    Ladies, a little perspective can change everything – and owning your own perspective (with a good dose of humor) is what The Well-Lived Laugh is all about.

    Brand-new from humor writer Rachel St. John-Gilbert (author of Wake Up Laughing and Laugh Yourself to Sleep), The Well-Lived Laugh: Designing a Life that Keeps You Smiling offers a quirky look at life’s crazy-making pressures – body image, relationships, social networking, the food police – and encouragement to develop your own unique perspective to help eliminate those pressures.

    Through her hilarious observations, St. John-Gilbert will help you embrace the beauty in life that comes through each experience, whether planned or not.

    A Better Way: Make Disciples Wherever Life HappensA Better Way: Make Disciples Wherever Life Happens
    by Dale Losch

    Better does not mean new. As you will see, better is about recommitting ourselves to something old yet perpetually powerful and original.

    Neither does better imply past failure. The countless success of those who have gone before us in taking the gospel to the ends of the earth are proof of God’s blessing.

    But better as it is used in this book does imply the possibility of improvement. It implies that we have room to grow – not in terms of the mandate or the message, but in what we are doing about it. The world has changed technologically, politically, linguistically, economically, and in virtually every way imaginable. We cannot simply make micro-adjustments in a world of macro-change.

    A Better Way is about Jesus’ way to impact our world with His life-revolutionizing message, and how a fresh commitment to His way and fresh yet at the same time timeless approach in our methods can change the world in our lifetime. The approach? Disciple-makers from all professions bringing God’s love to life in the world’s least-reached marketplaces.

    Janice Thresher is the typical middle class suburban teen of the 1980’s. Living near Pittsburgh, PA, she follows her high school sweetheart off to Penn State where he proceeds to dump her. She copes with her loss by partying heavily until God brings a new love into her life. In a cruel twist of fate, this love was not meant to last either.

    On the other side of the country in Southern California, Sophie Ulsrey, a girl several years younger than Janice, spends her time trying to hide ugly scars sustained after a terrible auto accident in which she lost her father. The accident, and her mother’s reaction to it, drives Sophie to achieve wealth and fame as she becomes an adult.

    As adults, the lives of Janice and Sophie divinely intersect in time to warn fellow Americans of a government cover-up to hide important factual information with apocalyptic national security implications. Just as it was in 1938 when an American radio audience believed Orson Welles’ “War of the Worlds” broadcast to be truth instead of fiction, many readers of Broken Pottery will be tempted to check their cell phones and digital libraries just to make sure they, too, are reading only a book of fiction.

    Strange as it may seem, other people are not nearly as committed to our happiness as we are. In fact, sometimes they seem like they’re on a mission to make us miserable!

But we can’t fix other people – we can only make choices about ourselves.

    In this cut-to-the-chase book, communication expert Mike Bechtle shows readers that they don’t have to be victims of other people’s craziness. With commonsense wisdom and practical advice that can be implemented immediately, Bechtle gives readers a proven strategy to handle crazy people.

    More than just offering a set of techniques, Bechtle offers a new perspective that will change readers’ lives as they deal with those difficult people who just won’t go away.

    The VowThe Vow by Kim and Krickitt Carpenter

    Life as Kim and Krickitt Carpenter knew it was shattered beyond recognition on November 24, 1993. Two months after their marriage, a devastating car wreck left Krickitt with a massive head injury and in a coma for weeks.

    When she finally awoke, she had no idea who Kim was. With no recollection of their relationship and while Krickitt experienced personality changes common to those who suffer head injuries, Kim realized the woman he had married essentially died in the accident.

    And yet, against all odds, but through the common faith in Christ that sustained them, Kim and Krickitt fell in love all over again. Even though Kim stood by Krickitt through the darkest times a husband can ever imagine, he insists, “I’m no hero. I made a vow.”

    The Vow is the true story that inspired the major motion picture of the same name starring Rachel McAdams, Channing Tatum, Sam Neill, and Academy Award winner Jessica Lange.
