'A must read' JAMIE WINDUST 'A beautifully honest book' JUNO ROCHE 'A superb and necessary book' BEN PECHEY As a young, queer, plus-size person, Essie Dennis has spent a lot of time feeling like they weren't enough - not queer enough, not feminine enough, not perfect enough. When they took to social media to share how they felt, they were overwhelmed by how many others felt the same. I look too masculine to be non-binary I look too feminine to be a lesbian Am I too fat for drag? Inviting you to challenge accepted beauty standards and the concept of 'the perfect body', Essie takes everything they have learned on their journey to self-acceptance and body satisfaction to help guide you towards loving your queer body. From gender, sexuality and reclaiming your body, through to food, politics, social media and fatphobia, this radical book starts a conversation about body image and mental health that queer people are so often left out of. Fiercely and unapologetically written, and with honest advice and powerful stories from a diverse range of queer people throughout, this is an inspiring and necessary book that will show you that you are enough.
This book includes 250 affirmations for manifesting love AND it includes a number of visualization scripts and success stories that will empower you to manifest your soul mate! If you have read my other books you know that I am a firm believer in the fact that the Law of Attraction always responds to persistent, committed action. It does so because it is a spiritual law that responds to human belief in the same way that the laws of nature respond to all who use them. And being a spiritual law, it works for everyone in the same way no matter how young or old a person is, or how rich or poor. Daily, committed action is the single factor that will determine your success with the Law of Attraction, whether you choose to manifest financial abundance, a satisfying career, or the love of your life. In fact, the phrase "Law of Attraction" contains the word ACTION, which means that your success with this spiritual power requires you to take committed, daily action by aligning your thoughts, words and feelings to your intention. Once you have transformed your beliefs about what is possible, your desire will show up in your life. Unfortunately, many people on this spiritual path read book after book about the Law of Attraction, yet they fail to take the daily, committed action that will help them manifest their desires. My goal is that you succeed with your intention to manifest true and lasting love, so I wrote this book as a clear guide that will provide you with easy-to-use, practical tools that will help you manifest your soul mate. In fact, the information in this book has helped many people attract a soul mate, and it can work for you, too. WHAT THIS BOOK CONTAINS This is not another Law of Attraction book filled with fluff and filler. It's an instruction manual that gets right to the point by explaining exactly what you must do to manifest your soul mate with the Law of Attraction. Using proven metaphysical practices, spiritual insights, and success stories, I explain how you can create your intention and then manifest your soul mate by using the tools of manifestation correctly and consistently. By the time you finish reading this book, you will know exactly what you must do to manifest a loving relationship. PART 1 of this book discusses the creative power of feelings and how you can use them to create the things and conditions you desire. This section also explains how to get clear about what you want by creating an Intention Statement and a list of desirable qualities that reflect your specific desires.

A REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK * NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The refreshingly original and “startlingly hopeful” (Lisa Taddeo) debut memoir of an over-achieving young lawyer who reluctantly agrees to group therapy and gets psychologically and emotionally naked in a room of six complete strangers—and finds human connection, and herself. Christie Tate had just been named the top student in her law school class and finally had her eating disorder under control. Why then was she driving through Chicago fantasizing about her own death? Why was she envisioning putting an end to the isolation and sadness that still plagued her despite her achievements? Enter Dr. Rosen, a therapist who calmly assures her that if she joins one of his psychotherapy groups, he can transform her life. All she has to do is show up and be honest. About everything—her eating habits, childhood, sexual history, etc. Christie is skeptical, insisting that that she is defective, beyond cure. But Dr. Rosen issues a nine-word prescription that will change everything: “You don’t need a cure. You need a witness.” So begins her entry into the strange, terrifying, and ultimately life-changing world of group therapy. Christie is initially put off by Dr. Rosen’s outlandish directives, but as her defenses break down and she comes to trust Dr. Rosen and to depend on the sessions and the prescribed nightly phone calls with various group members, she begins to understand what it means to connect. “Often hilarious, and ultimately very touching” (People), Group is “a wild ride” (The Boston Globe), and with Christie as our guide, we are given a front row seat to the daring, exhilarating, painful, and hilarious journey that is group therapy—an under-explored process that breaks you down, and then reassembles you so that all the pieces finally fit.
What is the purpose of studying history? How do we reflect on contemporary life from a historical perspective, and can such reflection help us better understand ourselves, the world around us, and the God we worship and serve? Written by an accomplished historian, award-winning author, public evangelical spokesman, and respected teacher, this introductory textbook shows why Christians should study history, how faith is brought to bear on our understanding of the past, and how studying the past can help us more effectively love God and others. John Fea shows that deep historical thinking can relieve us of our narcissism; cultivate humility, hospitality, and love; and transform our lives more fully into the image of Jesus Christ. The first edition of this book has been used widely in Christian colleges across the country. The second edition provides an updated introduction to the study of history and the historian's vocation. The book has also been revised throughout and incorporates Fea's reflections on this topic from throughout the past 10 years.
