What if you could choose your mother? Would you choose differently? SHUT YOUR MOUTH! is a story that follows the trials and tribulations of a female Baby Boomer who, at the age of fifty-seven, intentionally quit the daily grind of her corporate sales career to take a job as lunch lady at an elementary school. One year later, she felt her mother's presence for the first time since her funeral five years earlier. Born in Hamlin, New York, her life-long intense, love-hate mother-daughter relationship started early in life. While her older brother and sister seemed to get along with their mother, she often felt an oppressive toughness in her that led to a resultant need to fight back and stand her ground. On the other hand, her mother Philly, who was born in Brockport, New York, had a loving yet short term relationship with her mother, Lena. Due to the untimely death of Lena when she was ten, Philly spent her entire life searching for acceptance and healing. Since she was so young when she lost her mother, her older brothers and sisters didn't have much time to influence the rose-colored glasses she wore while adoring her mother nor did Philly experience the challenging aspect of navigating an adult mother-daughter relationship with Lena. The two strong and independent women shared more than a half century of life together, resisting the rigid beliefs of a small German Lutheran Church, while learning to navigate new experiences through a more liberal spiritual lens, motherhood and grand-parenting, divorce and loss, that culminated in conflict despite the complex and compelling bond that held them together. SHUT YOUR MOUTH! is a frank account of a combative life-long mother-daughter relationship, sharing both women's sometimes humorous and often painful perspectives while moving from small towns in upstate New York to four different states and then back home again, where the daughter would say a final goodbye to her terminally ill mother dying from cancer only months after doing the same with her only sister.It's a story about acceptance, forgiveness, and the letting go that leads to the desire to heal and to reflect upon life lessons learned from a mother who was, in fact, the perfect teacher for what the daughter needed to learn. Believing that one chooses the path they lead in life, SHUT YOUR MOUTH! answers the question for one woman, "What if you could choose your mother?" Renee Rockow received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Oregon and a secondary level teaching certification from the University of Washington. She lives in Seattle, WA and enjoys travelling, the outdoors, spending time with her two Millennial sons and her very part time work as a lunch lady. SHUT YOUR MOUTH! is her first work of fiction based on the memories of a family of strong and independent women spanning three generations.

While observing exotic animal trainers for her acclaimed book Kicked, Bitten, and Scratched, journalist Amy Sutherland had an epiphany: What if she used these training techniques with the human animals in her own life–namely her dear husband, Scott? In this lively and perceptive book, Sutherland tells how she took the trainers’ lessons home. The next time her forgetful husband stomped through the house in search of his mislaid car keys, she asked herself, “What would a dolphin trainer do?” The answer was: nothing. Trainers reward the behavior they want and, just as important, ignore the behavior they don’t. Rather than appease her mate’s rising temper by joining in the search, or fuel his temper by nagging him to keep better track of his things in the first place, Sutherland kept her mouth shut and her eyes on the dishes she was washing. In short order, Scott found his keys and regained his cool. “I felt like I should throw him a mackerel,” she writes. In time, as she put more training principles into action, she noticed that she became more optimistic and less judgmental, and their twelve-year marriage was better than ever. What started as a goofy experiment had such good results that Sutherland began using the training techniques with all the people in her life, including her mother, her friends, her students, even the clerk at the post office. In the end, the biggest lesson she learned is that the only animal you can truly change is yourself. Full of fun facts, fascinating insights, hilarious anecdotes, and practical tips, What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage describes Sutherland’s Alice-in-Wonderland experience of stumbling into a world where cheetahs walk nicely on leashes and elephants paint with watercolors, and of leaving a new, improved Homo sapiens.

In the beginning, the Devil created Hell on Earth. The skies were red as fire and the oceans and seas ran deep with blood. The Devil liked what he created, so he created a demon called Beelzebub, meaning "Prince of Demons" in his likeness, and set him out into the world to enjoy the Hell that was created. The Devil explained to Beelzebub "Whatever you do don’t eat the fruit from the Garden of Hell."Beelzebub replied, “Why master, it looks tasty.” The Devil answered, “If you do, you won’t see the wonderful Hell that I have created for you. Just to make sure you don’t eat off the tree, I have created Gargoyles to guard the tree so you won’t be tempted.” Everything was going well until Beelzebub was feeling lonely and wanted companionship. Beelzebub asked the Devil "Is there any way you could create someone to keep me company while I enjoy this Hell you have created." "If this will make Hell better for you then so be it. I will make a female as your companion. I will name her Mania, which means Goddess of Hell. She will bear demon children for you both to bring up in this Hell I have created for you. Now go into Hell and have yourselves a Hell of a time," said the Devil.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'A virtuosic memoir . . . elegant, frank and well-structured, that entirely resists cliche . . . readable for both diehard classical music fans and complete newcomers alike . . . A rare feat.' - The Guardian A uniquely illuminating memoir of the making of a musician, in which renowned pianist Jeremy Denk explores what he learned from his teachers about classical music: its forms, its power, its meaning - and what it can teach us about ourselves. In this searching and funny memoir, based on his popular New Yorker article, renowned pianist Jeremy Denk traces an implausible journey. Life is difficult enough as a precocious, temperamental, and insufferable six-year-old piano prodigy in New Jersey. But then a family meltdown forces a move to New Mexico, far from classical music’s nerve centers, and he has to please a new taskmaster while navigating cacti, and the perils of junior high school. Escaping from New Mexico at last, he meets a bewildering cast of college music teachers, ranging from boring to profound, and experiences a series of humiliations and triumphs, to find his way as one of the world’s greatest living pianists, a MacArthur 'Genius,' and a frequent performer at Carnegie Hall. There are few writers working today who are willing to eloquently explore both the joys and miseries of artistic practice. Hours of daily repetition, mystifying early advice, pressure from parents and teachers who drove him on – an ongoing battle of talent against two enemies: boredom and insecurity. As we meet various teachers, with cruel and kind streaks, Denk composes a fraught love letter to the act of teaching. He brings you behind the scenes, to look at what motivates both student and teacher, locked in a complicated and psychologically perilous relationship. In Every Good Boy Does Fine, Denk explores how classical music is relevant to 'real life,' despite its distance in time. He dives into pieces and composers that have shaped him – Bach, Mozart, Schubert, and Brahms, among others – and gives unusual lessons on melody, harmony, and rhythm. Why and how do these fundamental elements have such a visceral effect on us? He tries to sum up many of the lessons he has received, to repay the debt of all his amazing teachers; to remind us that music is our creation, and that we need to keep asking questions about its purpose. 'Denk . . . has written a book that shows what it’s like to be a pianist, but also what it’s like to be Jeremy Denk. As if that were not enough, it is also about the elements of music, and beyond that an account of the ways in which music and life mirror each other. It is a book like none other' - Simon Callow, The New York Review of Books

Do you know that you are heir to a vast fortune God has in reserve for you? This life-changing story will provide you with the knowledge needed to take full possession of your inheritance. It is a riveting tale of the journey that Chaya, a Hebrew slave, embarked upon with the Israelites on the way to the Promised Land, where their lives were destined to be rich and fulfilling. Having suffered for four hundred years in slavery to the Egyptians, the Lords plan was to use His servant Moses to lead them out of Egypt, through the wilderness, and into the land that flowed with milk and honey. Unfortunately, when they were right on the verge of their destination, they rebelled against God, and He sentenced them to spend the rest of their lives in the wilderness. Like many modern-day Christians, they did not understand His wayshow He uses adversity and long waits to mature His children in preparation for the extraordinary lives He has for them. Instead of responding to the difficulties they faced by trusting and obeying Him, they complained, disobeyed, and doubted that He really cared for them. Therefore, like many Christians today, they forfeited His plan for their lives. Chaya is determined that she and her family will not make the same mistakes, but will glean the proper lessons from every experience. Walk with them as the Lord leads you into a life that is lush with purpose and abundance.

A boy doesn't become a man by accident. The truth is, it takes a special kind of father (or father-figure) to teach his son the practical wisdom he needs to build the mindset of a real man. In his book, Manhood Is a Mindset, pastor and father J. Colin Trisler points his son to the example of Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, and instructs him in the fatherly wisdom Solomon taught his son in Proverbs 1-9. His book is a text-driven exposition that follows Solomon's lead and reads as a personalized discourse--as a series of letters from a father to his son. Trisler wrote these letters to instruct his son in the wisdom he needs to grow into a man who is prepared to go out into the real world and earn a good life for himself. He published these letters to support all those other fathers who are working just as hard to mold their inexperienced boys into strong and capable men who are prepared to meet their responsibilities to God, their families, their neighbors, and themselves.
