New Releases by Andrea Williams

She Is Visible is a prophetic, poetic journey for every woman who has felt erased or too much. Through seven sacred archetypes and spiritual reflections, Dr. Andrea Williams guides readers to reclaim their voice, worth, and divine fire. This is not just a book-it''s a sacred return to the self you were never meant to hide.

When we view our lives in light of the Bible, we often interpret God''s Word as aligning with what we believe is the right plan of action for our lives. Unfortunately, when the circumstances don''t go as we had hoped or planned, we may ask why and question whether God truly loves and cares for us. A revelation about how we mix our earthly understanding of God''s Word with that of spiritual understanding is what led author Andrea Williams to study and write the book in your hands, Lean Not Unto Your Own Understanding...Rightly Dividing God''s Word. Andrea witness from personal experience how our interpretations of the Bible can conflict with what is truly God''s intention for our lives, making us rely more on ourselves than the Father in heaven who loves us. Combined with an attitude of prayer, Andrea shows readers that several aspects of our lives (trust, forgiveness, who we listen to for understanding) can be shaped by our fleshy, sinful nature instead of with spiritual understanding from God. Lean Not Unto Your Own Understanding...Rightly Dividing God''s Word is to not only be helpful to non-believers and those new in the faith but also to seasoned believers in need of a reminder of trusting God instead of ourselves for the outcomes of our lives. The hope is that readers will feel compelled more than ever to dive into the Bible to help establish and/or strengthen their relationship with God. For if we "rightly divide" God''s Word, that means we are handling it appropriately to where God can tell us how best to cope and move forward in the situations of life. If we remember that God is for us and not against us, trusting His way can become our only course of action.

From Andrea Williams, the bestselling author of We Are Family with LeBron James, comes Inside the Park, the story of a young baseball fan’s misadventures after getting locked inside a pro baseball stadium on the eve of the biggest game of the season. In this all-new, hilarious, action-packed middle grade tale, Timothy “Pumpsie” Strickland, a baseball-loving twelve-year-old, is about to step up to the plate for the biggest swing of his life. Pumpsie needs a win. Or to be more precise, he needs the Nashville Wildcats to win. Pumpsie’s been waiting his entire life—twelve whole years!—for his favorite team to make it to the playoffs. And this year—finally!—they’re just one win away. But when Pumpsie accidentally gets trapped in Lookout Field the night before the last game of the season, with only a lost dog named Campy for company, he may have accidentally stumbled into the best night of his life. For a baseball fan like Pumpsie, using the pro batting cages, running the bases, playing with the public address system, eating all the concession-stand junk food he can find is a dream come true . . . until he realizes he’s not alone in the stadium. Foul plots are brewing beneath Lookout Field, and now it’s on Pumpsie to swallow his fears, gum up his courage, and swing for the fences if he wants to save the Wildcats’ postseason chances. Inside the Park is a fun-filled, action-packed slice of wish fulfillment that’s perfect for fans of Mike Lupica and Tim Green or any kid who’s ever closed their eyes and imagined stepping up to the plate with the game tied and the season on the line.

Annie and Kimmy''s friendship is one of a kind. From the moment they met, Kimmy saw Annie for who she truly was - a kind, funny, and brave girl. Even though Annie wore hearing aids, Kimmy never let that stop her from being the best friend Annie could ever have. Together, they laughed, supported each other, and proved that true friendship knows no limits. This is a heartwarming story, based on real-life events, and shows how love and understanding can break down barriers and create bonds that last a lifetime.

HIV-related stigma remains a substantial barrier to enhancing access to prevention, testing, and treatment, thereby perpetuating health disparities. Faith-based organizations, which serve as integral components of many Southern communities, possess the capacity to function as influential platforms for addressing this stigma and are pivotal allies in the Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative. These environments, encompassing churches and health clinics, have the potential to cultivate supportive atmospheres for individuals living with HIV (PLWH) and to contribute to stigma reduction initiatives actively. A significant challenge in these efforts lies in the pressing need for more effective measurement tools to assess HIV-related stigma, particularly within faith-based communities. Current stigma measurement scales frequently fail to capture the nuanced lived experiences of people living with HIV (PLWH), often neglecting essential constructs such as internalized stigma. This dissertation presents a multi-study analysis designed to evaluate and enhance the efficacy of stigma measurement tools. The first study encompasses a systematic review that identifies critical gaps in existing scales, underscoring their limitations in addressing the complexity of stigma within faith-based contexts. The second study involves a secondary data analysis that juxtaposes quantitative measures, such as the Berger HIV Stigma Scale and the Wright Stigma Scale, against qualitative insights derived from the Snap Out Stigma Photovoice project. This mixed-methods approach elucidates that existing scales frequently overlook deeper, unmeasured dimensions of stigma, particularly in Black individuals living with HIV. The third study emphasizes the necessity of incorporating the perspectives of people living with HIV (PLWH) into the development of stigma scales, ensuring that these instruments accurately reflect the complex nature of stigma in faith-based settings. Findings indicate that comprehensive community engagement and inclusivity in the design and implementation of HIV stigma scale assessments are imperative for identifying internalized stigma. This research highlights the need for culturally sensitive, community-informed stigma reduction strategies that specifically address internalized stigma concerning age, identity, and religiosity. By refining stigma measurement tools and crafting inclusive interventions, public health endeavors can better align with the lived experiences of PLWH, thereby advancing the objectives of the EHE initiative and enhancing health outcomes within faith-based populations.

God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], A very present and well-proved help in TROUBLE. -Psalm 46:1 * * *Many verses in the Bible admonish us to put our trust in God!However, only a few reveal who God will trust. God seems to trust some with wealth, fame, power, and position, but He only trusts a select few with actual TROUBLE. This paradox is illustrated in the book of Job, as God essentially hands Job over to the adversary.Although there were certain restrictions, Satan was given complete access to Job, his household, his health, and his entire environment! We are well aware that Job was reinstated as soon as everything was addressed. Can we survive that valley, that fire, that illness, and that death? That monetary predicament; that separation; that betrayal? Can God trust you?This handbook will assist you in responding to the TROUBLE that will come your way. I invite you to prayerfully read through the daily focus while recalling Job''s encounters. The book of Job was not about Job''s faith in God, but about God''s faith in Job. If God can trust you, He will repay you double for your TROUBLE.- Pastor Sam Emory Apostolic Tabernacle, Merced, CA "Where God is REAL" Everyone remembers their favorite HIDE-and-SEEK moments. This is a deceptive game with little actual danger. This included the thrill of scurrying into shadowy corners, hiding beneath the bed, or squeezing into tight quarters. We felt like we had superpowers, especially when hidden in plain sight. We would often transform into still statues, holding our breath and trying hard not to make even the slightest motion. Then, as life unfolds, the game loses its luster, and we are confronted with the truth that TROUBLE constantly pursues us. We try to dodge TROUBLE while we naturally search for that elusive hiding place. Our rude awakening comes when TROUBLE either catches up with us or catches us completely off guard. You will have this devotional handbook with you as a tool to build you up during your tribulations. ...

O PRIMEIRO PASSO PARA VENCER É ENTRAR NO JOGO. Jayden passou o verão inteiro treinando para fazer parte do Bando da Bola, o programa extracurricular de basquete que já formou grandes estrelas do esporte, como seu ídolo, Kendrick King. Quando o amado treinador informa que o time foi encerrado, Jayden fica de coração partido. E não é o único. Filha do treinador Beck, Tamika estava planejando ser a primeira garota a fazer parte do grupo. Chris King, sobrinho de Kendrick, passou as férias anunciando que o tio estava voltando à cidade apenas para vê-lo jogar. Para Anthony, o Bando da Bola era uma forma de se manter longe de problemas. E para o baixinho Dex, o Bando era uma chance de finalmente fazer parte de um time, em vez de só assistir das arquibancadas. Para cada um deles, o Bando da Bola era mais do que uma chance de jogar basquete: era uma saída, um sonho, uma família. Agora tudo isso parece impossível... mas eles se recusam a desistir. Determinados, os cinco vão lutar, insistir e jogar duro para salvar a temporada e provar a todos que só precisam de uma chance. Criado pelo craque do basquete LeBron James e pela aclamada autora Andrea Williams, Somos uma família é uma história original e inspiradora que aborda diversos temas e desafios que muitos jovens enfrentam, como problemas familiares, busca por oportunidades e o impacto positivo do esporte.

If you loved Zo Williams'' Relationship Dismount book, you would indeed love his new book with Co-Author Andrea Williams The Holographic Relationship. I invite you to order your copy of Zo Williams''s forthcoming book, and follow up to his critically acclaimed relationship workbook, "The Relationship Dismount." What is the holographic principle, and how can we use it to bring clarity to our intimate relationships? What does it mean to relate holographically? Are holograms two-dimensional storage units for three-dimensional human experiences? Is relationship information/history/memory/experiences, whether they be joyful or Traumatic stored in our minds, bodies, souls, or all of the above? All of these questions and more will be engaged in Zo Williams'' new book the holographic relationship. Modern day scientists have come to the mathematically sound understanding that not only can energy never be destroyed but neither can information!"Now, if don''t you know anything about holograms, or the creation of a hologram, it involves lasers that interfere with each other, holographic film, mirrors, and an object.[5] Holograms are a technique for creating/recording three-dimensional images on a two-dimensional surface. For example, a laser hits an apple and interferes with another laser which hits a mirror and then hits the holographic film. Once the laser hits the holographic film, the entire image of the Apple is now encoded onto the film.[5] Even more amazing, when you consider the miracle of technology is happening here, is that when you cut this film into pieces, every individual piece will contain the image of the apple.[5] Just as the whole picture appears throughout the holographic film, what I''m suggesting is that our relationships, which I surmise to be holographic in nature, behave in the same way. You can''t compartmentalize trauma, neglect, and an unforgiving attitude--these things cannot so easily be banished to some remote, obscure place inside yourself.

Kids have big dreams. And when those dreams are on the line, how far are they willing to go to achieve them? When Jayden and his teammates find out there’s not going to be a Hoop Group this year—and maybe ever again—they have to learn to lean on each other if they want to save their basketball season, in this inspiring new middle grade novel from NBA superstar LeBron James and acclaimed author Andrea Williams. A New York Times bestseller! Jayden Carr has been training all summer to be ready for Hoop Group—the free afterschool basketball program where his hero, NBA superstar Kendrick King, got his start. But when his beloved coach tells him there’s not going to be a Hoop Group this year, Jayden is heartbroken. And he’s not the only one. Coach Beck’s daughter, Tamika, was planning to be the first girl ever to start for the squad. Chris King, Kendrick’s only nephew, spent the summer bragging that his uncle was coming home just to watch him play. For Anthony Pierson, Hoop Group was supposed to be his way out of trouble. And for Dexter Donyel, all 4’6” of him, Hoop Group was his chance to finally be part of a team, instead of just watching from the stands. For each kid, Hoop Group was more than just a chance to ball; it was an escape, a dream, a family. Now their prospects seem all but impossible—but then the world hasn’t met Jayden, Tamika, Chris, Anthony, and Dex before. Determined to have their shot, the five new friends scrap, hustle, fight, and play hard to save their season to prove that sometimes a chance is all it takes. It’s an inspiring, original middle grade story from NBA superstar LeBron James and acclaimed author Andrea Williams that channels the many relatable challenges so many young kids face. The first step to winning is getting out on the court.

Working in the nonprofit sector means you have a direct impact on people''s lives and on their communities. The work you do matters, and it can be incredibly rewarding -- but with long hours, demanding workloads, and often strenuous budgetary concerns, it can be easy to find yourself and your team experiencing nonprofit burnout for the sake of the mission. The truth is, you can''t give what you don''t have -- whether that''s time, energy, or attention. And if the goal is to help others, avoiding nonprofit burnout is critical.

In this webinar, you''ll learn all about avoiding nonprofit burnout: -The reasons behind why those of us in the sector can inadvertently drift towards burnout -Why collective resilience strengthens individual resilience, and vice versa -Ways to commit to reasonable and replicable individual and team recharge tactics -Specific behaviors to stop doing - and things to start doing - to help you and your colleagues avoid nonprofit burnout and "burn brighter" instead.
