A leading spiritual teacher reveals how Celtic spirituality--listening to the sacred around us and inside of us--can help us heal the earth, overcome our conflicts, and reconnect with ourselves.

John Philip Newell shares the long, hidden tradition of Celtic Christianity, explaining how this earth-based spirituality can help us rediscover the natural rhythms of life and deepen our spiritual connection with God, with each other, and with the earth. Newell introduces some of Celtic Christianity's leading practitioners, both saints and pioneers of faith, whose timeless wisdom is more necessary than ever, including:

Pelagius, who shows us how to look beyond sin to affirm our sacredness as part of all God's creation, and courageously stand up for our principles in the face of oppression.

Brigid of Kildare, who illuminates the interrelationship of all things and reminds us of the power of the sacred feminine to overcome those seeking to control us.

John Muir, who encourages us to see the holiness and beauty of wilderness and what we must do to protect these gifts.

Teilhard de Chardin, who inspires us to see how science, faith, and our future tell one universal story that begins with sacredness.

By embracing the wisdom of Celtic Christianity, we can learn how to listen to the sacred and see the divine in all of creation and within each of us. Human beings are inherently spiritual creatures who intuitively see the sacred in nature and within one another, but our cultures--and at times even our faiths--have made us forget what each of us already know deep in our souls but have learned to suppress. Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul offers a new spiritual foundation for our lives, once centered on encouragement, guidance, and hope for creating a better world.

Stop feeling frustrated by what you are not accomplishing and start making practical steps toward achieving your goals.

Loving someone who has an addiction problem is like being trapped on a roller-coaster of painful emotions.

You never know what's going to happen from one moment to the next. It can be like living a re-occurring nightmare that you can't wake up from.

The ongoing lies and the broken promises, the constant worry and fear, the dwindling hope that someday things will change.

You know the story...

It's downright exasperating.

Whether the addict in your life is your spouse, partner, parent, child, friend, or colleague, the goods news is there is a way to end your suffering and Loving an Addict, Loving Yourself: The Top 10 Survival Tips for Loving Someone with an Addiction shows you how.

It doesn't matter what kind of addictive behavior your loved one is struggling with.

It could be alcohol and drug misuse; an eating disorder; smoking; gambling; an Internet, relationship, or sex addiction; or compulsive shopping and over-spending.

All addictions have negative consequences for loved ones.

It's not news that many family and friends get caught in the "cycle of addiction" and don't know how to untangle themselves from the spiral of destruction the addict is engaging in.

Candace shows you that the key to changing this painful reality for yourself lies in shifting your focus from your loved one's addiction to your own self-care.

She shows you how to stop doing the things that are not only making your own life miserable, but which are also "enabling" the addict to continue on the path of destruction.

However, thanks to this ground-breaking book you can now discover how to help yourself disengage from the ugly path of addiction.

Loving an Addict, Loving Yourself Shows You How to Stop the Cycle of Pain and Chaos

Loving an Addict, Loving Yourself presents a dramatically fresh approach to help you get off your loved one's roller-coaster chaos of addiction, maintain your own sanity and serenity, and live your best life.

The book clearly and simply outlines 10 things you can do to take back control of your life. It covers all aspects of loving an addict. It will help you:

• Understand the true nature of addiction.
• Face the truth even when you don't want to.
• See your own behavior more clearly.
• Set boundaries with the addict when they ask for something that will only hurt them--or you--further.
• And most importantly, how to look after YOU.

This book helps you see that it's not your fault. Your intentions have been in the right place, you just haven't known what to do. You've done everything you can to try to help, and yet nothing you've done has worked. It's time for a new approach--an approach that works!

Even though it may seem daunting at first to cease engaging in behaviors that appear to help your loved one, Loving an Addict, Loving Yourself describes how once you take this crucial step, not only does your life start getting better, but it also encourages the addict to make important decisions that could end up being life changing for them as well.

Although Candace acknowledges that the addict may be helped through the actions you take to help yourself, the central theme of the book is that -- no matter what -- you must make this shift for your own sake!

A stunning and timely creative call-to-arms combining four extraordinary written pieces by Neil Gaiman illustrated with the striking four-color artwork of Chris Riddell.

"The world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before."--Neil Gaiman

Drawn from Gaiman's trove of published speeches, poems, and creative manifestos, Art Matters is an embodiment of this remarkable multi-media artist's vision--an exploration of how reading, imagining, and creating can transform the world and our lives.

Art Matters bring together four of Gaiman's most beloved writings on creativity and artistry:

• "Credo," his remarkably concise and relevant manifesto on free expression, first delivered in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo shootings
• "Make Good Art," his famous 2012 commencement address delivered at the Philadelphia University of the Arts
• "Making a Chair," a poem about the joys of creating something, even when words won't come
• "On Libraries," an impassioned argument for libraries that illuminates their importance to our future and celebrates how they foster readers and daydreamers

Featuring original illustrations by Gaiman's longtime illustrator, Chris Riddell, Art Matters is a stirring testament to the freedom of ideas that inspires us to make art in the face of adversity, and dares us to choose to be bold.
