Many times, I have been told that I should write a book about my life because I was different, unique, or profound. I had the highest grades in grade school and high school, and I drove myself to the first grade in the family car at six years old. My mother and father had a relationship that was not harmonious, as did the mothers and fathers of my friends. That set my objective to earn a PhD in relationship psychology.When World War II started, I also wanted to serve my country. A Unique Man's Journey through Life is the story of how I accomplished all that in spite of not having enough money and having medical problems. When I was told that was impossible, I did not listen, and I never had any doubt. I thought if I doubt myself, how could I get anyone else to believe me? I also helped many other people solve their problems to achieve what they wanted. I found the appreciation they had, and their thanks certainly were some of the greatest joys in my life. As my dad would say, "I appreciate their appreciation."

Both Sides Now is a vivid and compelling account of how one man’s search for wholeness led him through multiple, complex, and life-threatening surgeries that transformed him not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. Born with the body of a female, Dhillon Khosla knew very early on that his true identity was male, yet he spent nearly two decades repressing that knowledge and trying to embrace his female form. Shortly after turning twenty-eight, he came across an article about men born with female bodies who had undergone surgeries to reclaim their male identity. When he read their stories, Khosla felt flashes of recognition stirring within and—for the first time—hope. In this riveting memoir, Khosla discusses openly and honestly what it was like to live as a woman, and how that life shaped the man he is today. Through anecdotes, he shares unique and profound insights into the sexes. Ultimately, however, Both Sides Now is a story about what it means to truly love oneself, and the willingness to turn away from the dissenting voices that tell us who we ought to be…and toward that one, lone voice that has known all along.

Imagine experiencing life not as the gender dictated by birth but as one of your own design. In Trans Figured, Brian Belovitch shares his true story of life as a gender outlier and his dramatic journey through the jungle of gender identity. Brian has the rare distinction of coming out three times: first as a queer teenager; second as a glamorous transgender woman named Tish, and later, Natalia Gervais; and finally as an HIV-positive gay man surviving the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. From growing up in a barely-working-class first-generation immigrant family in Fall River, Massachusetts, to spinning across the disco dance floor of Studio 54 in New York City . . . from falling into military lock-step as the Army wife of a domineering GI in Germany to having a brush with fame as Natalia, high-flying downtown darling of the boozy and druggy pre-Giuliani New York nightclub scene, Brian escaped many near-death experiences. Trans Figured chronicles a life lived on the edge with an unforgettable cast of characters during a dangerous and chaotic era. Rich with drama and excitement, this no-holds-barred memoir tells it all. Most importantly, Brian's candid and poignant story of recovery shines a light on the perseverance of the human spirit.

The friendship between Mary and Nix had endured since childhood, a seemingly unbreakable bond, until the mid-1980s, when the two young women embarked on a summer vacation in Greece. It was a trip initiated by Nix, who had just learned that Mary had been diagnosed with a disease that would cut her life short and who was determined that it be the vacation of a lifetime. But by the time their visit to Greece was over, Nix had withdrawn from their friendship, and Mary had no idea why. Three years later, Nix is dead, and Mary returns to Europe to try to understand what went wrong. In the process she meets the first of many men that she will spend time with as she travels throughout the world. Through them she experiences not only a sexual awakening but a spiritual and emotional awakening that allows her to understand how the past and the future are connected and to appreciate the freedom to live life adventurously.

This book was originally intended to be used as a daily devotional; however, it is not a typical devotional book. Rather, it is a book of personal stories and Biblical truths learned over 56 years of marriage and ministry. In Genesis 28:10-22, there is a story where the children of Israel piled stones and called them ‘stones of remembrance.’ These were intended as a memorial to the Lord, marking places where God supernaturally intervened in their lives. The stories in this book are Dick and Jeri’s ‘stones of remembrance,’ showing how God led them, provided for them, protected them and intervened in supernatural ways. The stories are shared in the hopes of inspiring and encouraging every reader to believe that God will do the same for them. God is no respecter of persons, for what He has done for one, He will do for others.

The Secret Life of a Fool is Andrew Palau's unforgettable journey of running from God -- and the crushing, freeing experience of coming back to Him. It is a story of getting high, burning up cars, being stranded in Europe, surviving a near-fatal plane crash, and utter despair overcome by simple grace and a father's love, expressed in excerpted letters throughout this book.
