SPEAKING LIFE INTO YOUR I AM, is a book about tapping into the wisdom of Proverbs 18:21 by learning how to use your words to speak life into yourself. SPEAKING LIFE INTO YOUR I AM, is a book about affirming your worth and building the kind of self-esteem that emanates from within and that will carry you through the changing seasons of your life. SPEAKING LIFE INTO YOUR I AM, provides 25 Bible-based affirmations to help you breakthrough self-defeating limitations so that you can embrace your most authentic, actualized and resilient self. SPEAKING LIFE INTO YOUR I AM, is about following Jesus's example of affirming your identity. When Jesus said, "I am the light of the world," he was defining himself and affirming his identity. Jesus was essentially saying: I know who I am! Throughout the Bible, Jesus says, "I AM" and then defines for himself who He is. Jesus describes himself as the way, the truth, the light, the resurrection, and the life. Over and over in the Bible, we see Jesus affirming His identity, starting with the words ...I Am. Jesus knew who he was and he modeled an important Kingdom principle for us all: The importance of... SPEAKING LIFE, into your "self." It's vital to the wellbeing of your soul and your spirit to break free of the notion that you need man's approval and acceptance in order to affirm your worth and speak life into your authentic identity as a child of God. In fact, relying on the approval of others for your self-worth, is a mental stronghold that robs you of your personal power. Here's why: As human beings we were all made in the image and likeness of God. This alone gives every human being inherent worth and value, apart from anything that we could ever do, accomplish or achieve. But each of us has to come to this realization for ourselves so that we learn to speak life into our own lives.There's no question that in today's media-saturated society even the most confident of people can be made to feel like they don't measure up or like they have to pretend to be someone other than who they are authentically in order to be worthy of love and valued as a human being. And unless we develop a more Christ-like view of ourselves, we can end up spending our entire lives feeling like we are deficient. And this is no way to live, because your confidence and your self-esteem matters to God!The question of your identity is a question worth exploring, because when you have a healthy perspective of your worth and value, then no one will ever be able to run up in your life and make you believe that you are inadequate in any way or unworthy of love. Regardless of what anyone has ever said to you or done to you or what you've been conditioned to believe; the deeper reality of your identity is this: YOU were created to reflect God's glory, love, power, and light! You were created to SHOW UP for LIFE from your place of Power, Love and Resilience. You are already complete. You are lacking in NO THING! You have ideas worth sharing, talents worth multiplying, goals worth reaching for and dreams worth pursuing. But it all starts with knowing who you are. This book will help you understand who you are in God. SPEAKING LIFE INTO YOUR I AM, provides you with bible-based affirmations that you can read over and over again and say as often as you need to; so that you can release the power of God's word into your thought life and inscribe it in your heart. Use this book to speak life into yourself and to positively affirm your identity as one who was created in the image and likeness of God. As you allow GOD to sit with you in prayer and recharge your spirit with His life-affirming Word, trust and believe that your life will be transformed. Let this book serve as reminder of how awesome You already are and what an awesome God you serve.

Now an ECPA Best Seller—Kari Kampakis's Love Her Well gives moms ten practical tips for how to build strong and lasting relationships with their daughters. For many women, having a baby girl is a dream come true. But as girls grow up, the narrative of innocence and joy changes to one of dread as moms are told, "Just wait until she's a teenager!" and handed a disheartening and too-often-true script about a daughter's teenage season of life. Author, blogger, and mom to four daughters Kari Kampakis thinks it's time to change the narrative and mind-set that leads moms to parent teen girls with a spirit of defeat instead of strength. Love Her Well isn't a guide to help mothers "fix" their daughters or make them behave. It's about a mom's journey, doing the heart-work necessary to love a teenager while still being a steady, supportive parent. Kari offers wisdom about how moms can: Choose their words and timing carefully. Listen and empathize with her teen's world. See the good, and love her for who she is. Take care of themselves and find a support system in the process. By working on the foundation, habits, and dynamics of the relationship; mothers can connect with their teen daughters and earn a voice in their lives that allows moms to offer guidance, love, wisdom, and emotional support. Kari gives mothers hope, wisdom, and a reminder that all things are possible through God, who is the source of the guidance and clarity they need in order to grow strong relationships with their daughters at every age—especially during the critical teen years.

A moving story of grief, honesty, and the healing power of art — the ties that bind us together, even when those we love are gone. Melanie and Damon are both living in the shadow of loss. For Melanie, it's the loss of her larger-than-life artist mother, taken by cancer well before her time. For Damon, it’s the loss of his best friend, Carlos, who took his own life. As they struggle to fill the empty spaces their loved ones left behind, fate conspires to bring them together. Damon takes pictures with Carlos’s camera to try to understand his choices, and Melanie begins painting as a way of feeling closer to her mother. But when the two join their school’s production of Othello, the play they both hoped would be a distraction becomes a test of who they truly are, both together and on their own. And more than anything else, they discover that it just might be possible to live their lives without completely letting go of their sadness. Praise for Speak of Me As I Am: "Debut author Belasco adeptly captures the tribulations of high school life while also celebrating art's ability to help clarify and contextualize its joys and sorrows. . . . The novel's most intriguing character . . . is grief itself, which the author illuminates, examines, and dissects with a surgeon's precision and the gentle touch of an artist. A stirring account of the trials of adolescence." —Kirkus Reviews "This book will undoubtedly be compared to Rainbow Rowell’s Eleanor & Park. . . . Teens seeking a quieter but no less moving story will find this book a perfect read." —Booklist "Never maudlin, always authentic, the portrayal of their struggles to deal with grief and with love will resonate with many teens." —VOYA "A good purchase for realistic fiction collections and for readers looking for books about survivor’s guilt and healing." —School Library Journal "Belasco’s novel sends a powerful message about the complicated nature of grief. . . . This powerful, emotional work should be earmarked to be a favorite with teen readers." —BookPage
