This is an audiobook about being successful, fulfilled and happy in a world in which you don't always feel you fit in. Many people are emotionally sensitive and intense, and while these characteristics need not limit us, they often hold us back from expressing ourselves, being heard and taking charge of our life, love and work. This audiobook is a complete guide that shows sensitive and intense people how to navigate, successfully and predictably, the fundamental relationships that make up their lives - demonstrating along the way that intense feelings are a gift not a curse.

This book has so much wisdom for the abxiously attached. I have repeatedly home back and replayed parts because it's the deeper inner wisdom that Jessica shares, that is bang on. Jessica has a genuine and soothing voice, urging us to be gentle with ourselves as we heal through the hurts of growing up anxiously attached.

Unbelievable. It's like this book was my soul speaking to me. Absolutely astounded. The timing of the release and even coming across this book was amazing. This book is an invaluable resource for those of is in a deep time of transition in our lives. At 43, and not being truly happy with what I'm doing, this book has helped me understand the deep longings I have. Many other books will give you generic surface type advice. This one, is one for the soul. Forever grateful Terri.

One of Australia's favourite boy experts on how to help teen boys to develop into good men. For boys, adolescence can be a confusing minefield, and parents are often bewildered as to how to best guide their precious sons. Many parents wake one day to find that their beautiful little boys have grown into silent, withdrawn, sometimes angry and often unmotivated tweens and teens.

Biblical womanhood - the belief that God designed women to be submissive wives, virtuous mothers, and joyful homemakers - pervades North American Christianity. From choices about careers to roles in local churches to relationship dynamics, this belief shapes the everyday lives of evangelical women. Yet biblical womanhood isn't biblical, says Baylor University historian Beth Allison Barr. It was born in a series of clearly definable historical moments.

Absolutely incredible. How astounding to hear God's truth about women in contrast to the patriarchal world of most of christianity. I have been repelled by many churches because they too, operate in a patriarchal way as they truly believe they are 'loving' all yet hold women down at the same time. Ridiculous!

Just when Glennon Doyle Melton was beginning to feel she had it all figured out - three happy children, a doting spouse and a writing career so successful that her first book catapulted to the top of the New York Times best-seller list - her husband revealed his infidelity and she was forced to realise that nothing was as it seemed. A recovering alcoholic and bulimic, Glennon found that rock bottom was a familiar place. In the midst of crisis, she knew to hold on to what she discovered in recovery: that her deepest pain has always held within it an invitation to a richer life.
