God Does Not Exist : Joseph C Hirl
I was a poor kid that grew up with nothing in the roughest parts of Boston. No money, no faith and no hope.
My childhood was one full of pain, abuse and darkness…
Abandoned by my father at a young age and left with an abusive mother. All I had were my siblings Jimmy, Denise and Cindi.
As a young adult, I was always hustling, breaking the law and a real hard ass. I was cocky and with a chip on my shoulder a mile wide. I got in trouble, paid my dues.
Got myself straight – I took a chance and started a successful painting business from scratch, with no help from anyone and 100 dollars in my pocket. I got married, had kids of my own. I left my childhood and all the bad memories behind. I was good at leaving things behind, especially things that made me feel bad or reminded me of my childhood. My life was good. I made my life the way it was. The only faith I had was in me, there was no God. I was not a believer. Because how could God stand by and let what had happened to my siblings and I when we were kids happen? How?
Then one stormy July night – Pain, darkness, nothing, I died. Dead, my ticket was punched. For 57 minutes, I was clinically dead. It’s medically unheard of to come back after that long. I am a true fucking miracle in every sense. Everything I thought I knew or believed in was challenged and pushed beyond the limits of what I thought possible. My world completely shifted from what I knew, to what I could never have imagined. I was 48 years old, my life was over, or so it seemed because when I came back, I was literally reborn. Everything changed, my outlook, my faith, everything.
To fully understand what happened that night, you need to understand where I came from. What hell I survived.

The Tree : Thomas Goering
The Tree: A Starting Point for Discussing Death with Children
This book is about a boy and the questions he asks a magical tree about life and death.
The book is intended for parents who want to have a discussion with their child about death – after they get that question one night “What happens when we die?” The book introduces the idea, provides a snapshot of three different opinions, but really focuses on the life aspect, and how amazing it is to be alive.
The secondary purpose of the book is to start the process of unlocking the critical thinker in our kids. The book aims to help children understand the value of gathering information, accepting different opinions, and forming their own conclusions after thinking through a problem. The book offers the premise that it might be OK to be honest with our children and to say “I don’t know”.
I hope this book helps inspire curiosity, and at the very least creates a good conversation with your child.

An Ordinary Life, Extraordinary Spark : J. A. Richards
An Ordinary Life, Extraordinary Spark
Life can be tough, especially with the constant barrage of obligations, news, work, family events. It can be hard to find yourself and God through all the chaos.
J. A. Richards’ memoir, An Ordinary Life, Extraordinary Spark, takes the reader through her spiritual journey and how she found God in the quiet, the mundane, the ordinary.
While the author’s life is seemingly ordinary, her retelling of her dad’s death and its impact on her life shows how God works with and through ordinary people and events to make extraordinary things happen. How many people can say that the post office almost lost their dad? And say that with humor and grace? Only J.A. Richards, and only in this memoir.
Although Richards’ recounts several other life events along the way, including her bumpy at-times faith journey, she also offers some tips and tricks to the reader so they can hopefully learn from her ridiculous (and sometimes painful) mistakes, and she does all of it using a humorous voice with a positive message.
As J.A. Richards mentions, she is just happy if she can create a spark for your own spiritual journey, and she hopes that you can listen for God in the quiet too.
