Aaron's personal storytelling is a relatable and enjoyable read about his everyday testimonies that display and magnify Jesus to be bigger than we could ask or think. Aaron poses the questions: " What if King Jesus is bigger than we know? What if we have barely scratched the surface of who He is?" From life-changing provision, to a laptop battery miracle, to reconciliation that only Jesus could have brought forth, Aaron's approachable and compelling storytelling takes us on a journey that incites wonder and begs the question, " What if Jesus is bigger than the boxes I have put Him in?"

Abby's quirky, sometimes serious, often heartwarming memoir scrutinizes the world of men and its impact on her life. From a media controversy to a successful media career throughout Africa as a radio and TV host, events producer and nightclub owner, Abby certainly has some stories to tell. Systemically classified as colored, Abby grew up in a tight-knit family that balanced fighting the overtly oppressive South African Apartheid government and maintaining a joyous home where her parents taught her and her brother about living with morals and integrity. They'd often need to balance their strong-willed daughter's outrageous comments with keeping good standing in the colored community. Abby's inquisitive mind and boisterous personality have sometimes led her close to the immoral path, but she lives her life intentionally, owning her heritage, challenging the patriarchy and encountering some fascinating men along the way.The lessons she learnt from her two heroes, her foul - mouthed father and her tumultuously genius brother, have helped Abby resolve the ever - burning need to understand the men in her life and to understand herself.

A bold and innovative memoir that explores who holds the power in an image-obsessed culture, from the model and activist who helped organize the movement to bring equity to fashion. “Fiercely intellectual, deeply vulnerable, and unapologetically honest.”—Imani Perry, National Book Award–winning author of South to AmericaBy elevating me for something I have no control over, the industry and economy signal to all women: There is almost nothing you can do or create that is as valuable as how you look.Scouted by a modeling agent when she was just sixteen years old, Cameron Russell first approached her job with some reservations: She was a serious student with her sights set on college, not the runway. But modeling was a job that seemed to offer young women like herself unprecedented access to wealth, fame, and influence. Besides, as she was often reminded, “there are a million girls in line” who would eagerly replace her. In her powerful memoir, Russell chronicles how she learned to navigate the dizzying space between physical appearance and interiority and making money in an often-exploitative system. Being “agreeable,” she found, led to more success: more bookings and more opportunities to work with the world’s top photographers and biggest brands. But as her prominence grew, Russell found that achievement under these conditions was deeply isolating and ultimately unsatisfying. Instead of freedom, she was often required to perform the role of compliant femme fatale, so she began organizing with her peers, helping to coordinate movements for labor rights, climate and racial justice, and bringing MeToo to the fashion industry. Intimate and illuminating, How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone is a nuanced, deeply felt memoir about beauty, complicity, and the fight for a better world.

The pages of my debut autobiography Choices and Consequences are inspired by the events of my life. I wrote this book to enlighten, inform and empower others to be keenly aware of their daily choices. Dealing with consequences allows us to navigate through our daily lives and paint a picture of how we do or do not want our lives to appear. However, we all know individuals who want to paint our picture for us or give their interpretation of us as if it were gospel. All of us have enough going on in our personal lives that we must each direct our attention to the Brush and Canvas of our own portrait. Regardless of what others think, say, or believe, every individual must make his or her own CHOICES and reap the resulting CONSEQUENCES. As the sun rises each day, we all have CHOICES to make. By the time the sun sets, we sometimes face the CONSEQUENCES for each one of our CHOICES. There is no question that God is the "Ultimate Decision Maker" and "Consequence Giver", but He allows us to navigate through our daily lives and paint a picture of what we want our lives to look like, or how they should not look.

In Loss, Pain, and Finding Peace, you will find yourself in some of the pages. The book follows Shay from the tender age of two years old up to age 42.Some wonder how she still smiles.

Robert Lord (1945- 1992) is an important figure in the history of literature and theatre in Aotearoa New Zealand. Co-founder of Playmarket and author of Well Hung, Bert and Maisy and Joyful and Triumphant, Robert Lord wrote incisive and often satiric radio and stage plays, experimenting with traditional theatre forms and incorporating queer characters at a time when almost nobody else did. His diaries, which record his life from 1974, when he first moved to New York, until his death in Dunedin in 1992, capture the highs and lows of his writing practice, the theatre world and his social life. Revealing the dramatic contrast between life as a gay man in 1970s and 80s New York - a world of sex, drugs and socialising - and provincial New Zealand, with its respectable living rooms, fields of carrots and the occasional homoerotic demonstration of sheep shearing, his diary entries tell of torn loyalties and reveal the intense creative momentum Lord forged from his dislocated, outsider status.

My First Hundred Years is the memoir of Dr. Will Adams, sharing stories from his childhood, his quest for higher education, and his days as a Ballroom dance teacher, board game inventor, band leader and keyboardist.

The memoir of a black man growing up in the UK

Witty, illuminating, coruscating essays on art and museums from the late twentieth century to now, by one of Britain's leading curators and agitators.

“Beautifully written, The Eighth Moon uses a very light touch to probe the most essential, unresolvable questions of belief, kinship, fidelity, history, identity” (Chris Kraus).When an ongoing illness refuses to resolve, Jennifer Kabat returns from London to Margaretville—a rural village in the Catskill Mountains, not far from where she grew up. As her body heals, she discovers meadows dotted with milkweed in bloom, saffron orange salamanders, grackles nesting in arborvitae, ash trees marked with orange blazes, a blood moon. Small patches of land begin to hold glimpses of the past—and of what is yet to come. “I feel, too, all the other people on the land, beating and breathing into this moment with me.”As her life in Margaretville expands, Kabat comes to know her socialist yet conservative neighbors and reflects on her unconventional upbringing, including the progressive politics her parents instilled in her at a young age. She also comes to find that the history of this region is steeped in trauma. Once home to merciless land barons who bound tenants to the land in perpetuity, Upstate New York—her very street—was the site of the Anti-Rent War of the 1800s, in which tenants revolted and blood was shed. Connectedness abounds in Kabat’s way of seeing: the former revolution and the political conditions of today, a wax plant that mysteriously ebbs and flows with her mother’s declining health and eventual passing. “Grief is strange,” she says. “Time blurs. The dead are alive and present.”“Kabat is both a stylist and a temporal magician,” (Adrian Shirk). Ambitious and expertly threaded, The Eighth Moon is at once a search for how to live in a place and an enigmatic lesson in a new kind of seeing—one where everything is connected, and all at once.
