Charlotte Stallings' debut publication, I Wish Someone Had Told Me! Financial Lessons Learned the Hard Way, will get you talking to your friends and family about money, and that's what she wants you to do. This book revolves around decisions, lots of them, and the role that an open discussion plays in making them wisely. In a friendly, conversational way that completely lacks pretense, Ms. Stalling strips the mystery away from what it takes to live a life free of financial anxiety, and shares how she built her "new and improved" world through careful spending and the development of good savings habits. A young woman from the projects in North Minneapolis, Ms. Stallings graduated from the University of Minnesota and got a great job with a nice salary. She also got about 20 credit cards and a ton of debt ... and kept her dilemma to herself . "My husband and I adopted a 'don't ask, don't tell policy' at our house long before the U.S. military instituted theirs," she writes. One by one, Ms. Stallings shares stories about the problematic decisions she, her family and her friends have made over the years, and how to avoid them. Most importantly, she shares stories about good choices and ways to reverse the consequences of bad decisions. In every chapter, she offers solutions to every day financial concerns -- how to manage a budget, how to find a designer purse without the designer price, when to start saving for your child's college education, how to pay off debt and how to build - or rebuild - your financial security. I Wish Someone Had Told Me! Financial Lessons Learned the Hard Way is compelling because it is so empathetic, so compassionate and so practical. Used as a guide to every day decision making about money, it can help the reader find meaningful and lasting success in managing their finances. "I learned so many money lessons the hard way!," writes Ms. Stallings. "That is why I'm sharing them with you and why I hope you will share them with people you know."

Based on Kurt Bennett's popular-ish blog God Running, Love Like Jesus begins with the story of how after a life of regular church attendance and Bible study, Bennett was challenged by a pastor to study Jesus. That led to an obsessive seven-year deep dive. After pouring over Jesus' every interaction with another human being, he realized he was doing a much better job of studying Jesus' words than he was following Jesus' words and example. The honest and fearless revelations of Bennett's own moral failures affirm he wrote this book for himself as much as for others. Love Like Jesus examines a variety of stories, examples, and research, including: -Specific examples of how Jesus communicated God's love to others. -How Jesus demonstrated all five of Gary Chapman's love languages (and how you can too). -The story of how Billy Graham extended Christ's extraordinary love and grace toward a man who misrepresented Jesus to millions. -How to respond to critics the way Jesus did. -How to love unlovable people the way Jesus did. -How to survive a life of loving like Jesus (or how not to become a Christian doormat). -How Jesus didn't love everyone the same (and why you shouldn't either). -How Jesus guarded his heart by taking care of himself--he even napped--and why you should do the same.-How Jesus loved his betrayer Judas, even to the very end. With genuine unfiltered honesty, Love Like Jesus, shows you how to live a life according to God's definition of success: A life of loving God well, and loving the people around you well too. A life of loving like Jesus.

There's no shortage of "expert" advice for the new mother: books, doctors, and well-meaning grandmothers liberally give opinions on what you should be doing and how you should be feeling. But I Wish Someone Had Told Me is not a book of shoulds: it is a book about how women really handle the joys, the challenges, and the problems of being a mother. During the course of her interviews with more than sixty new moms, Nina Barrett made an important discovery. No one knows the secret: we are all putting our motherhood together from scratch. This collection of tales from the front addresses universal topics from labor (yes, it hurts), to marriage (babies may create a strain rather than a bond), to daycare (there is no Mary Poppins), to everyday life with a baby (what exactly does a newborn do all day?). This book by mothers for mothers will instill confidence in all new mothers who fear that every other mother knows something that they do not.

Someone Should Have Told Me is a book for adults to share with children. Through the use of colourful, fun illustrations and simple statements prefaced by "Someone should have told me...," the book helps adults talk to children about potential online dangers, such as seeing pornography, sexting and grooming by online predators. The book also discusses face-to-face grooming and children exposing other children to pornography. There are discussion questions to see if children have understood the key concepts, and additional information to support adults in their explanations of the potential dangers covered in the book. There is also information for adults on what to do if a child has seen pornography and what to do if a child discloses they have been abused. These are difficult conversations to have with children, but it is extremely important children are aware of these potential dangers and know what to do to enhance their own safety. Hopefully this book will help you have these conversations with the children in your life in a fun, non-confronting way.
