K. C. Camden professes that her family was just like any other in
the fact that over the years, they were hardly perfect. But
together they weathered the storms, laughed and cried, and loved
and fought. Everything changed for the Camden family one November
day when K. C. drove up to her house and made a horrifying
discovery: her son, Joey, had committed suicide. K. C. details her
journey as an average mother who provides a loving and nurturing
home for her two children but eventually must face and fight the
daunting issues of domestic violence, drug abuse, and depression.
While sharing her own misgivings and insecurities, she honestly
portrays the path of severe depression that led Joey to take his
own life, including her personal regret in not knowing more about
the side effects of the controversial anti-depressant drug Paxil
and in trusting the doctor who prescribed it for Joey. "Only
Forgotten Son" offers understanding and compassion for those who
suffer the terrible darkness of depression and will hopefully
lessen the unwarranted stigma associated with suicide.
Based on work originally published in 1650 and 1651, this book
combines Jeremy Taylor's two most famous writings: *The Rule and
Exercises of Holy Living* and *The Rule and Exercises of Holy
Dying.* These books are owner's manuals for the soul, describing
for readers how to attain virtue, avoid vice, and live a proper
Christian life. The book is divided into sections based on which
virtue and which vice the reader needs help with. *On Dying* speaks
to those who, before they are old and ill, have given some thought
to dying and wish to ensure that they pass properly to Heaven.
Devout Christians will find this book inspirational and
instructional.
Readers' Choice Awards Honorable Mention Distinguished Honorable
Mention, from Byron Borger, Hearts and Minds Bookstore "No matter
how old you are or how many degrees you have or don't have-when
grace takes you to school, you start in kindergarten." This was the
experience of Reverend Glandion Carney when he was given the
life-altering news that he has Parkinson's disease. He was plunged
into denial and despair. This was not supposed to be his journey.
How could he face it? With poignant vulnerability, The Way of Grace
describes one man's journey into a new land of God's amazing grace.
Both his honesty and his resilience will inspire and inform your
own times of difficulty. In each chapter we are introduced to a
spiritual practice that can carry us through difficult days:
acceptance, relinquishment, community, simplicity and more. And a
guide at the end of each chapter carries us into a brief and
refreshing experience with each of the practices. God's unmerited
grace saves us, strengthens us and sanctifies us. We too can
experience lives full of grace and truth, courageously searching
out God's wonders every day.
A charming, practical, and unsentimental approach to putting a home in order while reflecting on the tiny joys that make up a long life.
In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning “death” and städning meaning “cleaning.” This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming.
Margareta suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you’d ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children’s art projects). Digging into her late husband’s tool shed, and her own secret drawer of vices, Margareta introduces an element of fun to a potentially daunting task. Along the way readers get a glimpse into her life in Sweden, and also become more comfortable with the idea of letting go.
