Thirty Days of Encouragement for the Fender Benders in Your Life is dedicated to the downtrodden, depressed, and those who have given up on life or are too tired to care. Everyone is a work in progress and as Christians, we all need each other, whether we like each other or not. As we reconcile ourselves within the Body of Christ, we become the army that the Lord needs to achieve His most important objective within the earth, (see Habakkuk 2:14). What is a fender bender? It is a minor collision between two automobiles. Each person reading this may be sitting there thinking that what has happened to him or her is no fender bender. Of course, there is enormous tragedy in this world that is much greater than a fender bender. Those can be called major collisions. There is, however, hope and comfort in the word of God for all things. If we view some of the less tragic events with a different perspective, we will see that they are fender benders. Most of the things that have such an emotional effect on us will not matter in a few months. Thirty Days of Encouragement for the Fender Benders in Your Life will help the reader see the magnitude of Gods love and His heart for you, His dear child. Thirty Days of Encouragement for the Fender Benders in Your Life may be used as a springboard of hope and healing for the challenges faced each day.

This book is a Christian, daily devotional challenging women of all ages to settle for nothing less than God's best for them.

From comedian and writer (Parks and Recreation, Eastbound & Down) Harris Wittels comes a hysterical breakdown of boasts, brags, and self-adulation disguised as humble comments and complaints-based on his popular @humblebrag Twitter feed. Something immediately annoyed Harris Wittels about Twitter. All of a sudden it was acceptable to brag, so long as those brags were ever-so-thinly disguised as transparent humility, such as: "Just filed my taxes. Biggie was right, mo money mo problems." "I hate when I go into a store to get something to eat and the male staff are too busy hitting on me to get my order right :( so annoying!" Taking action by naming this phenomenon and creating the Twitter account called Humblebrag-dedicated solely to retweeting the humblebrags of others-Wittels's new word took the Internet by storm.
