Building Healthy Marriages
Somewhere around 1998/99, the call of God to do full time itinerant ministry was very strong, after God healed our marriage and we (Ola and I) started to help other couples (mostly our friends) having couples' groups and informal counseling. In 2000, when we moved from the state of New Jersey to Nebraska, the call to full time itinerant ministry on marriage began. On the advice of a mentor, to study and know everything about marriage in the Bible, I took a year to do just that and read lots of sociology books as well, which led to the writing of "Building a Healthy Marriage" workbook. The workbook focused on 12 topics, and in the early years of ministry I often insist on teaching all 12 topics in a weekend retreat setting. Over the years, as God opened doors for me to speak, the workbook has been translated to many languages - Nepali (Nepal), Swahili (Kenya), Telegu (India), Creole (Haiti), various Spanish dialects, Moore (Burkina Faso) and French. Over the 23+ years of ministry, I have noticed that churches have moved away from intense weekend retreat model to small group model for couple's ministry, and I felt it was time to convert the workbook into a small group guide. This book focus on 8 topics for 8 weeks of class or small group discussion on marriage. It can be used by a church group and non-church group. It is my prayer that as couples worldwide grab this book and bring their friends together to discuss marriage based on biblical principles, that many marriages and home will be healthy for God's glory. W. Femi Awodele is the Executive Director of Christian Couples Fellowship International, Inc., a marriage ministry based out of Omaha Nebraska for 23+ years. Femi is married to Ola (a physician) for 32 years, and they have three adult children. Femi is the author of many books, many on marriage (such as Peculiar Conflicts - African Marriages in Western Culture, and the Home Improvements Series I and II) and some on doctrine (The Character of a Leader and The Discipline of Surrender).

The Happiest Place to Cry
This is a love letter to contradictions.For college senior Madison Garrett, a long-awaited semester working at Walt Disney World suddenly turns from a dream into a nightmare when her father is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. In a flash, her family's happy life is turned upside down- just as she finishes training for her job in "The Happiest Place on Earth." While her dad endures aggressive treatment for his aggressive cancer, Madison is surrounded by balloons, parades, and nightly fireworks, struggling to understand the contrast between the terror she feels for her family and the magic she's supposed to make. In her debut and not-entirely-linear memoir, Madison traces the tension between hope and sorrow as she and her family navigate her dad's traumatic illness. When grief crashes down, the very joy, hope, and faith that got her through the contradiction of cancer at Disney World suddenly feel unfamiliar and even untrustworthy. Met with platitudes, cheesy grief books, and another job description that requires her to be joyful, Madison must yet again learn how to hold on to the legacy of her dad and the promise of herfaith in the face of grief and anguish. "The Happiest Place to Cry" is, yes, a record of deep loss. But it is also a chronicle about the stories we tell ourselves to keep going: the ones that keep us afloat, the ones that help us cope, and the ones that ensure we remember. Join Madison as she excavates loss, legacy, and the places she's cried as she learns to embrace the contradiction of being heartbroken in the happiest place on earth.

Dateable
A much-needed guide for disabled and chronically ill people to dating - from apps to hooking up, sex, and more - from disabled essayist and author Jessica Slice and bioethicist Caroline Cupp. Disabled people date, have casual sex, marry, and parent. Yet our romantic lives are conspicuously absent from the media and cultural conversation. Sexual education does not typically address the specific information needed by disabled students. Mainstream dating apps fail to include disability as an aspect of one's identity alongside race, ethnicity, gender identity, and sexual orientation. The few underutilized disability-focused apps are paternalistic and unappealing. Bestselling dating books do not address disability, and the few relationship books marketed to disabled people focus on the mechanics of sex rather than the complex interactions that create the conditions for it. In Dateable, disabled authors Jessica Slice Caroline Cupp team up to address the serious gap in the dating space. Dateable is the first book on disabled dating and relationships; it's a dating guide made especially for disabled and chronically ill people, that also calls in nondisabled readers. Jessica and Caroline take on everything from rom-com representation and dating apps to sex and breakups with a strong narrative underpinning and down-to-earth advice. The book is as much a practical tool as it is an empowering guide.

Zen Caregiving
From the executive director of Zen Caregiving Project and creator of the Mindful Caregiving Education course comes a much-needed guide offering practical advice, emotional support, and a path to spiritual solace for the millions of undersupported caregivers in the US Rosalynn Carter said, "There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers." The past ten years have supported this observation, as the number of caregivers in the US has grown from 42 million to more than 53 million. With one in five American adults now in this role, many have found that they are emotionally and spiritually unprepared for the difficult and emotionally taxing task of caring for a seriously ill family member or patient. As a caregiver himself, and executive director of Zen Caregiving Project, Roy Remer was inspired to write Zen Caregiving to help support the emotional burden many caregivers experience and to augment this essential component of our healthcare system. After developing the Mindful Caregiving Education (MCE) curriculum and teaching MCE courses for many years, Remer was motivated to share what he had learned and taught about mindfulness-based approaches to care. Designed to be motivational, therapeutic, and practical, Zen Caregiving covers: - the four components of the Zen approach to caregiving -- mindfulness, compassion, loss literacy, and self-care - how to quiet the "thinking mind" to find solace and stay grounded - methods and approaches for expanding compassion and avoiding burnout - the value of grief and processing loss - practical advice for preparing medical directives and end-of-life arrangements - how to create intimacy with oneself to prioritize self-care one breath at a time Zen Caregiving is an essential resource for those in need of spiritual guidance and emotional support as they navigate the often turbulent and uncharted waters of caring for a loved one.
Good Grieving
The issue is that so many of us (myself as well) used to think that there is a right way to grieve the death of a loved one. I have learned that this could not be further from the truth. Each person grieves in their own way, at their own speed, for their own length of time. I am very aware that one cannot and should not tell a person how to grieve. But planting a seed can help with your future processing and grieving the death of someone important to you. The seed, once planted, will grow invisible and quietly in you, and you might just find that when you need it the most, it will surface as a strong, ready-to-work idea, no longer a fledgling seed. May the writings in this book be your seeds.

The Grief Cure
"If ever you've experienced grief, or if ever you expect to, you really need to read The Grief Cure... magnificent." --Susan Cain, author of Bittersweet and QuietThe Next Big Idea Club's Must-Read Book of JuneA Bustle Most Anticipated ReadIn this lyrical and moving story of the world of Prolonged Grief, journalist Cody Delistraty reflects on his experience with loss and explores what modern science, history, and literature reveal about the nature of our relationship to grief and our changing attitudes toward its cure.When Cody Delistraty lost his mother to cancer in his early 20s, he found himself unsure how to move forward. The typical advice was to move through the five stages, achieve closure, get back to work, go back to normal. So begins a journey into the new frontiers of grief, where Delistraty seeks out the researchers, technologists, therapists, marketers, and communities around the world who may be able to cure the pain of loss in novel ways. From the neuroscience of memory deletion to book prescriptions, laughter therapy, psilocybin, and Breakup Bootcamp, what ultimately emerges is not so much a cure as a fresh understanding of what living with grief truly means. As Delistraty created his own ad hoc treatment plan, the American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization gave extended, disruptive grief an official name: Prolonged Grief Disorder. A diagnosis, based on meeting several symptoms and contingencies, has opened innovative avenues of treatment and an important conversation about a debilitating form of grief, but it has also opened a debate as to whether this form of grief, no matter how severe and unrelenting, is best approached medically at all.Braiding deep, emotional resonance with sharp research and historical insight, Delistraty places his own experience in dialogue with great writers and thinkers throughout history who have puzzled over this eternal question: how might we best face loss?
