Vincent lives on a cargo ship. His paws have never touched land. He spends his days chasing seagulls and eating fresh fish, and at night he stares at the stars that chart his ship’s course. The cargo ship makes stops all over the world but it never stops at “home.” What is “home?” Vincent wonders. As the ship makes one final stop, Vincent takes his first steps on land and follows a crew member to his home. Alone for the first time, Vincent wanders the city until he discovers the most important thing: Home is where the people you love are.

Book Description
GOD, IT'S NOT WORKING! Haven't we all said that? After another futile attempt at pursuing his dreams, after rounds of affirmations and visualizations, author Vincent Genna yelled, "God, it's not working!" Is there something wrong with me? How come so many seem to be living abundant lives and yet I'm still struggling to get some positive momentum in mine? Genna, metaphysician, psychotherapist, and spiritual teacher realized he's not alone. People trying to improve the quality of their lives spend over 10 billion dollars in the self-help industry, annually. Yet, most are still in unfulfilling jobs and relationships. Some are in financial distress. They make unhealthy lifestyle choices and have yet to find their passion. Then, he discovered that people don't believe what they think they believe. God It's Not Working! is a spiritual self-help book that details the new discoveries about the human mind and "self." With years of experience and training, Genna has distinguished two previously unlabeled divisions of the mind: the Environmental-Made Mind and the Adult-Made Mind. He's also identified a newly evolved defense mechanism--Obstructive Deceit. These three energies or storehouses are constantly at play, informing our choices and blocking our innate abilities to manifest an abundant life. Building on this knowledge he guides readers through a surprising truth that makes all other self-help books work!

Book Description
Powerful YA novel by an award-winning writer about a teenager coming to terms with the suicide of her sister. 17 year old Tara McClusky’s life is hard. She shares the care of her paralysed father with her domineering, difficult mother, forced to cut down on her hours at school to help support the family with a part-time rest home job. She’s very much alone, still grieving the loss of her older sister Van, who died five years before. Her only source of consolation is her obsession with art — and painting in particular. Most especially she is enamoured with Vincent Van Gogh: she has read all his letters and finds many parallels between the tragic story of his life and her own. Luckily she meets the intelligent, kindly Professor Max Stockhamer (a Jewish refugee and philosopher) and his grandson Johannes, and their support is crucial to her ability to survive this turbulent time. NZ Post Award-wining author Mandy Hager tackles the difficult topic of suicide fearlessly, with a novel that's not afraid to go to the dark places but which resolves its story beautifully. It's uplifting and positive. Dear Vincent is also a novel about the power of love, and how the acquisition of inner peace requires forgiveness of ourselves and others.
