Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

We are not doing well. Americans are emotionally and spiritually sick and becoming unglued and more divided than ever. We are drowning in puddles and hypersensitive to a fault. It is all intentional. Whatever you believe to be the source of evil in this world, it is on the march and it is weaponizing government, academia, traditional and social media, the arts, and even the Boy Scouts and the NFL. Everything is now politicized, and it is bringing out the worst in us. Recent generations of adults are either ignorant or, worse, indifferent about the consequences of what is going on. Oddly, more of them are isolated and in despair despite having access to the world on their smartphones. They are being sold a bag of garbage about our country, our history, our values, and the principles of human nature. As a group, they seem to have an ever-diminishing relationship with God; rather they are putting their trust and faith into government. That is a bad bet, but politicians sell this free sugar to the masses. How did we get so far off course? The US Constitution and the Bill of Rights cannot coexist with big government""over time. The government cannot give someone a single dollar without first taking it from another. Needless to say, our government has already overspent trillions of the backs of these generation and their children. This will not end well. Resistance will turn to revolution. The snowflakes have no idea what is coming. They were never taught about consequences because they were too busy being told how great they were. We need to breed maturity much faster in all of us. We need a healthy relationship with our God and our government. God has a lot of countercultural demands on us about government. Deal with it. But government doesn't work. So what! We call it right-thinking.

Maybe you have days when you don’t feel so good about yourself… You’re not as tall or thin as you’d like, or maybe you don’t quite fit in or you just get left out. Well, you’ll start to feel a lot better about yourself once you start reading about Luke! Luke Lang calls himself a freak of nature. He’s a grown man who is the height of an average fifth grader—but that’s not what makes him a freak. He’s also about as wide as the average Sumo wrestler (but sadly, too uncoordinated to actually compete as a Sumo wrestler!). Luke knows what it’s like to feel left out or left behind. But he’s got a great sense of humor about his life’s misadventures, and he’s sharing the hysterical stories with you, in the hopes that you’ll feel encouraged—not just because you’re not as freaky as Luke, but because you’ll see that God can do extraordinary things through people who are pretty ordinary. While you’re reading Luke’s embarrassing stories, like the time he got beat up by a girl in Karate class or the time he was fighting for his life at Boy Scout camp, you’ll learn a little about God’s love and grace, and you’ll be reminded that you were created on purpose, for a purpose.

A woman being stalked by her childhood kidnapper turns to a local cop for help in this thriller from a New York Times–bestselling author. Twenty-three years ago Anna North survived a living nightmare. A madman kidnapped her, cut off her pinkie, then vanished. Today Anna lives in New Orleans, writing dark thrillers under another name. She finally feels safe. Suddenly Anna’s quiet life takes a frightening turn. Letters start to arrive from a disturbed fan. Anna is followed, her apartment broken into. Then a close friend disappears. Anna turns to homicide detective Quentin Malone, but Malone’s more concerned with the recent murders of two women in the French Quarter. But after a third victim is found—a redhead like Anna, her pinkie severed—Malone is forced to acknowledge that Anna is his link to the killer . . . and could be the next target. Now Anna must face the horrifying truth—her past has caught up with her. The nightmare has begun again.
