Approval Junkie

My Heartfelt (and Occasionally Inappropriate) Quest to Please Just About Everyone, and Ultimately Myself

By: Faith Salie

From comedian and journalist Faith Salie, of NPR's Wait Wait…Don't Tell Me! and CBS News Sunday Morning, a collection of daring, funny essays chronicling the author's adventures during her lifelong quest for approval Faith Salie has done it all in the name of validation. Whether she’s trying to impress her parents with a perfect GPA, undergoing an exorcism to save her toxic marriage, or baking a 3D excavator cake for her son’s birthday, Salie is the ultimate approval seeker—an “approval junkie,” if you will. In this collection of daring, honest essays, Salie shares stories from her lifelong quest for gold stars, recounting her strategy for winning (very Southern) high school beauty pageant; her struggle to pick the perfect outfit to wear to her divorce; and her difficulty falling in love again, and then conceiving, in the years following her mother’s death. With thoughtful irreverence, Salie reflects on why she tries so hard to please others, and herself, highlighting a phenomenon that many people—especially women—experience at home and in the workplace. Equal parts laugh-out loud funny and poignant, Approval Junkie is one woman’s journey to realizing that seeking approval from others is more than just getting them to like you—it's challenging yourself to achieve, and survive, more than you ever thought you could.

Life

Light and Dark Joy and Anguish

By: Sister Mary Faith

When loving God, it is possible to move beyond the hope of a good outcome. In doing so, we begin to firmly believe that our destiny is God and heaven. In a compilation of Christian reflections and meditations accompanied by illustrations, Sister Mary Faith explores a variety of spiritual topics that include biblical references to light and dark in holy scripture, the annunciation, and the agony in the garden to gently remind all followers of the Lord that he is all-good, all-loving, and all-merciful, that each of us is responsible for making a conscious decision to follow him to enter bliss, and that in his eyes, we are all equally one of his children. Life: Light and Dark shares lyrical reflections and meditations that lead Christians on a journey inward to explore their faith in God while embracing his grace and steadfast love.

One Sister of Faith Packing Up

By: One Sister oF Faith

ONE SISTER OF FAITH PACKING UP" a book of Christian short stories and poems that Iwas inspired to writewhile going through a storm of trials and tribulations.While writing down some of my thoughts and personal experiences, I began to see myself in the storm, andalso my lack of faith.I could see were my trust in God had grown, thank God I knew to call apon him. Yet I still did not have the faith that I needed to walk away from being bound, trusting and believing that the same God who kept meduring those storms,is the same God able to keep me through all the storms in my life. I thank God for inspiring me to write at an early age. I thank him for the bells that woke me up in the early hours of the morning, so that I would read his word.I thank him because he had plans for my life and I am so glad that God never fails.
