Respect, trust, and commitment are the cornerstones of a dedicated relationship between a teacher and a student. For a passionate student yearning to learn and understand the essence of a subject, they must demonstrate these traits before a teacher will take them under their wing. In this case, the teacher was Thomas Troward of Cornwall England and the student was Genevieve Behrend. He imparted his personal insight to the one and only pupil who could perpetuate this knowledge and share it with the world. Not long after her time with Troward, Behrend began her mission in New York City where she established and headed The School of the Builders up until 1925. She then established another school in Los Angeles before touring other major cities throughout North America for the next 35 years as a celebrated lecturer, teacher, and practitioner of Mental Science. Your Invisible Power was her first book and remains her most powerful and popular work. Behrend presents the Troward philosophy at its best because of the way her incomparably direct, and dynamic personality relates the life-changing concepts on a personal level. Behrend says, "We all possess more power and greater possibilities than we realize, and visualizing is one of the greatest of these powers". Listen as she offers you a powerful, yet simple and easy guide to open up the way to the attainment of your desires.
Lena wrote You're Lying! because no matter what your profession or life circumstances, you need the skills to take control of a situation, detect deception, and reveal the truth. While you probably won't ever have to interrogate a detainee who doesn't want to tell you about an upcoming terrorist attack--as Lena has--You're Lying! will help you deal with that salesperson trying to rip you off, the kid bullying your child who claims innocence, a cheating spouse, or dissembling boss. As the adage says, knowledge is power. Lena interrogated numerous members of Al Qaeda and the Taliban while stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, then taught those skills to Defense Department personnel for years afterward. Her ability to build rapport, accurately read body language, and employ effective questioning techniques led to numerous successes that saved American lives. You will also learn her easy-to-follow five-step program on how to accurately detect verbal (both spoken and written) and non-verbal deceptive tells, how to conduct an effective line of questioning, and what to do after you identify the lies we all face every day. Take the knowledge in You're Lying! and empower yourself.
Dynamic CNBC personality Michelle Caruso-Cabrera presents a fresh, intelligent argument for correcting our nation's economic and social woes by focusing on the principles of personal responsibility, fiscal conservatism, and limited government.
As the popular anchor of CNBC's daily news show Power Lunch, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera puts a new spin on conservatism. Now, in You Know I'm Right, Caruso-Cabrera presents a modern and smart approach to correcting the economic woes of the nation. Denouncing the hypocrites, she calls out the radicals on both sides of the spectrum who have frustrated voters and left fiscally conservative but socially liberal Americans feeling like a people without a party.
Caruso-Cabrera maintains that by focusing on socially invasive policies, our country has lost its course. The answer is less government, not more; less spending, not more; and getting the government to stay out of our pocketbooks and out of our private lives. You Know I'm Right addresses the problems created by government overreach and speaks to the minds and hearts of nostalgic Republicans—those who believe in the strategy and approach used by Ronald Reagan. But it will also appeal to Clinton-era Democrats frustrated by the current level of exorbitant spending and excessive interference in the economy. Citing faults with both political parties, Caruso-Cabrera puts a magnifying glass on government structure, healthcare, and education, underscoring how we have gone wrong and, more important, where we need to go for a secure and prosperous future.
Years ago, a young woman was beaten and raped while onlookers did nothing. Now those witnesses are becoming victims themselves.
Baltimore Homicide Detective J. D. Fitzpatrick has seen a lot of horrific violence, both as a cop and during his deployment in Afghanistan, but nothing like the trail of tortured bodies that are turning up throughout the city. He's up against a brutal killer with a very personal vendetta, and now J. D. is beginning to suspect that his medical examiner may be shielding some crucial evidence linked to the case.
Assigned to the murder victims, forensic pathologist Dr. Lucy Trask is intrigued by J. D.'s compassion, but she isn't about to mix work with pleasure. Not while there's a ruthless killer on the loose. And definitely not while she's keeping a dark secret that could connect her to these vicious killings—and put her next on the hit list.
"Rose doesn't allow her luxurious characterizations to get in the way of a wicked good plot that grabs hold and maintains tension from beginning to end."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Fans of women's fiction will delight in this novel filled with heart and humor.

-Deal: Devise a plan to get what you need, manage your boss, and move your career forward.Filled with concrete examples, this book will help readers take back their power from even the most challenging bad bosses- chronic critics, yellers, unconscious discriminators, control freaks, pathological liars, and more.
Book 6 in the Alpha Pack series.
Still tormented by his recent captivity, Alpha Pack commander Nick Westfall isn't sure he's fit to lead—especially when he meets the one woman he can't claim without reliving the torture he endured at the hands of a rogue vampire.
Vampire princess Calla Shaw has seen her own share of heartbreak, but she can tell that the wild attraction she and Nick feel for each other could turn into something significant—if only he'd let it. But Calla isn't about to give up on her mate without a fight.
Time is running out, not only for Nick to claim his mate but for Calla and her coven. A vampire war is on the horizon, one the Alpha Pack can't hope to win if their leader can't pull himself back from the abyss.

Wits Guts Grit is inspired by the many what-if questions acclaimed science writer and mother of two Jena Pincott asked herself as research on how the invisible forces that shape our minds and health has emerged and grown over the past decade.What if we identify the microbes that support stress resilience, find ways to expose our kids to them, and then test them?
What if we reintroduce the mineral magnesium, deficient in almost every child's diet? Would it reduce anxiety and increase bounce-back, as the science now suggests?
What if memory and learning could improve measurably after eating certain foods-such as blueberries-high in plant chemicals called flavonols?
What if primal ways of moving the body strengthen kids' working memory and mental flexibility? What if receiving the right types of touch translates into better emotional control and self-regulation?
These and many more questions led Pincott to simple, all-natural "biohacks"-or experiments inspired by current research and theory-complete with instructions on how to undertake them to help your own children strengthen their wits, guts, and grit. Explaining the science and her own experimentation with her two gung-ho daughters in a lively, humorous, accessible way, Pincott guides parents to learn how the underlying ingredients of the traits we all want for our kids-resilience, focus, perseverance, working memory, and more-may be all around us in the natural world, ready to be harnessed.
Though life seems to be moving others ahead, Josh appears to have come to a dead standstill. What does the future hold?
Life was full of choices. The only problem was figuring out what to do! "What do you plan to do-after graduation? Are you gonna be a minister-or what?" Or what, my mind echoed in frustration. What?
I had been asking myself the same question over and over. And I still didn't have an answer. Graduation was only a month away, and it seemed that I was the only one in our small town school who didn't know what to do with life after the big day. It wasn't that I hadn't given it a thought. In fact, I thought about it most of the time. I prayed about it too. But I still didn't have an answer except to say honestly, "No-I don't know yet." And I'd been saying that for a long, long time.
"Gavin's reading lends a quaint yet realistic voice to Josh's dilemma." -Booklist
