The concept is the share, by telling a story, lessons learned from a man who - forever in pursuit of the brass ring - almost loses everything he has. Kyle, focused on wealth and his elite bike building company, pursues external measures of success and it's never enough to satisfy him. It is unique in that we see the impact of his choices that he is yet to see, and helps us understand the power of our own interpretations and communication. The story allows us to take the time to look inside ourselves, face our fears, and see how simple adjustments can enhance and/or clarify what is most important to each of us.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS 2018 What was I fighting for? Even now I'm not sure. Something so old and so deep, it has no words, no shape, no logic. Every memoir is a battle between reality and invention - but in her follow up to Clothes, Music, Boys, Viv Albertine has reinvented the genre with her unflinching honesty. To Throw Away Unopened is a fearless dissection of one woman's obsession with the truth - the truth about family, power, and her identity as a rebel and outsider. It is a gaping wound of a book, both an exercise in blood-letting and psychological archaeology, excavating what lies beneath: the fear, the loneliness, the anger. It is a brutal expose of human dysfunctionality, the impossibility of true intimacy, and the damage wrought upon us by secrets and revelations, siblings and parents. Yet it is also a testament to how we can rebuild ourselves and come to face the world again. It is a portrait of the love stories that constitute a life, often bringing as much pain as joy. With the inimitable blend of humour, vulnerability, and intelligence that makes Viv Albertine one of our finest authors working today, To Throw Away Unopened smashes through layers of propriety and leads us into a new place of savage self-discovery.

The joy, humor, and heartbreak of the times, told through a teenager's experience as he grows into a man.
"This book helps children see themselves and others as gifts, explores giving and receiving in love, and shows how the gift of self is made through the body"--
Jack Andrews was an up-and-coming business professional with a bright and promising future. He had a loving wife, a nice home, and unlimited potential, but alcohol stepped in the way, and his world came crashing down around him. His past found him, and he lost everything, nearly giving up on life itself. Then, a spiritual awakening uncovered the faith he didn't know he had. That, along with the hope he clung to from a secret part of his past, set him off on a journey of recovery and discovery, enabling him to teach others how to do the same. The Unopened Box is an inspiration to anyone whose life has been impacted by the devastation of alcoholism. It is a story of tragedy and triumph, eternal love and hope, and a testament to the power of man's faith in God to prevail through even the darkest of times.
In 1971, while in high school, seventeen-year-old Mike Pearce dated Vicki Allen, a fifteen-year-old junior. Just before Christmas of that year, as she broke up with him, she gave him a gift. Angry and heartbroken, he put the gift under the Christmas tree and vowed never to open it. 47 years later, he posts the story of the gift on social media and it goes viral. Even nine months after that post, media stories are still appearing in places as far away as South America and Europe. Through an old high school friend, he reunites with his first love. This is their story.
The Unopened Gift reveals what we have not yet understood about emotions. That emotions aren't in competition with reason, but are an essential part of thinking; that they are constantly giving us information about the world around us.
Ortberg, in his engaging and humorous style, reflects on the biblical story in Matthew 14 and applies it to our lives today. He helps us recognize what boat we're in--the comfortable situation where we're hiding--and encourages us to face our fears and embrace the unique calling of God in our lives.
