Paperback. Condition: Good. The relationship experiences we have as young children greatly impact how we see ourselves and how we treat others. And yet we are, for the most part, unaware of them. Our brains, however, store every detail. In>Intentional Living, author and psychologist Barbara Stroud presents neuroscience in a manner that is accessible to everyone. Teaching you how to harness the power of your brain, she focuses on four foundational elements that support self-understanding: relationship history, emotional understanding, stress response styles, and personal culture. Many of us go through life repeating the same relationship mistakes again and again, unable to change because we don't know what's driving us. But as you begin to understand how the emotional and thinking aspects of your brain work and start to recognize the potential damage that can result when you allow your stress response to control your actions, you become able to make new choices from a place of freedom. Offering real-life examples and practical exercises, Intentional Living teaches you how to let go of painful past emotional messages and helps you build skills so you can more proactively respond to the stressors in your daily life.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. God lives in my hometown. History associates four ancient world capitals as having seven hills: Byzantium, Babylon, Jerusalem, and Rome. On seven hills four hours south of Washington, D.C., sits Lynchburg, Virginia, a town built on a river and put together with good intentions. Over one-hundred churches in fifty square miles. Brooks White lives in these hills; too old to be a teenager, too young to be an adult. Every day he strives to be what the people around him become so easily; happy with themselves and joyful in their faith. He is surrounded by the normalcy of a town full of people waiting to die. Brought home by the suicide of his childhood friend, Brooks is comforted by a white haired girl who seems to show up as his loved ones pass away. Their story is the pain, agony, Japanese wrestling, and grilled cheese that comes with living.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Rivals clash, friendships are tested, and sinister secrets are unsealed as Lockwood & Co. investigate a Victorian occultist in this second spine-chilling, ghost-filled adventure by internationally bestselling author Jonathan Stroud.  In the six months since Anthony, Lucy, and George survived a night in the most haunted house in England, Lockwood & Co. hasn't made much progress. Quill Kipps and his team of Fittes agents keep swooping in on Lockwood's investigations. Finally, in a fit of anger, Anthony challenges his rival to a contest: the next time the two agencies compete on a job, the losing side will have to admit defeat in the Times newspaper.  Things look up when a new client, Mr. Saunders, hires Lockwood & Co. to be present at the excavation of Edmund Bickerstaff, a Victorian doctor who reportedly tried to communicate with the dead. Saunders needs the coffin sealed with silver to prevent any supernatural trouble. All goes well-until George's curiosity attracts a horrible phantom.  Back home at Portland Row, Lockwood accuses George of making too many careless mistakes. Lucy is distracted by urgent whispers coming from the skull in the ghost jar. Then the team is summoned to DEPRAC headquarters. Kipps is there too, much to Lockwood's annoyance. Bickerstaff's coffin was raided and a strange glass object buried with the corpse has vanished. Inspector Barnes believes the relic to be highly dangerous, and he wants it found.  The author of the blockbuster Bartimaeus series delivers another amusing, chilling, and ingeniously plotted entry in the critically acclaimed Lockwood & Co. series. Praise for The Screaming Staircase:  "This story will keep you reading late into the night, but you'll want to leave the lights on. Stroud is a genius at inventing an utterly believable world which is very much like ours, but so creepily different. Put The Screaming Staircase on your 'need to read' list!" --Rick Riordan  "A pleasure from tip to tail, this is the book you hand the advanced readers that claim they'd rather read Paradise Lost than Harry Potter. Smart as a whip, funny, witty, and honestly frightening at times, Stroud lets loose and gives readers exactly what they want. Ghosts, kids on their own without adult supervision, and loads of delicious cookies." --Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal   "Stroud shows his customary flair for blending deadpan humor with thrilling action, and the fiery interplay among the three agents of Lockwood & Co. invigorates the story (along with no shortage of creepy moments)." --Publishers Weekly  "A heartily satisfying string of entertaining near-catastrophes, replete with narrow squeaks and spectral howls." --Kirkus Reviews. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. The astonishing final installment in the page-turning trilogy that Stephen King calls "an authentic work of American genius."   Niceville has an almost unearthly beauty when the sun tops the ancient nearby mountain called Tallulah's Wall and bathes it in soft Southern light. But there's a reason Native American tribes avoided the place:  An absence that inhabits the air and the depthless "sink" atop Tallulah's Wall. This "Nothing" has long bent time and the desires of a chosen few to her shadowy ends.   As THE RECKONING begins, Detective Nick Kavanaugh and his wife, family lawyer Kate, have accepted that reality in Niceville is not normal.  Seemingly, they've fought Nothing to a draw. But now a buzzing emerges in the heads of some perfectly normal folks. Nothing isn't finished.   Come to Niceville and sink into Carsten Stroud's inimitable blend of crime and supernatural thriller, as characters you'll love throw in with bad guys you'll like way more than you should as they battle evil.…
