Downshifting - How to Work Less and Enjoy Life More

Unfulfilled longing for a child can feel like an impossible weight to bear. Infertile women and couples can feel hopeless and angry.  They ask, ?Why God? Why won?t you send us a baby?? But there is hope and true encouragement, and it starts with the Word of God.

Surviving Infertility: What the Bible Says about Your Baby Hunger is a compassionate guide through the tangle of emotions and struggles faced by the infertile couple.  Using Scripture as a standard, infertile couples can overcome jealousy of other women?s pregnancies, build faith during times of waiting, and find peace in the face of overpowering anxiety. You will gain new strength from a true study of God's Word, which will shepherd you through the monthly, weekly, daily and hourly struggle with infertility.  If you are consumed with baby hunger, it?s time to hunger for God and what the Bible says about your struggle.  Complete with Leader's Guides and "A Little Lagniappe" (extras for those who want to dive deeper into God's Word),  Surviving Infertility is perfect for individual study, couples study or Infertility Support Groups.

In Jerusalem, Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi explore  the vibrant cuisine of their home city—with its diverse Muslim, Jewish, and Christian communities.

With five bustling restaurants in London and two stellar cookbooks, Ottolenghi is one of the most respected chefs in the world; in Jerusalem, he and Tamimi have collaborated to produce their most personal cookbook yet.

Heather Armstrong gave up a lot of things when she and her husband, Jon, decided to have a baby: beer, small boobs, free time -- and antidepressants. The eighteen months that followed were filled with anxiety, constipation, nacho cheese Doritos, and an unconditional love that threatened to make her heart explode. Still, as baby Leta grew and her husband, Jon, returned to work, Heather faced lonely days, sleepless nights, and endless screaming that sometimes made her wish she'd never become a mother. Just as she was poised to throw another gallon of milk at her husband's head, she committed herself for a short stay in a mental hospital -- the best decision she ever made for her family.

To the dedicated millions who can't get enough of Heather's unforgettably unique style and hilarious stories on her hugely popular blog, there's little she won't share about her daily life as a recovering Mormon, liberal daughter of Republicans, wife of a charming geek, lover of television that exceeds at being really awful, and stay-at-home mom to five-year-old Leta and two willful dogs.

In It Sucked and Then I Cried, Heather tells, with trademark wit, the heartfelt, unrelentingly honest story of her battle with postpartum depression and all the other minor details of pregnancy and motherhood that no one cares to mention. Like how boring it can be to care for someone whose primary means of communication is through her bowels. And how long it can possibly take to reconvene the procedure that got you into this whole parenthood mess in the first place. And how you sometimes think you can't possibly go five more minutes without breathing in that utterly irresistible and totally redeemable fresh baby smell.

It Sucked and Then I Cried is a brave cautionary tale about crossing over that invisible line to the other side (the parenting side), where everything changes and it only gets worse. But most of all, it's a celebration of a love so big it can break your heart into a million pieces.
