even being aware-and to put an end to it once and for all. The path to eliminating blame is not a quick or easy one but, as Carl Alasko demonstrates, it is a road that must be traveled if we hope to achieve true peace in our lives. .

Beyond Body Positive: A Mother's Science-Based Guide for Helping Girls Build a Healthy Body Image (APA LifeTools Series)
by Janet Boseovski Ashleigh H GallagherThis book will help moms teach their 3 to 10-year-old daughters to value and respect their bodies from the start. Girls&’ body image begins to develop very early in life, and many girls show body image concerns by middle childhood. As the primary influence on how girls feel about their bodies, mothers are in an ideal position to support their daughters&’ healthy body image development. Research shows that when a mother has a healthy body image, her daughter is much more likely to value and respect her own body. In this book, psychologists Janet Boseovski and Ashleigh Gallagher begin by prompting readers to reflect on their relationships with their own bodies. Science-backed information and activities help facilitate reader insight into their own tendencies toward perfectionism and social comparison, as well as their reservoirs of self-compassion, self-esteem, and other factors related to healthy body image. Armed with this new self-awareness, moms can commit to modeling healthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors for their growing daughters. The authors then explain how key developmental considerations in early, middle, and late childhood relate to body image and show how moms can guide their girls through each phase of childhood in the context of peer, media, and other cultural influences. With scientific knowledge and intentional, health-focused behaviors, moms can help their daughters develop a self-image that is not tied to physical appearance, learn to accept their bodies despite imperfections, and resist harmful cultural messages about their bodies. Includes a full appendix of activities written and compiled by the authors, with Julianne Peebles.
