Book Description
Its All about Him comes from an author who has wrestled with God and her own emotions. The book reveals how God has met her, leads her, and cared for her in his faithfulness. Here is a practical, helpful work for Christians who desire to grow in their life with God. Rev. Kent Meads, Community Presbyterian Church d The statement Its all about Him often leads to the question Who is he (him)? When the author asks, Who do you think he is? she gets varying responses. A few guessed it is God. When answering the question from a biblical perspective, it becomes clear God is the center of the universe: its all about Him. This awareness conflicts with many of the assumptions at work in todays culture. A licensed psychologist, Dr. Brittell came across the question What is it all about? in many forms. People are searching for meaning and attachment, sometimes in all the wrong places. The loss of selfresulting from anxiety, depression, and other disordersis not only a personal loss but a cultural loss as well. For Christians there are answers in the Bible. Many have no idea how or where to find them. Those who are unfamiliar with Christian principles may have no idea where to begin looking for the answers. In reading Its All about Him you will find principles that were established at the time of creation and have continued to this day. Your sense of self, worth, and purpose are found in relationship with God. Finding God in a world full of noise, clutter, and fantasies is not always easy, but it is always simple. An excellent study for a small group setting. Rev. Rich Latta, pastor, Dinuba Presbyterian Church

Book Description
In a society that encourages us to believe it's all about "me, me, me," it is a novel concept to discover it's really all about Christ. When we fail to recognize it's all about Him and begin to think that it is all about us, we are setting ourselves up for a great fall, shares Bishop Nate Holcomb in this thought-provoking new book It's All About Him: The Doctrine of Christ. How can the righteous prepare for battle? You can commit to learning Christ's doctrine and the six guiding principles. Don't miss this chance to obtain these spiritual life-saving lessons Accentuated by theological linguistic history and backed by scriptural documentation, It's All About Him relates that most Christians sadly cannot enunciate or enumerate the principles of the doctrine of Christ -- even if their lives depend on it. Ironically, the spiritual life of a Christian does, in fact, depend on these paramount teachings. This masterfully written book is an important weapon for every Christian's war chest.

Book Description
From a talented young journalist on the rise, a deeply reported, timely new biography of the Notorious B.I.G., publishing for what would have been his 50th birthday The Notorious B.I.G. was one of the most charismatic and talented artists of the 1990s. Born Christopher Wallace and raised in Clinton Hill/Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, Biggie lived an almost archetypal rap life: young trouble, drug dealing, guns, prison, a giant hit record, the wealth and international superstardom that came with it, then an early violent death. Biggie released his first record, Ready to Die, in 1994, when he was only 22. Less than three years later, he was killed just days before the planned release of his second record Life After Death. Journalist Justin Tinsley’s It Was All a Dream is a fresh, insightful telling of the life beyond the legend. It is based on extensive interviews with those who knew and loved Biggie, including neighbors, friends, DJs, party promoters, and journalists. And it places Biggie’s life in context, both within the history of rap but also the wider cultural and political forces that shaped him, including Caribbean immigration, the Reagan era disinvestment in public education, street life, the war on drugs, mass incarceration, and the booming, creative, and influential 1990s music industry. This is the story of where Biggie came from, the forces that shaped him, and the legacy he has left behind.

Book Description
"Hilarity transfiguring all that dread, manic overflow of powerful feeling, zero at the bone—Flies renders its desolation with singular invention and focus and figuration: the making of these poems makes them exhilarating."—James Laughlin Award citation "Reading Michael [Dickman] is like stepping out of an overheated apartment building to be met, unexpectedly, by an exhilaratingly chill gust of wind."—The New Yorker "These are lithe, seemingly effortless poems, poems whose strange affective power remains even after several readings."—The Believer Winner of the James Laughlin Award for the best second book by an American poet, Flies presents an uncompromising vision of joy and devastating loss through a strict economy of language and an exuberant surrealism. Michael Dickman's poems bring us back to the wonder and violence of childhood, and the desire to connect with a power greater than ourselves. What you want to remember of the earth and what you end up remembering are often two different things Michael Dickman was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. His first book of poems, The End of the West, appeared in 2009 and became the best-selling debut in the history of Copper Canyon Press. His poems appear frequently in The New Yorker, and he teaches poetry at Princeton University.

For individuals and churches, here is a beautiful story of a Savior who can take all our garbage on his shoulders-and amazingly, still stand! In addition to this story, Max explains in easy-to-understand language what Christ did for us and how to turn in our old baggage and exchange it for new life in him.
