Ted Lindberg is a complicated man. His story is as fascinating as it is engaging. He lived his early life impulsively, running away on a moment's notice, joining the army and then refusing to live by its rules, giving little thought in those years as to how his decisions affected others. It led to problems with his marriage and a drinking addiction that almost killed him. But in spite of that, his work ethic burned bright. He turned his skill as a lather into a booming business. Then, when he found sobriety, the pieces of his life snapped into place. In many ways, he saw things clearly for the first time. He was able to take the focus off himself and direct it toward his family, friends, and community. Ted's life is profoundly different now. He respects and cherishes the many gifts has been given, both for those he loves and for himself. This is one man's journey--but it's a journey that will resonate with us all.

Now a Netflix film starring and directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor, this is a gripping memoir of survival and perseverance about the heroic young inventor who brought electricity to his Malawian village. When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season's crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William began to explore science books in his village library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump the water they needed to farm the land. Retold for a younger audience, this exciting memoir shows how, even in a desperate situation, one boy's brilliant idea can light up the world. Complete with photographs, illustrations, and an epilogue that will bring readers up to date on William's story, this is the perfect edition to read and share with the whole family.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! "I had the choice to come back ... or not. I chose to return when I realized that 'heaven' is a state, not a place" In this truly inspirational memoir, Anita Moorjani relates how, after fighting cancer for almost four years, her body began shutting down—overwhelmed by the malignant cells spreading throughout her system. As her organs failed, she entered into an extraordinary near-death experience where she realized her inherent worth . . . and the actual cause of her disease. Upon regaining consciousness, Anita found that her condition had improved so rapidly that she was released from the hospital within weeks—without a trace of cancer in her body! Within this enhanced e-book, Anita recounts—in words and on video—stories of her childhood in Hong Kong, her challenge to establish her career and find true love, as well as how she eventually ended up in that hospital bed where she defied all medical knowledge. In "Dying to Be Me," Anita Freely shares all she has learned about illness, healing, fear, "being love," and the true magnificence of each and every human being!

Researcher and thought leader Dr. Brené Brown offers a powerful new vision in Daring Greatly that encourages us to embrace vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly and courageously. 'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly' -Theodore Roosevelt Every time we are introduced to someone new, try to be creative, or start a difficult conversation, we take a risk. We feel uncertain and exposed. We feel vulnerable. Most of us try to fight those feelings - we strive to appear perfect. Challenging everything we think we know about vulnerability, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that vulnerability is in fact a strength, and when we shut ourselves off from revealing our true selves we grow distanced from the things that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Daring Greatly is the culmination of 12 years of groundbreaking social research, across the home, relationships, work, and parenting. It is an invitation to be courageous; to show up and let ourselves be seen, even when there are no guarantees. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly. 'Brilliantly insightful. I can't stop thinking about this book' -Gretchen Rubin Brené Brown, Ph.D., LMSW is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. Her groundbreaking work was featured on Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul Sunday, NPR, and CNN. Her TED talk is one of the most watched TED talks of all time. Brené is also the author of The Gifts of Imperfection and I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't).

"In The Art of Stillness, Iyer draws on the lives of well-known wanderer-monks like Cohen--as well as from his own experiences as a travel writer who chooses to spend most of his time in rural Japan--to explore why advances in technology are making us more likely to retreat. Iyer reflects that this is perhaps the reason why many people--even those with no religious commitment--seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi. These aren't New Age fads so much as ways to rediscover the wisdom of an earlier age."--Publisher's description.

What would your family do if foreign powers used gangs to paralyze American cities and the heartland? What would your family do If EMPs knocked out power and society was on the brink of chaos? September 2049: Colonel Deb Lisco warns the Pentagon brass about pending threats to the security of the country from foreign enemies. They do not act on her warnings, but she does. She, along with her nephew Bill, create a safe haven in eastern Colorado where family and friends can shelter during the turbulence of the war she knows is coming. October 2051: American cities are invaded by foreign insurgents utilizing EMPs to knock out power, while homegrown rebels, on their payroll, fight the citizens to take control. 2051 is a novel about the Lisco family, who work together with friends, as the unthinkable happens, War on American Soil. It is a tale of the strength and resolve of the family as they struggle to endure the escalating threats. It becomes apparent that everyone will need to fight as the danger grows in ferocity and magnitude from enemy forces attacking from Mexico across the southern border. The passion and fighting spirit of Colonel Deb is illustrated as she battles to save the country from the approaching enemies, as her brother, Colonel Ted Lisco, fights the insurgents. Brothers Jon and Hank, along with the rest of the family and friends work to protect the farm and people who live there. The encounters the family have with strangers show the best and worst of the human spirit. Praise for 2051 2051 is a fast-paced and engaging read. I was immediately pulled into the story and drawn to the characters. It's an inspiring story of how people can come together to support one another during the most trying times. ~Stephanie Panion I read all 3 books in the series and couldn't wait for each to come out. Dan has an amazing ability to portray people, from the young Maddie to older people, all are believable. His respect for women and for family shines through, as well as his sense of humor. The books are well researched and definitely worth reading. ~Debbie Stewart Great easy reading book. I had a hard time putting it down. Love that the book talked about cars, trucks and guns from the past. Then what the future guns, cars and trucks may look like in 2051. Book presents women advancing in future and how the love of family helps keep everyone in the family safe. You see why we need a strong community to survive in disaster. Need for people to open up their hearts to create this community. Remembering that accepting all people and forgiveness is needed for a community to be formed and this community then is more powerful than its numbers suggest. - Mary Pint - An easy to read and interest grabbing book! While fiction, it is easy to see something like this happening. It makes you wonder if you shouldn't start "preparing" for such a catastrophic event... Highly recommend. The last book I tried to read I could only read for half an hour before needing a break. I read this in two nights. I found it to be one of those where you want to know how it ends and cannot wait to find out. - Dan D. Goodreads - I enjoyed the three books of 2051. I couldn't put them down. The author’s research was extensive, and the story is imaginative. -Steven Sievert Wow. This book shook me up a little. As a currently serving citizen Soldier, this hits on some fears I didn't know I had. We are now in an interwar period without a clear threat to be preparing to face. The American public has not taken the Russian chaos machine's influence on our social media and election seriously. We do not see how China is using our economic reliance on them to further its expansion. If things go wrong, the setting for this book could become real. - Goodreads review

The first four novels of the Dan Sharp mystery series, winner of the Lambda Award for best gay mystery. Collected into a single volume, the Lambda-award winning Dan Sharp series by Jeffrey Round follows a gay father and missing persons investigator as he weaves from upper-class enclaves to the seedy underbelly of Toronto and Southern Ontario. Includes: Lake on the Mountain - #1 Dan Sharp, a gay missing persons investigator, accepts an invitation to a wedding on a yacht in Ontario’s Prince Edward County. But the event doesn’t go as planned. A member of the wedding party is swept overboard and Dan finds himself deep in troubled waters as he searches for possible killers, not only in the present, but also twenty years earlier. Pumpkin Eater - #2 Missing persons investigator Dan Sharp makes a grisly find in a burned-out Toronto slaughterhouse. His search for a killer takes him deep into Toronto’s underworld. The Jade Butterfly - #3 A chance meeting in a bar sends missing persons investigator Dan Sharp in search of a woman presumed dead in the Tiananmen Square Massacre. But there may be international consequences and big players in a mystery that spans two continents. After the Horses - #4 When a notorious bar owner is found dead, Dan Sharp is approached by a couple who claim they know the killer’s identity. Reluctant at first, Dan reconsiders when he learns about the club’s shady payments to the cops. As suspicious disappearances mount, Dan finds himself targeted by someone who wants the case — and anyone connected — dead. "Such devotion to his work makes Round's writing absorbing for readers. You sympathize with Sharp, even as he falls into a whiskey-drenched hell, and you wait for him to rise again." – Xtra! "The writing is raw, the emotions are taut and author Jeffrey Round brings it together in a breathtaking conclusion." – Hamilton Spectator "Jeffrey Round is the gay Margaret Atwood!" – Luba Goy, Comedian
