Kendra Adachi

Emily P. Freeman

She has several good ideas - choose what works for you. For a Christian author, I think she leans in too hard to the popular idea of ‘just embrace your mess’, rather than the more Christian concept of ‘hand your mess over to God’. But it’s been a while since I’ve read this, so perhaps I’m mis-remembering.

Embrace What Matters, Ditch What Doesn't, and Get Stuff Done

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Being a Lazy Genius isn't about doing more or doing less. It's about doing what matters to you. "I could not be more excited about this book."--Jenna Fischer, actor and cohost of the Office Ladies podcast The chorus of "shoulds" is loud. You should enjoy the moment, dream big, have it all, get up before the sun, track your water consumption, go on date nights, and be the best. Or maybe you should ignore what people think, live on dry shampoo, be a negligent PTA mom, have a dirty house, and claim your hot mess like a badge of honor. It's so easy to feel overwhelmed by the mixed messages of what it means to live well. Kendra Adachi, the creator of the Lazy Genius movement, invites you to live well by your own definition and equips you to be a genius about what matters and lazy about what doesn't. Everything from your morning routine to napping without guilt falls into place with Kendra's thirteen Lazy Genius principles, including: - Decide once - Start small - Ask the Magic Question - Go in the right order - Schedule rest Discover a better way to approach your relationships, work, and piles of mail. Be who you are without the complication of everyone else's "shoulds." Do what matters, skip the rest, and be a person again.

Clive Cussler

This is the ADAPTED FOR YOUNG FANS version.

Please note that this book has been adapted from the original. It will be much ‘cleaner’ than a normal Clive Cussler book. Notably less sex, probably less language and maybe less graphic violence - I haven’t read the ‘regular’ version so I don’t know.

Dirk Pitt® is the world's greatest adventure hero -- a man of action who lives by his wits and daring. As Special Projects Director for the U.S. National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA), he is cool and courageous, with a love of fast cars and extreme danger. A death-defying rescue of two drowning scientists plunges Dirk Pitt into a whirlpool of corruption and betrayal. Sinister criminals have traced a long-lost treasure -- worth almost a billion dollars -- from the Andes Mountains to a chamber on the banks of a hidden river that flows beneath a desert. Driven by burning greed, the criminals are racing to seize a golden prize...and to terminate the one man who can stop them: Dirk Pitt!

This is the ADAPTED FOR YOUNG FANS version.

That means it still has the adventure story, minus some of the ‘adult’ themes. It will be much ‘cleaner’ than a normal Clive Cussler book, notably much less sex. Probably less language and maybe less graphic violence - I haven’t read the ‘regular version’ of this book so I’m not sure.

Sheldon Vanauken

A heart-rending love story described by its author as "the spiritual autobiography of a love rather than of the lovers" about the author's marriage and search for faith.

 

Vanauken chronicles the birth of a powerful pagan love borne out of the relationship he shares with his wife, Davy, and describes the growth of their relationship and the dreams that they share.



A beloved, profoundly moving account of the author's marriage, the couple's search for faith and friendship with C. S. Lewis, and a spiritual strength that sustained Vanauken after his wife's untimely death. Replete with 18 letters from C.S. Lewis, A Severe Mercy addresses some of the universal questions that surround faith--the existence of God and the reasons behind tragedy.
