Book Description
In this “energetic” (Publishers Weekly) memoir, Victor Woods vividly recounts a trouble-filled and misunderstood coming-of-age in the suburbs of Chicago, the rollercoaster ride that led him to captain a multi-million dollar counterfeit scheme, and his life-changing stint in federal prison. In 1990, Victor Woods was charged by the US federal government with organizing a credit card scam worth more than forty million dollars. He refused to implicate his family and friends for a reduced sentence. His lawyer at the time remarked that he was “a breed apart.” In his authentic, matter-of-fact style, Woods shares the details of his evolution from a rebellious teen to a white-collar criminal and what inspired him to turn his life around while locked away as a federal inmate. Woods’s misdeeds and missteps remind us that sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. His remarkable turnaround shows us that no matter our past we can always make good on a second chance.

Book Description
Undrowned is a book-length meditation for social movements and our whole species based on the subversive and transformative guidance of marine mammals. Our aquatic cousins are queer, fierce, protective of each other, complex, shaped by conflict, and struggling to survive the extractive and militarized conditions our species has imposed on the ocean. Gumbs employs a brilliant mix of poetic sensibility and naturalist observation to show what they might teach us, producing not a specific agenda but an unfolding space for wondering and questioning. From the relationship between the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale and Gumbs’s Shinnecock and enslaved ancestors to the ways echolocation changes our understandings of “vision” and visionary action, this is a masterful use of metaphor and natural models in the service of social justice.

Book Description
Committed to the Unthinkable is a small collection of thoughts whose destination is to consider that the words "I do" is not simply that which we utter at the altar ceremonially but that which anchor us through life's myriad of experiences that often shake us at the core of our marriages. Many marriages today and those to come are in trouble long before they get started because those who commit to the marriage vows will speak them, hear them but never understand their power because they quit at the first sign of trouble or discomfort.

Book Description
THE SECRET TRIPLET Find Heartskeep. Trust no one. Run! With her dying father’s words ringing in her ears and a gunman at her heels, Alexis Ryder fled to the deserted mansion called Heartskeep and learned the shocking truth—she wasn’t Alexis Ryder, but an identical-triplet heiress, a secret someone would kill to keep. Desperate to learn more, she assumed the identity of a sister she’d never met…and landed in the strong arms of the law. Officer Wyatt Crossley’s warm brown eyes and sexy smile promised safety—and tempted Alexis to forget that Wyatt thought she was someone else. Avoiding the rugged lawman would be prudent, but in a world gone mad, prudence was no match for a swirling maelstrom of forbidden desire….

Book Description
This 13 week, interactive study looks at issues many women face today and reminds them of their inherent value as daughters of the one true King. Mordecai's challenge to Esther, "Were you not born for such a time as this?" is repeated for all women throughout the ages, says Diana Hagee. Every woman has a divine destiny. But women cannot fulfill that goal unless they understand His biblical guidelines. In this interactive workbook, Diana leads women through a self-examination of their lives and their goals from God's perspective, not the secular society's. Topics such as self-esteem, diligence, attitude, goal setting and stewardship encourage women to establish a strong foundation for growth while learning to see themselves in a new light. Through scripture, thought-provoking questions and answers, prayers, practical advice and devotional ideas, women learn how valuable they are to God and how they can have an intimate relationship with Him while evaluating the standards that make them a daughter of the King.
