World's Geography of Love
World's Geography of Love weaves an imagination of a conscious and meaningful transformation of the neurotic, inflated, and unmediated heroic ego and recovery of its soul, an alignment with love. The author illustrates this recovery of soul through psycho-spiritual transformation using contemporary dreams, visions, and ancient Egyptian funerary texts. Like the ancient Egyptian Sungod, the human ego eventually reaches its noontide zenith of expressive strength before its splendor declines. Yet there is hope for the ego that falls into obscurity, for regeneration and rebirth. Indeed, the corporeal body dies and returns to dust. Yet, many times during life there is an experience of recursive renewal of imagination and creativity for those willing to endure the disintegration of unsustainable attitudes and behaviors, and who are to reconcile their psycho-spiritual shadow-sins and virtues-and become reborn in ethics and feeling.

Finding the Abundant Life
"The Bible says that to find your life you first must lose it- and, *Michele Michaels did just that! It's women like Michele who have been called to blaze the trails for so many women who find themselves alone, often losing a husband or children or family. In the first of her five-book series, Michele takes us along on her journey that didn't lead to her regaining what she lost-but finding a relationship so strong, so fulfilling and so peaceful that she's become an inspiration to all of us. Though her life should have fallen apart, Michele, instead found a life she never dared to dream was possible-she found the abundant life Jesus died to give her! In this life-changing book, Michele documents the road that led her around the world, literally, but even more-she discovered her life with her Beloved Bridegroom and found that we were meant to be His most precious bride...something she believed (and most of us believe) would happen only after we die." "I am grateful for Michele's transparency as her testimonies have resonated so loudly in my life. After coming to the realization that He is more than enough, He restored my husband as the true leader of our family and we are walking out His promise of abundance." Cierra RESTORED in Kentucky"This is not a self-help book with a checklist of things that will never work in our lives-it invites and teaches us to pursue a relationship with our Heavenly Husband. Problems will always surround us, but when we choose to give it to Him, then we can find joy and peace." Sara in Turkey"After reading this book I am now enjoying living the Abundant Life. When I started my Journey, I never thought it would be possible to be happy without my earthly husband. Having found my HeavenlyHusband, I know that I can live without anything as long as I have Him!" Yvonne in South Africa
Breaking Free from the Poverty Mentality
"For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart" (Matthew 12:34). So many women seem to fall into what *Michele began realizing was a "Poverty Mentality"-plagued with a warped mindset that solidified the belief, "I can't afford it" and/or "I'm on a tight budget." No longer trapped in the mental state of poverty, which has become the accepted norm for single mothers in today's society, Michele helps us break free from this crippling way of life and live it Abundantly. In her fourth life-changing book, Michele documents the road that led her breaking free from the poverty mentality, but even more-discovering an Abundant life with her Beloved Bridegroom Who longs to provide for His brides and remove the heavy burden of thinking ourselves impoverished."This book helps you trust your Heavenly Husband, break free from worry, and find rest with Him. When you feel like there seems to be no place to go, you'll discover it's a good place to be because God is about to step in and bless you." Amanda in Texas"After only the first chapter, I already felt like a bucket of cold water has been dumped over my face: ) waking me to a new reality! I am so very excited to see what the rest of the book has in store for me!" Yvonne in South Africa

Moving Mountains
The Bible says "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another" (Romans 13:8) -and, Michele Michaels took God at His Word! *Michele has been called to blaze the trails for so many women, now in this unique book that is part of her five-book Abundant Life series, she continues to take us along on a most exciting and freeing part of her journey. In a state of financial ruin (after her husband left her with a six-figure mountain of debt in the divorce), rather than feel buried or trying to pay it off, Michele takes God at His Word to "owe no man anything" and trusts her Savior to pay this debt just as He paid the debt for her sins. "Truly I say to you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you shall not only do what was done . . . but even if you say to this mountain, "Be taken up and cast into the sea," it shall happen'" (Matt. 21:21). An inspiration to all of us, Michele stood and watched the salvation of the Lord on her behalf. Within a year of trusting Him, she watched her mountain of debt be cast into the sea-allowing Michele to begin living a greater and much more abundant life that her Savior died to give her! Follow the principles in this book so you, too, can discover a life with your Beloved Bridegroom- becoming His most precious bride not after you die- but in order that you, too, can Live Life Abundantly. Erin "Reading this book helped me to no longer fear the divorce my husband filed, but get excited by what God would do. As Michele stated would happen if we embraced it, he immediately dropped the divorce. Now we're like two newlyweds giggling about our first date, and the wonderful future God has planned for us." Estelle RESTORED in Arizona "After reading Facing Divorce Again, when my husband approached me, I was no longer afraid and happily agreed enthusiastically, and I signed. After that everything changed. I became His bride and I knew things would eventually change but I was no longer in a hurry. I had no more pain. Victory is certain when the fight is His." Bealle RESTORED in France "Reading FDA gave me the confidence to not hire a lawyer to challenge the divorce, God intervened and the lawyer missed the deadline on the day of the hearing and the divorce proceedings were dropped. I discovered the Love of my life in the process, and it's a fairytale come true!" Alicia RESTORED in Brazil
Facing Divorce-Again
The Bible says that to find your life you first must lose it- and *Michele Michaels did just that! It's women like Michele who have been called to blaze the trails for so many women. In this unique book, which is included in her five-book Abundant Life series, Michele takes us along on a specific valley in her journey. Facing Divorce without fear by embracing the adversity. By following the words of our Savior, who taught us in the Beatitudes not to resist evil, Michele agrees enthusiastically- turning a crisis into a peacefulness that is palpable to the reader. An inspiration to all of us, without becoming entangled in any legal battle, Michele stationed herself, stood by and watched the salvation of the Lord on her behalf . . . without fear . . . because her Beloved Lord, her Heavenly Husband was and still is with her. Michele hasfound and is living a life she never dared to dream was possible-she found the abundant life that her Savior died to give her! If you follow the principles in this book, which Michele documents, you too will discover a life with your Beloved Bridegroom- becoming His most precious bride not after you die- but in order to Live Life Abundantly.

A Wise Man
Erin Thiele took A Wise Woman workbook and converted it into a men's version because of the many requests from men for a work book of their own.You hold in your hand the blueprints for rebuilding your marriage on the Rock; study them, apply them, and protect your marriage from the destruction that so many couples have experienced.Gain the wisdom you need to build your house and, gain the wisdom YOU need to guide you (and soon, your wife and your children as they follow your example)!"A Wise Man helped me become a DOER and not just a hearer of the word. Unlike all the so-called "experts," Erin's materials acted like a compass constantly pointing me back to the truth of God's Word. The book pointed me to the only Counselor who could help me: God, through His Holy Word, the Bible. The book's unique approach and easy readability helped me to work through my Bible in a way I'd never done before. Ultimately it, was God's Word that brought the conviction that I'd built my marriage on sinking sand, and that I needed to seek God with all my heart for His forgiveness. A Wise Man "works" because it is not based on man's wisdom-it's almost all Scripture, AND it refreshingly goes a step further and teaches the practical application of that Scripture. God gets all the credit, as He should. God used Restore Ministries to point me to His Word and draw me closer to Him during my time of trial, and I thank Him for His mercy. If you want to avoid the major problems that plague most marriages these days, buy A Wise Man-you won't regret it!" Dean in Maryland"A Wise Man is truly a classic piece of Biblical inspiration! The insight and wisdom it clearly dispenses, coupled with the Restore Your Marriage book, and second only to the written Word of God, were the most incredibly eye-opening texts that I have ever read in my life. I am still amazed at how penetrating the information is, and how much it helped to begin the transformation process in me. I will never be the same again, and hallelujah for that!"Jim in Ohio
A Wise Woman
Before rebuilding, you must have good blueprints. Your blueprints must be His Word, which you will find in this book-always read the Scriptures, never skip them. Next, you must find the Cornerstone that everything will be built on. Our Cornerstone is taking Jesus as your Lord, not just your Savior, then to go beyond joy as you become His beautiful bride. With a renewed mind, the Lord's blueprint, and Him by your side, you will then be able to rebuild your life instead of foolishly building it on sinking sand. Those of you who are sitting amidst rubble because your house has fallen (through infidelity or divorce) really have the advantage. You are motivated to begin to rebuild your life. This is where I was when I first began writing the book for women. It was painful for me, but it was worth every tear I ever cried!

How can you find #BlackLove and one that endures?

Love After 50
A comprehensive and intimate guide to finding, keeping, and enjoying love after fifty, the best kind of love there is. Studies keep showing that love after fifty is more satisfying than at any other stage in life, and it makes sense: at this stage, you are more emotionally stable and more focused on the present; you know what you absolutely have to have, but also what you can live without; partnering is no longer about building family and fortune--it's about sharing intimacy as grounded individuals. And sex isn't pass/fail anymore, but about becoming erotic friends. So, if this is the promised land, how do you get there? In Love After 50, journalist Francine Russo interviewed the best experts in the field and dozens of couples to help show the way. Her "practical, excellent guide" (John Gottman, author of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work) includes advice like: -How to recover from the emotional damage of divorce, the grief of widowhood, or a history of unfulfilling relationships -How to build realistic requirements for a partner -What attitudes to bring to dating -How to overcome the psychical challenges of sex and embrace your erotic selves -How to evaluate the financial, emotional, and practical results of marrying, living together, or living apart -How to deal with (hostile) adult kids to safeguard your relationship and family Love After 50 is "essential reading" (Pauline Boss, PhD, author of The Myth of Closure) that is not only practical but also unassuming and candid. It is full of real people's stories (including the author's), with vivid examples of couples who have overcome their pasts to form healthy and nurturing partnerships. In other words, it's as real as love after fifty can be.

That was, until he met and fell for the beautiful, confident Sheena Baxter, who, like him, had come from a family of diabolical dysfunction.

After a tragic loss, a woman becomes obsessed with knitting and hoarding magnificent little sweaters. When one of them is inadvertently shipped to Chile, it's stolen by a poverty-stricken single mother, and the two women are connected in more ways than one. Irene's life in a privileged neighborhood of small town Canada is all going according to plan. But when she loses a child to sudden infant death, she is unable to cope. That is, until she rediscovers the joy and comfort of knitting. So she begins. The problem is that she never stops. She is extremely gifted, and in her obsession, she designs a series of beautiful sweaters, and she fills the house with piles and piles of extraordinary woolen creations. Finally, desperate to see an end to the hoarding, her husband secretly donates the sweaters to a charity. While most of the sweaters are sold locally, one of them is inadvertently shipped off to Chile where Columba, a poor single mother who works at a used clothes depot, steals it. Columba is also struggling with the loss of a child, albeit in entirely different circumstances. But like Irene, she finds solace in the little sweater. And besides, if she hadn't rescued it, it would have languished amidst the tons of North American throw-aways in the garment cemetery of the Atacama Desert. The sweater isn't the only thing she steals but it's the most significant. What happens when her thievery is found out? Back in Canada, Irene's sweaters are sold through a boutique and they become a hot item-to the point where they give rise to a local sweater cult. But when Irene spies her sweaters in the store window and then sees strange children wearing them on the street, she's outraged. She begins to steal them back and it all gets very out of hand. Meanwhile, in Chile, Columba is so grateful for the miraculous little sweater that she conceives a way to share its mystical powers with her neighbours. But it doesn't end there. It never ends there. Sprinkled with magic realism and humor, the story exposes cultural differences, social inequities and global environmental damage caused by hyper-consumerism. But it's really about two women in search of consolation and it's about our shared humanity.
