Book Description
Emma is very interested when she learns that their speaker in school today will be a man who has not worn shoes or socks in years. She wonders why he would do that—and whether he goes barefoot even in the winter! This is how she gets to meet Dr. Jeff Brodsky. When he was asked to speak to elementary students about the tragedy of child trafficking in the world today, Brodsky was unsure how to share in a way that would help the students get a sincere understanding of this sensitive subject. He decided to tell the incredible true story of why he has been barefoot since July 2010 in solidarity with trafficked children. In doing so, he hoped to help his audience understand how, even today, children are forced into modern-day slavery. This children’s book presents the true story of author Jeff Brodsky as he talks to a group of young students about present-day child slavery.

Book Description
Our addiction to wearing shoes has been linked to conditions ranging from foot fungus and bacteria to bunions and fallen arches. Ill-fitting and high-heeled shoes cause damage to the knees and spine, and continuous wearing of any kind of shoes builds up these problems. Daniel Howell describes the benefits of a simple alternative: going barefoot. The barefoot lifestyle corrects misalignments and increases foot strength and flexibility, and it is practiced in many other countries. In a reader-friendly, accessible style, this practical book explains the health advantages of going barefoot, provides tips for increasing barefoot time, and encourages everyone to experience the health benefits and the natural, vital pleasure of a barefoot connection with the earth.

Book Description
"Angela Hanscom is a powerful voice for balance." —Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods In this important book, a pediatric occupational therapist and founder of TimberNook shows how outdoor play and unstructured freedom of movement are vital for children’s cognitive development and growth, and offers tons of fun, engaging ways to help ensure that kids grow into healthy, balanced, and resilient adults. Today’s kids have adopted sedentary lifestyles filled with television, video games, and computer screens. But more and more, studies show that children need “rough and tumble” outdoor play in order to develop their sensory, motor, and executive functions. Disturbingly, a lack of movement has been shown to lead to a number of health and cognitive difficulties, such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), emotion regulation and sensory processing issues, and aggressiveness at school recess break. So, how can you ensure your child is fully engaging their body, mind, and all of their senses? Using the same philosophy that lies at the heart of her popular TimberNook program—that nature is the ultimate sensory experience, and that psychological and physical health improves for children when they spend time outside on a regular basis—author Angela Hanscom offers several strategies to help your child thrive, even if you live in an urban environment. Today it is rare to find children rolling down hills, climbing trees, or spinning in circles just for fun. We’ve taken away merry-go-rounds, shortened the length of swings, and done away with teeter-totters to keep children safe. Children have fewer opportunities for unstructured outdoor play than ever before, and recess times at school are shrinking due to demanding educational environments. With this book, you’ll discover little things you can do anytime, anywhere to help your kids achieve the movement they need to be happy and healthy in mind, body, and spirit.

Book Description
Free Your Feet is a brand new look at the lifestyle of walking barefoot. Your shoes are actually making your feet WEAKER. You’ve been training your feet to be weak, your whole life. In fact it’s worse than that, by wearing shoes you’re stopping your body discharge dangerous atoms known as ‘FREE RADICALS’ which if left untouched with no escape contribute to (or directly cause) many chronic conditions. Free radicals are BAD! They’re so bad in fact, that they’ve been linked with the causing or acceleration of dozens of really serious, fatal diseases. And we all produce them every day, in our bodies. Now you’re probably thinking, why would our bodies produce them if they’re dangerous? And it’s not that they’re so bad, it’s just that if TOO MANY are produced and left for TOO LONG in the body, they start causing problems, pretty rapidly. And that’s the problem. We used to walk everywhere with no shoes on, and discharge our free radicals into the ground every night and all throughout the day. But now, what do we do? We insulate our feet with rubber shoes, so the free radicals stay in the body. Now, feet aren’t the whole problem, it’s also diet, and I’m sure you’ve heard the term ‘antioxidant’ and know it’s good for you in some way? This is very much the same thing. So free radicals can be FLUSHED from your system by waling barefoot, IN THE RIGHT WAY and at the right times. More on that later, but there’s more... Your POSTURE when you wear shoes When you wear a shoe, you posture and muscles suffer massively. You can’t notice it though, and it can’t easily be seen by looking at someone. That’s why most people don’t know they have a problem. That is, until they end up at the doctors because their spine is out of line, or their neck is seized up, or they have knee or foot problems.. Or anything else like that! You see, posture problems aren’t obvious usually, unless they’re REALLY bad. That doesn’t mean they’re not serious though. By wearing shoes you’re actually damaging your posture and health, and you’re making your muscles weaker. You have probably been fooled by the marketing of big shoe companies to think that you need their shoes for the ‘arch support’. That’s not the case. You need the arch support BECAUSE you’re wearing the shoe.. Not the other way around. So if you just took the shoe off, you wouldn’t need the arch support. Think about it, no animal is born with shoes, and no human is either. We don’t need them, but more importantly, they’re damaging our feet and posture among other things. Every day that you wear shoes, you’re making your feet weaker, and more likely to become injured in the future. The muscles and stabilising tendons around the foot and legs are NOT used when you wear most types of shoe. In fact, they’re just left to wither, to the point that MILLIONS of people suffer every year from foot troubles that would be avoided if they didn’t wear shoes. It’s like if you broke your leg and used crutches. The crutches help at first, but if you KEEP using them, you don’t build up the strength to walk on your own. Your muscles fade away, and eventually, you’re weaker and not able to walk properly. It’s the same thing with shoes, every day you wear them, you’re making your feet weaker, because they don’t ever NEED to develop the muscles and tendons that you were born with, to enable you to walk unaided. So anyway, I obviously ended up doing a lot of research on all of this, over the years. That research became more and more in depth and interesting, and I thought I’d finally put it into a book format and offer it to you guys. I’ve presented it in a really interesting and informative way in this guide, but in a way that’s actually fun to read. I’ve created a detailed PDF book guide to walking barefooted, and why you’d want to do so. I explain lots of things in this guide.. What you’ll learn in ‘Free Your Feet’ In the detailed, concise PDF guide you’ll learn the following: Exactly how traditional shoes damage your feet, ruin your posture and cause all sorts of foot related problems How to start walking barefoot safely, and get ALL of the best benefits with none of the risks How to reduce the number of free radicals in your body which can improve many areas of your health and fight all the negative effects we mentioned before The types of shoe that AREN’T AS BAD for your feet as most (But the chances are, you’ve never heard of these, and they look TOTALLY different to what you’d expect) How to ground yourself even if you don’t live near any actual ground or soil/grass How big shoe companies trick you into needing or wanting shoes, without really having anything to back up their claims The most dangerous type of shoe you could possibly wear, and why it’s so bad for you! The strange thing you can do to release free radicals and neutralise the inflammation in your body How to carefully walk barefoot and do it safely in adverse weather conditions which most would consider too dangerous to walk barefoot in The secret to building up ‘foot armour’ that will enable you to walk over conker shells, thorns and even glass within just a few weeks My massive mistake that I made when first starting to walk barefoot, and how you can avoid doing the same thing What 90% of people who walk barefoot are actually doing WRONG and how you can do it right Plus of course, loads more.

Book Description
Give your life away and discover God’s unique purpose for you. As a first grader living deep in the Liberian jungle, Palmer Chinchen watched a young African girl quietly pull the shoes off her feet—her only shoes, her only protection from the parasites that crawl between the toes of so many tribal children—to slip them on his sister’s feet, whose shoes were left behind in their burning bamboo mat house in the bush. That image of tribal love and empathy has stayed with Palmer and continues to drive his passions. Today, Palmer sees a new kind of tribe forming with the same kind of desires, a tribe of people who are bothered by the brokenness all around, who are passionate about goodness, justice, and beauty. They are leaving their places of comfort to feed the hungry, give clean water to the thirsty, build houses for the homeless, share clothes with the shivering and shoes with the barefoot. This tribe is ready to change the world for good, and we, too, must heed that call today. Conversational, fresh, and accessible, Barefoot Tribe dares us to break past the safe confines of our manicured suburbs and polished shopping malls to take action, take risks, and remake the world into one more like what Jesus had in mind. Your time to act is now. God wants your life. Will you speak up, step out, and do something incredible…today?

Book Description
How could something we have for free—our bare feet—be better for running than $150 shoes? The truth is that running in shoes is high-impact, unstable, and inflexible. Shoes promote a heel-centric ground strike, which weakens your feet, knees, and hips, and leads to common running injuries. In contrast, barefoot running is low-impact, forefoot-centric, stable, and beneficial to your body. It encourages proper form and strengthens your feet in miraculous ways. When you run in shoes, you not only risk developing poor form, but you also hinder the natural relationship with the ground that running facilitates. Barefoot running restores the delightful sensory and spiritual connections to the earth that you were meant to experience. Barefoot Running offers the only step-by-step direction runners need at any age to overcome injuries, run faster than ever, and rediscover the pure joy of running. Once you tear off your shoes and learn to dance with nature, you’ll tread lightly and freely, hearing only the earth’s symphony and feeling only the dirt beneath your feet. Hit the ground running with revolutionary techniques for starting out slowly, choosing minimalist footwear, navigating rough weather and rugged terrain, and building your feet into living shoes.
