With vulnerability and honesty, Jerry Sittser walks through his own grief and loss to show that new life is possible--one marked by spiritual depth, joy, compassion, and a deeper appreciation of simple blessings.
Loss came suddenly for Jerry Sittser. In an instant, a tragic car accident claimed three generations of his family: his mother, his wife, and his young daughter. While most of us will not experience such a catastrophic loss in our lifetime, all of us will taste it. And we can, if we choose, know the grace that transforms it.
Whether your suffering has come in the form of short-term illness, chronic illness, disability, divorce, rape, emotional abuse, physical or sexual abuse, chronic unemployment, crushing disappointment, mental illness, or the loss of someone you love, Sittser will help you put your thoughts into words in a way that will guide you deeper into your own healing process.
A Grace Disguised plumbs the depths of our sorrows, asks questions many people are afraid to ask, and provides hope in its answers:
The circumstances are not important; what we do with those circumstances is. In coming to the end of ourselves, we can come to the beginning of a new life.

"Having just watched the first presidential debate, the level of civility in the United States has sunk lower than we ever thought possible. This book, therefore, couldn't come at a better time. Through examples from his own life as a professional drummer, Tai Chi practitioner, father, and therapist; as well of the life's of the famous and infamous, David Medeiros not only reminds us how important the qualities of responsibility, accountability, compassion, and civility are but also provides clear guidelines for achieving them." -Richard Schwartz, Ph.D. Founder and Developer of the Internal Family Systems Model of psychotherapy
"Since David began working with us almost ten years ago, he has saved many young people's lives. This book is a reflection of his influences and integration of models of psychotherapy, the performance arts, real life experiences, and relevance of universal truths." -Dorothy Jungels and Aaron Jungels, Co-Founding Artistic Directors, Everett: Company, Stage & School
We, as a nation, are experiencing one of the most openly divisive times in our countries history. How did we get here, why are we languishing here, and what can we, as individuals, do about it? More than we think.
Through self-reflection and a recommitment to a sense of responsibility we can, on an individual and collective level, get back on a path towards civility. Some of the paths described in this book may surprise you, and one of them, the Internal Family Systems Model, can provide a clear, practical, and elegant framework that we can apply to ourselves and our actions, and improve the way we relate to and acknowledge the dignity and humanity of others.
David Medeiros was a musician for 20 years and inducted into the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame as a drummer. Currently, he is a Clinical Social Worker/psychotherapist in private practice. Areas of specialization and training include Complex and Developmental Trauma, Threat Assessment and Risk Management, integrated with models such as Internal Family Systems, and EMDR. In addition, he is proud to be involved with the Everett: Company, where he collaborated on the development of Good Grief; an exploration, through the lens of performance arts and Internal Family Systems, on how trauma is encoded, embodied, and experienced.
If you've ever taken personality quizzes before, you've probably been told to change yourself-maybe to be more outgoing, laid-back, or ambitious. This book won't tell you to change. Instead, you'll learn to navigate the world as someone with your unique personality.
Do like to spend more time alone or with friends? Are you a planner, or are you more spontaneous? What makes you feel better when you're upset? What are your life priorities? This book will help you discover all these answers and more!
Have fun learning about yourself and your friends, while celebrating all the amazing qualities that make you who you are!
Intuition, Dr. Schulz maintains, is not magical or mystical, but a real, down-to-earth capacity we all possess that is as natural as all our other senses. Functioning as a transmitter of messages from a nonrational, unconscious level of our brains, intuition provides information to guide our actions. Awakening Intuition teaches readers how to hone their receptivity to intuitive messages by attending to the clues of their bodies -- including symptoms of physical disorder and disease, dreams, internal visions or voices, body sensations, and emotional reactions.
Like Spontaneous Healing and Anatomy of the Spirit, Awakening Intuition illuminates the intimate connections between our minds, bodies, and emotions, and offers practical, proven guidelines for achieving maximum physical and psychological health. And like The Man Who Mistook His wife for a Hat, the book provides astonishing new perspectives on the powers of the mind as Dr. Schulz recounts her own extraordinary experience as a psychiatrist, clinical practitioner, and brain researcher.
"By reading this book you too can find healing, new growth, and a new life". -- Christiane Northrup, M.D., from the foreword

Porque no hay quinto malo...
En el verano del 2004, María Antonieta Collins se pre-paraba para escribir su quinto libro, cuando de repente se vio propulsada al mismísimo centro de una telenovela mexicana. Después de casi una década de estar felizmente casada con su esposo, Fabio, su armoniosa existencia familiar se tornó en un huracán cuando la ex esposa de su marido reapareció intempestivamente en sus vidas. La mujer, una rusa que Fabio no había visto en más de trece años, llegó un día a Miami con las intenciones de recobrar a su ex marido y sacudir los cimientos de la vida que María Antonieta y Fabio tanto habían luchado por conseguir.
Enfrentada a esta difícil situación, María Antonieta tenía dos opciones: podía tomar el camino fácil y separarse de Fabio, o podía tomar el más difícil y aprender a no dejarse vencer por una situación que nada tenía que ver con ella. Entonces, con el valor y la perseverancia que la caracterizan, María Antonieta decidió ponerle buena cara al mal tiempo, y luchar de una vez por todas por el hombre que ama.
En este, su quinto libro, María Antonieta cuenta la historia de este doloroso momento de su vida y se adentra en el imprevisible mundo de los ex esposos, ex esposas, ex novios y ex novias. Hoy en día, todo el mundo tiene un "ex" y para sobrevivir a lo que puede llegar a ser una experiencia desgarradora y aniquilante, hay que saber mantenerse firme, y confiar tanto en sí mismo como en la persona que se ama. A través de la pesadilla que tuvo que vivir con la ex esposa de su marido, y los muchos otros "ex" de su vida, María Antonieta ayuda una vez más a sus lectores, ofreciéndoles su humor y sus consejos más acertados para aprender a tomar la decisión adecuada en el momento adecuado.

Who hasn't heard about the dangers of smoking, obesity, and substance abuse? But no matter how much you know in your heart that you shouldn't have that drink, smoke that cigarette, or eat that chocolate, you know just as well that you will.
There is something powerful about a craving. It's not that we're poorly informed, it's that we can't stop ourselves. Our biology -- our craving mechanism -- has us standing before a firing squad, shouting, "Come on already, shoot!" Anyone who has been on a diet (or ten) or quit smoking...again and again...knows how true this is.
Yefim Shubentsov is changing all that. Shubentsov has no time for draconian measures or asceticism; life, he says, is meant to be enjoyed. His simple technique employs a new perspective on craving and a heavy dose of common sense mixed with a powerful new discovery: Bio Energy. The result of years of behind-the-iron-curtain research, Bio Energy is a force within each one of us that waits only to be stirred. By understanding your cravings and awakening your Bio Energy, the bonds of addiction are easily thrown off.
Yefim Shubentsov is placing the power to cure your cravings right in your hands. In this book, he will reveal -- for the first time -- the effective methods he has used to help 90,000 people regain control of their lives. This strategy, the Shubentsov Solution, enables people to stop smoking, overeating, and craving -- without patches, questionable drugs, or denial.
