Book Pick of the Week: Coming Back to Life

Millions of Americans are self-medicating, suffering from mental health diagnoses, and are not getting the support that they need to function, heal and lead healthy lives, says author and certified emotional healing and relationship coach Rebeccah Silence.

Silence understands the struggles of emotional pain well. A survivor of cancer while pregnant, childhood sexual abuse and domestic abuse, she has known enormous suffering, but she learned to defeat her emotional pain to live free and happy.

Silence has taught clients worldwide on topics such as how to understand that past pain impacts the present, how to liberate yourself from those wounds, and how to connect to your own inner healer to create a life where you not only survive, but also thrive.

Now in her new book, Coming Back to Life: A Roadmap to Healing from Pain to Create the Life You Want, Silence helps readers create an opening to possibility. She provides tools, strategies and support that will allow readers to get to the root of their pain patterns while also receiving hope, encouragement and access to the light at the end of the dark tunnel they may find themselves in.

“What the world desperately needs now more than ever before is a way to navigate trauma and difficult emotions,” said Silence. "How you feel is 100 percent based on how healed your past is. There really is life on the other side of whatever darkness people are facing, and this book offers hope, healing, and a roadmap that is guaranteed to empower and encourage readers to take their lives back from an emotionally clear, neutral and grounded space. You’ll never have to feel powerless again, and that is a promise,” Silence added.  

Readers will learn how to:

- Emotionally heal and process through anxiety, depression and past trauma, and re-commit to living a fulfilling life.

- Break free from generational pain patterns to become the most authentic and happy versions of themselves.

- Be the source of their own encouragement, take control over their lives and never feel powerless again.

“Coming Back to Life is the book that the world needs in this moment. It will illuminate what has been invisibly holding you back and give you a clear path to feeling good and getting what you want,” said Stephen Lovegrove, America’s Life Coach.

Kindle Pick of the Week: Fulfilling the Dream: My Path to Leadership and Finding Purpose in Serving Others

Fulfilling the Dream: My Path to Leadership and Finding Purpose in Serving Others is an honest, eye-opening, and inspiring book about setting aside personal ego and ignoring racial and political bias to bless and benefit others. Wayman Britt's story is a tale of believing one's dreams, realizing them and then dedicating his life to helping others imagine and achieve better lives.

In this insightful read, Britt candidly shares his personal account of growing up poor during the Jim Crow era of racial discrimination, and the hard work, determination and faith in God that propelled him through challenges, disappointments, and setbacks to achieve success in life. He takes readers through his quest to open the American Dream to people long excluded and relates lessons and experiences of competing at the highest levels in athletics, corporate culture, government, and politics that are especially relevant to our own lives and the most sensitive cultural issues of our times.

The compelling account of growing up poor and later finding his life mission as a leader in business and government will inspire the reader to achieve personal success while having a positive impact on others. Being successful and living a passionate life of service sounds counterintuitive--Britt's story proves it is not. His story proves nice guys not only don't have to finish last, but they can also finish first.

This book will benefit several important audiences with the common denominator of interest in true accounts of living the Black experience and overcoming obstacles to get the most out of their potential.

Book Pick of the Week: A Needle in a Haystack: How to Find Love in the Rubble

Lifetime romance doesn’t just happen; you must first know yourself and do the self-work before you can find your needle in a haystack, says Pastor Jameliah Gooden. Based on her own experiences with finding her soulmate, Gooden’s book, A Needle in a Haystack: How to Find Love in the Rubble, guides readers toward finding and recognizing love, and is perfect for anyone looking for their ideal partner.

Following her first bestselling book, The Death of the Angry Black Woman, which details how Gooden worked to rid herself of anger and negative stereotypes, this second bestseller continues the journey of self-improvement as readers gain firsthand knowledge for navigating the dating world. Gooden encourages people to break away from the enormous pressures of modern dating and find playfulness in their social lives.

“We should be putting ourselves out there and just having fun,” says Gooden. “There shouldn’t be any forced end goal or expectation. That’s how you find your needle.”

Searching for love in today’s society can be a daunting task, especially with dating apps and blind dates, because these scenarios come with preconceived notions and a fear of unmet expectations. Gooden suggests that dating is much easier if you are true to yourself and who you are. Societal notions and definitions about dating are to blame: they add too much pressure instead of allowing freedom for personal acceptance and growth. Gooden advises that readers stop presenting themselves as perfect and start showing the world who they truly are.

“That’s the beauty of a ruby,” Gooden says. “It understands its value. It doesn’t have to work to be beautiful. It just is, and it doesn’t have to do anything to convince anyone of that.”

As a social media celebrity and pastor, Gooden has a proven ability to guide and lead others. She finds joy in sharing her personal story and inspires others to find their own. Gooden hopes A Needle in a Haystack will help individuals to find their perfect mates and form real and lasting partnerships.

Identity struggles and failed relationships can be difficult topics, but Gooden faces these obstacles with candor and transparency. She knows how a bad relationship can hinder people from going forward and trying again, and hopes her work will help all readers find themselves, so they can experience the healing that self-actualization offers.

Gooden says, “Finding your needle should be fun, not something to fear. Just relax and be yourself. Call it ‘fellowshipping’ because when you set expectations, you can end up hiding the truth to conform to what you think someone else wants.”
