How many of us have looked up to see the birds soaring effortlessly in the sky and wished that we could feel their freedom? Those of us still earthbound can, in a way, soar if we open our hearts and minds to the limitless things around us. A slight attitude adjustment is sometimes all that is needed to give us the feeling of calm so often sought and set our spirits free. In To Soar: Life is an Attitude, Joan Moos shows us through her poetry that we should make conscious choices to deal in a positive way with new situations in our lives. Just a walk in the park can find a treasure trove of new wonders. Leafing through a photo album can release memories of happy times, and learning something new can be most rewarding. In Part Six of To Soar, Moos introduces us to the joy of actual soaring flight, a pathway that she herself has taken. There are always new horizons to see, new wonders yet to behold, and new goals still to pursue. Each of us must continue to make the most of every moment that we have been granted, and be ready to soar.

Some organizations pay a great deal of attention to ensuring the physical safety of their team members, but do the team members feel safe enough to speak up and raise tough concerns? Share bold and still-in-formation ideas? In this book, bestselling authors and inclusion experts Frederick A. Miller and Judith H. Katz introduce the concept of “interaction safety” and demonstrate how it can help create a work environment of trust, inclusion, and collaboration. Interaction safety encourages reasonable risk-taking and inspires every individual to be brave enough to reach for higher goals and more ambitious possibilities. When interaction safety exists, people know they will not be penalized, ostracized, demoted, made small, discounted, or shunned because of their thoughts, contributions, and conversations. Individuals feel encouraged, empowered, and can achieve more together than they would alone. Miller and Katz provide a four-level model for assessing and increasing the interaction safety in organizations, illustrated by short scenarios taken from real-life situations. They offer concrete actions team members, leaders, and organizations can take to build and maintain a productive, collaborative, and innovative environment in which people do their best work individually and collectively. When interaction safety is a way of life, the energy people used to spend walking on eggshells, trying to get their ideas heard, navigating minefields, or avoiding those they distrust can instead be put towards doing their best work and winning bigger for the organization. With a culture of openness and true collaboration, both the organization and individuals can soar!

Tragically, the increasing condition of father-challenged homes has resulted in millions of youth damaged so severely that failure in school, in home relationships, and in careers demands that mentors (parents, teachers, coaches, correctional personnel, pastors, and probation officers) provide the instruction (Laws of Eagles) that youth should receive from their biological fathers. Otherwise, U.S. teenagers likely will not be trained in basic skills needed for successful employment and marriage.

Following Jesus is not always straightforward or easy. The material in this book is challenging but gradually builds towards the goal of becoming a multiplying disciple. The objective is to faithfully learn, understand & apply the message and power of the Kingdom of God. The course format is divided up into weeks, each containing five study days with the idea that the two remaining days are either for rest or catch up. This is done simply because the course must have some structure but it is not meant to be unswervingly followed. The point is not how quickly the material is completed but rather how deeply it is worked through and how seriously the lessons learned are applied.

Among books that discern people's reason for living, this one is exceptional for its interfaith perspective and clear text readily accessible to people of all backgrounds. Reverend Poos-Benson mines the wisdom of the great spiritual heroes — Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, Lao Tzu — to reveal a pattern in how God works in the world. He believes that God has sent us to fulfill a unique destiny; in order to find meaning in life, we must understand why we have been sent and then fulfill that purpose. Having been one of the first responders after the Columbine school shootings, he is well qualified for his focus on the thorny issue of great trauma, empowering readers to become aware of how the divine is moving through their lives in spite of tremendous suffering and evil. He also provides questions for individuals and groups to ponder, resulting in a vibrant text that leads to healing and self-transformation.

It's 1972 and Viva’s Indian family has been expelled from Uganda and sent to a resettlement camp in England, but not all of them made the trip. Her father is supposed to meet them in London, but he never shows up. As they wait for him, Viva, her mother, and her sister get settled in camp and try to make the best of their life there. Just when she is beginning to feel at home with new friends, Viva and her family move out of the camp and to a part of London where they are not welcome. While grappling with the hate for brown-skinned people in their new community, Viva is determined to find her missing father so they can finish their move to Canada. When it turns out he has been sponsored to move to the United States, they have to save enough money to join him. Told in verse, Wings to Soar follows a resilient girl and the friendships she forges during a turbulent time. "These rich, vivacious lines combine an insistence on self with undaunted hope. A supreme heart-changer." —Rita Williams-Garcia, Newbery Honor, National Book Award, Boston Globe/Horn Book Award, and Coretta Scott King Award Winner
