Be Happy
Choosing to be happy is a lifestyle choice. Life rains on the just and the unjust. Being happy is not a choice you make because you are content with everything happening. Sometimes it is a choice you MUST make during times of absolute terror, frustration, pain, or suffering. When Paul was to face the judge alone, he thought himself Happy! When he was shipwrecked, bit by a snake, and challenged on every side, he had to know how to think himself happy. Paul prayed thrice for the thorn to be removed from his side, and Yah's response was my grace is sufficient. He learned to think himself happy and be content with a little or a lot. We also must learn to "Be Happy" by knowing and using the "Keys to Think Yourself Happy!"
The Field
Memory, grief, and self-reflection mingle in debut author Garza's account of the death of her sibling. The 52-year-old author recounts her experience with survivor's guilt, dissociation, and spirituality, as she undertook a long journey to reconstruct her identity. Throughout, the author illustrates, in observant, poetic prose, the reverberating effects that grief can have on a life and the many ways that her family has coped with it. Garza draws on multiple outside sources, including the work of Rebecca Solnit, the words of Saint Teresa of ?vila, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead, to explore how people understand and interact with death and how they ultimately learn to accept it as a constant companion. An achingly vulnerable, elegantly worded meditation on grief and recovery. ―Kirkus Review

Marriage Be Hard
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Discover the keys to upholding your vows while staying sane in this hilariously candid guide to relationships, from the husband-and-wife team of comedian Kevin Fredericks and influencer Melissa Fredericks FINALIST FOR THE NAACP IMAGE AWARD - "Kev and Melissa are not afraid to tell the truth!"--Tabitha Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Feeding the Soul Growing up, Kevin and Melissa Fredericks were taught endless rules around dating, sex, and marriage, but not a lot about what actually makes a relationship work. When they first got married, they felt alone--like every other couple had perfect chemistry while the two of them struggled. There were conversations that they didn't know they needed to have, fears that affected how they related to each other, and seasons of change that put their marriage to the test. Part of their story reads like a Christian fairytale: high school sweethearts, married in college, never sowed any wild oats, with two sons and a thriving marriage. But there's another side of their story: the night Melissa kicked Kevin out of her car after years of communication problems, the time early in their marriage when Kevin bordered on an emotional affair, the way they've used social media and podcasts to conduct a no-holds-barred conversation about forbidden topics like jealousy, divorce, and how to be Christian and sex positive. (Because, as Kevin writes, "Your hormones don't care about your religious beliefs. Your hormones want you to subscribe to OnlyFans.") In Marriage Be Hard, the authors provide a hilarious and fresh master class on what it takes to build and maintain a lasting relationship. Drawing on interviews with experts and nearly two decades of marriage, they argue that - Compatibility is overrated.- Communication is about way more than simply talking.- Seeing divorce as an option can actually help your marriage.- There's such a thing as healthy jealousy. Real marriage is not automatic. It ain't no Tesla on the open road. Sometimes it's a stick shift on a hill in the rain with no windshield wipers. But if you get comfortable visiting--and revisiting--the topics that matter, it can transform your bond with your partner and the life you're building together. Written for those tired of unrealistic relationship books--and for anyone wondering if they're the only ones breaking all the rules--Marriage Be Hard is a breath of fresh air and the manual you wish existed after you said "I do."

This is not your typical "boy meets girl and sweeps her off her feet" love story; it's more of a "bad romance" in which that broom is used to sweep (more like shove) me off of a very high ledge! These unbelievable dating experiences have thoroughly convinced me that my ideal mate either doesn't exist, is stuck in a tree somewhere, or walking in a circle in a Wal-mart parking lot. Take a comical stroll with me down memory lane as I re-live the twisted, dysfunctional tales about my quest for love and a few sensual slip-ups, along with my lively but slightly psychotic living situation.*Mature Content"My wife read this... she loved it.

Quest
Hope, kindness, faith, and the beauty of the human spirit. QUEST follows the true adventures of David Lange, a despondent New York teenager whose life changes forever after a "chance" meeting with a beautiful stranger during a summer trip to Spain, in 1982. Raised without religion and lacking self-confidence, he embarks upon an incredible quixotic journey to find and thank the woman who inspired hope within his heart. While his professional career as an Air Force officer takes him across the world and through combat in several war zones, an increasingly fantastic array of signs and portents, often verging on the miraculous, guide this would-be knight errant along a more spiritual pathway. Lange relies upon vivid descriptions from the pages of his diaries to bring to life the passion and enthusiasm of a man finding his way through the darkness and learning invaluable lessons about love, faith, gratitude, and hope. In a world that demands we follow the herd, the author strikes a forceful blow in the name of individuality and the power of forging one's own path through life.

It's a practical book with lessons that you can apply to your own marriage, or if you are not in one, it demonstrates the key ingredients that make a successful marriage." Clinton Middleton - Mindset Coach, International Speaker and Author "The book offers an interesting insight into the different dynamics of relationships. It is an informal manual for doing 'this love thing'; showing that there is no linear path covered with roses when it comes to sharing life with someone. By including stories of different couples, the author can show that each relationship deserves to be given room to grow, and it is important as the participants in the relationship need to cultivate a healthy environment that allows the relationship to grow." Kehilwe Modise-Sibanda - Professional Urban Planner, Mother, Wife and Business Owner "This book has taught me that marriage is a beautiful thing and that we complicate it. That marriage is a dance-two people need to find their own rhythm. It is unique for each couple and when you find your rhythm, it's bliss." Kay Ushamba - Wife, Mom, and a Businesswoman "Love Lives Here beautifully delivers a refreshing, honest, and inspiring view on the topic of love. The stories illustrate the unique nature of relationships while offering valuable lessons. This gem will make you understand and appreciate relationships." Tanaka Mwafuli - Sales Manager, Speaker, and a Loving Boyfriend

From There on Downhill
The title "From there on Downhill" stems from one bad decision the main character (Lineath) made that seemed to set the foundation of consecutive bad happenings in her life. The other significant aspect in this novel is Lineath's mentality or mindset. She seems to have certainty about things that she keeps justifying that her Mother has taught her. Lineath has had an attraction to much older men. She aims to find one to marry her for her to be the housewife of his dreams (something that links to what her Mother has taught her). She does achieve her goal but then it turns out that Man is a polygamist, a lifestyle she does not want a part in. However, with this man, she has already brought a child into his world when finding out completely what his life consists of. Her strain with this Man causes a distance between her and her baby. A distance that not even by the end of this writing piece, has been fixed. Lineath is then forced to start taking care of herself. She does this in two ways. One gets a job and the other engages in an activity with various older men. During this time, she experiences a lot of losses. She also, already at this point experiences regret of choices she has made. She now does seeks stability which she finds when meeting Felix Heaver. Oddly, a young Man closer to her age. But she was wrong in her thinking, as Felix's life comes with another set of drama. Lineath ultimately ends up alone, regretful but still very much caught up in a disturbing mindset.
