Book excerpt: Joy! A Modern Fable by first-time novelist Alisha Berger Gorder will soothe your soul and warm your heart. It is a rare find, a balm for these uncertain times, one that will restore your faith in the goodness of people and in the healing power of kindness. You will laugh, cry, feel, and hope. You will root for the characters you meet and you will come away better for having taken the time to meet them. The reading is light, but Gorder's observations are deep. There are few books that will make you feel this good or this certain that the best is yet to come. Joy! is a signpost for those who believe we are all connected and that we are all part of something bigger. Take a chance. You won't be disappointed, for kindness can be taught and joy is all around you.Joy! is an easy read that thoughtfully examines the pursuit of happiness in contemporary America through the fictional lives of relatable folks who live here. Gorder's characters come to life so expertly, that it feels as if they are sitting next to you as you read. Five loosely interwoven characters--an aging and lonely pastor, a professor on the cusp of tenure, a mother who loves so, so deeply, an angry man who resents everyone who crosses his path, and a great grandfather who lives alone in the house in which he raised his family--will pull you in. Gorder brings you into their lives as they navigate hope, loss, love, parenting, family, and reinvention in this uplifting first novel by one of the most promising and observant female voices of our time.

Unable to handle the loss, Bobby has closed himself off from the world, talking only to his invisible best friend. His father Daniel is beside himself, desperate to help his son cope. Yet when the little boy meets Joy, these two unlikely souls form a deep and powerful bond. In helping Bobby and Daniel heal, Joy finds herself again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For single parents, working parents, and caregivers who worry about the time they spend away from their children, the mother of The Other Wes Moore shares strategies to raise happy, well adjusted kids. As the mother of Wes Moore, whose memoir about overcoming the obstacles that face a fatherless young black man was a huge bestseller, Joy is constantly asked: How did you do it? How can you be a good parent, have a career and stay healthy when you don't have a partner to pick up the slack? How do you connect with a child when you can't always be there? Joy's answer is "presence." Specifically, seven different ways of being a force in a child's life, ensuring that they feel your influence. We can't always be physically there for our children, but the power of presence can help us to be a voice in the back of their minds that guides them through difficult times. In The Power of Presence, Moore explores seven pillars of presence--heart, faith, mind, courage, financial freedom, values, and connectedness--that all parents can use to positively influence their children. Using compelling stories from women who have been there and practical advice on everything from savings accounts to mindfulness, this book is a compassionate look at what it takes to raise great kids even in less than ideal circumstances. /DIV

Download or read book Joy written by Alexander Lowen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1995-12-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surrender to your body and recover joy Alexander Lowen, famous student of Wilhelm Reich and founder of Bioenergetics, reveals in this book how to reclaim a natural, childlike state of joy through exercises that revive the body's vitality and liberate the energy of suppressed feelings. Using examples from four decades of clinical practice, Lowen shows how painful emotional experiences—from sexual abuse and fear of dying to the anger and heartbreak all human beings experience in life—are manifested in bodily symptoms. He then instructs readers how to listen for and answer the unique signals in the body that serve as internal cries for freedom. The vibrant health that results has a wide range of holistic benefits for the total being, including enhanced sexual pleasure and heightened spirituality. Joy, the culmination of Lowen’s life work, is a wonderfully hopeful and transformational guide from one of the pioneers of body/mind therapy.

Book excerpt: A thoughtful, sensitively written tale about a man and his adolescent daughter after the death of the girl's mother. . . . This quietly uplifting book is for parents and children of all ages. -Advocate, Stamford, CTThis book is not only charming, but it contains some great wisdom. . . . It's a terrific book . . . a great gift for you, for your family. . . -Terry Meeuwsen, co-host of The 700 ClubEric Burns is a writer fighting for family values in a razzle-dazzle celebrity-laced culture. And the characters he creates here are geniune in description, dialogue, and emotions. -CompassA powerful indictment of a culture in celebrity's thrall . . . In this little work of fiction, he's told the shallow story of our time, pretending it's just a heart-warming tale about a different kind of princess and her dad. -NewsdayThis hard-cover gift book has the power to mist up the eyes of even the sternest reader. It will be especially potent for fathers and their daughters, if the latter are in their teens or older. Because of its message, it's one heck of an emotional gift for a girl or woman to give her dad if she admires him for the person he is rather than for the things he's accumulated. -Journal InquirerDo not expect to read [this book] and still have a dry eye. [It] will be every parent and child's favorite. -Barnes & Noble EventsFinally, a book for young readers that questions the meaning and importance of fame, a book that tries to put a few human priorities back where they belong. -Ellis Henican comments on Bloomberg Radio

Book Synopsis Joy Is a Choice You Can Make Today by : Kay Warren
Download or read book Joy Is a Choice You Can Make Today written by Kay Warren and published by Revell. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Live a more joyful life--starting today. When trouble comes your way, your first thought probably isn't about joy. More than likely, you feel fear, panic, worry, anger, or even hopelessness. But here's a secret that can change your life: The level of joy you experience on any given day, in any given situation--no matter how challenging it is--is totally up to you. It's not dependent on others--what they do or don't do, how they behave, or what they say. It's not dependent on your circumstances. It cannot be held hostage by pain, disappointment, or grief. Joy is a choice, and no one has exemplified that more than Kay Warren. While this text was written before the death of her son Matthew, the message Kay wants to share with you remains the same--you can choose joy. And if you want to discover how you can make that choice--every day--you've come to the right place. Drawn from the first three chapters of Kay's popular Choose Joy, this little book illuminates the life of Jesus--a life that exhibited great joy despite opposition, sorrow, and pain--showing you that God created you not for a life of struggle, but for a life of joyful relationship with him and with others.
