“WE NEED TO TALK.” In this urgent and insightful book, public radio journalist Celeste Headlee shows us how to bridge what divides us--by having real conversations BASED ON THE TED TALK WITH OVER 10 MILLION VIEWS NPR's Best Books of 2017 Winner of the 2017 Silver Nautilus Award in Relationships & Communication “We Need to Talk is an important read for a conversationally-challenged, disconnected age. Headlee is a talented, honest storyteller, and her advice has helped me become a better spouse, friend, and mother.” (Jessica Lahey, author of New York Times bestseller The Gift of Failure) Today most of us communicate from behind electronic screens, and studies show that Americans feel less connected and more divided than ever before. The blame for some of this disconnect can be attributed to our political landscape, but the erosion of our conversational skills as a society lies with us as individuals. And the only way forward, says Headlee, is to start talking to each other. In We Need to Talk, she outlines the strategies that have made her a better conversationalist—and offers simple tools that can improve anyone’s communication. For example: BE THERE OR GO ELSEWHERE. Human beings are incapable of multitasking, and this is especially true of tasks that involve language. Think you can type up a few emails while on a business call, or hold a conversation with your child while texting your spouse? Think again. CHECK YOUR BIAS. The belief that your intelligence protects you from erroneous assumptions can end up making you more vulnerable to them. We all have blind spots that affect the way we view others. Check your bias before you judge someone else. HIDE YOUR PHONE. Don’t just put down your phone, put it away. New research suggests that the mere presence of a cell phone can negatively impact the quality of a conversation. Whether you’re struggling to communicate with your kid’s teacher at school, an employee at work, or the people you love the most—Headlee offers smart strategies that can help us all have conversations that matter.

When we become Christians, we all learn to pray. We learn that when we pray, we’re addressing the Almighty God who sits enthroned in glory and power; accordingly, we must approach Him with respect and honor. But what if there is more to prayer than that? What if God can also be a dear friend who wants to hear about the highs and lows of our regular lives? What if the God who breathed out the galaxies just wants to chat with you? Let’s Chat introduces the Jesus who wants to be a part of your everyday life in a personal, intimate way. Speaker and discipleship leader Renee Richter presents a thirty-day journey toward learning a new sort of prayer, one in which you can experience friendship with Jesus. She draws from her own personal testimony and from the stories of biblical heroes to show how prayer can be radically more than you ever imagined it. These thirty days could change your prayers—and your life.

Relationships “Lets Get to the Point” is an e-book guide that is meant to get your relationship in the right direction. There are a lot of great books out there about relationships, but how do you actually use 100 to 200 pages of information for everyday scenarios. You can read and get really good information throughout a longer book, but when it comes time to get your point across with your partner it may be hard to put it into action. It’s just not a practical way to take what you’ve read and actually make it work in real time. Your partner may be willing to take steps to help better the relationship, but they may not have the time to read a 100 page book to do it. Some people are readers some are not. That’s why I put together a step by step guide that does not feel tedious and overwhelming. It’s simply me talking to you nothing fancy. OK people lets get to the point!

Unconscious, The Book of Pages is the poetic translation and description of a world hidden beneath the surface of everyday life.

Unconscious exposes the vulnerable and explosive personalities in each of us by delivering a collection of works that asks you to question how you feel about yourself and others. This eclectic mix of poetry takes you into that gray area where being awake and asleep meet. Where being dead and alive coincide. That place where genius and insanity coexist to produce a vast array of brutally intoxicating human emotions. That place is the Unconscious.
