Why We Can’t Sleep meets Furiously Happy in this hilarious, heartfelt memoir about one woman’s midlife obsession with Benedict Cumberbatch, and the liberating power of reclaiming our passions as we age, whatever they may be. Tabitha Carvan was a new mother, at home with two young children, when she fell for the actor Benedict Cumberbatch. You know the guy: strange name, alien face, made Sherlock so sexy that it became one of the most streamed shows in the world? The force of her fixation took everyone—especially Carvan herself—by surprise. But what she slowly realized was that her preoccupation was not about Benedict Cumberbatch at all, as dashing as he might be. It was about finally feeling passionate about something, anything, again at a point in her life when she had lost touch with her own identity and sense of self. In This Is Not a Book About Benedict Cumberbatch, Carvan explores what happens to women's desires after we leave adolescence…and why the space in our lives for pure, unadulterated joy is squeezed ever smaller as we age. She shines a light onto the hidden corners of fandom, from the passion of the online communities to the profound real-world connections forged between Cumberbatch devotees. But more importantly, she asks: what happens if we simply decide to follow our interests like we used to—unabashedly, audaciously, shamelessly? After all, Carvan realizes, there’s true, untapped power in finding your “thing” (even if that thing happens to be a British-born Marvel superhero) and loving it like your life depends on it.

The Notes on Nursing is the revolutionary book by one of the founders of "modern medicine." Although Florence Nightingale was ridiculed for her views and approach by many contemporaries, including prominent doctors of her times, she stood her ground. She saved many lives from unnecessary death of hospital infection. Florence Nightingale first started demanding that all the surgical instruments were boiled, and the rooms ventilated. She collected and summed up her views in a 74-page brochure of notes on nursing, in which she described the role of clean water, air, food, and beds, as well as the cleanliness of hospital personnel for patient recovery.

It’s Not Complicated! is addressed to fathers, mothers, children, and those desiring to marry and become fathers and mothers who will raise, train, and discipline their children (especially boys) to be mature—not placeholders, but healthy, responsible, and independent citizens who are not looking for an easy way out, but rather are seeking God’s plan for the prosperity (economic, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being) of their family. The history of the world will tell us just how destructive it is to have people out of place (especially in a family). In other words, the family unit is continuing to break down while the mother and/or father is blaming the other for the destruction they see, instead of taking responsibility to ensure their children are healed of the wounds often caused by the ignorance of the parent(s). God has a plan for man (male and female), the family, and the society. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare (peace) and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11, ESV). Until we do it his way, devastation and death will continue to occur in our homes and communities because of the ignorance we perpetuate when we hear disrespectful words and see disrespectful behavior emanating from our children, youth, and young adults. No society can continue its existence without the male assuming his God-given, God-ordained responsibility to provide leadership for his family in a God-honoring, grace-filled manner that’s motivated by love. Without proper instruction and encouragement, we cannot continue as a healthy people or a sound healthy community.
