DeVon Franklin, New York Times bestselling author of The Wait and prominent Hollywood producer, reveals that secular and spiritual success are not opposites. To have one, you need the other.Are you tired of living a life paralyzed by fear? Are you anxious to break free of the ?beware mentality? that has kept generations of well-meaning people living beneath the fullness of their calling?You're unfulfilled because you've been convinced that you would lose your faith if you pursued the secular ambitions God has put in your heart. However, until you pursue those ambitions you will miss out on the fullness of God and the success you were created to have.For too long there's been a line drawn between the spiritual and the secular, and we have been conditioned to believe that if we cross this line in either direction, we will have gone too far. It's time to break down this barrier so you are free to go further than any believer has gone before. The Success Commandments combines spiritual teachings with secular strategies to help you achieve unprecedented success and live the life you were destined to live.

From a two?time winner of the National Poetry Series competition, a bold new collection of poems lamenting the state of the world?and offering poetry that might save itCivil twilight occurs just before dawn and just after dusk, when there is still light enough to distinguish the shapes and contours of objects but not the richness of their detail.Beginning with the idea that nothing can be seen clearly in the light of the present, the poems in Civil Twilight attempt to resuscitate lyric's revelatory impulse by taking nothing for granted, forming their materials under the light of a critical gaze. If there is any chance left for a humane world, a world in which poetry might become as transparent and evocative as it has always longed to be, these poems desire nothing but to find hints of that chance, and to follow them as far as they might lead.Jeffrey Schultz brings his distinct voice to bear on the stuff of twenty-first-century America?languishing Freedom of Information Act requests, graffiti-covered city walls, the violent machinery of the state?without abandoning hope that the language of poetry might transport us to some better and as-yet-unimaginable world. Turning a call to be ?civil? on its head, this collection nudges the reader toward revolution.

Foreword by Burning Man founder Larry HarveyA stunning visual and narrative homage?featuring more than 100 black & white and color photographs, many never before seen?that captures the wonder and metaphysical power of Burning Man past present, and future, and the magic that draws us to it, by the ultimate Burning Man insider.Growing up in 1950s Oregon, brothers Stewart and Larry Harvey rebelled against their small-town culture and the conformist norms of Eisenhower's America. Stewart turned to photography. Larry, drawn by the siren call of the burgeoning counter-cultural movement, fled to San Francisco, where he met a group of alternative artists like himself. During his frequent visits south, Stewart, camera always in hand, photographed the intimate creative worlds of Larry and his friends?images that would chronicle the birth of one of the most important cultural, artistic, and social movements of the twentieth century: Burning Man.Filled with the rare insights of Stewart's decades-long friendships with his brother and the five other founders, as well as the many people who have shaped it, Playa Fire is a Burning Man story like no other. An artist and writer of striking emotional depth, Stewart marries stunning photos reflecting the beauty and grandeur of the desert landscape and the ephemeral, hallucinatory beauty of Black Rock City with a compelling narrative journey that captures the landmark festival's spiritual essence.Drawn from his personal archives and taken over thirty years at Burning Man?many at "First Camp"?his panoramic photographs are accompanied by never-before-seen memorabilia, including Larry's original sketch of the first Man as well as family photos of the young Harvey brothers and their band of merrymakers. An exquisite work of art that embodies the radical imagination at the core of this transformative event, Playa Fire celebrates both the spectacle and the meditative that is Burning Man. It is an enchanting portrait for die-hard "Burners," arts enthusiasts, and the intellectually curious fascinated by this iconoclastic, beloved cultural phenomenon.

From the theatrical stage to the sets of The Rat Patrol, Titanic, and, of course, The Young and the Restless, among other films and television series, Braeden's career and journey have taught him invaluable life lessons about joy, heartbreak, fear, love, courage, and profound responsibility to the global community.Growing up as a young child in the years after Germany's defeat in World War II, Braeden knew very little about the atrocities of his parents' generation until he arrived in America?a discovery that horrified and transformed him. Trying to redress the wrongs of his homeland, he has dedicated his life to humanitarian causes, working to show the world that what we share as humans is far more important than what separates us.Told with openness, humor, heart, and raw vulnerability, I'll Be Damned reveals a man committed to making the world a better, more loving place, and is an inspiring testament to the goodness within us all.

Why should you need the government's permission to save your own life?Jenn McNary's sons, Max and Austin, were diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy?a fatal disorder that leads to muscle degeneration and eventually death. Max received access to a clinical trial; Austin didn't. As a result, Max was able to get out of his wheelchair and play on his school soccer team while Austin continued to deteriorate until he could not even feed himself.The FDA takes as long as fifteen years to approve a new drug, demanding near-absolute proof of effectiveness before allowing commercial distribution. But this ignores the urgent plight of millions of terminally ill Americans who have run out of approved options?and are running out of time.

Author and activist Darcy Olsen, former president of the Goldwater Institute, tells the remarkable story behind the Right to Try movement, the national campaign to give dying Americans access to cutting-edge treatments that are under study but still years away from receiving the FDA's green light. Through their efforts, the number of states with Right to Try laws is now thirty-three and counting.The men, women, and children featured in these pages are our own family members, friends, and neighbors. Their heartbreaking, triumphant, and inspirational stories prove the necessity for Right to Try laws. Because everyone deserves the right to try.

In her first new collection in five years her most exhilarating, personal, and formally inventive to date Jorie Graham explores the limits of the human and the uneasy seductions of the post-human.

A haunting and intimately observed new collection from David St. John, a poet of soaring imagination and passionate candorIn The Last Troubadour David St. John has given us a collection of new and selected poems of astonishing beauty that are precise and keenly reflective but also touched with sensuality and deep feeling. Nothing is too small to escape notice (in ?Guitar? St. John reflects on the beauty of that word) or too large to be explored?the suicide of a friend, the illness of a lover, or the texture of longing and desire. A sharp observer of landscapes within and without, St. John directs his empathetic gaze and vivid, inventive voice to investigating both the darkest and the most inspiring parts of being human?the small moments between friends and lovers as well as the groundswells that alter lives. At times lyrical, sometimes conversational, occasionally wry and playful, St. John's poetry reveals an expansive vision animated by ?intimacy and subtlety, and by a disturbing force, the work of an urgent sensibility and a true ear? (W. S. Merwin). The beauty, music, and artistry of David St. John's widely admired work is fully on display in this masterful collection.

?Being happy is a choice. It is a choice my father has made. I'm going to teach my kinds the same thing. Because my dad is right: 'life is short; you might as well try and enjoy it.'?Ben Falcone has had some strange moments in his journey as a father of two daughters?from overhearing the girls discussing the mysteries of God while making them pancakes to forgetting candy for the St. Patrick's Day leprechaun trap made by his kindergartner (St. Patrick's Day candy? Leprechaun traps?) to boiling with anger while attempting to get the tiniest glimpse of his child during a school performance across a sea of iPhones. Through these, and all the other strange, funny, and sometimes infuriating moments of parenthood, Ben's role model has been his own father. Known for his long and involved stories, his competitive nature on the basketball court, his colorful language, propensity for funny hats, and a somewhat casual approach to employment, Steve Falcone was a dad like no other.Ben learned everything about being a man, a husband, and a father from his own dad. Steve Falcone taught Ben that fatherhood is all about showing up in the most important moments, and always making sure your kids know that you love and support them?even when your kids do really weird stuff. In this charming and hilarious collection, Ben Falcone offers intimate and relatable stories about his adventures as a parent to his two daughters with his wife, Melissa McCarthy, but also his own childhood, and all that is wonderful and weird about life in the trenches as a parent. Because being a dad is weird . . . but also great.

GOD IS NOT TO BE FEARED!Benjamin L. Corey thought he was suffering a crisis of faith. But what he was going through was a spiritual awakening. Corey documents his growing awareness that the version of Christianity he was raised with was built upon a foundation of fear?fear of our sins, fear of hell, fear of God's judgment, fear of becoming heretical, fear of getting the faith wrong, and much more. But he also knew that God was supposed to deliver us from fear. So how did Christian faith get so intertwined with fear?Corey realized that fear does not express faith, since Scripture makes clear that love is both God's nature and God's mandate to us, and that these are fully incompatible foundations for faith. In the wake of this realization came newfound insights. Corey learned that what he had been taught was a distorted version of Christianity that was not only untrue but caused real spiritual harm.He also discovered that he wasn't alone. Many Christians are yearning to return to the root of their faith, to learn how to distinguish between the Christianity that has become a rigid American civil religion and the authentic Christian faith embodied in Jesus and passed on by his disciples. As he recounts his own spiritual journey, Corey offers a powerful and inspiring message of hope for every Christian increasingly frustrated with fear-based Christianity. Do not be discouraged, he assures them. You do not need to give up your faith; you can rediscover the reality of a vibrant Christianity that delivers us from fear and inspires and guides us all today.

When Martin Luther published his 95 Theses in October 1517, he had no intention of starting a revolution. But very quickly his criticism of indulgences became a rejection of the papacy and the Catholic Church emphasizing the Bible as the sole authority for Christian faith, radicalizing a continent, fracturing the Holy Roman Empire, and dividing Western civilization in ways Luther?a deeply devout professor and spiritually-anxious Augustinian friar?could have never foreseen, nor would he have ever endorsed. From Germany to England, Luther's ideas inspired spontaneous but sustained uprisings and insurrections against civic and religious leaders alike, pitted Catholics against Protestants, and because the Reformation movement extended far beyond the man who inspired it, Protestants against Protestants. The ensuing disruptions prompted responses that gave shape to the modern world, and the unintended and unanticipated consequences of the Reformation continue to influence the very communities, religions, and beliefs that surround us today.How Luther inadvertently fractured the Catholic Church and reconfigured Western civilization is at the heart of renowned historian Brad Gregory's Rebel in the Ranks. While recasting the portrait of Luther as a deliberate revolutionary, Gregory describes the cultural, political, and intellectual trends that informed him and helped give rise to the Reformation, which led to conflicting interpretations of the Bible, as well as the rise of competing churches, political conflicts, and social upheavals across Europe. Over the next five hundred years, as Gregory's account shows, these conflicts eventually contributed to further epochal changes?from the Enlightenment and self-determination to moral relativism, modern capitalism, and consumerism, and in a cruel twist to Luther's legacy, the freedom of every man and woman to practice no religion at all.With the scholarship of a world-class historian and the keen eye of a biographer, Gregory offers readers an in-depth portrait of Martin Luther, a reluctant rebel in the ranks, and a detailed examination of the Reformation to explain how the events that transpired five centuries ago still resonate?and influence us?today.

Bestselling Christian author, activist, and scholar Tony Campolo and his son Bart, an avowed Humanist, debate their spiritual differences and explore similarities involving faith, belief, and hope that they share.Over a Thanksgiving dinner, fifty-year-old Bart Campolo announced to his Evangelical pastor father, Tony Campolo, that after a lifetime immersed in the Christian faith, he no longer believed in God. The revelation shook the Campolo family dynamic and forced father and son to each reconsider his own personal journey of faith?dual spiritual investigations into theology, faith, and Humanism that eventually led Bart and Tony back to one another. In Why I Left, Why I Stayed, the Campolos reflect on their individual spiritual odysseys and how they evolved when their paths diverged. Tony, a renowned Christian teacher and pastor, recounts his experience, from the initial heartbreak of discovering Bart's change in faith, to the subsequent healing he found in his own self-examination, to his embracing of his son's point of view. Bart, an author and Humanist chaplain at the University of Southern California, considers his faith journey from Progressive Christianity to Humanism, revealing how it affected his outlook and transformed his relationship with his father. As Why I Left, Why I Stayed makes clear, a painful schism between father and son that could have divided them irreparably became instead an opening that offered each an invaluable look not only at what separated them, but more importantly, what they shared.

An effective plan to help those suffering from wounds inflicted by the church find spiritual healing and a renewed sense of faith.Raised as a conservative Christian, minister and author Carol Howard Merritt discovered that the traditional institutions she grew up in inflicted great pain and suffering on others. Though she loved the spirituality the church provided, she knew that, because of sexism, homophobia, and manipulative religious politics, established religious institutions weren't always holy or safe. Instead of offering refuge, these institutions have betrayed people's hearts and souls. ?People have suffered religious abuse,? she writes, ?which can be different from physical injury or psychological trauma.?Though participation and affiliation in traditional religious institutions is waning, many people still believe in God. Merritt contends that many leave the church because they have lost trust in the institution, not in God. Healing Spiritual Wounds addresses the church's dichotomous image?as a safe space and as a dangerous place?and provides a way to restore personal faith and connection to God for those who have been hurt or betrayed by established institutions of faith. Merritt lays out a multistage plan for moving from pain to spiritual rebirth, from recovering theological and emotional shards to recovering communal wholeness. Merritt does not sugarcoat the wrongs institutions long seen as trustworthy have inflicted on many innocent victims. Sympathetic, understanding, and deeply positive, she offers hope and a way to help them heal and reclaim the spiritual joy that can make them whole again.

Israel is a tiny state, and yet since its creation, it has captured the world's attention, earned its admiration, and, often, been the object of its opprobrium. Why is so much of the international community focused on a small country like Israel? Why are Israelis so deeply divided on so many key issues? Why does Israel make the decisions it does? And what lies in its future?Weaving together historical documents, letters, and interviews with his own intimate knowledge of the country, Daniel Gordis tells the story of Israel: when the idea of a Jewish state originated, how the dream was transformed into reality, and how Israel's history has unfolded and why. Israel probes the soul of both a people and a country that have long triumphed over adversity, but which still face grave?some say insurmountable?challenges. Gordis guides us through the milestones of Israeli history and introduces the passionate and formidable personalities who pioneered the country and shaped its pivotal moments. He illustrates how Israel became a cultural, economic, and military powerhouse?but he also explains its grave mistakes and traces its long history of international isolation. Clear-eyed and authoritative, Gordis shows that above all else Israel's prime purpose?and its major accomplishment?has been the modern rebirth of the Jewish people.With Israel, Gordis offers us a brief but thorough history of this complex nation, from its beginnings to the present. Accessible, level-headed, and rigorous, Israel sheds light on Israel's past so we can understand its present and future. The result is a vivid portrait of a people, and a nation, reborn.
