And…So We Walked: The Inspirational Story of a Couple’s Walk Across America by Rick and Jane McKinney

And…So We Walked: The Inspirational Story of a Couple’s Walk Across America by Rick and Jane McKinney

How would you respond if asked to do something you knew was impossible? Something so difficult, so crazy, so beyond your ability that it didn’t even make sense. You’d dismiss it, forget about it, and act like you were never asked, right? But what if it were God asking? What if you were absolutely sure that you had just heard God speak?

This is that story. The story of two very unlikely people who were asked by God to walk across America. They were to walk from one side of the country to the other, in every conceivable kind of weather, facing what seemed like insurmountable odds, taking every step together and accomplishing it in just six months.

Take each step with them: Meet the people they met, hear the prayers they prayed, feel their pain and celebrate their victories. This is the incredible, true account of their once-in-a-lifetime, adventurous journey.

Aliénor d’Aquitaine: Édition Élèves & Enseignants

About : Aliénor d’Aquitaine: Édition Élèves & Enseignants by Laurel A. Rockefeller

Jeune fille, Aliénor était le parti le plus recherché de toute la Chrétienté… et pas seulement à cause de sa beauté. Fille aînée du duc Guillaume X d’Aquitaine, elle avait hérité de son immense duché à l’âge de 15 ans et fut couronnée reine des Francs la même année.

Mais l’amour ne fut pas au rendez-vous pour cette magnifique duchesse, malgré deux mariages et dix enfants. Pourtant les troubadours chantèrent ses louanges, composèrent pour elle les premières chansons d’amour courtois, et c’est en son honneur que furent déclamées pour la première fois les légendes du roi Arthur et des chevaliers de la table ronde. Aliénor façonna deux empires naissants et fit de l’Aquitaine l’alliée de l’Angleterre la plus fiable sur le continent.

Aliénor d’Aquitaine fut une légende à son époque, elle l’est encore à la nôtre. Voici son histoire.

L’édition Étudiant et Enseignant contient des questions d’étude pour chaque chapitre.

Retrouvez Aliénor d’Aquitaine sur LibroFM, Spotify, Hoopla, Everand et chez un revendeur près de chez vous.

Unraveled: A Mother and Son Story of Addiction and Redemption by Laura Cook Boldt

About Featured Book: Unraveled: A Mother and Son Story of Addiction and Redemption by Laura Cook Boldt

$0.99 for a limited Time! June 1-30.

With intense courage and candor, mother and son coauthors, Laura and Tom Boldt, share the raw accounting of Tom’s journey into alcohol and drug addiction and how that trauma reverberated throughout their circle of family, friends, and extended family. The book also charts Laura, who has a backstory. She is more than a mother standing by watching the life of her promising young son come undone. She has struggled with alcohol addiction firsthand but remains emotionally and physically sober and present for her son during his collision course with disaster. The Boldt family’s love and compassion is palpable as they work their way through deep fear, sleepless nights, and crushing setbacks.

This is a riveting portrayal of the agonies of addiction and how one family faced their issues and found a stronger, more sustainable path forward. Many readers will undoubtedly see themselves in these stories and will come away with an abiding sense of hope—not just for Tommy and Laura, but for themselves, too.

The writing in Unraveled is brilliant and fresh, and the two voices working together and against each other makes Unraveled even more memorable. Tommy's gift for zingy one-liners energizes the story and contrasts cleverly with Laura's witty yet measured and concerned maternal tone.

Unraveled is a tale of chaos and near-death experiences that shares personal and private moments and the intense challenges and grueling work it takes to get sober and remain sober. It’s a unique story of a mother and son’s journey that ends with on-your-knees epiphanies that leave both parent and child asking for help. This tandem narrative is a compelling testimony of bravery and honesty that, with edgy and surprising humor, charts a family’s slow climb out of the abyss of pain into the full power of faith, redemption, and healing.

It’ll Feel Better when it Quits Hurting by Lisa Orban

About It'll Feel Better when it Quits Hurting by Lisa Orban

Many years ago my friends and I would sit around and play what we called "Jerry Springer: the Home Game". The object of the game was to see how many upcoming shows we qualified for, with the story to support our claim, and whoever had the most at the end of the program won. I was the reigning champion. This book started off as just a lighthearted collection of anecdotes, stories shared with friends over the years to both the horror and delight of my audience. But as I began to write I realized that the humor of my life comes not from the light moments, but the dark, and without those moments being included much of the humor would be lost without that context. This book is a bit darker than I initially intended, but I hope that while reading this I can make you smile, even on occasion laugh out loud at the ridiculousness of the situations I have found myself in over the years, and that you, like me, can find the humor in all the dark places. I do not believe I have any wisdom to share in this telling, nor is it even an inspirational tale of achievement by overcoming adversity, it is simply my life that I have survived. For better or for worse, this is the mostly true, fairly accurate, and almost completely factual account of my life. Some liberties have been taken to protect the somewhat innocent and a few small embellishments were made for the sake of a good story.

BURNOUT– How a Desert Lizard Restored My Faith by Pam Young

About BURNOUT– How a Desert Lizard Restored My Faith:

Are you feeling stressed? Burnt out?

Do you sometimes wonder if it’s not just the job but your whole life that sucks?

So did Dr. Young.

Dr. Pam Young was many things in 1988 – successful college professor, faculty governance leader, and regional consultant for how to work with students who were “different.” But no one ever knew just how “different” she was…or that someone wanted her dead…

This is not a “how-to” book.

BURNOUT is the personal story of a spiritual seeker and workaholic who experienced extreme burnout aka dark night of the soul with night visions and OBEs. It shows her struggle to keep going, and tells about everything she tried – from psychologist to psychiatrist to psychic.

Remarkably, it reveals how real healing began when the author camped with spiritual leaders in a different country, in a culture vastly different from her own.
