With marriages falling apart all around us, this timely book can and will work!” –Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People “A breakthrough for the institution of marriage. This should be required reading for every spouse in America.” –David J. Lieberman, Ph.D. New York Times Bestselling Author, Make Peace with Anyone “Deeply rooted in psychology, theology, and the pragmatic realities of day-to-day living, MARRIAGE FITNESS—like the best exercise regi- men—increases stamina, flexibility, and overall well-being.

    TCS: This is for Those Who Despise Exercise Male Speaker: Welcome to The Chalene show. Chalene is a New York Times bestselling author, celebrity fitness trainer and obsessed with helping you live your dream life. Chalene Johnson: This is what we’re going to be talking about. I’m going to help those of you who hate exercise, or know someone, who hates exercise. So if you’re like, “I love exercise”, y’all don’t need to stay, unless you want some ways to help someone in your life who doesn’t love exercise. If you hate exercise, this is for you. Today I’m speaking directly to those of you who don’t love it, but kind of wish you did love exercise. My name is Chalene Johnson, I’m a New York Times bestselling author. I’m the creator of countless exercise DVDs, which is kind of weird that I’m in the Guinness Book of World Records for having done the most exercise videos, but let me just say this. What’s weird about that is that I didn’t always love exercise, and I wouldn’t say like that’s my mission in life is to get everybody to be super fit. My mission in life is to help people just feel better, and be better, and be happier. So exercise, in my opinion, is like the ultimate drug for feeling that. And I think most of you know that we should be exercising, duh, we know, It’s like telling a smoker “do you know you shouldn’t be smoking? Do you know it’s bad for you?” Of course they know it’s bad for them.

  • Twelve Lessons About True-Love
    Twelve Lessons About True-Love By Reid Collier Copyright © 2013 by Larry Reid Collier. All rights reserved including the right of reproduction in whole or in part, and in any form. This book is intended for the person who wants to obtain a better understanding of the principles of true-love. The book includes discussions regarding all forms of love including conditional love (pseudo-love) and unconditional love (true-love). The book is based upon the premise that the meaning, value and purpose of life are founded upon the virtues of true-love. Topics include the ideology of love and its ethereal nature, the philosophy of love, love’s 3’C, love’s top ten attributes, and The Law of Love. Love is like a rainbow, shining all the colors of life upon the Children of Humanity. If you have true-love, then what do you lack? But if you lack true-love, then what do you have? The book is written from the perspective of a spiritualist (versus a religionist) and is based upon three spiritual tenets of belief. God is. God is love. God is perfect love. If the reader finds value from this book, then the reader would probably enjoy other books written by the author. Let us pursue together the Art of Loving and Living. ISBN: 978-1466392588 Love is never an accidental occurrence! Love is the result of a living process associated with an inner personal choice. Love requires birth, nurturing and instructions. What comes first is a mysterious variable. For some people love is born as a result of the loving examples of parental nurturing.
