Story
What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Absolutely nothing, thought Laura McKowen when drinking brought her to her knees. As she puts it, she “kicked and screamed . . . wishing for something - anything - else” to be her issue. The people who got to drink normally, she thought, were so damn lucky. But in the midst of early sobriety, when no longer able to anesthetize her pain and anxiety, she realized that she was actually the lucky one. Lucky to feel her feelings, live honestly, really be with her daughter, change her legacy.

Story
I almost didn’t publish Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It. Here I was, a CEO who’d fallen apart after his company failed, writing a book about how loving himself saved him. I thought I’d be a laughingstock and my career would be finished. But I stepped through the fears and shared my truth with the world. The book went viral. Amazing people all over bought copies for friends and family. For some, this book saved their lives. For others, it was the first time they ever loved themselves.

Story
Who are we...really? As depression and addiction become more commonplace in today’s culture, it seems we have lost sight of who we actually are. Like a whale on a beach, too many of us are finding ourselves breathing shallow, feeling stranded and alone. The truth is we can cut free from the things that hold us back if we can catch a clear vision of the true character of God. And like a mighty redwood tree, we can choose to live healthy lives filled with purpose, rising confidently above the chaos.

The first thing you will notice when you meet Kechi Okwuchi is her scars. One of just two survivors of a devastating plane crash that killed more than 100 people, 16-year-old Kechi was left with third-degree burns over 65 percent of her body. More than My Scars is her incredible story. A story of not just surviving impossible odds but thriving in a world that is too often caught up with how we look on the outside rather than seeing that our true value is within. Now in her early 30s, Kechi has spent the last 16 years refusing to be defined by her trauma.

Story
For years, Emma Carey was a regular young adult who would wake up and go about their day on autopilot, someone who would look at a sunset and feel unaffected, someone who was living, but not really alive. That is, until something happened that enabled her to really see life for the gift it is. Emma was in a skydiving accident that made her a paraplegic. This book is not just about Emma's fall from the sky and how she learned to walk without ever regaining feeling in her legs but also about the beliefs and ideas that helped her survive.

remember your first?
My first choice "Heaven is for Real" was to be my first ever audio book. I should've trusted my instinct. I don't know if it was the narrator, or the story itself, but I began to feel like a third grader being read to just before nap time. I'd like to believe that this book is a factual recount of his experience, so I will. However, I'm that person who wants to "not" believe all these stories because I want to be MADE to believe that the other side has been seen, and that it truly exists. Book trade-ins are allowed, correct? And it's a no questions asked, if not satisfied...? Cool-

Short and Quick
Is there anything you would change about this book?
This is a short story about one man's near death experience. I don't find it to be of sound doctrine. It presumes that we still have choices to make about our salvation after we die, and that there is another place of eternity outside of heaven and hell.
Would you recommend Heaven's Gate to your friends? Why or why not?
I would not recommend this book for a number of reasons. It was too short and then narrated very quickly - not much room for character development or entertainment value. I also did not think it was true to scripture.
What three words best describe Dow Escalante’s performance?
Way too fast.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No, thank you.

Loved it!
loved it! so much to consider and contemplate. need to have an open mind if brought up in certain literal religions, this book satisfied all the questions in the nooks and crannies of my brain. My mind can get really complex when it comes to “God”. I resonated with so much of this and this book leaves me feeling okay.
