Epic Fail: Gaining Wisdom from Failures of Biblical Proportion
by Gordon DabbsThe Bible records stories of men and women who were both heroes and zeroes. We can learn from both. Welcome to a journey through the wisdom and life lessons offered in the stories of the Bible's greatest failures!Why would our loving God choose to forever record the stories of men and women whose lives collapsed in sin and shame? Why share biographies of people like Jezebel and Judas, whose lives didn't have happy endings? Perhaps the Lord recognized that their stories could powerfully inform and shape us. Their loss can become our gain. EPIC FAIL: GAINING WISDOM FROM FAILURES OF BIBLICAL PROPORTION is God's invitation to learn and grow from the great collapses of the Bible.While all of us will experience the pain and shame of failure, sometimes we have to fail in order to succeed. As any successful scientist, entrepreneur, parent, or coach can attest, the road to success is paved with setbacks. Every stumble is a chance to reevaluate, learn, reinvent, adapt, and mature. Each setback is an opportunity to make course corrections. This book shows that though we are human and we are destined to fail, with God's help and an openness to learn we can resolve to fail forward.

Epiphanies: Where Science and Miracles Meet
by Huston Smith Ann JaureguiIn a quiet moment of therapy, a breakthrough comes -- the miracle of the new. To experience an epiphany is to have sudden insight into the essential meaning of something, unleashed sometimes in exquisitely slow motion, sometimes in a flash. In an intimate, lyrical integration of the science of psychology and transcendence of spirituality, celebrated clinician Dr. Ann Jauregui introduces us to nine individuals who have undergone astonishing transformations by exploring a world quite different from the one described by our five senses. With moments of miraculous and joyful surprise, Epiphanies exposes a reality outside of everyday existence that has momentous implications for life's ultimate questions. "Shyly we venture out with these stories," Dr. Jauregui writes, "into a world where science itself is struggling to describe a realm out of time and space and language." We are the beneficiaries of these extraordinary shifts of perspective, invited into a sparkling conversation that allows us to see the potential residing in all of us.

by Elise Ballard"Epiphany" is a compilation of inspiring, life-changing moments from both nationally known figures like Dr. Mehmet Oz and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and ordinary people, including a minister, an elementary school teacher, and a former street urchin in Tanzania.

Erotic Innocence: The Culture of Child Molesting
by James KincaidIn Erotic Innocence James R. Kincaid explores contemporary America's preoccupation with stories about the sexual abuse of children. Claiming that our culture has yet to come to terms with the bungled legacy of Victorian sexuality, Kincaid examines how children and images of youth are idealized, fetishized, and eroticized in everyday culture. Evoking the cyclic elements of Gothic narrative, he thoughtfully and convincingly concludes that the only way to break this cycle is to acknowledge--and confront--not only the sensuality of children but the eroticism loaded onto them. Drawing on a number of wide-ranging and well-publicized cases as well as scandals involving such celebrities as Michael Jackson and Woody Allen, Kincaid looks at issues surrounding children's testimonies, accusations against priests and day-care centers, and the horrifying yet persistently intriguing rumors of satanic cults and "kiddie porn" rings. In analyzing the particular form of popularity shared by such child stars such Shirley Temple and Macaulay Culkin, he exposes the strategies we have devised to deny our own role in the sexualization of children. Finally, Kincaid reminds us how other forms of abuse inflicted on children--neglect, abandonment, inadequate nutrition, poor education--are often overlooked in favor of the sensationalized sexual abuse coverage in the news, on daytime TV talk shows, and in the elevators and cafeterias of America each day.This bold and critically enlightened book will interest readers across a wide range of disciplines as well as a larger general audience interested in American culture.
Erotic Integrity: How to be True to Yourself Sexually
by Claudia SixHave you ever asked yourself the following questions: Are my desires normal? Can I share who I really am with my partner? Am I morally flawed because of my sexual fantasies? Is there something wrong with me sexually because I have low libido? In Erotic Integrity, Dr. Claudia Six leads readers through ten sexual themes—including garden-variety performance anxiety, sexual boredom, newly dating, coming out, and more—and reveals three simple steps to a more rewarding sex life: knowing who you truly are as a sexual being, embracing that knowledge, and living it authentically.

Based on Dr. Six’s twenty years experience as a clinical sexologist, this straightforward guide skillfully challenges readers to self-examine, self-accept, and self-actualize for a more fulfilling sense of eroticism.

Esa nueva piel: Sobre la maternidad, el duelo y sus alrededores
by Eugenia Tobal«Un testimonio sin imposturas, sin falsos paraísos, sin espejismos. Eugenia Tobal recorre su propia historia, la de su embarazo, su gestación, su parto. E incluye el duelo, esa contradictoria lucha entre la vida y la muerte que nunca imagino vivir de forma tan prematura».Sonia Fides «Dos meses después del nacimiento de Ema, mi madre murió, así que mi soñada y flamante maternidad coincidió con un duelo que en este momento presiento eterno. Sin embargo, qué mejor homenaje puedo brindarles a mi madre y a mi hija que reunirlas en Esa nueva piel, prolongando el encuentro entre las tres, escribiendo nuestro linaje con palabras que van a perdurar en el tiempo». Así anuncia Eugenia Tobal el "paisaje" de su obra. El dolor por la pérdida de su madre y la felicidad por el nacimiento de su primera hija están presentes en cada página con la sutileza de una banda sonora, una melodía suave, honesta, sensible, que resuena por detrás de cada tema que el libro aborda. La propuesta de Esa nueva piel es "demoler mitos y despejar ese suelo tan movedizo que pisamos en la maternidad" y, sobre todo, vivirla sin culpas, sin miedos y con la verdad. Para ello, la autora no solo comparte su experiencia personal, sino que además les da voz a especialistas y a otras mujeres que llegaron a ser madres de diferentes maneras. La voz emotiva, íntegra y delicada de Tobal fluye en cada página, avanza, valiente, por los territorios más espinosos -la maternidad, la muerte, el nacimiento, el duelo- y nos invita a celebrar la vida mirándola siempre de frente.

Escape from Bellevue
by Campion Christopher JohnRead Christopher John Campion's posts on the Penguin Blog. Indie rock raconteur Chris Campion-one of the few patients ever to escape from Bellevue's locked ward-recalls his band's tumultuous ride, his plummet into addiction, and the strange road back to sobriety Chronicling more than twenty years in the life of a Long Island kid who became a hardcore fixture of Manhattan's indie rock scene, Escape from Bellevue is a coming-of-age tale like no other. As the lead singer of New York-based indie rock band Knockout Drops, Campion got a taste of fame (but, alas, no fortune) on a wild ride that lasted from the early 1980s through the 1990s. Escape from Bellevue puts the spotlight on the collective psychosis of twenty years spent in a rolling bacchanal. Just as the Knockout Drops reached the height of their success, Campion began his downward spiral. After finally coming to grips with his addictions, Campion molded his songs and stories into a sold-out off-Broadway musical. Now, presenting these tales in a memoir of madness and redemption, Campion once again proves to possess the creative genius of a die-hard front man. .
