Faith is difficult to find for some, and for a dyslexic orphan and an ADHD ladies man , it can almost be impossible. Eventually GOD'S mercy is realized by all and usually just in time. This is a story of one man & one woman's journey to salvation and the detour they take to find their faith. Followed from town to town by their lack of conviction and misunderstanding of GOD, it is with some grief that they reach their destination. Mara has decided to follow Lucas into the unknown. And unknown to Lucas, she has also fallen in love with him. But she has a strange dysfunctional way of showing it. With her new zeal for finding her faith and falling in love, their road trip is blurred to say the least. What Lucas didn't have in mind when he left his hometown was losing his best friend and finding his worst nightmare. A higher power is his only deliverance from this misadventure. As the duo makes their way from Brownsville, Texas to Seattle, Washington they are deposited in Las Vegas. And where better a place to find the most sin and salvation? Each chapter is preceded by a Bible scripture that can be read before starting the next story line to better understand our Almighty Lord GOD. And you will need it.

Psychologists have long been aware that most people maintain an irrationally positive outlook on life—but why? Turns out, we might be hardwired that way. In this absorbing exploration, Tali Sharot—one of the most innovative neuroscientists at work today—demonstrates that optimism may be crucial to human existence. The Optimism Bias explores how the brain generates hope and what happens when it fails; how the brains of optimists and pessimists differ; why we are terrible at predicting what will make us happy; how emotions strengthen our ability to recollect; how anticipation and dread affect us; how our optimistic illusions affect our financial, professional, and emotional decisions; and more. Drawing on cutting-edge science, The Optimism Bias provides us with startling new insight into the workings of the brain and the major role that optimism plays in determining how we live our lives.

Stuck in a rut? Need an attitude adjustment? This inspirational classic from American author Helen Keller is bound to fit the bill. Rendered deaf and blind by scarlet fever in her infancy in a time when the disabled were often shunned and ignored, Keller managed to learn to read, write, and speak, not in only in her native English, but in several other languages, as well. Keller regards optimism as "the faith that leads to achievement," and this treatise lays out her views on making the best of even the direst of circumstances.

The Hidden Dangers in our schools have grown and intensified over the last few years; so much so that I was compelled to write a second edition to Hidden Dangers: Subtle Signs of Failing Schools. Our schools are complex places; each with its own unique climate, administration, faculty, students, parents and community members. Clearly, schools do not work in a vacuum; each is affected by the much larger society, government and economy. In this new edition we will be introduced to the interplay of these facets and how they can help and in some cases hinder our schools, our teachers, and our students from thriving. We also learn why it is more complicated now than ever, and the stakes are even higher than when Hidden Dangers was originally published back in 2008
