Book Description
Have you ever wanted somebody to rescue you? Someone to understand the pain embedded deep within the surface of your soul? Someone to recognize that the emotions tumbling within you are not part of some sitcom to laugh at? As we set sail on this journey together through my various troubled waters, I pray you will rid yourself of unwanted baggage and make a choice for change in your lifes course, correcting those areas that will be honoring to Him. Discover that only by His guidance can we find strength and wisdom to undertake our daily tasks. Your lifes journey is your own. It cant be duplicated by anyone else. Learn how to persevere during difficult times by enlisting biblical principles. Only He can spiritually refresh our souls. I challenge you to make a choice for change to reflect more of Him! Choice for Change is not so much a description of real-life problems, but a prescription for real-life, scripturally based solutions. Pastor George Bryson, author of The Five Points of Calvinism, The Dark Side of Calvinism: The Calvinist Caste System, and Grace: Gods Riches at Christs Expense After reading Anitas first book, I found myself on a journey that felt like my own in more ways than I care to admit. The best sign of a great work is when it relates to the millions of readers picking it up. Anita has done just that. I highly recommend this book to everyone and dont give it away to a friend in need, rather buy them a copy. This book is a great reminder of the Lords footprints in the sand during our toughest times. Philip N. Rogone, author of The Gettysburg Ghosta love story, The Princess Frog, and soon-to-be-released Resurrection

Book Description
Whether we're buying a pair of jeans, ordering a cup of coffee, selecting a long-distance carrier, applying to college, choosing a doctor, or setting up a 401(k), everyday decisions—both big and small—have become increasingly complex due to the overwhelming abundance of choice with which we are presented. As Americans, we assume that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction. But beware of excessive choice: choice overload can make you question the decisions you make before you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations, and it can make you blame yourself for any and all failures. In the long run, this can lead to decision-making paralysis, anxiety, and perpetual stress. And, in a culture that tells us that there is no excuse for falling short of perfection when your options are limitless, too much choice can lead to clinical depression. In The Paradox of Choice, Barry Schwartz explains at what point choice—the hallmark of individual freedom and self-determination that we so cherish—becomes detrimental to our psychological and emotional well-being. In accessible, engaging, and anecdotal prose, Schwartz shows how the dramatic explosion in choice—from the mundane to the profound challenges of balancing career, family, and individual needs—has paradoxically become a problem instead of a solution. Schwartz also shows how our obsession with choice encourages us to seek that which makes us feel worse. By synthesizing current research in the social sciences, Schwartz makes the counter intuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress, anxiety, and busyness of our lives. He offers eleven practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number, have the discipline to focus on those that are important and ignore the rest, and ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make.

Book Description
Every day of your life, you'll be busy making "choices," and some will affect you for the rest of your life. Tragically, some will also impact others throughout their lives as well. The sum of a lifetime of making personal "choices" will determine the kind of life and the quality of life that you will have literally "chosen" to live. Your "choices" will determine if your life will be like you're driving down a smooth, easy-to-travel, wide open freeway. Or, if your life will take you down a "Road from Hell," filled with devastating potholes and dangerous, off the main road detours! Weighing the consequences of "Choice A" over "Choice B" before you make your decision, is a whole new way of thinking for most young people. Because every "choice" has consequences! The alternative is running the risk of having to endure the bad consequences of impulsive "choices" for a long, long time. Make this new way of thinking your "Blueprint for Success in Life."

Book Description
Every lesson, experience and obstacle that is part of life requires a person to make a critical decision that will shape his or her destiny. It is through those experiences that come from the lessons that life teaches and the obstacles that one must go through that defines truly where one's heart and purpose lies in this world. I wrote this book because I know how important decision making is in everyone's lives. There are people who like to make decisions such as finding the right career, the right person to marry, the right places to live and raise their children, even decisions that affect their overall dreams and goals. Each person was born with a purpose in this world. No one can exist in this life without one. God doesn't make any mistakes in who or what He creates. Therefore, because you are not a mistake and God created you with a purpose, you have every reason to tap into your abilities and capabilities to impact the world. If you are hungry to discover your true potential, passion and purpose in life, you will be an entirely different person after reading this book. You will have the mindset to accomplish every impossible dream and goal that many people thought you could never possibly attain.

Book Description
This timely manual presents a new perspective on teaching and learning focused on countering the impacts of trauma on adults’ ability to learn. Within its detailed and useful approaches, Daniels provides a road map for building a trauma-responsive teaching practice grounded in the principles of Trauma-Informed Care, and emphasizing the need for educators to develop a rigorous practice of self-care. Prison classrooms, in particular, demonstrate the intersectional and overlapping nature of systemic, historical, and individual traumatic experience. People who rediscover themselves as learners while in corrections classrooms have a unique and powerful perspective to bring to the work of ending mass incarceration, and the role of education and learning in that ending. The concepts and framework presented in the text aim to expand how we define "working with trauma." Through this redefinition, we better align teaching and learning as counters to the impacts of trauma. As this alignment transforms educational philosophy and practice, we have an opportunity to repurpose the nature of education itself, and shift toward learning how to learn. Although this book contains content specific to corrections educators, or those aspiring to teach in prisons, its concepts and activities are applicable to any environment or situation in which adults need to learn. Adult educators, front-line personnel in any public service role, librarians, legal professionals, judges, lawyers—all can benefit from the expertise shared in this book.

Book Description
We live in an age of media saturation, where with a few clicks of the remote—or mouse—we can tune in to programming where the facts fit our ideological predispositions. But what are the political consequences of this vast landscape of media choice? Partisan news has been roundly castigated for reinforcing prior beliefs and contributing to the highly polarized political environment we have today, but there is little evidence to support this claim, and much of what we know about the impact of news media come from studies that were conducted at a time when viewers chose from among six channels rather than scores. Through a series of innovative experiments, Kevin Arceneaux and Martin Johnson show that such criticism is unfounded. Americans who watch cable news are already polarized, and their exposure to partisan programming of their choice has little influence on their political positions. In fact, the opposite is true: viewers become more polarized when forced to watch programming that opposes their beliefs. A much more troubling consequence of the ever-expanding media environment, the authors show, is that it has allowed people to tune out the news: the four top-rated partisan news programs draw a mere three percent of the total number of people watching television. Overturning much of the conventional wisdom, Changing Minds or Changing Channels? demonstrate that the strong effects of media exposure found in past research are simply not applicable in today’s more saturated media landscape.
