Charlie was an unruly, teething yellow Labrador puppy who caused his owner Anna more headaches than joy. No amount of exercise or training could curb his fits of unbridled excitement. Charlie's ADHD-type behavior forced Anna to look for answers and solutions from many different sources and got her to explore raw feeding and natural remedies more closely. Charlie set her onto such a learning path for the rest of her life. While Anna was searching for ways to solve Charlie's behavioral problems, she came face-to-face with her own negative behaviors and feelings. This personal journey took her somewhere even deeper, to the ultimate source of unconditional love. Charlie and the Love Factory is a deep, harrowingly personal memoir that introduces the reader to complementary forms of healing and the fascinating world of animal communication. This book will make a deep impression on the reader and get them to ponder more deeply their own relationship with their pets.

It has long been acknowledged that Berry Gordy Jr and his Motown Empire put Detroit on the International musical map but it was the creative genius of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland who would take the sound into uncharted territory. In this book Howard Priestley explores in depth the story of the three friends, their meteoric rise to fame and their fall from the heights. How they helped to put Detroit Soul on the map and the series of events that saw the collapse of not only the recognised sound of Detroit but Soul in general as the 70s gave way to a more collective sound away from the diversity of Memphis, Philadelphia, Chicago, Miami and, of course, Detroit. Priestley writes in both an entertaining and analytical way that reminds us just how many songs the trio have composed that have become an important and enduring part of the soundtrack to so many of our lives.

The one emotion that matters most to many people is the one about which social thinkers rarely speak - love. For many people, love is the thing that matters most in their lives: they are searching for love, hoping to find in love a kind of happiness that they cannot find in their work or by surrounding themselves with material goods. But where does this peculiar and powerful blending together of love and happiness come from, and why do we find it such a compelling idea today? In this short book Jean-Claude Kaufmann offers a fresh account of the history of a feeling unlike any other. The modern idea of love as passion was born in the 12th century but it was marginalized by the rise of a kind of instrumental, calculating reason that became increasingly central to modern societies. As calculating reason began to encroach on the personal domain, many individuals sought to escape from it, searching for happiness elsewhere. As our societies become dominated by calculating reason and selfish individualism, we search elsewhere for the kind of happy love that will heal all our wounds. This is why we experience so many changes of heart in our personal lives: at times we are coldly calculating and then, a few moments later, we sacrifice ourselves to love without a second thought. Written by one of France’s leading sociologists, this highly readable book sheds new light on love and happiness and will resonate with many readers.

I dedicate this work to the countless lives that have been broken or bewildered by love hurts. Many gave us a window into their shattered dreams, for your benefit. It is especially dedicated to those love hurts inflicted on children by parents, mentors and life coaches. These are hurts whose impacts have a malignant tendency to trickle down generations, with an ironic tendency to self-perpetuation. The book also seeks to encourage and provide tools for people who are still 'sticking it out'. The consequences of our teenage love games play themselves out in our adulthood. By that time it is often too late to reverse anything. The cycle can be broken. Hopefully this book will help young people think about the future of their own children when they are tempted to fool around during their own formative years. In some instances we have attempted to provide information and tools that will be essential for the therapist, counsellor or minister. There is a gentle mix of researched academic knowledge bundled with useful experiential anecdotes. For anyone who is searching for Mr or Miss Right, here is your road map whether you are the hunter or the hunted.

Jack Manning hastily packs his most cherished belongings into a backpack and leaves for Nashville, Tennessee without a word to his family and friends. He hoped to avoid their concern and even more so, any criticism about his quick decision. Jack purposely ignores the urge to see Cara before he leaves. Their recent break-up is still too fresh and he knows he isn't ready to face his guilt, or her anger. Jed and Ruby, Jack's parents find comfort in prayer and service to others while Jack is away and maintains minimal contact, chasing a music career. Her work as a Home Health Care Nurse allows her to connect with people across their community. Ruby, discovering a deep love for one particular family, decides to introduce Jed to Pauline and Tom Aiken, knowing his relationship with God would be a catalyst for change in this home. Tom has a terminal diagnosis of Amyolateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease and Pauline is tasked with his care. Several years into his journey, Jack reaches his lowest point. A visit from a mysterious beggar leads him back home and back to a relationship with Jesus. His journey is filled with joy, challenges, and at times, uncertainty. God challenges Jack to face his past to change his future.
