This one year journal and devotional, which you can start on any day of the year and continue throughout 365 days, offers a positive daily outlook on life. This book came to me in dreams all the way from the title to the end. The dreams started after a divorce. I started working two jobs and was extremely tired upon retiring to sleep. I am not an author or at least did not believe myself to be one. I don't normally dream either. But these dreams were so vivid that I could wake and write them down and go right back to sleep. Then the morning after the dream, what was written down was, I felt, as it should be written, other than correcting spelling, etc.

Speak Those Things: 52 Affirmations To Build a Life You Love is somewhat of a mix between a personal diary and a love letter of encouragement to my friends and loved ones. Speak those things that aren't as if they were is one of my all-time favorite biblical principles. It challenges us to have a blind bold faith in both ourselves and God. For me, affirmations are the tangible application of the very intangible act of choosing faith over fear. We are our first line of defense. Speak life into the vision you have for your life. Speak life into your dreams. Our words and thoughts create our world and reality. Xoxo -Chels

Young women are deeply dissatisfied with society's standards (and double standards). They want more for themselves--but sometimes they don't quite know what that more should be. That's where Miss Black New Jersey 2018 and Teen Vogue "It Girl" turned fashion writer Tarah-Lynn Saint-Elien comes in. Through her insightful comments on media, pop culture, and pervading cultural myths about beauty, fashion, and womanhood, Tarah-Lynn dismantles the messages that feed into the insecurities, fears, doubts, and guilt that young women experience today. She introduces them to an understanding of God as a loving Father and the King of all kings, who bestows upon his daughters a crown of love, worth, and power. And she shows them how to not only claim the promises of God but also walk purposefully in them as independent women (no prince necessary!) who respond to adversity with righteousness and authority.

Paul Williams is an alcoholic. Tracey Jackson is not. But together, these two close friends have written Gratitude and Trust, a book designed to apply the principles of the recovery movement to the countless people who are not addicts but nevertheless need effective help with their difficulties and pain. Williams, the award-winning songwriter, actor, and performer, has embraced a traditional alcoholism recovery plan for more than two decades of sobriety. Jackson, a well-known TV and film writer—and veteran of many years of traditional therapy—has never been a drunk or a drug abuser, but she realized that many of the tenets of Williams’s program could apply to her. In Gratitude and Trust, Williams and Jackson ask: What happens to those who struggle with vexing problems yet are not full-blown addicts? Are there any lessons to be learned from the foundational and time-tested principles of the recovery movement? Whether you’re tethered to your phone or you turn to food for comfort; whether you’re a perfectionist and can’t let things go or are too afraid to fail to even try; whether you can find intimacy only on the Internet or you’ve been involved in a string of nasty relationships—the first step toward feeling better about yourself and your life is the realization that you are what’s standing in your way. Williams and Jackson have designed a new, positive program, based on a half-dozen new affirmations, that can help conquer your vices, address personal dysfunction, and start to brighten the darkest moods. Gratitude and Trust is an essential, inspirational, and uplifting guide to identifying and changing maladaptive behaviors in order to uncover your most productive, healthiest self.
