Yet so many of us guilt-trip or gaslight ourselves instead of working our way through complicated feelings. You should be a good friend, even though you feel hurt by past betrayals. You should be content, even though you feel lonely or unfulfilled. You should just have faith, even though you feel discouraged by unanswered prayers.

This jumbled-up knot is a cry for gentle care and patient attention, but most of us haven’t been given the tools required to unravel it.

Drawing from over twenty years of research and clinical practice, I Shouldn’t Feel This Way guides you through a groundbreaking 3-step process that has helped tens of thousands of people find emotional freedom and surprisingly simple breakthroughs. Dr. Alison shows you how to

• identify guilt and know what to do with it,
• trade feeling stuck in your head for clarity,
• move from comfortable numbing to courageous conversations
• make decisions that break cycles of defeat.

Change starts when you finally stop beating yourself up for the way that you feel and say, You know what? I do feel this way! And I can finally do something about it.

Find your passion. Know your voice. Speak for good.

We know what it means to do good. But in today’s tense and complex world, when topics like political issues, theology, and current events so often divide us, how do we say good? God calls us to speak truth into our communities and relationships, but we all struggle to know when to speak up. We feel intimidated even as we long to engage controversy and division with ease and conviction. How can we know what to say–and when?

In Say Good, Ashlee Eiland helps you discover the power of stewarding your unique voice. You’ll walk into a four-part discernment process–through passion, accountability, influence, and relationship–to understand the spaces, ways, and times where your words are needed. As you do, you’ll find the conviction and confidence to speak up in even the most flammable challenges. This book equips you to:

• Find your voice in complex conversations
• Engage with diverse perspectives and bring about positive change
• Embrace authenticity and accountability
• Foster meaningful relationships

Say Good is a timely, thought-provoking book that contains practical insights, empowering action steps, and a solid framework for using your voice with purpose and impact. Embark on a transformative journey of honing both your words and your heart–for good.

🗣️Words are powerful – they can motivate, inspire, and comfort, but they can cut and wound! Do you find it easier to use your words by speaking, writing, or other?

Do you find yourself living as the people pleaser or peacekeeper? Do you avoid conflict? Learn how to overcome your fears about setting boundaries and step into a life that’s overflowing with love, respect, and healthy relationships.

We are people who love patterns, even if returning to these patterns continue to hurt us or those we love. Some of the most harmful patterns of behavior are passed down through generations and inherited, often without our permission or awareness. The conflict arises when these behaviors are so deeply woven into early family systems that they later become part of our identities, clashing with who God has created and called us to be.

In Loyal to a Fault, Courtney Burg unpacks the various ways we cope with, enable, and participate in unhealthy relationships or generational trauma. Using personal examples and providing practical wisdom, Courtney helps you break free from codependent patterns by:

🩷Identifying the role you are playing in keeping the dysfunctional patterns going.

🩷Reframing what it means to love and remain loyal to those who matter most.

🩷Reminding you that boundary work is a biblical practice.

🩷Including end-of-chapter prompts for deeper introspection.

It is possible to learn how to love others well without losing yourself along the way. People pleasing, complaining, and exhaustion may be today’s norm, but at any moment you can choose to do things differently. Begin setting boundaries and start enjoying relationships in all the ways God designed you to.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A NOVELIST with a “razor-sharp wit” (Newsday), a “singular sensibility” (Huff Post), and a lifetime of fear about getting sick finds a lump where no lump should be? Months of medical mishaps, coded language, and Doctors Who Don’t Get It.

With wisdom, self-effacing wit, and the story-telling artistry of an acclaimed novelist, Elizabeth Benedict recollects her cancer diagnosis after discovering multiplying lumps in her armpit. In compact, explosive chapters, interspersed with moments of self-mocking levity, she chronicles her illness from muddled diagnosis to “natural remedies,” to debilitating treatments, as she gathers sustenance from family, an assortment of urbane friends, and a fearless “cancer guru.”

Benedict’s sagacity jackets her fears, which are personal, political, and ultimately global. Amidst weighty concerns of the Covid pandemic and an all-consuming obsession over her ailments, Rewriting Illness is suffused with suspense, secrets, and the unexpected solace of silence.

——————–

I wish that no one EVER had to get cancer! But I think many will benefit from Elizabeth Benedict sharing her journey in this brutally honest, funny, and relaxed way. It should be a wake-up call to our healthcare system and providers. And for those walking through this diagnosis – Elizabeth will feel like a trusted friend.

Thank you @algonquinbooks for this gifted book. 

For Gay, what delights us is what connects us, what gives us meaning, from the joy of hearing a nostalgic song blasting from a passing car to the pleasure of refusing the “ubiquitous, nefarious” scannable QR code menus, from the tiny dog he fell hard for to his mother baking a dozen kinds of cookies for her grandchildren.

As always, Gay revels in the natural world—sweet potatoes being harvested, a hummingbird carousing in the beebalm, a sunflower growing out of a wall around the cemetery, the shared bounty from a neighbor’s fig tree—and the trillion mysterious ways this glorious earth delights us.

🌱 🌱 🌱

I loved that this is Ross Gay, a professor and award-winning poet, writing about life. I understand his first book, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬, was a collection of essays on what things brought him joy. Now, sitting down to do it again – the world is a bit different, and so is he. And yet, he still finds “delight” in Squirrels, Dandelions, Michael McDonald, and even the perfect notebook (I can so relate to that).

These are his ponderings, his observations about this complicated life we live, yet Gay breaks it down to the simple things. I enjoyed his writing; it’s casual and comfortable. I also agree that it’s important to take time to delight in this world around us; the small, simple, everyday things can bring us joy if we are willing to stop and look and listen.
