Sacred Housekeeping
An honest autobiography of a courageous woman and social worker, who took an interest in the unpopular cause of helping incarcerated Jewish men re-enter society and made it her lifes passion. From that passion was born Beit TShuvah, a once tiny halfway house that has grown exponentially into a renowned treatment organization. Her voyage is remarkable and an inspiration to all people. This is the personal story of the obstacles she surmounted and the successes she encountered. This book also tells the unconventional love story of Harriet Rossetto and her husband, Rabbi Mark Borovitz.

From His Hands to Mine
"Being a new mother is like landing a job as a CEO straight out of college. You've done some reading and observed others in action, and you're full of ambition and desire to see the business run smoothly. But you have no experience, no real-life skills. You're keeping very long hours and not taking good care of yourself. You can't seem to please your star client. Task after task, you are reminded that you don't know what you're doing. It's a lot of pressure for a young CEO to shoulder, particularly if she's sleep-deprived and leaking milk." This book offers a glimpse into Dr. Rathmell's personal prayer journal. Her discussions on the wonderful, woeful days of new motherhood are paired with relevant scripture and psychiatric research, and demonstrate to new mothers that they are not alone in their feelings of joy, worry, isolation, and exhaustion. A must-read for the Christian woman who is a new mother or a mother-to-be!
The Depression Cure
In the past decade, depression rates have skyrocketed, and one in four Americans will suffer from major depression at some point in their lives. Where have we gone wrong? Dr. Stephen Ilardi sheds light on our current predicament and reminds us that our bodies were never designed for the sleep-deprived, poorly nourished, frenzied pace of twenty-first century life. Inspired by the extraordinary resilience of aboriginal groups like the Kaluli of Papua New Guinea, Dr. Ilardi prescribes an easy-to-follow, clinically proven program that harks back to what our bodies were originally made for and what they continue to need. The Depression Cure program has already delivered dramatic results, helping even those who have failed to respond to traditional medications.
We Trailed the Sioux
Drawing from some fifty unique sources, author Paul L. Hedren has crafted a fascinating account of the experiences of enlisted soldiers engaged in the Great Sioux War. The story tells of tiresome campaigning, bad water, scarce firewood, mosquitoes, extreme cold and heat, fighting, burying comrades, and the drudgery and horror of it all. Drawn exclusively from original diaries, letters, and reminiscences penned by the campaigners themselves, this book offers a perspective of the Indian Wars otherwise unavailable to students of the period today. - First-hand accounts of Indian fighting - Rare memoirs and diaries - An insight into American attitudes towards their Indian foe
Golden States of Grace
Taking California as a window into the diversity of religion in America, Golden States of Grace documents marginalized communities at prayer in their own faith traditions. The collection is thoroughly interfaith, introducing us to the nation's only halfway house for addicts self-identified as Jewish, a transsexual gospel choir, a Buddhist community in San Quentin, a Mormon congregation organized by the deaf for the deaf, Latina sex workers worshipping the female folk deity SantÃsima Muerte, and more. Depictions of conventional middle-class religion are widely visible in the media, but the American public rarely sees the sacred worlds of society's marginalized: the outcasts, the fallen, those that have been labeled "other"--ironically, those whom religion aims to serve. The poignant stories Nahmias has gathered here cross numerous boundaries and ask difficult questions few outsiders have been willing to pose.

The Forgotten Explorer
North of Jasper, in the Canadian Rockies, is a large, roadless and spectacular wilderness of alpine flower meadows, glaciated peaks, canyons, waterfalls and abundant wildlife. Compared to the millions each year who visit Banff and Jasper national parks immediately to the south, this northern area sees few visitors. Fewer still have ever attempted to travel through this wilderness in one continuous trip. The first to do so was Samuel Prescott Fay in 1914. To this day, his exact route has never been duplicated. Fay and his party set out from Jasper on June 26, 1914, with five saddle horses and 16 pack horses. After a treacherous, slogging journey of 1,200 kilometres through wild, uncharted cou...
The Thrill of the Chase
There are many hunting adventure books in print, but few that exclusively deal with women hunters. Etling and Reneau researched their subject well, and many of the women profiled are among the top hunters in the world. The authors discovered hundreds of bright, articulate women who love to hunt big game, and they culled the best stories from these women for this book.
