When the world seems chaotic, extreme, and out of control, we sometimes find ourselves desiring to order and simplify our personal lives, hoping to gain a sense of peace and purpose. Scroll through social media, read bestselling self-help books, or watch any DIY television show, and you will discover there are plenty of ways to transform your home, your body, and your life. But how do we care for our souls? The Bible teaches us how to apply the principles of self-care and minimalism to the clutter within as well. Using the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) as a guide, this nine-week devotional will help you cleanse your soul from the inside out by allowing God's Spirit to come and produce the soul qualities you're longing for. Purge your past. Shake out your worry. Open your heart. Cleanse your mind. Declutter your attitudes. We all want more love, joy, peace, patience, and self-control. Let this book be your guide to the abundant life you've always wanted.

A unique biblical and practical approach to uncluttering our internal thoughts and feelings. We all want our lives to change for the better–to become the healthiest versions of ourselves in spirit, soul, and body. Yet we still struggle. Author Trina McNeilly, looking for order in her own life, embarked on an inward journey to the home of her heart and soul to find healing and health from the inside out. Unclutter Your Soul is for all of us who are cluttered and overwhelmed with loss, fear, chronic stress, unhealthy coping mechanisms, crippling depression, or anxiety. With the Holy Spirit as our guide, Trina says we can learn to observe: acknowledge the clutter, own: make space for a healthy internal environment, and overcome: take action with tools for living clutter-free from the inside out. Each chapter in these three sections is written as an essay and concludes with practical and soulful tips as well as prompts to put them into action. With discussion questions and a prayer guide, Unclutter Your Soul is the ultimate resource for finding freedom in our everyday lives by releasing limited mindsets and creating more space for peace and joy.

Too much stuff. Too much stress. Too much to do. How can we sift through the busyness to uncover the life of freedom God offers? If you've ever desired a simpler life, one filled with love, laughter, friendship, and worship rather than overflowing closets and overfilled hours, look no further. Courtney Ellis chronicles her pursuit of a radical idea: what if LESS really is MORE? A gifted storyteller who combines witty humor with uncensored honesty, Ellis guides us on a journey from excess to success. Uncluttered will help you let go of all that burdens you so that you, too, can follow God's path of joy, deliverance, and yes-less. Book jacket.

The daily lives of ordinary people are replete with objects, common things used in commonplace settings. These objects are our constant companions in life. As such, writes Soetsu Yanagi, they should be made with care and built to last, treated with respect and even affection. They should be natural and simple, sturdy and safe - the aesthetic result of wholeheartedly fulfilling utilitarian needs. They should, in short, be things of beauty. In an age of feeble and ugly machine-made things, these essays call for us to deepen and transform our relationship with the objects that surround us. Inspired by the work of the simple, humble craftsmen Yanagi encountered during his lifelong travels through Japan and Korea, they are an earnest defence of modest, honest, handcrafted things - from traditional teacups to jars to cloth and paper. Objects like these exemplify the enduring appeal of simplicity and function: the beauty of everyday things.

How many times, in front of the mirror with that cream in your hand, have you consciously asked yourself: "Why did I buy it?". Or have you ever entered a store convinced and super motivated to buy a product and, in the end, come out with something else entirely? Until a while ago, you were in good company because I too was like you at first, buying products without any knowledge of the facts, driven sometimes by the salesperson's way of doing things, sometimes by generous discounts on the product, and sometimes by the mind-blowing promises of becoming a super-sexy goddess. But what mattered - the results I expected - never came. So one fine day I woke up, looked in the mirror and completely turned the tables. Do you know why you're experiencing this? It's mainly a matter of being uninformed or even worse, possessing low quality information. To sum it up in 6 words: you lack robust Cosmetic Awareness! Now is the time to say, ENOUGH! Now is the time to dispel the fog, which is separating you from the secrets and truths about cosmetic products, on a journey that has been going on for far too long. Unbeknownst to you, you've been manipulated for so many years and today you're about to get your revenge. For this reason, I decided to condense all my experience and my feelings into this frank and direct manual that reveals the "behind the scenes" of a stage whose representations, at times, are not always so understandable, therefore totally appreciable and, ultimately, easy to enjoy. Here are some of the topics I cover in this manual: why it is necessary for you to become aware of how the world of cosmetics works and some specific dynamics regarding, for example, the price and quality of a cream; what is written on the label and what the various acronyms that appear on it mean; how to understand in a simple way what is and how is structured the most peripheral organ of our body, our skin; how to discover the difference between a serum and a cream and how to distribute products between day and night; how to multiply the efficacy of a specific treatment, knowing how to combine several products to create an absolutely personalized protocol. By immediately applying the basic teachings that you will find in this new manual, you will be able to interact with consciousness and full awareness in cosmetic stores; know and apply on your face the most correct and effective active ingredients for your specific situation; have a younger, brighter and more compact skin even without spending a fortune on cosmetics and thus limit the bleeding of your wallet. Beauty's Influencer Bible is the method that will guide you step by step towards your rebirth, with advice and information that, although never easy to find, will now finally be at your complete disposal. Happy reading!

"The Second Vatican Council called the Bible 'the food of the soul.' Yet, for many Catholics, their engagement with Scripture is often limited to what they hear at Mass--and the dull, safe, predictable homilies that obscure rather than break open up the Word of God. In Food for the Soul, a riveting three-part series, celebrated philosopher Peter Kreeft invites the faithful—clergy and laity alike—to a heart-to-heart relationship with Christ the Word through the Word of the Scriptures." --
