An ecoterrorist group has set up base in a secluded part of Yellowstone National Park with a plan to save the planet.

Building on her signature message of using the mind to master difficult emotions, Joyce Meyer focuses on the most destructive, insidious one of all: anger. It is responsible for broken relationships, sleepless nights, high blood pressure and ulcers. It destroys friendships, marriages and families, not to mention peace of mind. Anger is especially hard to handle for many Christians who have learned from childhood that "good Christians don't get angry." Meyer argues that properly handled, anger is an alert system that something is wrong and needs to be resolved. In her latest book, she delves into the important process of forgiving, explaining its positive impact on the roots, the forms and the results of anger. Why forgive? Joyce explains that forgiving is the only thing that can free one from the terrible turmoil that anger causes to spill over into every part of life. Meyer understands that life will never be fair, but that is not a reason to let anger destroy our well-being and health. This is her guide to navigating that thorny territory and finding true peace.

"A person must be motivated, inspired, and encouraged in what he or she is doing in life if they want others to believe in what they have envisioned. Dreams can be more than just dreams, they can become in sense; Reality. When will it ever be the right time, if not first you take the time to make some time?" -- Back cover.

Living in sin isn't what it used to be. Nowadays, shacking up is almost a rite of passage;couples are living together now more than ever. The question is, are they any good at it? Or will you be any good at it? Whether you're in a live-in relationship or about to be in one, Tiffany Current's How to Move In with Your Boyfriend (and Not Break Up with Him) aims to help you stay smart and happy along the road to live-in bliss. Current successfully navigated the perils of her live-in relationship only to marry the man who provided fodder for her "how to" guidebook. But it wasn't "all that" from the start. Within weeks of moving in with him, she was ready to chuck his PlayStation out the window and hand his cat off to a stranger. After only a few short months, she was ready to end her relationship since they couldn't agree on anything. Whether discussing cleaning habits, house rules, or decorating tastes, everything turned into an argument. As a result, she realized three important success laws: 1. Communication. Communication is important in any live-in relationship. You need to constantly let each other know what is and isn't working in order for your live-in relationship to be a success. 2. Teamwork. In any live-in relationship, you need to be willing to work together and share in the responsibilities (in setting ground rules, handling chores, making decisions, dealing with relationship hardships, etc.). If you aren't making your relationship an equal partnership (or being a team player), then one person will always feel like they're getting the shorter end of the stick. 3. Compromise. If you want your live-in relationship to last, then you need to be able to compromise. Since this is a partnership, that means you can't always have things your way. You need to be willing to hear other options and come up with solutions that you both can agree on. How to Move In with Your Boyfriend (and Not Break Up with Him) is packed with witty communication tips, quizzes, hilarious mock conversations and more, all designed to help you in your decision to shack up or make the most of the situation you're already in. Own up to your bad habits and know your deal breakers! Are there things you shouldn't share? What should you do about his ratty La-Z-Boy. What about chores, money, pets, and friends? And what about your SEX life - will it change? Men and women cohabitating is on the rise. Statistics show that nearly half of every woman you know will cohabitate at some point. And with today's economy, cohabitating makes sense. But be smart about it. How to Move In with Your Boyfriend (and Not Break Up with Him) will help you, your girlfriends - even your own mother - identify and make the best of decisions when it comes live-in bliss. Added Value: How to Move In with Your Boyfriend (and Not Break Up with Him) may even help lead you down the aisle like it did the author.

Tom Pierson’s freshman obsessions—with American literature and with the pert assistant to the dean of Abbott College—dominate his first term. When his idealism, inspired by Jack London’s portrayal of working-class struggles, collides with establishment forces, he learns to rue a lesson from London: that fate is often capriciously twisted. Steven Dhondt brings passion and literary sophistication to this coming-of-age novel. The telltale themes—idolization of inspiring role models, youthful bravado undermined by self doubt, first love, and betrayal—are outlined in graceful prose with signature empathy. Dhondt deftly pays homage to Jack London by emulating the master’s satire and keen understanding of human nature in a story that builds to a tumultuous conclusion. “I need to find my way. And I think it’s through London. Show me how to travel. Maybe if I follow your path, I can learn how to keep traveling.”
