Life Starts Now: How to Create the Life You’ve Been Waiting For
by Chanel DokunCertified Life Planner and Relationship Expert Chanel Dokun shows women how to leave behind the stress and disappointment of a life spent chasing external significance and success and find profound joy and fulfillment in building a new one rooted in living out your unique purpose.Women are drowning in pursuit of the "good life." They chase external markers of success--building enviable careers, pursuing romantic relationships, and crafting the picture-perfect life--in attempts to soothe the aching suspicion that there must be more to life. But their efforts only leave them stressed, lonely, and tired of trying to answer the question: "Why isn't this enough?"Chanel Dokun spent the first half of her life focusing on achieving and attaining the lifestyle she thought she wanted. But she found herself feeling disappointed, disillusioned, and like she'd lost herself while running after a "successful" life. She realized that the world's definition of accomplishment was not a true measure of a life well lived, and she needed to redefine success and become the architect of her own life. Through practical strategies, anecdotes from her work coaching women around the country, and therapeutic examination, Chanel Dokun teaches women how to create the life they've been waiting for and sharesan in-depth look at why society's definition of significance isn't the answer in their search for more;the hidden reason why they are discontent;practical action steps to unlock their genius, find their flair, and discover their unique life purpose; andthe five postures of silence, solitude, generosity, gratitude, and play that can help them move from striving to thriving.Life Starts Now shows us that when we release the search for significance and recover a redemptive view of an ordinary life, we can experience profound joy and fulfillment--and embrace the wild wonder of the lives we've been given.
Life Stinks . . . and Then You Die: Living Well in a Sick World
by Bob Hostetler"Many people seem to blithely skip through the meadows of this world, with nary a wound or scar. Day after day seems to shine on them. They wake up each morning with a smile on their face. . . . This book is not for them.There is something dreadfully wrong with this world, and everyone knows it.Some try to fix it. Some try to ignore it. Some recognize that the same thing that is wrong with the world is wrong with us--and nothing will change until we grasp that reality.Life Stinks . . . And Then You Die is a gritty, honest look at the world around us and the world inside us. It is based on an ancient book of wisdom that many consider to be the Bible's most perplexing book, Ecclesiastes, to a man who seemed to have every advantage--wealth, education, and power could possibly offer--but still struggled to find happiness and meaning. It does not offer platitudes. No easy fixes. It doesn't spackle over the rough reality of life in the twenty-first century. But it does offer perspective. And hope. And a plan for living well in spite of all that's wrong with the world and with us."
Life Stones: The Ammunition Needed to Overcome the Giants in Your Life
by Rick HarrisLife Stones deals with characteristics that, when absent or waning in a person’s life, cause giant obstacles in the personal life, relational life, and their life with God.When utilized, the “life stones” combat the natural tendencies to promote selfish tendencies and personal agendas which erode the eternal life that Christ provides that is centered on biblical principles. The goal of Life Stones is to draw people that are outside of the faith community of the church to the Lord Jesus and to edify the faith community itself to live a victorious and God-honoring life. Life Stones uses situations of both victory and defeat from Rick Harris’ forty-two years of pastoral and missionary experiences. With real-life situations, humor, and honesty Rick shows the contrast between a victorious Christian experience and a self-focused and self-absorbed existence. Life Stones addresses the defeats, frustrations, and fears that are common to all humankind…and the victory that is provided in utilizing “life stones.”

Cast your mind back to that album that changed your life? The riffs, the hooks and the lyrics that blew your mind? That movie that moved your whole world and assured you that life was going to be special? Transporting you to a place you’d never been before, the opening chapter of that book that changed your life forever? The hairs on the back of your neck stood, adrenaline rushed through your entire body with the weight of the world gone from your young shoulders. Energised, inspired, alive, all in and ready to turn up to this wonderfully f*cked up thing we call life. Close your eyes and remember that feeling right there in that moment? Life Will See You Now is a rousing, uplifting anthem that will inspire you to put down your phone, rediscover what truly matters and completely rethink what ‘making it’ in life actually means.

Oattes makes the argument – backed by both positive psychology and an abundance of childlike wonder – that in an anxious world ruled by pressure, ego and other people’s expectations, we are all incredibly lucky to be alive at a time where kindness, gratitude, play and ice-lollies really do matter. Remember, you don't have to do what everyone else is doing. . .
