Book Description
Distorted is a testimony of a young girl named Karah Row. Her story involves her early childhood years struggling with self-image, that quickly turns into a life altering eating disorder. As Karah grows older, she starts to encounter other struggles in life, including boys, depression, and self-harm. Karah seeks to find someone she can trust but very quickly gets blindsided. Feeling lost and broken, Karah keeps running back to her addiction for comfort. Distorted was written from a Christian perspective, so throughout this story, the author tries to get the readers to recognize where the enemy keeps getting a hold of Karah. But God, who is so merciful and powerful, carries Karah through her journey in life and eventually pulls her out of the darkness. But it starts with Karah allowing God to take the reins in every area of her life. But that is not all. Too often when stories about addictions end once they receive recovery. But in most realities, addictions and mental health do not end with recovery. Life goes on; however, the triggers and consequences of our past actions still arise. It is how we choose to deal with thoughts and triggers that bring us true recovery and freedom. We as humans, were not meant to carry our burdens alone, God wants you to lay them down at the foot of the cross. Allow the Lord to guide your hand in every direction of your life. True freedom comes through the strength of God and not our own.

Book Description
Worst. President. Ever. flips the great presidential biography on its head, offering an enlightening—and highly entertaining!—account of poor James Buchanan’s presidency to prove once and for all that, well, few leaders could have done worse. But author Robert Strauss does much more, leading readers out of Buchanan’s terrible term in office—meddling in the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision, exacerbating the Panic of 1857, helping foment the John Brown uprisings and “Bloody Kansas,” virtually inviting a half-dozen states to secede from the Union as a lame duck, and on and on—to explore with insight and humor his own obsession with presidents, and ultimately the entire notion of ranking our presidents. He guides us through the POTUS rating game of historians and others who have made their own Mount Rushmores—or Marianas Trenches!—of presidential achievement, showing why Buchanan easily loses to any of the others, but also offering insights into presidential history buffs like himself, the forgotten "lesser" presidential sites, sex and the presidency, the presidency itself, and how and why it can often take the best measures out of even the most dedicated men.

Book Description
Intriguing and endlessly contentious ideas and images of apocalyptic measure come together in the book of Revelation. It is a rich and hermeneutically complicated Scripture that, unsurprisingly, has no universally accepted interpretation. Reading Revelation compares these four major approaches to Revelation by laying out the different interpretive translations provided by each school of thought in parallel columns.
