A revolutionary system to get one per cent better every day. People think when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions – doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits.

No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving - every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

"Who am I?", "What is my purpose?", and "What should I do with my life?" are questions that all of us find ourselves asking at some point or another.

In every church, ministry, or workforce, there are servants that work with diligence and compassion in the background. They are the dedicated workers that unlock the doors before anyone pulls into the parking lot. They are the ones that stay behind to clean up the messes made throughout the day. They are the ones we’ve seen countless times, but hardly ever acknowledge. They are the Unseen Servants, the Levites of our time. In A Psalm for Unseen Servants, Hance Dilbeck provides a resource that not only acknowledges the ministry of these dedicated workers, but thanks them for what they have done

Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most beloved works.

Am I seriously about to get sacrificed by the hottest girls I’ve ever seen?

One day, I’m just trying to make ends meet as a security guard at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC. Then I happened upon a mysterious pocket watch and ended up in the year 1814. Time traveling takes a little getting used to, but it definitely helped that I found a pretty blonde woman to help me navigate 19th century DC. And when I discovered I could take things from the past and bring them to the future, a very lucrative idea took root in my brain…
