Paperback. Zustand: Good. A scathingly funny debut novel about disillusionment, indifference, and one man's desperate fight to assign absolutely no meaning to modern life. The only thing Shane cares about is leaving. Usually on a Greyhound bus, right before his life falls apart again. Just like he planned. But this time it's complicated: there's a sadistic corporate climber who thinks she's his girlfriend, a rent-subsidized affair with his landlord's wife, and the bizarrely appealing deaf assistant to Shane's cosmically unstable dentist. When one of the women is murdered, and Shane is the only suspect who doesn't care enough to act like he didn't do it, the question becomes just how he'll clear the good name he never had and doesn't particularly want: his own. "The malaise of cubicle culture may be well-trodden comedic territory by now, but Neilan's debut skewers office life with a flourish for the grotesque." --The Village Voice.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Hurt and challenges are a part of life's journey. Although none of us like to endure hardship or painful experiences in life, nothing great ever came without setbacks, roadblocks, or detours. It is the fuel that's used to ignite the fire from within us and brings forth strength, perseverance, and the power to overcome. It exposes and develops abilities from within we could have never known existed had we not gone through such heartache. These challenges allow us to discover, develop, and tap into a greater source of strength that only come from God.I used to believe if you sowed love, then love was what you receive in return. However, I now realize one's ability to love properly can only be determined by the depth of love you have for yourself. After discovering my husband had committed adultery, I found myself entangled in the snare of bitterness and unforgiveness, forcing me to go on my own journey in search of what it truly means to love.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In her private practice, Mary-Elaine Jacobsen worked with thousands of parents to help them with their defiant, obnoxious, and challenging children. By following her program parents have seen their children's arguing, tantrums, and disobedience come to an end. In THE BRAT STOPS HERE, Dr. Jacobsen comprehensively outlines her program for giving parents the essential tools they need to set limits and expectations and follow through with their kids when they cross the line. The key to Dr. Jacobsen's program is the Privileges On/Privileges Off approach. When a child does not comply with the rules of the house (which are carefully explained to the child in an age appropriate manner), he or she loses all privileges and must earn them back by apologizing, acknowledging what they would do differently, doing what was asked of them in the first place, and performing an additional chore. Following this approach consistently over the course of five weeks will have a dramatic effect on the household--including reducing tension in the interaction between parents and children, developing skills that will help children get along better at home and at school, and laying the foundation for children to become self-sufficient, responsible adults.…
