The Pretty Victory: 100-Day Guide to Recenter Yourself and Find Your Purpose; A Devotional and Guide

"From "rising superstar" (BET), comedic actress, and online personality Pretty Vee comes a 100-day devotional and guided journal to help you define your goals, find the strength to reach them, and unapologetically go out and get what you've been dreaming of. Pretty Vee, a multi-talented comedian, actress, and philanthropist, has crafted a captivating and unique devotional blending humor, sincerity, and relatability to help make the path to spiritual enlightenment accessible and engaging for everyone. She lives by the mantra "a delay is not a denial," meaning we all have hopes and dreams, but we may need a little help to get past the hurdles. She herself has faced the anxiety of not knowing how to move forward in her life, before her mother, who is a pastor, helped her recenter and find her purpose. Far too often, life pushes us to move from one task to the next, creating a perpetual cycle of doing, doing, doing without ever taking a moment to simply sit and relish our blessings. We get so caught up in the hustle that we forget to look around and be grateful for what we already have, and what we've already accomplished. This 100-day devotional is meant to be a guided journal to help you reach your goals and find a deeper connection with God while prioritizing your mental and emotional health. Pretty Vee includes prompts to help you reflect on your journey towards gratitude, stillness, and speaking your truth. Her many friends and mentors, including Shaquille O'Neal, Issa Rae, Lil Duval, Tiffany Haddish, Kierra Sheard, and Charlamagne Tha God also add their visions for a Pretty Victory. While Pretty Vee has one foot firmly in entertaining, she also sees part of her path as helping to give back. With The Pretty Victory, she shows that brokenness doesn't last forever. And that miracles, hope, and ultimately victories are all there for you too."

"If God is love, then how do we make sense of the evil we see everywhere in the world?

Happy Relationships: 25 Buddhist Practices to Transform Your Connections with Your Partner, Family,

"Happy relationships are possible—for everyone. Even if you’ve been married for twenty years and your routine is boring and stressful; although your mom has always been a help-resistant complainer; and despite the fact that your dearest friend moved across the country — all of us can create lasting and joyful connections with the people we care about the most. Using simple tools drawn from the Buddhist tradition, you can cultivate appreciation, set wise expectations, and create meaningful and intimate bonds of mutual support and kindness with your partner, family, and friends. That’s because our happiness isn’t dependent on everything in our lives being perfect. In fact, we can experience conflict, disagreement, job loss, grief, and boredom and still have appreciation, delight, and gratitude for everyone in our lives. We can create happiness by improving the quality of our attention, the depth of our compassion, and our willingness to repair ruptures and let go of resentments. Happy Relationships is designed for all of us who are sometimes challenged by our husbands, wives, kids, parents, and best friends. It’s for those in happy marriages and close-knit families who want to feel closer and more connected to the most important people in their lives. Happy Relationships is a relatable and useful guide with practical applications to help us stay attuned and cultivate understanding with our dearest people: an inconsiderate partner repeatedly ignoring our requests; repairing the rupture from a conflict with a sibling; celebrating a child’s success; or learning to communicate with a difficult parent. Each short chapter honestly describes—in three to four pages—a common shared experience, such as the stress of old resentments, the opportunity of celebrating together mindfully, the nightly routine of a child’s bedtime, spending time with old friends—and is followed by a brief practice—a meditation, exercise, or contemplation that readers can use to orient their beautiful qualities of love, kindness, and wisdom to communicate and act in ways that lead to joy. Happy Relationships readers can use these practices alone or with their loved one anytime—from the most mundane daily routine to the excitement of a big gathering, through the sadness of loss."

Epiphany: The Season of Glory

"'We have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.' This line from the prologue of the Gospel of John declares the theme of Epiphany. Christmas celebrates Christ's birth; Epiphany manifests his glory. The feast of Epiphany and its following season are not as well observed as they should be. Many of us associate Epiphany with the visit of the Magi but don't know much more about it. In this short volume, priest and theologian Fleming Rutledge expounds the primary biblical texts and narrative arc of the season, inviting us to discover anew 'the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.' Each volume in the Fullness of Time series invites listeners to engage with the riches of the church year, exploring the traditions, prayers, Scriptures, and rituals of the seasons of the church calendar."

My Burden Is Light: Suffering and Consolation in the Christian Life

"Christ’s words ring true for this earthly life that we must endure in order to, hopefully, attain eternal rest with Him in heaven. Our fallen world is full of sufferings and struggles; from the everyday aggravations to the life-altering sorrows that we sometimes face. Yet, Christ assures us that His “yoke is sweet and [His] burden light.” This is so because He always helps us carry our crosses throughout this life and because the ultimate battle is already won, thanks to Christ’s love for us. Yet we must remain vigilant. Saint John of Avila, the 34th Doctor of the Church, gave numerous sermons on this subject, in which he offers the consolation of Christ’s own example and that of saints, like St. Francis of Assisi. St. John never failed to instruct, edify, and challenge those who listened attentively to his sermons. Within these sermons, we too can find renewed strength as we embrace the redemptive suffering of this life and hope for the beatific vision in the next. Published for the first time in English, this carefully translated work of St. John’s selected sermons will be a great spiritual aid to any soul along his path to holiness."
