Who's Counting?

release date: Jan 01, 2005
Who's Counting?
Spokeswoman for a generation, Jackie is saucy, sassy, and sure of herself. Now she shares her wisdom for the ageless in Who''s Counting? So what does Jackie know that the young whippersnappers could stand to learn? She knows that life is too short to spend worrying over every calorie, every wrinkle, and every penny. She knows that too much of a good thing can be a very good thing. Most importantly, she knows that she can get away with anything! In addition to her piquant observations and clever one-liners, Who''s Counting? features hilarious full-color photos of Jackie at her rambunctious best. See her hanging tough astride a tricked-out motorcycle, flirting with tuxedo-clad men a fraction of her age, and laughing it up with a friend (at something off-color and hardly ladylike, no doubt). There''s a new and growing generation of women who are making "the good life" last and last, and Jackie is an outspoken champion for them all.

Paris is definitely burning.Now you can share all the fun, fashion, glitz, and glamour with Paris the Heiress: A Paris Hilton Paper Doll Book. Dress her up! Accessorize! Stage your own little tragicomedy with the up-and-coming queen of all media. Sure, Paris has done the down-on-the-farm bit, but with the outfits in this book you can really stretch her repertoire. Why not Paris as brain surgeon, biker chick, or even (quel horreur!) overweight suburban housewife? The Paris Hilton Paper Doll Book comes complete with two 10-inch-tall, perforated paper dolls and a whole closet full of outfits the living doll would not be caught dead in. Fashions come and go, but as Rick told Ilsa in Casablanca We''ll always have Paris.

Stay Cool

release date: Sep 14, 2010
Stay Cool
What does it mean to be cool? The quality has always been hard to define, but easy to identify. James Dean. Miles Davis. They were cool. Joe Montana scrambling in the pocket. Steve McQueen riding a motorcycle. Very cool. To that list, you can now add another towering paragon of cool: the mighty polar bear. In Stay Cool, award-winning polar photographer Jonathan Chester and writer Patrick Regan reveal the uncanny life lessons to be learned from polar bears, those imposing but endlessly appealing kings of the Arctic. Pithy, clever, and surprisingly heartwarming, Stay Cool illustrates that these wild creatures with a strong sense of self and the ability to rely on their instincts have something useful to teach us all, making this keepsake book a great gift for people of all ages.

When Faith Gets Shaken: Third Edition
''A moving story of courage and faith in the fire''. BEAR GRYLLS What do you do when life falls apart and it feels as if God has left you? How do you keep going when your faith is rocked to the core? Sometimes things get so hard we''re not sure where God is - or what he''s up to. Patrick was facing pain, illness and loss in his family and community; then a series of excruciating operations took him to the brink - physically, emotionally and spiritually. Writing during his journey of recovery, Patrick reflects on the true nature of courage as he explores: - how we find God in times of suffering - how we can know God''s peace when life is anything but peaceful - how we allow ourselves the grace to rest when we''re running on empty - how we can stay fully present in the moment. In doing so, he heartens and encourages us to grasp the love of God at an ever-deeper level.

My Unflappable Mom

release date: Mar 12, 2013
My Unflappable Mom
A photographic penguin-filled ode to mom arriving just in time for Mother’s Day from the successful team who created Flipping Brilliant and other top-selling gift books. Jonathan Chester and Patrick Regan''s My Unflappable Mom is a loving tribute to “the most rare of birds—the incredible, unflappable mom.” You know the type. Band-Aids. Car pools. Freshly baked cookies. The 5th grade scale model of Mt. Vesuvius she helped sculpt out of papier-mache—complete with pyrotechnics. Chester’s striking and intimate nature photographs of tuxedoed penguins and their young beautifully illustrate Regan’s charming verse that honors those incredible, unflappable moms who nurture and instill a spirit of adventure and independence in their young. While it’s a mom’s job to be ever watchful, fiercely protective, and deeply engaged in her children’s lives, it’s also a mom’s job to let go—to send her young into the big scary world—whether that means walking away without looking back on the first day of kindergarten or nudging them gently out of the nest as young adults. In My Unflappable Mom, Chester and Regan celebrate the relationship between mother and child while praising mom for being the rare bird that she is—and that’s definitely something to flap about.

Honesty Over Silence

release date: Apr 18, 2024
Honesty Over Silence
''The Bible is way more honest than most churches about the actual levels of pain and confusion in life. That''s why we need this book. It''s going to provoke ten thousand honest conversations, helping to bring healing, hope and understanding to many who currently suffer in silence.'' Pete Greig, Founder of 24-7 Prayer and leader of Emmaus Rd Church, Guildford IT''S OK NOT TO BE OK Honesty Over Silence seeks to open up conversations around topics that many find difficult, such as trusting God when life is painful, dealing with anxiety and depression, learning to look after ourselves, developing our character, and living with thankful hearts even in tough seasons. It examines our strength in letting go of our need to be in control, as well as looking at how we can stop comparing ourselves to others, and instead live authentically and honestly as we grow into the people God has created us to be. ''The power of this book is in its piercing honesty and vulnerability. It gives a voice to those issues that we as Christians sometimes want silenced: what happens when darkness falls? Where is God in mental illness? Can I ever be enough? Through Patrick''s stories of his own life and those of others, he powerfully reminds us that a life of faith is smattered with, but not shattered by, dark places. This is an amazing book which will bless, encourage and comfort many.'' Tim and Rachel Hughes, Lead Pastors at Gas Street Church, Birmingham
