The Longest Ride

The Longest Ride

In the tradition of his beloved first novel, The Notebook, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nicholas Sparks returns with the remarkable story of two couples whose lives intersect in profound and surprising ways.

Ira Levinson is in trouble. Ninety-one years old and stranded and injured after a car crash, he struggles to retain consciousness until a blurry image materializes beside him: his beloved wife Ruth, who passed away nine years ago. Urging him to hang on, she forces him to remain alert by recounting the stories of their lifetime together - how they met, the precious paintings they collected together, the dark days of WWII and its effect on them and their families. Ira knows that Ruth can't possibly be in the car with him, but he clings to her words and his memories, reliving the sorrows and everyday joys that defined their marriage.

A few miles away, at a local bull-riding event, a Wake Forest College senior's life is about to change. Recovering from a recent break-up, Sophia Danko meets a young cowboy named Luke, who bears little resemblance to the privileged frat boys she has encountered at school. Through Luke, Sophia is introduced to a world in which the stakes of survival and success, ruin and reward -- even life and death - loom large in everyday life. As she and Luke fall in love, Sophia finds herself imagining a future far removed from her plans -- a future that Luke has the power to rewrite . . . if the secret he's keeping doesn't destroy it first.

Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples who have little in common, and who are separated by years and experience. Yet their lives will converge with unexpected poignancy, reminding us all that even the most difficult decisions can yield extraordinary journeys: beyond despair, beyond death, to the farthest reaches of the human heart.

Simple Sex: How to Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Pleasure

Simple Sex: How to Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Pleasure

Sex books, how-to guides, manuals, and the countless "better" sex positions—men and women alike: we all want more pleasure, deeper intimacy, and to feel good about our sexual performance. Simple Sex gives us what we're really looking for: how to never have another bad night of sex again.


The Missing Link from Every "How-To" Sex Manual


If you've read books like David Deida's The Way of the Superior Man and The Enlightened Sex Manual or Ian Kerner's She Comes First, you've been exposed to some of the best sex tips in the self-help industry. Still, even the best tips and tactics can leave us feeling more inadequate than when we started. So what's the real difference between feeling like a tantric master and feeling completely inadequate as a lover? Simply put, it's all in the approach. It's the why behind the tactics that separates the novice from the master.


In Simple Sex, David Hrostoski explores the mindsets of "The Logical Lover," and why the most common approaches to sex often lead to feelings of "not enough" in the bedroom.


In this book, you'll learn...

  • How to never have another bad sexual experience again.

  • The number one belief holding men and women back in the bedroom—a belief that any logical approach can only make worse—and how to break free.

  • How to feel everything and truly experience the here-and-now, whether that's in front of your laptop, a handsome man, or a beautiful woman.

  • How to bring sexual tactics into the picture without getting lost in your head, and without the steep learning curves that can leave you feeling inadequate as a lover,.

  • Three simple strategies to play with the sensation in your body for longer-lasting and stronger orgasms.


More About Simple Sex:


David Hrostoski has spent the past five years consuming and integrating thousands of hours of material on dating, sex, love and relationships, and the past three years coaching men and women from all over the world on how to show up better with their partners and in the bedroom.


He's seen it repeatedly both in his own life and in the lives of his clients—how we show up for our relationships is how we show up for the rest of our life. And in a world that largely values success and financial status over happiness and fulfillment, we find an alarming number of people putting their needs and wants aside and subscribing to the many "shoulds" of life instead. As we take this way-of-being into the bedroom, we end up focusing on how to be better and forget why we're having sex in the first place: to feel


Simple Sex debunks to logical approaches to sex—both the partner-first and me-first mentalities—and offers, as a replacement, a feeling-first approach to sex. And not just feeling and focusing on the pleasure alone. When the purpose of sex is to feel, we feel everything, including any and all pieces of the wide spectrum of emotions and sensations we're capable of feeling as human beings.



When we learn to feel every piece of our experience in the bedroom, we learn to escape the logic-trap and unlock the best sex of our lives. Simple Sex is the book to help you do just that.



"Unlike so many of the "how-to" books on sex out there, Simple Sex doesn't focus on what's wrong with you. It's an invitation to open up, and to explore—to feel your way into and through sex, rather to think yourself out of it. David's refreshing, powerful, and oh-so-simple perspective will get you out of your head, into your body, and into as many beds as you desire. Isn't that the way it's meant to be? Read this book. Put it into practice and experience the kind of sex you've been yearning for." — Brooke Surtees, Coach and CEO at BrookeSurtees.com

Scottish Highlands, 1945. Claire Randall, a former British combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles.

Bravery, Bullies ,& Blowhards: Lessons Learned in a Montana Classroom


"Strengths' book is a clear picture of workplace bullying in academics" ~ Drew Mitchell the Examiner
"... severe examples of workplace bullying and harassment." ~ Steven Hunt, Senior Producer, SDC Video Productions, Ottawa, Canada

"The arc of Bravery, Bullies, & Blowhards: Lessons Learned in a Montana Classroom inspires hope."
Torii Bottomley ~Massachusetts Healthy Workplace Bill
Illustrates the dysfunctional atmosphere in one Montana school district. But, in reality, it could probably be any school district in any state of the union. Every school has its secrets. Every school has its malcontents.

In order to write this book, the author had to take a long journey in search of understanding. Why did the administration react the way they did? What were the underlying problems that led to their strange behavior? What was it about her background and personality that led her to react as she did? At the end of the journey she realized that school safety was paramount. And parents, teachers and taxpayers all need to understand the pervasive atmosphere found in many schools. It was an atmosphere in which petty tyrants often rule.

Those that wish to gain a better understanding of the after-effects of physical or psychological abuse will find this book to be a useful tool. The story is told with candor and honesty and may evoke emotions that are rarely expressed by a target. Sadly, the actions and/or inactions by management are often used to destroy talented and effective employees and many perpetrators remain employed — or promoted. Unfortunately, many will suffer after-effects and will never enter the workplace again. Some will develop PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)—the invisible injury.

Bravery, Bullies, and Blowhards: Lessons Learned in a Montana Classroom attempts to lead the reader to that "aha" moment in which they can first understand and then stop abuse and/or bullying in the workplace.

Written in My Own Heart's Blood: A Novel (Outlander, Book 8)


#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

In her now classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon told the story of Claire Randall, an English ex-combat nurse who walks through a stone circle in the Scottish Highlands in 1946, and disappears . . . into 1743. The story unfolded from there in seven bestselling novels, and CNN has called it "a grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across [centuries]." Now the story continues in Written in My Own Heart's Blood.
 
1778: France declares war on Great Britain, the British army leaves Philadelphia, and George Washington's troops leave Valley Forge in pursuit. At this moment, Jamie Fraser returns from a presumed watery grave to discover that his best friend has married his wife, his illegitimate son has discovered (to his horror) who his father really is, and his beloved nephew, Ian, wants to marry a Quaker. Meanwhile, Jamie's wife, Claire, and his sister, Jenny, are busy picking up the pieces.
 
The Frasers can only be thankful that their daughter Brianna and her family are safe in twentieth-century Scotland. Or not. In fact, Brianna is  searching for her own son, who was kidnapped by a man determined to learn her family's secrets. Her husband, Roger, has ventured into the past in search of the missing boy . . . never suspecting that the object of his quest has not left the present. Now, with Roger out of the way, the kidnapper can focus on his true target: Brianna herself.
 
Written in My Own Heart's Blood is the brilliant next chapter in a masterpiece of the imagination unlike any other.

Praise for Written in My Own Heart's Blood
 
"[Written in My Own Heart's Blood] features all the passion and swashbuckling that fans of this historical fantasy series have come to expect."People
 
"Another breakneck, rip-roaring, oh-so-addictive page-turner from Gabaldon . . . Take a deep breath, jump aboard, and enjoy the ride."Library Journal

"With her Outlander series, Gabaldon . . . successfully [juggles] a sizable and captivating cast of characters; developing thrilling plotlines that borrow equally from adventure, history, and romance; and meticulously integrating a wealth of fascinating period details into the story without slowing down the pace. The result is a sprawling and enthralling saga that is guaranteed to keep readers up long past their bedtimes."Booklist (starred review)

After many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to listen to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever she believed He was saying to her.

Finding Hope


Dr. Charles Hartman didn't need anyone-being a doctor took up most of his time. Besides, he'd learned what all women were after: a doctor husband and his family's money.
But after crashing into his life-and his car-in the hospital parking lot, college student Hope Evans had taken on an unlikely mission: to bring out the "nice guy" in Charles. He'd simply helped her out a bit that day, and suddenly this bright, energetic woman twelve years his junior had befriended him, and wanted to put him on the road to faith.
And usually strong-willed Charles was having the hardest time saying no...
