A beautifully heartfelt story about one boy’s journey toward acceptance. A book that Jill Soloway, the award-winning creator of Transparent, called “a terrific read for all ages” and Ami Polonsky, author of Gracefully Grayson, called “an emotionally complex and achingly real read.” Twelve-year-old Shane Woods is just a regular boy. He loves pitching for his baseball team, working on his graphic novel, and hanging out with his best friend, Josh. But Shane is keeping something private, something that might make a difference to his friends and teammates, even Josh. And when a classmate threatens to reveal his secret, Shane’s whole world comes crashing down. It will take a lot of courage for Shane to ignore the hate and show the world that he’s still the same boy he was before. And in the end, those who stand beside him may surprise everyone, including Shane.

Love the Bully is a labor of love taken directly from a difficult time in mine and my ten-year-old son's life, Clifford. While transitioning to a different school, he encountered many children that consistently made fun of him, mostly due to his physical attributes or his childlike personality (i.e., at ten, he still liked Transformers). Although he had many bullies, the bully in this story represents all of his oppressors rolled into one character. In the climax of the story, CJ attempts to deal with his issues himself by fleeing them but allows the planted seed of the Word of God and the instruction of myself to let go of the pain that his bullies were causing. In the end, CJ learns to deal with his bullies in a different way, which allowed for an unexpected outcome! Take the journey with CJ through this book that will allow a parent and child to discuss a difficult subject whether you are the bullied or bully . . . everyone will learn to approach difficult situations much differently than what is currently happening in our schools and communities today. Laugh, cry, and reflect as you read our journey in the first children's book of a five-part series that will go deeper into issues that our young people are dealing with daily that we must be more engaged in so that they can productively handle difficult situations that arise in their sweet lives.

Coping with anger and pain is more challenging than ever in these times—and more necessary. Two acclaimed Buddhist teachers offer strategies and wisdom in a book that’s been called “possibly the most inspiring and liberating meditation on love ever written.” When people and circumstances upset us, how do we deal with them? Often, we feel victimized. We become hurt, angry, and defensive. We end up seeing others as enemies, and when things don’t go our way, we become enemies to ourselves. But what if we could move past this pain, anger, and defensiveness? Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, this book introduces us to the four kinds of enemies we encounter in life: the outer enemy, people, institutions, and situations that mean to harm us; the inner enemy, anger, hatred, fear, and other destructive emotions; the secret enemy, self-obsession that isolates us from others; and the super-secret enemy, deep-seated self-loathing that prevents us from finding inner freedom and true happiness. In this practical guide, we learn not only how to identify our enemies, but more important, how to transform our relationship to them. Love Your Enemies teaches us how to . . . · break free from the mode of “us” versus “them” thinking · develop compassion, patience, and love · accept what is beyond our control · embrace lovingkindness, right speech, and other core concepts First published in 2013, Love Your Enemies is, more than ever, required reading for navigating our world. Throughout, authors Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman draw from ancient spiritual wisdom and modern psychology to help you find peace within yourself and with the world. * Includes new prefaces from both authors *
