SPARK
Transform Your World One Small Risk at a Time
​
Tired of dreaming about changing your life? Ready to change it? You came to the right place.
Jason Jaggard has developed a simple, direct way to practice the art of self-challenge. It requires a willingness to take healthy risks and is energized by the involvement of a small group of fellow risk-takers.
When you practice the art of self-challenge you notice that your life and the world around you start changing for the better. It involves doing the one thing that only you can do: take responsibility for your life. So go ahead and take your first risk: open this book and start reading.
"At any given moment, progress is only one risk away. We're always one healthy choice away from changing the trajectory of our lives. We don't know our destinies for the next five or ten years, but we know what's available to us right now, and what we can do next. At any moment, we can choose to do something that is different from what we've tried before...it always involves taking a small risk."

from SPARK by Jason Jaggard
"I had a choice. I can't control noninfectious diseases, natural disasters, or heartbreak. I can't control most of the things moms worry about, in fact. But I can control how I spend my time, what's worth my focus and attention, what words I say, how well I love. What was up to me were the small choices, my mindset in this earthly life, and how best to spend my first and only tour on this planet."

from HERE NOW by Kate Merrick
Here Now
Unearthing Peace and Presence in an overconnected world
​
What is our truest life was the one right in front of us?
Does life sometimes seem to be passing you by? Are you so busy - with email to check, Instagram to scroll through, and friends to be envious of - that you've become disconnected from your actual life? You know, the one you are living right here, right now?
With hilariously relatable confessions and profoundly beautiful insights, Kate Merrick invites us to stop running away from the lives we're living today and instead walk in the peace and fullness God* offers
moment to moment. She shows us how to:
-
kill your WiFi, put down the tech, and find deeper contentment
-
redirect the FOMO so you don't miss out on your own life
-
go on a diet of fewer choices to discover the blessings of the quiet, the slow, and the intentional.
Only when we look honestly at our own hearts and have the courage to live truly present do we receive the gifts of God* found in all life's seasons - the painful ones, the big and beautiful ones, and even the ordinary ones.
*God/The Universe/My Higher Power ~ substitute the word that aligns with your beliefs.
​​“Not every story has a happy ending, ... but the discoveries of science, the teachings of the heart, and the revelations of the soul all assure us that no human being is ever beyond redemption. The possibility of renewal exists so long as life exists. How to support that possibility in others and in ourselves is the ultimate question.”

from In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Gabor Maté
in the realm of hungry ghosts
close encounters with addiction
​
Based on Gabor Maté’s two decades of experience as a medical doctor and his groundbreaking work with the severely addicted on Vancouver’s skid row, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts radically reenvisions this much misunderstood field by taking a holistic approach. Dr. Maté presents addiction not as a discrete phenomenon confined to an unfortunate or weak-willed few, but as a continuum that runs throughout (and perhaps underpins) our society; not a medical "condition" distinct from the lives it affects, rather the result of a complex interplay among personal history, emotional, and neurological development, brain chemistry, and the drugs (and behaviors) of addiction. Simplifying a wide array of brain and addiction research findings from around the globe, the book avoids glib self-help remedies, instead promoting a thorough and compassionate self-understanding as the first key to healing and wellness.
In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts argues persuasively against contemporary health, social, and criminal justice policies toward addiction and those impacted by it. The mix of personal stories—including the author’s candid discussion of his own "high-status" addictive tendencies—and science with positive solutions makes the book equally useful for lay readers and professionals.
"There is nothing in the physical world that was not first created in mind. It is true that who you are, what you are surrounded by, and the life you lead is a manifestation of human thoughts, both yours and others. You are what you know, who you believe, and that starts in the mind."

One Truth,
One Law
I Am
i create
​
At the forefront of spiritual awakening, One Truth, One Law is your roadmap to oneness, manifestation, and the universe.
The Big Metaphysical Questions: Who are we? Why are we here? How can we access the intuitive voice of God/source/the universe to step into our role as unlimited creators?
One Truth, One Law has the answers channeled directly from God.
One truth is the difference between understanding everything or knowing nothing. If you have the courage to set aside what you think you know, this book has the answers you've never quite been able to grasp. If you have the courage to read with a truly open mind, you won't have to ever search for truth again.
"You need a very strong will in order to adopt The 4 Agreements - but if you can begin to live your life with these agreements, the transformation in your life will be amazing. You will see the drama of hell disappear right before your very eyes. Instead of living in a dream of hell, you will be creating a new dream - your personal dream of heaven."

from The 4 Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz
The Four Agreements
A Toltec wisdom Book
​
In this book, best selling author don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, The Four Agreements offers a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.
"Our point of view creates our reality. When we are stuck in our beliefs, our reality becomes rigid, stagnant, and oppressive. We become bound to our attachments because we have lost our ability to recognize that we have a choice to be free of them."
​
from The 5 Levels of Attachment by don Miguel Ruiz
The Five levels of
Attachment
toltec wisdom for the modern world
​
In this groundbreaking work, don Miguel Ruiz Jr. write that we have all unwittingly made agreements about how we think we should live our lives and what we believe our personal truths are.
But what most people do no t realize is that each one of these agreements represents an attachment, a limiting filter on who we think we are, and what our future could hold.
Armed with the awareness of which beliefs and ideas you are most attached to, you can better navigate the recurring situations in your life that cause you suffering, release any unhealthy beliefs that are no longer serving you, and create a future that is in alignment with your authentic self.
“It felt like I was speeding on the Autobahn toward hell, trapped inside a DeLorean with no brakes. And even if I could somehow stop, I’d still be screwed, because there’s no way I’d ever be able to figure out how to open those insane, cocaine-designed doors.”

from Guts by Kristen Johnson
Guts
the endless follies and tiny triumphs of a giant disaster
​
Actress Kristen Johnston has written her first book, a surprisingly raw and triumphant memoir that is outrageous, moving, sweet, tragic, and heartbreakingly honest. Guts is a true achievement—a memoir that manages to be as frank and revealing as Augusten Burroughs, yet as hilarious and witty as David Sedaris. Johnston takes us on a journey so truthful and relatable, so remarkably fresh, it promises to stay with you for a long, long time.
