God sees the mess inside us; he can work that mess when we ask him to. Have you experienced something in life that causes you to spiral emotionally and mentally in different directions? A personal tragedy that changed your life forever? Then one day, something comes along and alters the ugly feelings you harbored for years. You found something""a temporary relief; a long-awaited and most welcomed feeling. As mothers, daughters, sisters, and wives, we have personal battles. Some of us are born women stars with the natural ability to succeed in most aspects of life. We were safely shielded from the evil beatings of this world. For many of us, it is a constant revolving battle in our minds and in our hearts. In an instant, a dark experience alters who we are as individuals. The experience affects who we become. We continually fall short with our womanly duties and life endeavors. We crawl through life, yearning each day for a light to shine through the cracks of our soul. Many have struggled from the horrid experience of abuse; many will turn to some form of substance in search of the ability to experience a feeling other than their own. For many, it's a lifetime of fighting, a lifetime of seeking, and a lifetime of hurt. Come with me. Let me share with you my true personal experiences, trials, and tragedies. Let me take you on a journey of hope, faith, and grace.

Though one in four pregnancies ends in loss, miscarriage is shrouded in such secrecy and stigma that the woman who experiences it often feels deeply isolated, unsure how to process her grief. Her body seems to have betrayed her. Her confidence in the goodness of God is rattled. Her loved ones don't know what to say. Her heart is broken. She may feel guilty, ashamed, angry, depressed, confused, or alone. With vulnerability and tenderness, Adriel Booker shares her own experience of three consecutive miscarriages, as well as the stories of others. She tackles complex questions about faith and suffering with sensitivity and clarity, inviting women to a place of grace, honesty, and hope in the redemptive purposes of God without offering religious clichés and pat answers. She also shares specific, practical resources, such as ways to help guide children through grief, suggestions for memorializing your baby, and advice on pregnancy after loss, as well as a special section for dads and loved ones.

A collection born of polyphony and the rhythms of our cosmos—intimate in its stakes, celestial in its dreams. Tethered to Stars inhabits the deductive tongue of astronomy, the oracular throat of astrology, and the living language of loss and desire. With an analytical eye and a lyrical heart, Fady Joudah shifts deftly between the microscope, the telescope, and sometimes even the horoscope. His gaze lingers on the interior space of a lung, on a butterfly poised on a filament, on the moon temple atop Huayna Picchu, on a dismembered live oak. In each lingering, Joudah shares with readers the palimpsest of what makes us human: “We are other worms / for other silk roads.” The solemn, the humorous, the erotic, the transcendent—all of it, in Joudah’s poems, steeped in the lexicon of the natural world. “When I say honey,” says one lover, “I’m asking you whose pollen you contain.” “And when I say honey,” replies another, “you grip my sweetness / on your life, stigma and anthophile.” Teeming with life but tinged with a sublime proximity to death, Tethered to Stars is a collection that flows “between nuance and essentialization,” from one of our most acclaimed poets.

Tethered is an important and delightful read on what may be the most important challenge of our time: mastering the technological colossus which invades and colonizes every moment of life, every corner of the globe. Collins is right on target in identifying the critical issues-and the most appropriate theological and practical responses. His wry humor is delightful, his "conversations" with legendary thinkers deeply insightful, his challenges to teachers, parents, pastors, and personal users arresting. With no exaggeration, this is a gem of a book to be read, re-read, and discussed with anyone we care about.
