Be Good to Your Body: Getting Back to God's Design in a World of Wellness Trends, Quick Fixes, and C

"The bestselling author of Own Your Everyday and Embrace Your Almost leads you on a journey of health and faith as you pursue wellness as a way to worship God without turning wellness into a god you worship. "In her most profound work to date, Jordan has taken historical biblical truths and translated them into daily, practical, healthy rhythms."-Annie F. Downs, New York Times bestselling author of That Sounds Fun For too long, women have been caught in the relentless cycle of dieting fads and fleeting body-positivity trends, quick-fix weight-loss solutions, and intimidating lifestyle overhauls. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by society's false promises and conflicting advice, you're not alone. Jordan Lee Dooley knows this struggle well. She has navigated the same confusing landscape, all while grappling with the constant feeling of never doing enough. In Be Good to Your Body, Jordan invites you on a powerful journey of health and faith. She shows you how to pursue wellness as an act of worship to God, rather than making wellness itself an idol. Drawing on scientific research, Scripture, expert insights, and her own experiences, she reveals ● how to view your body as a God-given gift, not a project to fix ● the pitfalls of diet culture and self-love-and why neither extreme satisfies ● the biblical principle of stewardship as a path to holistic health ● practical steps and daily habits to align your health practices with God's design Jordan points you back to biblical foundations and the goodness of God, asking: What if the real solution to the extremes of diet culture and body positivity has been there all along, nestled in the pages of the Bible-the Word of the One who created our bodies and knows exactly what they need to thrive? Discover the joy of honoring your body as you return to the good things God made for you as you embrace a wellness journey that nourishes your spirit and brings you closer to your creator."

Mrs. Wilson's Affair: A Great Gatsby Retelling (A Novel)

"A beautiful retelling of The Great Gatsby from the perspective of an often forgotten, yet indispensable, character-Myrtle Wilson, Tom Buchanan's mistress. Perfect for fans of Julia and The Chosen and the Beautiful. It is 1922. Myrtle Wilson lives a lonely, desolate existence above her husband's garage in the "valley of ashes" between New York and Long Island. All her dreams-and her marriage itself-are turning to dust until she crosses paths with Tom Buchanan on the subway. In one moment, Myrtle's life is irrevocably changed. "You can't live forever, you can't live forever" becomes the mantra that galvanizes her decision to embark on a fateful affair with the wealthy stranger. She battles with herself and the forces that keep her boxed in, experimenting with what little power she has over the men in her life, her situation growing more dire in the frenetic days leading up to her death. Paralleling the events of The Great Gatsby-and in key scenes even masterfully weaving in original dialogue-Mrs. Wilson's Affair provides a poignant look at how isolation and unfulfilled desire can shape our destiny and will transform how you read Fitzgerald's classic novel.

Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks: Dealing with Dragons

"In this Dungeons & Dragons novel, the Fallbacks rush to balance the scales before a draconic foe reaps their cleric's soul. When the day is threatened by tyrannical foes or monstrous fiends, the people of Faerûn place their trust in the realm's mighty heroes. When the mighty heroes don't show up, they get the Fallbacks. The team: A flamboyant bard with a bandstand's worth of secrets. A wizard whose thirst for knowledge leads her to triumph and trouble. A virtuous fighter with a family that's anything but. A cunning rogue just trying to keep everyone together. And then there's the party's cleric. Baldric has always had an unorthodox approach to divinity. While other folk of faith hitch their wagons to one god or another, this cleric figures that if his magic and might can serve many gods and reap the rewards of the entire pantheon, everyone wins. But there's a price to be paid for the power to protect Faerûn. And every debt must one day be collected. Baldric finds himself cut off from his connection to the divine when a mysterious and otherworldly entity starts to invade his negotiations. And this entity wants more than Baldric's service-it wants his soul. The Fallbacks race to free their cleric from his shadowy debtholder, but the heat is on-in more ways than one-because the being trying to lay claim to Baldric isn't exactly a god. Forget striking bargains with deities. To get out of this jam, the Fallbacks will have to deal with dragons."
