InspiredA Handcrafted Coloring JournalIllustrated By Galadriel A.L. Thompson

Coloring books for adults have become a very popular item. There are plenty of studies on

the effectiveness of art therapy in reducing stress, and coloring seems to offer some similar benefits, as William Brennan wrote when he noted the coloring books' particular popularity in France.

Mindful coloring and journaling are ways for people to organize their thoughts and focus. So we were thrilled when we found a coloring book that would speak to our customers. Each picture is hand drawn by the very talented artist, Galadriel A.L. Thompson, with an uplifing message for coloring followed by a few pages for journaling. Whether you are looking for an activity to quiet your thoughts and give you moments of mindfulness or a more inspiring way to journal, you should give this new book a try.

Grief's Second MileBeyond the First YearBy Doug Manning

Most bereavement materials are focused on the first year of the grieving experience. However, we have often been asked, "What do you have for after the first anniversary?" In response to this need, Doug has written his latest book, Grief's Second Mile: Life Beyond the First Year.

Grief's Second Mile addresses some of the specific losses such as the death after extended illness, death of a child, suicide, violent or unresolved deaths, and why those may lengthen or stall the person's ability to approach the necessary transitions of grief in a healthy or complete manner. He provides insights and suggestions for developing ways to express feelings and cope with the loss and how to seek the help that is vital. Doug focuses on allowing

the readers to feel "normal" in their search and to discover the answers that are right for them.For hospices, churches, hospitals, lay ministry groups, Compassionate Friends, health care

facilities, friends and family.

The Back Nine 2nd EditionLife Beyond RetirementBy Doug Manning

Aging is inevitable—getting old is a choice.In 1982, Doug Manning wrote his first book

dealing with the issues and decisions to be faced with aging loved ones, When Love Gets Tough. He was fifty-years-old at the time and wrote from the experiences he had dealt with as a pastor, a counselor and with his own family. He brought a great deal of wisdom and power to the conversation about determining

the best and healthiest path for caring for those who need care. Doug is now living those choices and those issues. He has found

that too many people of his generation are becoming defeated by the frustrations of an aging body and mind and are just waiting until the end without purpose or a plan. So now he writes from the other side of those decisions and the adjustments and accommodations that must be made.

Doug was asked to conduct a series of meetings for a group of seniors at a local church. He learned that everyone in that room was scared, confused and angry at the limitations that they felt from growing old. From those presentations and questions from the group this book was born.

His premise for this book is that everyone can make choices as to how to face living the final years of life, and he provides practical and personal suggestions for taking charge and living with intention, no matter the age. This second edition expands upon his ideas for caring for your mind, body and spirit.

This book is perfect for anyone who is facing these same challenges or for families who are trying to be a support for an aging loved one. It can be used for group discussions in senior centers or senior ministries, and it can give hope and help to those who think their best days are behind them.
