Book Description
In many ways, to write, illustrate and publish a series of children's books is like navigating a mighty river adventure! Rushing rapids of creativity that excite and frighten at the same time. Calm, soothing waters as inspired ideas flow naturally from pen to paper to page - all part of a hometown effort to instill community pride in our past, present and future.And like Indy, Oh Indy herself, our loyal Indy Pack supporters paddle alongside on each new journey. This story represents our sixth, independently published - we like to say, "Indy Pub" - children's book. But it is our first partnership with "Bring Back The Kern," whose mission is to promote a year-round flowing Kern River. Our goal is to take readers on a fun tour, showing a utopian version of the Mighty Kern River as it starts high above in the Sierra Nevada, tumbles down the rugged terrain in the Kern River Valley, then meanders through Bakersfield, California and beyond.We encourage you to seek out these areas firsthand: Use the special fold-out map as a guide. Enjoy and appreciate the natural beauty of the river's environment and surrounding wildlife. Envision what these places could be as well. Let's work together to champion a waterway with no bounds!And always remember, another mighty adventure is just around the bend ?

A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history.

Pages : 257
Book Description
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

All You Can Ever Know
Author: Nicole Chung
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1936787989
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
A NATIONAL BESTSELLER This beloved memoir "is an extraordinary, honest, nuanced and compassionate look at adoption, race in America and families in general" (Jasmine Guillory, Code Switch, NPR) What does it means to lose your roots—within your culture, within your family—and what happens when you find them? Nicole Chung was born severely premature, placed for adoption by her Korean parents, and raised by a white family in a sheltered Oregon town. From childhood, she heard the story of her adoption as a comforting, prepackaged myth. She believed that her biological parents had made the ultimate sacrifice in the hope of giving her a better life, that forever feeling slightly out of place was her fate as a transracial adoptee. But as Nicole grew up—facing prejudice her adoptive family couldn’t see, finding her identity as an Asian American and as a writer, becoming ever more curious about where she came from—she wondered if the story she’d been told was the whole truth. With warmth, candor, and startling insight, Nicole Chung tells of her search for the people who gave her up, which coincided with the birth of her own child. All You Can Ever Know is a profound, moving chronicle of surprising connections and the repercussions of unearthing painful family secrets—vital reading for anyone who has ever struggled to figure out where they belong.
