A Beginner's Guide to the End: Practical Advice for Living Life and Facing Death
Par Shoshana Berger, B. J. Miller. 2019
The first ever practical, compassionate, and comprehensive guide to dying-and living fully until you do. "There is nothing wrong with…
you for dying," palliative care doctor B.J. Miller and Shoshana Berger write in A Beginner's Guide to the End. "Our ultimate purpose here isn't so much to help you die as it is to free up as much life as possible until you do." Theirs is a clear-eyed and big-hearted action plan for approaching the end of life, written to help readers feel more in control of an experience that so often seems anything but controllable. Their book offers everything from step-by-step instructions for how to do your paperwork and navigate the healthcare system to answers to questions you might be afraid to ask your doctor, like whether or not sex is still okay when you're sick. You'll be walked through how to break the news to your employer, whether to share old secrets with your family, how to face friends who might not be as empathetic as you'd hoped, and to how to talk to your children about your will. (Don't worry: if anyone gets snippy, it'll likely be their spouses, not them.) There are also lessons for survivors, like how to shut down a loved one's social media accounts, clean out the house, and write a great eulogy. An honest, surprising, and detailed-oriented guide to the most universal of all experiences, A Beginner's Guide to the End is the one book that everyone needs."A timely and groundbreaking take on the roots of the Christian church and its place in the entirety of God's…
kingdom...? There is no better time than now to learn about and become firmly grounded within your spiritual heritage." -from the foreword by Perry Stone The early church was made up of Jewish and Gentile followers of Jesus, and the church's culture was rooted in Judaism and a Jewish understanding of God's relationship to His people. Over time, however, Christianity became increasingly more Roman than Jewish, and the church lost its identity. Rabbi Curt Landry's personal story is remarkably similar. Born to a Jewish mother and a Catholic father, Landry was put up for adoption, and for more than thirty years he had no understanding of his heritage, his roots, or who his parents were. But when he discovered the truth of his story, his life changed completely. The key to a life of power and purpose is understanding who you are. In this revelatory book, Curt Landry helps Christians discover their roots in Judaism, empowering them to walk in the revelation of who they really are and who they are born to be.Reclaiming Our Forgotten Heritagereveals the mysteries of the church, letting Christians grasp the power that comes from connecting with their true identity.Toil & Trouble: A Memoir
Par Augusten Burroughs. 2019
From the number one New York Times bestselling author comes another stunning memoir that is tender, touching...and just a little…
spooky. "Here's a partial list of things I don't believe in: God. The Devil. Heaven. Hell. Bigfoot. Ancient Aliens. Past lives. Vampires. Zombies. Homeopathy. Bigfoot. Canola oil, because there's no such thing as a canola. Note that "witches" and "witchcraft" are absent from this list. When really they should be right there at the top. The thing is, I wouldn't believe in them, and I would privately ridicule any idiot who did, except for one thing: I am a witch."-From Toil & Trouble For as long as Augusten Burroughs could remember, he knew things he shouldn't have known. He manifested things that shouldn't have come to pass. And he told exactly no one about this, save one person: his mother. His mother reassured him that it was all perfectly normal, that he was descended from a long line of witches, going back to the days of the early American colonies. And that this family tree was filled with witches. It was a bond that he and his mother shared - until the day she left him in the care of her psychiatrist to be raised in his family (but that's a whole other story). After that, Augusten was on his own. On his own to navigate the world of this tricky power; on his own to either use or misuse this gift. From the hilarious to the terrifying, Toil & Trouble is a chronicle of one man's journey to understand himself, to reconcile the powers he can wield with things with which he is helpless. There are very few things that are coincidences, as you will learn in Toil & Trouble. Ghosts are real, trees can want to kill you, beavers are the spawn of satan, houses are alive, and in the end, love is the most powerful magic of all.Evaluates a broad range of food and consumer products in terms of the acute and chronic health hazards that they…

Par Naomi Levy. 2017
"It would be hard to find a more upbeat, moving, and loving narrative than this... Speaking with a slight Brooklyn…
accent, she tells listeners that she views life as a tremendous opportunity for love, healing, and insight."-AudioFile Magazine. This program is read by the author. A bestselling author and rabbi's profoundly affecting exploration of the meaning and purpose of the soul, inspired by the famous correspondence between Albert Einstein and a grieving rabbi. "A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings as something separate from the rest-a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness..." -Albert Einstein. When Rabbi Naomi Levy came across this poignant letter by Einstein it shook her to her core. His words perfectly captured what she has come to believe about the human condition: That we are intimately connected, and that we are blind to this truth. Levy wondered what had elicited such spiritual wisdom from a man of science? Thus began a three-year search into the mystery of Einstein's letter, and into the mystery of the human soul. What emerges is an inspiring, deeply affecting audiobook for people of all faiths filled with universal truths that will help us reclaim our own souls and glimpse the unity that has been evading us. We all long to see more expansively, to live up to our gifts, to understand why we are here. In Einstein and the Rabbi, Levy leads us on a breathtaking journey full of wisdom, empathy and humor, challenging us to wake up and heed the voice calling from within-a voice beckoning us to become who we were born be.Muslim girls rise: inspirational champions of our time

Par Debi Goodwin. 2019
Ever since her childhood on a Niagara farm, Debi has dug in the dirt to find resilience. But when her…
husband, Peter, was diagnosed with cancer in November, it was too late in the season to seek solace in her garden. With idle hands and a fearful mind, Debi sought something to sustain her through the months ahead. She soon came across Victory Gardens-the vegetable gardens cultivated during the world wars that sustained so many. During an anxious winter, Debi researched, drew plans, and ordered seeds. In spring, with Peter in remission, her garden thrived, and life got back on track. But when Peter's cancer returned like a killing frost, the garden became a reminder that everything must come to an end.

Déjeuner avec Cora: autobiographie
Par Cora Tsouflidou. 2001
La fondatrice des restaurants «Chez Cora déjeuners», Cora Tsouflidou, est une véritable self-made-woman qui a édifié son bonheur comme son…
entreprise à grands coups de défis et de découvertes. Dans cette autobiographie, elle partage son expérience de femme, de mère et d'entrepreneure. De son enfance en Gaspésie, à son mariage avec un Montréalais d'origine grecque, à l'ouverture de son premier restaurant de quartier, au burn-out qui l'a conduite à l'achat d'un deuxième restaurant, à la création de «Chez Cora déjeuners» et de tout ce qui en constitue désormais la formule gagnante, Cora a été à l'écoute de ce que la vie avait à lui apprendre. Par exemple, que les «erreurs ne sont que des détours sur le chemin du succès», que les mots ont un «incroyable pouvoir», et qu'on est «responsable de son existence et de chacun des rêves qu'on désire matérialiser»... Déjeuner avec Cora raconte un tour de vie pas ordinaire, avec des mots où éclatent la joie de vivre et la passion d'écrire.
