Book Description
Living in a world of darkness caused Dionna to tailspin into self-harming behavior. Cutting became Dionna’s go-to behavior. The self-harming behavior eventually got her court-ordered to the Arizona State Hospital, where drugs and takedowns were a regular part of her life. After being told she would likely never leave the hospital, Dionna decided she would do what it took to get out. And after seven months in the Arizona State Hospital, she was released. Certainly not all better, she went in and out of the private hospitals. Dionna finally found Narcotics Anonymous and dialectical behavior therapy, and she began coming out of the darkness. Michael, Dionna’s husband, showed her that she did not have to run to the hospital for every emotion by creating the “hospital at home” program. It has now been fourteen years since Dionna self-harmed and eleven years since she was in the hospital.

Book Description
In one month Jeremy Fink will turn thirteen. But does he have what it takes to be a teenager? He collects mutant candy, he won't venture more than four blocks from his apartment if he can help it, and he definitely doesn't like surprises. On the other hand, his best friend, Lizzy, isn't afraid of anything, even if that might get her into trouble now and then. Jeremy's summer takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious wooden box arrives in the mail. According to the writing on the box, it holds the meaning of life! Jeremy is supposed to open it on his thirteenth birthday. The problem is, the keys are missing, and the box is made so that only the keys will open it without destroying what's inside. Jeremy and Lizzy set off to find the keys, but when one of their efforts goes very wrong, Jeremy starts to lose hope that he'll ever be able to open the box. But he soon discovers that when you're meeting people named Oswald Oswald and using a private limo to deliver unusual objects to strangers all over the city, there might be other ways of finding out the meaning of life. Lively characters, surprising twists, and thought-provoking ideas make Wendy Mass's latest novel an unforgettable read.

Book Description
Success or failure is too often tied to abstract principles without practical application. The autobiography of James E. McEachern presents in "high definition" his story attempting to bridge that gap. His life story continually emphasizes the relationship of faith, personal growth, and effort to success. In Today is My Favorite Day, you will learn the principles for transforming dreams into reality. You will also learn how goal setting in all areas of life can bring about the future you desire. This isn't the power of "magical thinking" but the power of goals and sustained effort over a life-time toward a predetermined end. It was Jim's greatest hope that by telling his story others would understand the secrets of his success and from this realize their own possibilities for succeeding in life.

Book Description
My book comes from life experiences and the joy of having girls which was, and still is, a challenge as you watch them grow both spiritually and mentally. My home life was grounded. My parents believed in discipline and old-time beatings. Living in warm surroundings with grandparents who were in our lives, and aunts and uncles who also watched over us when we were younger has taught us that life is, and always will be, about family first. As you read in my book, you will see that every day started out with either a Scripture or just a simple prayer to say Thank you, Lord for bringing me through.

Book Description
This is not your typical fitness book that would like for you to mimic everything that they have done to get you to a possible mirror image of themselves. This is a book about gaining knowledge, power and changing mindsets. I want the reader to feel that they are important enough to take a little time out to care for their bodies. As a Personal Trainer and Nutrition Counselor I constantly run into people that know nothing about changing their lives for the better as far as fitness and nutrition. The fundamentals are not there so they do not dare to attempt. I have seen so many fly by night fad diets that give false hopes and dreams but none try to start where most people are at, the beginning. Good nutrition and exercise working together has been the key to better health all along. Unfortunately living in a microwave society there are many that will come along trying to sell you pipe dreams. They leave out the parts telling that it is extra hard work that takes a lot of focus, dedication, soul searching and sacrifices. There are no short cuts, but with hard work and tenacity you will gain a better more fulfilling life. This book will not only give you the very basics for starting your journey but will also give you encouragement to stick with it for a life time. Changing your life first starts with changing your mind and gaining an understanding of what you need to do to care for it. If you start with that then the possibilities are unlimited. Hopefully Today is your Monday.
