A “must-read” (The Washington Post) funny and practical guide to help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams. Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives—they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love. Drawing from years of research, behavioral scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury reveals the hidden forces that cause those mistakes. But awareness on its own doesn’t lead to results. You have to actually change your behavior. Ury shows you how. This “simple-to-use guide” (Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone) focuses on a different decision in each chapter, incorporating insights from behavioral science, original research, and real-life stories. You’ll learn: -What’s holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern) -What really matters in a long-term partner (and what really doesn’t) -How to overcome the perils of online dating (and make the apps work for you) -How to meet more people in real life (while doing activities you love) -How to make dates fun again (so they stop feeling like job interviews) -Why “the spark” is a myth (but you’ll find love anyway) This “data-driven” (Time), step-by-step guide to relationships, complete with hands-on exercises, is designed to transform your life. How to Not Die Alone will help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.

Giants, mermaids, laser beams, four-headed creatures, talking animals, vampires and teleporting are not your usual themes for a nice Bible study in church, right? Wrong! ‘The Father’s Love’ series is on a mission to change that notion and suggest a fantastical spin on the exploits of the heroes and heroines of The Faith. Re-told in contemporary, colorful language, the reader is whisked off to a time when gods walked freely among men. Stories of the human condition, very reminiscent of our time, are splashed on the pages, depicting the flawed and the divine through tales of lies, betrayal, revenge, lust, intrigue, love, hope, and redemption. Breaking the Bible stories into monthly bite-sizes, ‘The Father’s love - Volume 1- January’ recounts the beginning if it all; from the fall of the Prince of Darkness, Paradise lost for mankind, all the way to the arrival of the son of promise- Isaac. With accounts from the Torah, extra biblical texts and a vivid imagination, the reader is ushered into the world of the passionate affair between the Creator and humanity—the greatest love epic ever!
