How Do I Survive?
You are riding an emotional rollercoaster that literally takes your breath away. One minute you are feeling "okay" but then a wave of grief hits without warning and you are ready to drop to your knees. You are trying your best to manage day-to-day, but many days it is a chore to just keep going. Imagine stepping off this rollercoaster onto stable ground. In How Do I Survive? 7 Steps for Living After Child Loss, Patricia Sheveland shares how to create balance and healing in your grief. You will learn: what an effective support system looks like and how critical it is to choose the right people to be your "tribe"; simple activities to regain your physical energy, bringing peace and calm when you are feeling emotionally out of control; how abandonment, guilt, and anger can create imbalance in your emotional & physical wellbeing, and what steps you can take to release any lingering negative emotions; and the importance of ceremony and regularly honoring your child.
Not Always in the Mood
If there is one thing we know about men and sex it is that men are always in the mood. Any time, any place. Right? Wrong. Men's sexual desire has long been depicted as high, simple, and unwavering. But the new research around men's desire tells us this is far from true; and that good sex and relationships are suffering from these long-held misconceptions. In Not Always in the Mood: The New Science on Men, Sex, and Relationships sex researcher and relationship therapist Sarah Hunter Murray presents a lively, timely, and critical exploration of the newest, most surprising science on men and sex, shattering myths about men's sexuality and helping today's couples connect more deeply and authentically than ever before. One-by-one, Murray examines the most detrimental, deep-held beliefs we as a society promote around men and their desire, and dive into how they affect our intimate relationships daily - and what to do about it. Do men actually crave and enjoy sex more than women? Do men "do the wanting" and prefer the chase? Where do they stand on sexual rejection? What's the deal with porn? Answering these questions and more, this is a book for modern women and men alike. Moving beyond typical "here's what he likes" sexual tips, the book empowers readers and offers a completely new perspective on sexuality that will validate men's experiences and help their partners to a greater understanding of the psychology and emotions surrounding them.
Dying to Live
The loss of a loved one is the most excruciating pain we are called to bear. But few of us can imagine the depths of darkness that Betty Jones endured after the deaths of her three children and her husband. Lost in the valley of shadow, she was psychologically and spiritually devastated but did not seek professional help due to the cultural stigma against mental health care. Destroyed by grief, many days she would get up in the morning only to spend all day on the couch, hiding her face under a pillow. But one day, she saw her nine-year-old grandson staring at her, his face full of fear of abandonment, and she knew that no matter how hard it might be, she had to live for her grandchildren-she had to keep the promise she had made to her terminally ill daughter. At that moment, Betty began her journey back to God and self in the face of terrible suffering. She writes: I wonder sometimes if I had to die in order to live, so that I could tell women all over the world who find themselves in the midst of depression that there is a way back out . . . .Thus, I am filled with gratitude for what God has done in my life. Compelling, heartfelt, and profound, Dying to Live is a memoir that offers resonance and inspiration to every woman who has faced or is dealing with life-changing trauma.
Unconditional Love
"I believe forgiveness is the best form of love in any relationship. It takes a strong person to say they're sorry and an even stronger person to forgive." - Yolanda Hadid The idea of unconditional love sounds wonderful. We all want to be loved without reservations or conditions. However, it's not easy to love unconditionally. It's certainly easier to be on the receiving end of unconditional love, but it's not fair to expect to receive what you're not willing or able to give. Unconditional love is love without limitations or conditions. That sounds great, but what does it really mean? There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to unconditional love. What it means to one person can vary greatly from the opinions of another. It's your life, and your love to give. You can create your own definition, which you'll do later. By the time you finish this book, you'll have a much better understanding of: ● The concept of unconditional love ● How to love unconditionally ● The obstacles to loving unconditionally ● How to get a new relationship off on the right foot ● Codependency ● How to practice unconditional love in your day-to-day life "You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear." - Unknown

Vanquish
I often wonder what the key to happiness is. Am I ready to do this? Get rid of toxic relationships and live my truth? When will I realize that feeling emotionally exhausted after an encounter with a toxic person was unhealthy? When would I accept that you must meet people in life just where they are? I started to question myself. The question was, will you continue to allow them to intimidate and manipulate you? How long will you allow their many guilt trips to rock the core of your soul? Will you continue to accept their backhanded compliments or lack thereof? Will you continue to listen to their fabricated lies and participate in their quest to divide and conquer? One day I received the epiphany I was waiting for. I was in an unconscious sleep when I was jolted awake. I sat straight up in my bed, shoulders square, eyes bright-looking myself in the mirror across my bedroom, and before I knew it, a blood curdling scream escaped my lips as I screamed, "enough is enough." It is not my job to hold on to the emotional baggage of others. It is not my job to save them from themselves. This is not the type of relationship that I want in any area of my life. Be it a personal relationship, business relationships, or friendship. Every day, my mantra consisted of several sticky notes across my bathroom walls, my doors, and my mirrors. They all held words of affirmations that only I knew were like chicken soup to my soul. I was mindful and careful not to allow any negative emotions to flow through me from that day forward. That was the day I decided to drop the baggage, live my truth, and release my fears. Let me take you on a journey filled with research and life experiences.

Intercultural Families and Schooling in Japan
The purpose of this book is show how research on families can be used to offer inspiration, suggestions, and guidance to intercultural families choosing to school their children in the regular Japanese school system. Each chapter is written by a parent or parents who are themselves researchers and thus bring their skills to the task of writing about issues which have affected their families, and are likely to affect other families in similar ways. There are also suggestions for other non-Japanese parents coping with similar issues. The book is divided into three sections: The first, "Finding our own way", deals with children's and parents' struggles with identity and inclusion in Japanese schools and society. The second, "Dealing with the Japanese school system", offers narratives and advice on such topics as coping with homework and dealing with more than one school system, as well as what government-accredited Japanese overseas schools have to offer. The third section, "Coping with challenges", examines the experiences of families where children are "different" because they have physical or intellectual challenges, or live with foster or adoptive families. The book concludes with a narrative about a family who made the decision to remove their children from the Japanese system entirely and send them abroad for schooling. The authors of the chapters in this book are all current or former university faculty, living in different areas of Japan. Some, who live in highly-populated urban areas, have had ample opportunities to locate educational options for their children, while others, living in rural communities, have had to struggle to advocate for their children's inclusion in mainstream classes. Their stories are all compelling and their advice is certain to be helpful to those planning to or already raising children in Japan. This book will also be of value to researchers and educators, particularly those with an interest in bilingualism, intercultural families, and cross-cultural issues, along with anyone wishing to learn more about contemporary Japanese society.

Both Naked ... and Were Not Ashamed
Have you ever noticed how a little child can run naked through a room full of strangers without embarrassment? He/she is not aware of his/her nakedness, just as Adam and Eve were not embarrassed in their innocence. But, after Adam and Eve sinned, embarrassment, shame, and awkwardness followed, creating barriers between themselves and God. We often experience these same barriers in marriage. Ideally, husband and wife have no barriers, feeling no shame exposing themselves to each other and God. The moment there is a sin to hide; we put on fig leaves (barriers) because we have areas we do not want our spouse, or God, to know about. Then we hide, just as Adam and Eve hid from God. In marriage, lack of spiritual, emotional, and intellectual intimacy usually precedes a breakdown of physical intimacy.

A Rose has Cried but Has Not Died
In A Rose Has Cried but Has Not Died, Norma Okun offers a harrowing, raw memoir of extreme childhood sexual abuse and child trafficking at the hands of cultists who destroyed her childhood--and continued to follow and destroy her adult life, including ensuring her parental rights were terminated and her husband's medical career was ruined. Amazingly, Norma perseveres in living to tell her truth, a quality she attributes to the wonder of meeting poet Eli Sigel, who introduced her to the philosophy of Aesthetic Realism. In Norma's own words, trying to recall suppressed memories of child abuse: is like entering a new city at night and waiting until dawn to see what it looks like. The light of the sun has left, and the moon appears, and the trees turn black. Until dawn comes and things begin to appear. Fortunately, she has persevered in a life-changing memoir no one will ever forget, as she tries to rebuild her life and stay grounded in love, God, and clarity. And the workings of Aesthetic Realism.

There are so many stories that started out as cultural misunderstandings, but ended up humorous. It is often with hindsight that one can reflect upon what a magical time it was.
Daunted No More
A psychological thriller that challenges what you thought you knew..."Daunted No More had me at the opening paragraph...You will fear, love, hate, fret, hope, and cheer... and then some." (Mark Bracich, Screenwriter, Actor, Filmmaker, and Retired USAF Colonel)"Daunted No More is a captivating, fast-moving story... Great reading... and a page-turning plot. Riveting!" (Marlys Johnson, Author, Teacher)"A page-turner I could not put down... S.R. Luviek has intricately woven three unique perspectives..." (Kristy Bingham, Teacher)You pass right by them every day, in the coffee shops, at school, in the grocery store, or workplace. You probably wouldn't recognize them for what they are. Often, they don't even recognize it themselves... until it's too late.Bethany could never admit to the thinly veiled danger lurking in her home. She was too busy juggling the demands of being a military housewife and mother of three to spend much time thinking about things she didn't want to be true. But when her husband threatens their lives, she realizes how delicate their world actually is. She fights to hold all of the pieces together, terrified to let go of her dreams and everything she's worked so hard for.

And what does psychology and other science-based research say about it? After surviving two painful breakups, I listened to different women in the world of dating and close friends of the opposite sex. As they recounted their personal experiences with men, I didn't know what to think. I was confused as to why competent women, filled with feminine prowess and beauty, would ever succumb to dating these types of men. Suddenly, I had a compelling, unexpected desire to dive into the banks of my memories, expert advice, and research, devoting a fraction of my life to finding answers and then sharing them with the women of the world. My intention and hope are to lend a humble perspective to the issues of love and relationships women face--thus, The Anatomy of Love.
