You Are Unshaken - Includes Seven-Session Video Series: Finding Security in God in an Uncertain World
by Laura KrokosLearn how to wield God&’s Word as a weapon against anxiety, shame, and fear, so you can remain unshaken in our changing world. Unseen. Powerless. Hopeless. Many of us believe that these words describe who we are. In You Are Unshaken, Laura Krokos reminds us that this is not simply negative self-talk. These are lies Satan uses to keep us from living out the peace-filled, joy-filled life God wants for us. Each chapter in You Are Unshaken exposes one of these lies and equips us to fight back with truth. You Are Unshaken helps us: Find confidence and peace even in difficult circumstances.Learn how to use God&’s Word as the sword of the Spirit.Realize that how we see God affects how we see ourselves.Feel grounded in God&’s plan for us.Move beyond distractions and discouragements. Knowing God&’s character transforms everything in life: our attitudes and actions, our fears and desires. You Are Unshaken is more than a call to know God. It is a reminder of who we already are because of who God has always been.
You Are What You Read: A Practical Guide to Reading Well (Skills for Scholars)
by Robert DiYanniHow you can enrich your life by becoming a more skillful and engaged reader of literatureWe are what we read, according to Robert DiYanni. Reading may delight us or move us; we may read for instruction or inspiration. But more than this, in reading we discover ourselves. We gain access to the lives of others, explore the limitless possibilities of human existence, develop our understanding of the world around us, and find respite from the hectic demands of everyday life. In You Are What You Read, DiYanni provides a practical guide that shows how we can increase the benefits and pleasures of reading literature by becoming more skillful and engaged readers.DiYanni suggests that we attend first to what authors say and the way in which they say it, rather than rushing to decide what they mean. He considers the various forms of literature, from the essay to the novel, the short story to the poem, demonstrating rewarding approaches to each in sample readings of classic works. Through a series of illuminating oppositions, he explores the paradoxical pleasures of reading: solitary versus social reading, submitting to or resisting the author, reading inwardly or outwardly, and more. DiYanni closes with nine recommended reading practices, thoughts on the different experiences of print and digital reading, and advice on what to read and why.Written in a clear, inviting, and natural style, You Are What You Read is an essential guide for all who want to enrich their reading—and their life.

You Are Your Child's First Teacher, Third Edition
by Rahima Baldwin DancyYou Are Your Child's First Teacher was the first book in America to popularize the insights of Rudolf Steiner, founder of the Waldorf schools, regarding the developmental needs of young children. This revised and updated edition offers new ways for parents and educators to enrich the lives of children from birth to age six. Some of the most important learning years happen before your child reaches school. In You Are Your Child's First Teacher, respected Waldorf educator Rahima Baldwin Dancy explains the different stages of learning that children go through from birth to age six, giving you the wisdom and understanding to enrich your child's natural development in the right way at the right time. Today's society often pressures us into overstimulating young children with flashcards, workbooks, videos, and electronic gadgets in a well-meaning attempt to give them a head start. But children are not little adults--they learn and grow in radically different ways at different ages, and what we do to help could actually hurt instead. A trusted classic for over twenty years, this newly revised edition contains updated resources and additional information on discipline, early childhood programs, toilet training, using home life as curriculum, and more. From language and cognitive develop-ment to appropriate toys and nourishing your child's artistic abilities, Dancy speaks up for a rational approach to child-rearing, one that helps children be children while we fulfill our important role as parents and first teachers.

You Be the Judge
by H. Clark AdamsH. Clark Adams let you be the judge on 60 cases that he’s already made his decisions on in the legal arena of small claims court. It’s enough to put you off wedded bliss forever, but if you did harbour strong opinions on how the case Smith v Brown a couple on the brink of matrimony, interfering relatives notwithstanding should unfold, H. Clark Adams welcomes you to the legal arena of small claims court. Here feuding former lovers, despondent homeowners, and singed shopkeepers bring their grievances against their erstwhile partners in love and business for a ruling that could end the troubled relationship and maybe even offer them material or monetary comfort. In a tone that’s distinctly light-hearted, the retired deputy judge offers readers a fictionalized sampling of the cases presented at small claims court, and the chance for them to pit their best instincts and powers of judgment against his. Part I of the book is a collection of cases from the gripping to the ridiculous, whilePart II features Adams’s decisions on the cases presented. If your view on these 60 cases differs from the learned judge, be warned: no appeal to his decision has ever been successful.

You Can Be Healed
by Clara PalmerIn this eloquent Christian book, Clara Palmer reminds us of the blessings of the human body and of the deep appreciation for the mysteries of the human spirit.“Because I was healed through prayer although my condition had been termed hopeless, because I have personally witnessed the healing of incurable diseases and have read letters from hundreds who have been restored to health, I know that you can be healed.“Silent Unity prayed with me. Jesus Christ restored me. The workers in Silent Unity will pray with you without ceasing if you will write to them. They will answer your letter and instruct you in the way of Truth so that you may know the fullness of life, harmony, and light that are yours in Christ.“Much of this book was originally published as articles in Weekly Unity. Many readers reported receiving benefits from the healing blessings and requested their publication in book form. Their names, love, appreciation, and prayers, although invisible, are interwoven into every chapter. May God eternally bless them, and you too, with His healing life and wholeness.”
