Walk in the Spirit #author Everald Compton
Jun 900:12:39Tap to summarizeWalk in the Spirit: A page turning novel of people who walk with the ManDrawing on a lifetime of experience, Everald Compton AO and Neill Florence offer a novel grounded in compassion, humility, and the belief that our capacity to do good is not measured by religion or doctrine, but by how we treat one another and contribute to our communities.Set in contemporary Australiam the novel follows people from different walks of life as they navigate belief, doubt, interfaith friendship, and service — a true reflection of Australia's proud multicultural society. It asks poignant questions about religion beyond fear and punishment, and about how spiritual values can be lived honestly in a modern world for the benefit of our shared culture.This is not a sermon, not a conventional thriller. It is a calm, generous novel that invites reflection and conversation — particularly for readers questioning institutional religion while still seeking meaning, purpose, and connection.Walk in the Spirit is a story of our time, shaped by nearlu two hundred years of lived experience, and guided by the enduring conviction that a more compassionate world begins with how we choose to walk with others.To connect with Everald ....https://everaldcompton.com/https://everaldcompton.com/shop/

She Who Remembers #author Megan Dalla-Camina
Jun 700:09:46Tap to summarizeShe Who Remembers: Awakening feminine wisdom in a world ready for her returnMore than the burnout, the endless striving, the quiet ache of disconnection. More than the roles she’s performed, the versions of herself she’s outgrown, the world that taught her she wasn’t enough.In this tender and timely book, best-selling author, PhD researcher, and feminine wisdom teacher Megan Dalla-Camina guides readers on a profound journey of remembrance. Drawing from decades of leadership work, personal spiritual practice, and academic research in women’s spirituality, she invites us to awaken the inner knowing that has never been lost – only forgotten.Blending soulful storytelling, cultural reflection, and spiritual insight, She Who Remembers offers a path to reclaim what has always belonged to us: our voice, our power, our truth. Through feminine codes of intuition, embodiment, devotion, presence, and the rhythm of our cycles and seasons, readers are gently guided back to the source of their own innate wisdom. This is not a book of instruction. It’s a book of awakening and initiation. One that reminds us we were never meant to do this alone. That remembering is a collective act.To connect with Megan .....https://megandallacamina.com/she-who-remembers-book/https://www.instagram.com/megandallacamina/https://www.linkedin.com/in/megandallacamina/

ROW Your Business to Health #author Elizabeth Blackley
Jun 600:08:54Tap to summarizeHealthy people; healthy outcomes.While employment is essential for survival today, it rarely holds the highest honour in our priorities, and the traditional notion of work-life balance oversimplifies a much more complex reality. We need to move beyond the industrial-era model that shaped our current systems and begin designing work cultures based on what we know supports, and what hinders, human performance.This book invites readers to reconsider how the experience of work is formed - from the rhythms influencing daily life to the environments that affect behaviour, energy, and clarity. Grounded in behavioural science and systems thinking, it explores the impact of building workplaces around the conditions in which people genuinely thrive.A Return on Wellness (ROW) occurs when investment in people strengthens clarity, energy, and psychological safety; these are the drivers of resilience and consistent performance. Organisations that cultivate these conditions gain steadier results, stronger engagement, and cultures able to meet complexity with confidence.For those reimagining the future of work, this is an offering of practical and human insights that align culture, environment, and performance. When applied deliberately, the business can leverage their ROW and sow sustainable results.Let's build businesses where people and performance thrive together.To connect with Eliabeth ....https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabeth-blackley/

The Parenting Paradox #author Dr Jenny Brown
Jun 600:13:47Tap to summarizeThe Parenting Paradox: Loving Our Children by Giving Them Space to GrowMany devoted parents instinctively step in to protect and guide their children yet struggle knowing when to step back. While "helicopter parenting" is widely discouraged, parents are often left without clear, practical alternatives.In The Parenting Paradox: Loving Our Children by Giving Them Space to Grow, Dr. Jenny Brown offers a new perspective--not about loving less, but about shifting the anxious energy that often comes with deep parental care to a more constructive type of love. Dr. Brown sheds light on the cultural forces shaping today's intensive parenting, revealing how well-meaning advice can often undermine a parent's growth and confidence. Through real-life experiences and professional insights, she challenges the message that constant intervention is necessary for a child to flourish and instead provides a thoughtful, lasting approach to fostering independence.Rather than offering a quick fix or the latest parenting trend, The Parenting Paradox provides a sustainable path forward. Dr. Brown helps parents navigate their own fears while giving their children space to build confidence and resilience. And in creating that space, parents also grow, gaining clarity in their role so they can become the loving leaders they aspire to be.To connect with Jenny ...https://parenthopeproject.com.au/the-parenting-paradox-new-book-2026-bloomsbury/https://parenthopeproject.com.au/parent-resources/https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-parent-hope-project/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-brown-phd/

And in the dark heart of her memories, she discovers that there is an answer.A powerful meditation on nature and healing, How to Love the World finds hope where none seems possible.To connect with Ilka ...https://www.ilkatampke.com/https://www.ilkatampke.com/bookshttps://www.instagram.com/ilkatampke/
