David Toop is an English author whose work delves into sound culture and improvisation. His writing explores the profound connection between sound, music, and the human experience, often blurring the lines between criticism, history, and personal reflection. Toop's approach is characterized by its interdisciplinarity and his ability to link seemingly disparate concepts and musical genres. His work challenges readers to consider how we perceive and interpret the sounds that surround us.
Designed for both Christians seeking God's view on recovery and non-Christians seeking God and answers to recover, a Bible based on the twelve-step recovery model leads individuals to the source of true healing--God.
As a complement to The Life Recovery Bible (more than 800,000 copies sold), The Life Recovery Workbook leads the recovering addict into reflection and practical application. By placing the 12 steps of recovery into a firm biblical context, the workbook brings scriptural principles into personal focus. Contemporary "Recovery Profiles," expanded descriptions of each of the 12 steps, and open-ended questions work in unison with The Life Recovery Bible. Far more than just teaching about the 12 steps, the workbook is a guide to an in-depth working of the steps, making the principles of recovery come alive for "one day at a time" living.
When most parenting books were written decades ago, they did not address—nor could they address—all the issues parents would face today in the era of technology and excess. Parents do not need another article that contradicts the last one they read; rather, they need insights, techniques, and strategies to tackle the issues of twenty-first-century parenting. That’s what the Understanding and Loving Your Child series of books will do.Understanding and Loving Your Child with ADHD will guide parents with methods they can use to help children who suffer from ADHD build character and competence rather than conflict, failure, shame, or disconnection.
Each day provides opportunities for us to renew our focus on God. When we center our lives on him, we worship him, not only with our words and deeds, but also with our prayers.

The ideas in this book are also intended to remind you of the eternalpromises found in God's holy word.

And while you're at it, keep searching for perspective and wisdom--starting with God's wisdom. This book will help you discover the comfort, the power,and the peace that only he can give.
