Everything Makes Perfect Sense (Hard Cover) By Brinn Langdale
$31.95
At fourteen, Brinn didn’t understand what was wrong with her. Debilitating headaches, a deep hatred of her own body, reckless hookups, addiction, and thoughts of ending her life. Maybe it was her parents’ messy divorce or the tumultuous relationship with her mom, she couldn’t tell. All she knew was that something was off, and deep down, she feared she was just “crazy.”
Everything changed her senior year of high school when a single question shattered the silence. What followed tore her family, and her world, apart.
Brinn’s story is one that too many endure: what began as exploration between siblings spiraled into over a decade of secretive abuse. Yet her healing journey is anything but typical. At twenty-two, desperate to change her life, she embarked on an intentional quest for healing, uncovering the profound impact trauma has on the body, mind, and soul. Then, just shy of her thirtieth birthday, she achieved what had once seemed impossible: forgiveness.
This powerful memoir offers hope to anyone who has ever wondered if healing from trauma is truly possible. Brinn’s story is a testament to resilience, courage, and the kind of empowered forgiveness that’s for you—not for them.

Walking the Heart Path by Sharon E. Reed
$18.95
Sometimes the most powerful words are not those shouted at us in a crowded auditorium as a motivational speaker goes wild. Sometimes the most powerful words are those gently whispered when we sit alone with a good book in our hands. Walking the Heart Path quietly weaves such words into a beautiful picture of what it means to live authentically, humbly and with kindness.
This is not a book to be read through once; rather, it reminds me of my mother's "magical jar" of buttons that I would dip into as a child. Every time I looked, I would find a new treasure to trap between my palms, to look at, savor and think about. The same can be said of this book. It is full of simple nuggets of truth that can be enjoyed time and time again.

Me, Myself, and Multiple Sclerosis by Kenneth Brown

“Life is not going to hold up until I get in the mood. Ready or not, here it comes. God doesn't have to clear anything with me about what life is going to bring next. I don’t even know for myself. I do know that I am in this thing for the long haul. What thing? This thing called life! It’s getting better all the time. I like the way that song says it. “My future looks so bright, I need to wear sunglasses!” That’s an attitude to have. Don’t let this wheelchair, MS, or any other external condition determine you.”
