REMEMBER ME An Alzheimer's Journey Through Art and Poetry
"Tangles, plaques, neuronsThe brain's shriveling tissueLost in a black hole."Remember Me is a must-read collection of poetry and artwork portraying the declining effects of Alzheimer's disease on patients and its impact on caregivers. Debut author Cheryl Kempner takes readers on a real and honest journey through the patient's eyes and onto a caregiver's perspective. Her poetry starts a conversation about the plight of a person with dementia and the family caring for them. Cheryl's words are hard-hitting at some points, retelling dwindling moments through the eyes of her mother to show how gripping the condition is for those diagnosed. Accompanied by the visual decline of her mother's artwork, the book offers a creative depiction of how this disease overcomes one's mind. Cheryl wants caregivers to feel less alone, validating their feelings along this challenging path. She authentically remains transparent with readers as she openly expresses the truth behind the inner conflicts faced while watching the decline of a loved one's cognition in this way. Remember Me is an artistic tool of awareness, reminding us that while those with Alzheimer's may not remember us, it is essential we remember for them.
Making Him Loyal
More and more strangers were coming to warn me in whispered tones about Mark's infidelity. The signs were overwhelming. Mark was having an affair. Some of his friends knew it and even dropped hints. At the same time, Mark bragged to them about not having to worry about me cheating. This left me humiliated and angry. It was changing me. I found myself doing things that I never thought I would. One day, I got so angry when I found him and one of his side chicks in our bedroom that I grabbed the biggest knife I could find and chased her...How did it come to this? I mean, we met at a Christian youth camp for crying out loud! At the beginning, we had lots of fun together. ​​​​​​​We were always laughing and joking. He seemed to be serious about his relationship with God and regularly gave Bible studies. We did things the right way, so what happened? Later I realized there were some signs I had ignored at the time.When my first marriage ended, I was drained, angry, and depressed, almost to the point of being disabled. It got so bad that my mother had to help bathe me, a grown woman with 3 children. I almost lost my faith. But over the next few years, God would heal me and turn my life completely around. Now I enjoy a marriage where I don't have to "make him loyal." So how was I able to move to a new country, earn two college degrees, start a new career, and rebuild a new life with my three children? To share the story of how I got into that situation and how God turned ashes into beauty is exactly why I've written this story of hope.

What Have I Gotten Myself Into?
Awakening in a haze of confusion one night a few weeks before the birth of his first son, Mark leaned over to his wife and said, "I'm not quite sure it's a good idea that we are having a kid, are you?"It was then his mind began to spin uncontrollably about all of the things he didn't know how to explain... and, if he couldn't explain things as basic as wind, television and gasoline pump shut-off valves, how in the hell was he going to be able to answer questions in a way that would not irreversibly damage a moldable mind during critical childhood development years.He immediately began to formulate a plan... just like when starting a new project at work. It was a plan to establish strategic guardrails to follow based on the complexity of the question(s) asked by his children.In his writing, Mark gives some tongue & cheek "advice" to others finding themselves in a similar quandary while sharing some personal anecdotes lending to the baseless conclusions he has put down on paper to share with whomever cares to take a read and hopefully enjoy some laughs too.Mark is a N. Little Rock, AR native who has spent the past 20+ years navigating a career in marketing and management consulting working with some of the world's largest companies. During his career he has relocated to multiple cities and traveled domestically and internationally quite extensively.As a pastime during the seemingly never-ending work travel, Mark began to revisit a passion from younger years and started putting his thoughts and stories from childhood on paper. Always enjoying pictures in books, he began scribbling down sketches to assist in the storytelling... He quickly realized he was no illustrator, so he recruited his brother-in-law (a very talented graphic designer and artist) to help in the effort.Mark currently lives in Charlotte, NC with his two children, Grant (8) & Nolan (5) and his fianc矇 Sara. In addition to experiencing all that comes with his boys growing up, his favorite pastime is to laugh & learn while enjoying the company of both new people and lifelong friends.

Come Rain or Come Shine
Husband and wife writers share their thoughts on life, family, middle age, old age and death. In a collection of personal stories, the authors talk about the world they were born into - and the world they find themselves inhabiting many decades later. This book may seem like it's about them and the people who populate their lives, but it's really about all of us. Come Rain or Come Shine, Book Two of a small series called "Live, Laugh, Love, Weep, Wail and Wonder," picks up where their first book, On the Sunny Side of the Street, left off. This two-book series is an un-chronological theme-based collection of stories about the stages of life - and how much joy and pain we can wring from each stage. Come Rain or Come Shine asks the question: Is middle age really the dividing line between youth and old age? And when, exactly, does middle age begin? More importantly, when does it end - throwing us into that realm of old age? How do we make middle age relevant? Even more challenging, how do we make old age relevant?We must die with our boots on, the writers contend. But how the heck do you do that when you've been relegated to the "older generation" table at weddings, when you've just retired from long and interesting careers, and when you've moved to a 55 and up community? The richness of life almost always comes from the people we share it with. But the truth is, the older we get, the fewer of those people there are around. If we're lucky, there's a lot of good memories tucked away with the people we've loved and lost. If we're really lucky, we can still conjure them up and enjoy them one more time.And finally, Come Rain or Come Shine considers that little bit of magic that we all seem to find here and there along the way.

TheHallWay (Weekly Devotional for Today's Thriving Couple's)
Is your marriage in a slump? Are you and your partner struggling to flourish as a couple? Does it feel as if the two of you are no longer on the same page? Is it getting difficult to connect genuinely on both an intimate and spiritual level? Are you both still fully invested, but just unsure how to get things back to a place where you experience fulfillment and joy within the confines of your relationship? First, if these questions have hit home for you and your answer is yes to one or more; you are not alone. Most couples struggle with one or all these issues at some time during their marriage or a seriously committed relationship. Hitting a rough patch and needing assistance to work your way through is no big deal and is quite normal. It's when you find yourself struggling and either neglect to reach out for assistance or refuse to do so, that it becomes a big deal. And can, in fact, be detrimental! TheHallWay (Weekly Devotional and Affirmations for Today's Thriving Couples) is not just a spiritual piece of literary art, it is a tool and a guide. This devotional, along with the weekly challenges and affirmations it possesses, is just what you need to either stay on track, get back on track, or find your track.

As you engage in the weekly challenges and engross yourself in the affirmations, you will begin to notice uplifting and progressive changes within yourself that will ultimately affect your relationship in an extremely positive and productive way. Although this devotional was written with the mindset of couples reading and participating in the challenges together, it can still be effective if you find yourself in a situation where you must go it alone.

Dr Ava Eagle Brown
In this courageous story of growing up in one of the poorest areas of Jamaica, Ava Brown learned the life lessons of perseverance and survival. From a young age, Ava's self-taught belief that she was destined for more then the community's recreational activities of sex, raising babies and going to the farm gave her the courage to forge a very different path than the one expected of her. Her story starts in a poor rural area, where the need to find food often won out over school attendance, and follows her journey through her adolescent years, which were encased in the dark shadows of incest and sexual abuse, to her young adult years when the event of being held at gunpoint finally led her to flee her home country in order to save her sanity. Yet, her resilience and love for her native country allowed her to see all of her harsh and disappointing experiences as stepping stones to becoming a strong and self-reliant woman, one who is capable of helping our society to break the cycle of poverty and its effects. We welcome you to share in Ava's journey through her book, Bamboo & Fern. Using the metaphor of the bamboo, her childhood experiences gave her strong roots to grow but made her tough and bendable like the bamboo plant, she is also like a fern, vulnerable but with a huge capacity for survival. You will experience her triumphs, setbacks and trials. Bamboo & Fern will break your heart, before it makes you smile. Be prepared for a rollercoaster ride that breaks hearts, will undoubtedly motivate, Inspire and fuel the desire for change.

This question and other fundamental questions about marriage are addressed in The Bond Called Love & Marriage.

Winter Stars
"Winter Stars is a gift - a modern classic of frontier literature documenting the uncertain journey into the country of caregiving." -Michael J. Fox.Dave Iverson was a busy broadcast journalist recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease when he decided to do something he'd never quite imagined: He moved in to take care of his 95-year-old mom. Winter Stars is the moving story of their ten-year caregiving journey. "The resulting memoir is a love story you won't soon forget," writes Elizabeth Farnsworth, former chief correspondent for The PBS NewsHour and author of A Train Through Time.By the end of this decade, 74 million Americans will be over the age of 65, including every member of the Baby Boom generation. The pandemic prompted more Americans to consider caring for their parents at home, but as Iverson learned, the gritty, life-changing reality caregiving delivers requires more than good intentions. He didn't know that his mom's dementia would pose more challenges than his Parkinson's. He didn't know he'd be capable of getting so angry. He didn't know that becoming a caregiver means experiencing love and loss, anger and insight--usually when exhausted and often on the same day. And he didn't know that moving in with his mom would challenge and change him more than any other life experience."A deeply moving memoir, Winter Stars is still more than that -- it is a guide to finding the help we all need, in one way or another, as life poses new and different challenges," praises Ron Elving, Senior Editor and Correspondent, NPRFor the vast number of families who are confronting -- or will soon confront -- the journey of eldercare, Winter Stars offers an intimate, unvarnished portrait of the challenges, choices, and life lessons that lie ahead."Honest, comforting, and true, Winter Stars is a testament to the power of family love," says Ann Packer, best-selling author of The Dive from Clausen's Pier and Songs Without Words.All royalties from the sale of Winter Stars go to support: The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research; Dance for PD; and Avenidas, a San Francisco Bay Area organization providing caregiver support.

The Glory of Marriage
The Glory of Marriage is about Christian married couples truly exemplifying God's glory in their marriages. Marriage is not just another human institution, but the one by which God would illustrate the eternal union between Christ and His Church, purchased by His own blood.

This commentary is intended to drive all married couples back to the truths of the Holy Scriptures so that they will not just endure in their marriages, but thrive in their marriages. What is needed is not another collection of opinions about how to glorify God in marriage, but knowledge of what the Designer has said Himself. This commentary focuses on the preeminent marriage passages of Scripture so that married couples can have the much needed guidance every marriage sorely needs in an age in which marriage is not esteemed and honored.
