My Father Will Kill Me, My Mother Will Die: Seeds of Shame - Harvest of Hope by Joan Boydell
A story stays with you for a long time. After a three-part lecture is forgotten and the list of principles and practical applications have faded, an interesting story is still planted in your mind. Not every story needs to be told, but stories help to inform who we become and what we do.
The stories that form the content of this book are partly the offspring of my own personal story. Some stories go back further to my own school days, years teaching school and raising a family, living and working in a community group home setting, and counseling in private practice. Although most of them are more than two decades old, I am telling them now because they still have relatable value and may provide hope and inspiration to those who help others and those who are reaching out for hope. Like fine wine, the value of history is only appreciated after a season of fermentation.

The Unexhausted Leader by Lisa Hosler
The Unexhausted Leader uses Scripture, stories, and practical examples to convey the revolutionary paradigm of the “productive pause.” Leaders glean everyday strategies to pause, engage God with their teams, and experience His version of productivity.
In the fast-paced world of a leader’s life, there is barely time to breathe, much less finish a To Do list or dream about future initiatives. No wonder leaders regularly experience exhaustion and burnout. In this ground-breaking book, Lisa Hosler shares how God helped her off the treadmill of busyness and onto a pathway of restfulness—keeping pace with God. Running when He runs, resting when He rests.
​
As you read this book, you will no doubt relate. You will learn how God Himself rested while working, and how He designed a culture of restful productivity for us.
​
You will experience His heart that yearns to fellowship with leaders and their teams: bringing refreshment, bringing them closer to Himself and one another, sharing His wisdom and strategies, and enabling them to advance their mission together.
