This newly revised and expanded edition of the prize-winning Victory Gardens for Bees empowers and inspires gardeners to create beautiful spaces while supporting wild pollinators.

Although bee populations continue to be threatened by environmental stresses, new sources of hope have appeared in the years since Victory Gardens for Bees was first published. As author Lori Weidenhammer makes clear in her expanded introduction, as well as in fully updated planting charts and descriptions of community projects and online resources, there are more ways than ever to participate in building the much-needed community networks that turn gardens, fields and landscapes into healthy environments for bees. Just as citizens banded together to plant Victory Gardens to offset the perilous food shortages of World War II, collective effort can turn our gardens and communal spaces into lifesaving shelters for these essential creatures.

Through detailed garden plans and planting guides, Weidenhammer shows how bee-friendly plants are easily grown by novices and seasoned gardeners alike, and how they can be used in creative combinations for plots and pots of all sizes.

Victory Gardens for Bees is also buzzing with DIY projects that will provide nesting sites and essential supplies for precious pollinators. With plenty of photographs to help readers identify bees of all stripes, beekeeping tips and other interesting bee-phemera, this book is a must-have for anyone who wants to do their part to save the bees.

My Drive Through Hell: A Divine Intervention is the personal story of Judy Foran's journey through pain, betrayal, and faith. After a devastating accident leaves her with severe injuries and a diagnosis of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Judy's world turns upside down. She endures a long period of recovery marked by numerous doctor visits, unhelpful lawyers, and the cold bureaucracy of insurance companies.

But her physical pain is only part of the story. Trust is tested as friends proved false and betray her, while strangers step in as unexpected angels. A terrifying event while out of the country lands Judy in a foreign mental health institution, unsure if she'll ever see home again. Through every trial, however, glimmers of grace appeared-moments that can only be explained as divine intervention.

Judy's story is a powerful reminder that miracles happen every day, often when we least expect them. Through faith, perseverance, and the belief that God walks beside us even in our darkest moments, My Drive Through Hell shows that troubles can strengthen us and serve as a window to seeing the hand of God at work.

A book of fierce honesty and radical freedom for breaking out of controlling systems.

"Spiers's writing is propulsive and intelligent." -Tia Levings, author of the New York Times bestselling A Well-Trained Wife

Holy Disobedience is a gripping, unflinching story by Melissa Duge Spiers about growing up in the shadow of control, silence, and secrets within the strict, fundamentalist Seventh-day Adventist Church. When Melissa learns that her father, a respected pastor, was a serial child predator shielded by the church, her world implodes. But this revelation is only the beginning.

From being beaten for resisting a childhood home perm to seducing a forbidden public-school athlete to reclaim her autonomy, Melissa's early years were shaped by repression, shame, and indoctrination. Her escape from high-control religion launched her into a life of risk: Wall Street jobs, New York nightclubs, Hollywood hookups, and a series of abusive relationships. And yet, in these extremes, she was searching. Through self-reflection and finding her voice, and through an unexpected friendship with her father's first victim, Melissa slowly reconstructs the self she was never allowed to know.

Holy Disobedience is not just a survivor's tale. It's a story of fierce honesty, radical freedom, and the beautiful mess of becoming whole.
