In her usual conversational style, Dr. Akanet, through her perspective as a GP (family doctor) and mother to two young children, shares her ups and downs of 2020, while trying to move house. Moving home, particularly when it involves buying or selling a house, has been noted to be one of the three most stressful life events, and doing so during a pandemic would make it even more challenging. 2020 brought with it challenges and changes most of us never expected, taking some of us to almost breaking point. This book will take you through one family’s journey, to discover how they survived such a tough year, and reflect on whether there could really be blessings to count for 2020. Based on true events, with stories about parenting, faith, marriage, patients, estate agents and immigrant perspectives, this book will bring you smiles, tears, inspiration and hope for the days ahead. Book Reviews: “A record of the real-life experiences of one medical family as the novel Coronavirus, emanating from Wuhan in China, slowly embraced the whole world. It is often amusing and sometimes poignant in its detail of her days in the 'new normal' and very surreal world into which we were all suddenly plunged!” - Paul Sheffield “I expected a book about 2020 to be all doom and gloom, but was surprised to find myself laughing out loud at times." - Dr. Anna Nguyen (GP) “Afiniki is not only a talented mother and professional, but an eternal feel-good optimist. If anyone is going to see the good in 2020, it is going to be Afiniki.” - Trish Adudu (BBC presenter) “This book is a very interesting read, and one which I am sure will be of great interest to school students in a couple of generations time” - Margaret Greenway “There’s no doubt that 2020 will live in all of our memories as a year like no other! But what have we learned through it? And what can we take away, moving forward? Have a read of one reflection of not only what was lost this year, but also what was gained.” - Diane Rickard

It is integral to well-being, enabling people to realise their full potential, show resilience amidst adversity, be productive across the various settings of daily life, form meaningful relationships and contribute to their communities. Physical, psychological, social, cultural, spiritual and other interrelated factors contribute to mental health, and there are inseparable links between mental and physical health.” - World Health Organisation "A supremely practical and useful book. Original, palatable, and honest advice based on lived experiences, by a trained professional" - Arup Roy, Lead Surface Design Engineer “Niki writes in a lovely conversational style that makes it sound like a conversation with a friend. The book offers insight into the worldview of the author and how it shapes even the smallest decisions and experiences in her life. It challenges the reader to view life from a different perspective and encourages reflection on what is important. It is hopeful and encouraging in its tone. Power and Praise is worth a read.” - Zainab Oseni, General Practitioner (GP) with a special interest in global health “In this book, Niki gives so many anecdotes of situations/problems she has encountered in her life, followed by extremely helpful suggestions of how she overcame them…Niki is such a prolific writer that once you start reading this or any of her other books they are hard to put down until you reach the end. I highly recommend this book.” - Margaret Greenway, Retired administrator
In 2008, Pastor Craig Goodwin and his young family embarked on a year-long experiment to consume only what was local, used, homegrown, or homemade. In Year of Plenty, Goodwin shares the winsome story of how an average suburban family stumbled onto the cultural cutting edge of locavores, backyard chickens, farmers markets, simple living, and going green. More than that, it is the timely tale of Christians exploring the intersections of faith, environment, and everyday life.This humorous yet profound book comes at just the right time for North American Christians, who are eager to engage the growing interest in the environmental movement and the quandaries of modern consumer culture. It speaks also to the growing legions of the "spiritual but not religious" who long for ways to connect heaven and earth in their daily lives.Contents Adobe Acrobat DocumentForeword Adobe Acrobat DocumentChapter 1 Adobe Acrobat DocumentSamples require Adobe Acrobat ReaderHaving trouble downloading and viewing PDF samples?"Craig Goodwin invites us into a life of paying attention. This is an experiment in God's ordinary: life centered in relationship, lived in a physical world of spiritual meaning, and expressed in daily acts of attentiveness that are unhooked from patterns that degrade us and imperil the world. It turns out to be a wonderful and complicating adventure. Free from grandiosity, sentimentality, or ideology, this book tells its story with captivating humanity and motivating honesty."-Mark LabbertonDirector, Ogilvie Institute for PreachingFuller Theological SeminaryAuthor of The Dangerous Act of Worship"As someone who had gotten good at resisting grumpy calls to reject our consumerist culture, I found this book delightfully refreshing and compelling. Craig Goodwin describes an experiment in 'familial art'-a creative effort to seek out new and very practical experiments living as more faithful stewardship of the earth's resources. I haven't started raising chickens or making homemade butter (yet!) after reading this wonderful book-but I have learned some profound lessons."-Richard J. MouwPresident and Professor of Christian PhilosophyFuller Theological Seminary"Many clergy and other church leaders ask for examples of how and where missional work is actually taking place. Here is a leader faithfully engaging this work in a practical, local, on-the-ground way that leads to new expressions of church in mission. This is the kind of story about a church-in-process we need to hear."-Alan J. RoxburghFounder of the Missional NetworkAuthor of The Missional LeaderAdjunct Professor at Fuller Theological Seminary"I heartily recommend Goodwin's charming, thoughtful, and extremely funny book. With remarkable insight and refreshing humility, Craig Goodwin takes us with him and his family as they learn who and what is behind the things we so often thoughtlessly purchase. Goodwin reminds us how much of community and life we have sacrificed in the name of convenience and low price. Through engaging narrative he skillfully integrates lessons on faith, life, and God, integrating the spiritual with the material and the local with the global. This is an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about our role as Christians in taking care of and enjoying God's creation."-Scott SabinExecutive Director, Plant With PurposeAuthor of Tending to Eden: Environmental Stewardship for God's PeopleReview in Eco-Journey
