Tomorrow, six-year-old Patrice will meet an unexpected death, and a non-human Crossing Guard will escort her to the afterlife. Or that's the plan until her father, Keyvon, finds out.

An architect who trusts that all humanity is interconnected, he's determined to save her. His faith gets pummeled when no one will help. Then he meets Charlene, a heart transplant recipient eager to pay kindness forward.

But her anti-rejection drugs muddle her brain, and she helps the wrong mission, jeopardizing her own survival. In one short day, the flawed connections between these humans may save-or kill-them all.

Adventures of a Maybe Human explores the interconnectedness of humanity-through twists you won't see coming.

From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes an enemies to lovers, surprise pregnancy, sports romance.

Hating Jameson Murphy is easy.
Wanting him is where everything gets complicated.

He's my best friend's older brother.
My father's star player.
A charmingly infuriating football god I've spent a lifetime avoiding and failing to ignore.

He should be the last man tempting me into bad decisions. But when a snowstorm grounds our flight, and champagne blurs our judgment, one reckless night shatters every rule I've put in place . . . leaving me with two little pink lines and one very big problem.

Now, thanks to an unreliable mother, a surprise baby sister, and a new living arrangement I never saw coming, my carefully crafted life is unraveling faster than the worn satin ribbon on my favorite old pointe shoes.

And Jameson?

He's everywhere.

In my space.

In my secrets.

Looking at me like he already knows how this ends and how it doesn't.

Forcing me to face a truth I'm not ready to accept . . .

What if surrender doesn't mean losing yourself?
What if it's about trusting someone else?
And maybe . . . just maybe, what if it means finally finding home?

This is not your traditional DBT workbook.

With over 100,000 copies sold worldwide, the second edition of The Neurodivergent Friendly Workbook of DBT Skills is finally here and reimagines DBT skills including interpersonal effectiveness through a neurodiversity affirming lens.

Neurodivergent distress isn't just emotional distress. Many of us experience sensory overload, meltdowns, demand avoidance and nervous system overwhelm, as a result of living in a world that isn't designed for our differences.

This workbook acknowledges that reality.

Because traditional DBT resources aren't neurodivergent friendly, this workbook reimagines DBT skills and provides neurodiversity affirming worksheets, information and prompts on sensory regulation, meltdown support, burnout, understanding our capacity, self-advocacy, stimming, special interests, communication needs, accessible mindfulness and more.

Written by an Autistic ADHDer, this workbook guides you through neurodivergent friendly DBT skills adapted to work with your mind and differences, not against them. Instead of rigid rules, compliance-based strategies or skills that reinforce neuronormativity, you'll find practical and compassionate tools designed to support neurodivergent people across six different areas:

• Everyday Well-being
• Mindfulness
• Distress Tolerance
• Emotional Regulation
• Sensory Needs
• Interpersonal Effectiveness

Each section is colour-coordinated to stay visually engaging with a wide variety of tools, worksheets, and reflections throughout.

This workbook will help you:

• Understand your needs
• Strengthen self-advocacy skills
• Express and set boundaries
• Understand your communication needs
• Build emotional awareness
• Understand your sensory needs
• Create sensory strategies
• Build meaningful social connections
• Respond to meltdowns with compassionately
• Respond to distress in ways that work for you
• And more.

This fully revised second edition includes a brand new chapter on Interpersonal Effectiveness as well as new and updated tools and skills in the other chapters.

Whether you're a mental health professional, a parent or a neurodivergent person, you'll enjoy and benefit from this workbook.

Communion: a celebration of God's perfect plan!

God's purposes are intentional-like a masterfully woven tapestry. When you look at the back of a tapestry, the threads appear tangled and chaotic. The colors seem misplaced, and the pattern is unclear. But when you turn it over, a beautiful and purposeful design is revealed. In the same way, nothing in God's plan happens by chance. Every event unfolds according to His divine design. All of Scripture ultimately points to the Communion table and the promise of redemption. Communion is far more than a ritual-it is a celebration of God's perfect plan, woven through history and fulfilled in Christ. This book is written to help you pause and reflect on profound truths that are often overlooked. It is meant to inspire you with fresh insight into this sacred sacrament. As you read, may you rediscover the depth, beauty, and significance of Communion.

From the ancient dreamers who sought immortality to modern laboratories probing the mysteries of near-death experiences, Scott escorts us through humanity's most profound obsessions. She delves into panpsychism and Buddhist detachment with the same verve she applies to the earthy, pragmatic realities of human composting.What makes the journey unforgettable is her own presence at its center: a candid, self-aware narrator wrestling with her fear of annihilation, punctuating deep research with stories that are as tender as they are illuminating. This is not just a meditation on mortality, it's an enthralling quest for meaning, brimming with emotional honesty and intellectual daring. Scott's voice is the rare guide who can make you laugh while asking you to face the abyss, and leave you strangely grateful for the view.

Tony isn't afraid of the dark. In fact, he's drawn to the nighttime because he believes that the glowing moon is his father. Baby in the Night is a quietly moving novel that follows our narrator, Tony Volcano Ventura, through his childhood as he grows from a very curious baby into a street-smart toddler and preschooler. Living in a poor neighborhood with his loving mother, Tony grapples with the mystery of who his father is, where he might be, and what happened to him. Over the course of many surreal and secret nighttime forays, Tony eventually finds his way to the truth. Along the way, he befriends a teenage junkie and encounters various neighborhood characters: imposter moons, a giant dog, and a droopy-faced messenger. There's also a mysterious fax machine found in an alleyway-the same alley that Tony thinks might be a hideout full of face-eating pigs. Told from Tony's unusual point of view, Baby in the Night is a novel full of innocence, tragedy, and a melancholy shot through with magic and wonder.

Meeting God Through the Mothers of Scripture

Motherhood is hard. Really hard.

Tara Edelschick and Kathy Tuan-MacLean know this personally. As moms who have spent decades working with and encouraging other moms, they know the struggles real moms face in our real world. Their survey of more than seven hundred moms revealed that moms experience worry, anger, comparison, escapism, a desire for control, and even heartbreak while raising children. And moms long to connect with God in the midst of it all, but even that can feel like a challenge.

That's why we need a well. For centuries, women met daily at neighborhood wells to draw water for their families, meeting a very significant physical need. But these wells were also gathering spaces, providing much-needed community and relationships.

Moms at the Well offers a modern-day "well" for mothers--a gathering place to encourage one another, take an honest look at the challenges we face as moms, and experience the God who invites us into a process of spiritual transformation.

Through studying women in Scripture, this seven-week Bible study walks through challenges that moms face:

• When we feel unseen
• When we're worried
• When we're running from pain
• When we're caught in a comparison trap
• When we're angry
• When we're grasping for control
• When our hearts are breaking

Moms at the Well includes weekly sessions for groups of any size, access to weekly teaching videos, and five days of individual study and reflection each week. You'll study how God meets you where you are, welcomes you into honest conversation, calls you to trust and obey, transforms and sets you free, and invites you to be an agent of shalom.

This refreshing, accessible, and insightful study from trusted Bible teachers will encourage you in your faith. Meet with moms, meet with God, and find much-needed refreshment at the well.
