Gorilla and the Bird: A memoir of madness and a mother's love
by Zack McDermott'One of the gems of the year' - Michele Magwood, Sunday Times (Books LIVE SA)The story of a young man fighting to recover from a devastating psychotic break and the mother who refuses to give up on him.Zack McDermott, a twenty-six-year-old Brooklyn public defender, woke up one morning convinced he was being filmed as part of an audition for a TV pilot. Every passerby was an actor; every car would magically stop for him; everything he saw was a cue from 'The Producer' to help inspire the performance of a lifetime. After a manic spree around Manhattan, Zack, who is bipolar, was arrested on a subway platform and admitted to hospital. So begins the story of Zack's free fall into psychosis and his desperate, poignant, often darkly funny struggle to claw his way back to sanity, regain his identity, and rebuild some semblance of a stable life. It's a journey that will take him from New York City back to his Kansas roots and to the one person who might be able to save him, his tough, bighearted Midwestern mother, nicknamed the Bird, whose fierce and steadfast love is the light in Zack's dark world. Before his odyssey is over, Zack will be tackled by guards in mental wards, run naked through cornfields, receive secret messages from the TV, befriend a former Navy SEAL and his talking stuffed monkey and see the Virgin Mary in the whorls of his own back hair. But with the Bird's help, he just might have a shot at pulling through, starting over, and maybe even meeting a woman who can love him back, bipolar and all. Written with raw emotional power, humor, and tenderness, Gorilla and the Bird is a bravely honest account of a young man's unraveling and the relationship that saves him.
Gospel Conversations: How to Care Like Christ (Equipping Biblical Counselors)
by Brian Croft Robert W. KellemenHow does a person learn to counsel others with the truth of God’s Word? Bob Kellemen believes that the best way to learn counseling is by doing it—by giving and receiving biblical counseling in the context of real, raw Christian community. Gospel Conversations explores the four compass-points of biblical counseling: Sustaining: “It’s Normal to Hurt.” Healing: “It’s Possible to Hope.” Reconciling: “It’s Horrible to Sin, but Wonderful to Be Forgiven.” Guiding: “It’s Supernatural to Mature.” These four compass points combine to equip readers to develop twenty-two ministry relational competencies—the “how to” of caring like Christ. This book serves as a practical training manual that can be used for lab and small group interaction. Gospel Conversations is the second volume in The Equipping Biblical Counselors Series, a comprehensive relational training curriculum for the local church that provides a model for equipping God’s people to change lives with Christ’s changeless truth. This two-volume series weaves together comprehensive biblical insight with compassionate Christian engagement.
Gospel-Centered Counseling: How Christ Changes Lives
by Deepak Reju Robert W. KellemenEveryone talks about the personal ministry of the Word, but how do we make one-another ministry truly biblical? Gospel-Centered Counseling equips readers to change lives with Christ’s changeless truth. It does so by examining life’s seven ultimate questions and then guiding readers on a journey that explores the biblical, gospel-centered narrative of: The Word: “What is truth?” “Where can I find answers?” The Trinity: “Who is God?” “Can I know Him personally?” Creation: “Who am I?” “What makes people tick?” Fall: “What went wrong?” “Why do we do the things we do?” Redemption: “Can I change?” “How do people change?” Glorification: “Where am I headed?” “How does our future destiny impact our present reality?” Sanctification: “How can I help?” “How can I change lives?" Bob Kellemen builds on the foundation of the written Word and provides a gospel-centered resource for understanding people, diagnosing problems, and prescribing biblically-based solutions. Gospel-Centered Counseling is the first volume in The Equipping Christian Counselors Series, a comprehensive relational training curriculum for the local church that provides a model for equipping God’s people to change lives with Christ’s changeless truth. This two-volume series weaves together comprehensive biblical insight with compassionate Christian engagement.
Gossip: Ten Pathways to Eliminate It from Your Life and Transform Your Soul

Gossip—negative talk, put-downs, rumors, accusations—not only hurts the person being talked about, it also hurts the person speaking and the person listening. In short, gossip has a negative impact on everyone. Yet, despite these negative consequences, gossip has been around since the beginning of humankind and continues to be a popular but destructive pastime. Throughout this timely and enjoyable book, readers will learn what the Bible and Jewish wisdom have to say regarding speech and how their teachings relate to our world today. Readers will also learn via real-life examples how to break the gossip habit and how to teach others to do the same. Gossip will help people develop skills to improve their lives by getting along better with others; mending old hurts and reclaiming lost relationship; keeping good relationships from going bad through hurtful words; and strengthening relationships they already have by speaking in a more encouraging and productive manner. The purpose of this book is to extinguish the fire of evil speech and help us live in a gossip-free environment. The result? Positive interactions with the people around us, the healing of relationships and a more complete self.

Government and Christianity: A Sermon for the Times
by Joseph Augustus SeissGovernment and Christianity: A Sermon for the Times by Joseph Augustus Seiss is a thought-provoking and timely discourse on the relationship between civil authority and Christian faith. Delivered during a period of political and social upheaval in the 19th century, Seiss offers a compelling argument for the compatibility of governance and Christianity, emphasizing the role of faith in fostering justice, order, and moral responsibility within society.Seiss contends that effective governance must be rooted in divine principles, asserting that Christianity provides the ethical foundation necessary for laws and institutions to serve the common good. Through scriptural references and theological insights, he examines how Christian values—such as justice, mercy, and personal accountability—should inform both the actions of rulers and the behavior of citizens. He also addresses the dangers of secularism and the need for moral guidance in public life.The sermon speaks to the responsibilities of both leaders and the governed, urging individuals to align their civic duties with their religious convictions. Seiss emphasizes that true liberty is only sustainable when grounded in the principles of righteousness, warning that neglecting Christian ethics can lead to societal decay. His message resonates with those concerned about the balance between faith and politics, offering a vision for how Christianity can positively shape public policy and governance.Government and Christianity remains relevant for readers interested in the intersection of religion and politics, offering valuable insights into the role of faith in public life. Seiss’s sermon challenges modern audiences to reflect on how personal beliefs can influence civic responsibility, inspiring both leaders and citizens to pursue justice and truth within their communities. This work serves as a call to action for those seeking to integrate faith with public service and governance.
Gozo al instante: El arte de descubrir la felicidad interi
by Chade-Meng TanLa tan esperada continuación al best seller del New York Times Busca en tu interior, nos enseña cómo cultivar el gozo dentro del contexto de nuestras vidas agitadas y nos explica por qué clave para nuestra creatividad, innovación, seguridad y en última instancia, el éxito en todos los aspectos. En este libro, Chade-Meng Tan nos muestra que no necesitamos meditar durante días, meses o años para lograr un gozo permanente. De hecho, podemos lograr un acceso constante, en tan solo quince segundos. Explicando el gozo y la meditación como cosas complementarias, que se refuerzan mutuamente de forma natural, Meng explica cómo estas dos habilidades forman entre sí un círculo vicioso, y una vez puestas en marcha se convierten en una práctica sólida que podemos mantener en nuestra vida cotidiana. Durante muchos años, se ha enseñado y practicado la meditación en culturas donde casi todos los meditadores la practican a tiempo completo durante años, lo cual resulta en programas de entrenamiento perfeccionados para los que practican la meditación con una gran cantidad de tiempo libre y sin mucho más que hacer que desarrollar un profundo dominio sobre la mente. Viendo una desconexión entre la práctica tradicional y el mundo moderno, el autor best seller ha desarrollado un programa por medio de una «pereza sabia» con el fin de ayudar a los lectores a meditar con mayor eficiencia y eficacia. Meng nos comparte acerca de los tres pilares del gozo (la paz interior, la comprensión y la felicidad); dice por qué el gozo es el secreto del éxito, y presenta las herramientas prácticas que todos podemos usar para cultivarlo.
Gozo desafiante: Aferrarse a la esperanza, la belleza y la vida en un mundo que sufre
by Stasi EldredgeEstamos llamados a “estar siempre gozosos” (1 Ts. 5.16). ¿Qué significa esto, y cómo puede ser posible?Todos gastamos mucha energía buscando la felicidad, pero no somos capaces de aferrarnos a ella. Cosas suceden en la vida real, y nuestras circunstancias nos llevan por un viaje de altas y bajas. Entonces, el llamado que nos hace la Biblia a "estar siempre gozosos" parece una locura, y fuera de alcance. Pero no tiene que ser así.Debemos tener gozo, un gozo tan grande que desafíe a este mundo caído. Este gozo no es simplemente felicidad con esteroides; es la seguridad inquebrantable de que el dolor y la pérdida no tienen la última palabra. Es la firme determinación que se manifiesta en cualquier situación para interpretar tanto la bondad como el dolor a la luz de las Escrituras.En Gozo desafiante, Stasi Eldredge, con valentía, sinceridad y vulnerabilidad nos invita a un lugar más allá de la tristeza o la felicidad. Nos muestra cómo mantener una postura desafiante que no niega ni resta importancia a nuestro dolor, sino que se atreve a vivir con una esperanza inquebrantable.
Grace & Style: The Art of Pretending You Have It
by Grace HelbigFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grace's Guide and the host of The Grace Helbig Show on E! comes a beautifully illustrated, tongue-in-cheek book about style that lampoons fashion and beauty guides while offering practical advice in Grace Helbig's trademark sweet and irreverent voice.It's clear to see I'm a style icon; remember, you can't spell icon without "con." I love clothes, accessories, and makeup as much as the next lady, man, French bulldog in a sweater, or child whose parents dressed her in a couture Halloween costume, but telling people how they should look doesn't suit me (clothes pun!). I have no authority in that department (I barely even shop in department stores). Instead this is a look at my own silly and nonsensical approach to style, and I promise only some of it is about sweatpants. This book is one part entertainment, one part irreverent fashion fun, and one part personal experience, including: -My closet staples and jewelry MVPs, and what's actually in my makeup bag -All about BLTs and BFFS...that is, Better-Looking T-Shirts and Best Feet Friends -The bad-hair-day character wheel -The Ten Commandments of online shopping -A handy flowchart to help you decide "Should I actually buy this?" -Red-carpet ridiculousness -Grace Expectations: What your denim says about you -And MORE! I'm not stylish--I'm self-aware. I'm not polished--I'm perceptive. I'm not trendy--but I love trying. Because when it comes down to it, "style" is just a simple way of saying "I showered."

Grace Lost and Found: From Addictions and Compulsions to Satisfaction and Serenity
by Mary Cook&“Provides a process for personal reflection and a deeper understanding of addictive behavior and recovery.&”—Stephanie S. Covington, PhD, author of A Woman&’s Way Through the Twelve Steps Many recovery books are for the beginner, and that makes sense. But then what? This grace-filled book is for people at later stages in their recovery who are looking to uncover the underlying causes for their addiction and heal the psychological and spiritual pain, often lingering from childhood that many addicts bear. Grace Lost and Found is an inspirational and deep exploration of problems and pain—providing a compassionate approach to healing addictions, compulsions and other unhealthy habits. The 40 essays, each with their own set of practices and affirmations, engage readers on a journey through body, mind and spirit, symbolic symptoms, pain messages, levels of consciousness, and an expanded view of identity and life. The essays reach right to the bottom of the addict&’s bag of tricks—lack of accountability, the tendency to externalize blame, willfulness, defending and pretending, immaturity, denial—and offer wise, compassionate, and get-real spiritual counsel. As Cook reminds us, we tend to grow most from pain and crisis: &“I help people find the ultimate treasure in their problems, the messages in their pain and the metaphors in their symptoms. We are all being guided to a higher, healthier path, when we pay attention.&” &“An empowering resource for healing the wounds of the past, thriving in the face of adversity and rejection, and creating your authentic self.&”—Bernie Siegel, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Peace, Love and Healing
