The modern parallel tales swap the busy alleyways of old Baghdad for the horror of Saddam's prisons, move from following caravans sweeping across the Sahara to modern day pilgrims trekking along the Caminos of northern Spain, and lift Aladdin out of his cave to unwittingly face Triad gangsters and antiques smugglers. Wayward Baptist ministers, adulterous accountants, and eco-warrior backpackers follow in the footsteps of the no-less colorful characters than those that feature in the original tales. The result is a gripping collection of tales that may continue to bring the mystery and magic of the Nights to life.

If you have a ridiculous imagination like I do, you might like to really run with this and have fun.

Think of how you'd be at work, at home, with those you love and those you don't. Think of all the things you'd do differently. Imagine yourself saying and thinking all those things, now, in detail. Now, this is the important thing: You can feel this way right now. Yup. You can feel brave and confident and full of a sense of your own self-esteem right now, just as you are. What's your reaction to that? If you're like most people, it's something along the lines of "psssh, yeah right!" While everyone can agree that it's great to have self-confidence, we generally imagine it's only reserved for those special people who've earned it and that we'll get there someday. But why not right now? The 21-Day Self-Confidence Challenge will help you to: Become the best version of yourself Stop being so dependent on what others might think Gently push yourself outside your comfort zone and realize that that's indeed where the magic happens!

Lord Deliver Me from Negative Health Talk: A Guide to Speaking Healing Words of Faith
Summary
When you talk to yourself about your health condition, what do you say? Are you negative? Do you say only what the doctor has diagnosed? Do you allow others to speak negatively in your presence? Or do you say what God says? This book defines the most powerful healing principles in scripture and encourages you to stop negative self-talk, control your thinking, and declare healing over your body regardless of your current health condition or medical diagnosis. The positive self-talk guides will help affirm God's will for victory in the area of healing emotionally, physically, mentally, financially, and spiritually. Daily devotionals will reinforce your faith. And as you begin to meditate and confess the word, your thoughts, words, outlook, and expectations will change for the better. You will find victory and healing in the name of Jesus. Trust God, and mediate on his word. The enemy likes to keep illness and perceived limitations in front of us at all times. He wants to rub sickness and disease in our faces so that we lose faith and hope in healing. Don't talk yourself out of your healing. Today, declare, "By Jesus' stripes, I am healed and made whole." And don't let anyone talk you out of it. The victory is yours in healing - whether it's emotional, physical, or psychological. This is the third book of the By Faith I Declare series. For your spiritual growth, listen to the companion books in this series: Deliver Me from Negative Self Talk: Faithful Words to Say When You Talk to Yourself and Positive Self Talk for Emotional Peace: Set Boundaries and Take Back Control of Your Life.

Mindfulness: The 21-Day Mindfulness Challenge
Summary
Mindfulness for beginners: a simple, step-by-step guide to living in the present moment and creating more calm, joy and focus in your life. The 21-Day Mindfulness Challenge, the eight book in the 21-Day Challenge series! Are you tired of living on autopilot? Tired of letting your thoughts, feelings and reactions dominate you? Are you curious about how mindfulness can make a difference in your life? The present moment is a strange place. We are all trapped here, really, and there is utterly no other place to be, yet so few of us take a moment to stop and have a look around. The future and the past all exist in the mind. They are only ever memories, dreams, little flickers in the electrified meat we generously call our brains. The only thing that is real is the moment that is happening right now. To get to know the present, all you have to do is be aware. But try to become aware of the simple things around you - the sound of the birds in the trees, the smell of your coffee brewing - and you'll probably notice instantly that there is something preventing you from immersing yourself fully: your thought traffic. If you've ever tried to make a fancy dinner with a bored two year old in your presence, or tried not to think of a pink elephant (try it right now!) then you'll know the feeling. This is where mindfulness practice comes in. The 21-Day Mindfulness Challenge will help you to: Increase your awareness and live more in the present moment Get a deep understanding of what mindfulness really is and how it can improve your life Let go of excessive worrying, stress and the continuous stream of thoughts Find your own mindfulness style Develop an effortless daily mindfulness practice ..and much more inside! Learn how to practice mindfulness and create more calm, joy and focus in your life TODAY! Are you ready to take the challenge?

The 21-Day Clean Eating Challenge
Summary
Do you feel like it's time to start taking better care of yourself? Do you want to look and feel better? If you ask my dad what "clean eating" is, he'll act confused and tell you it probably means not to eat things off the floor. What do you think of when you hear "clean eating"? Do you imagine some locally grown organic lettuce leaves sitting sadly on a plate? Do you think of green juice or health supplements? Yoga and detox diets? Well, you won't find any of that in this book. Instead, we're going to focus on healthy and more realistic ways of eating - common sense that isn't all that common anymore. Clean eating is a lifestyle and an attitude more than it is a set of forbidden foods. Though some might disagree, you can eat meat, wheat, and dairy and still have a "clean" diet, and you most certainly don't need to spend a lot of money on "superfoods". During this challenge, you'll try to let go of the mythical ideal diet; we will focus on continuous improvement rather than perfection. And, most importantly, flexibility and joy rather than deprivation. The only one who knows if a diet is good for you or not is your own body. So ask it! During the 21 days of the challenge, we'll look at opportunities to clear away foods that are hindering your health and replace them with better ones. You will be amazed by how much impact healthy eating will have on your overall well-being and the way you look. The 21-Day Clean Eating Challenge will help you to: Make better food choices throughout the day Wake up every morning feeling refreshed and well rested Normalize blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and digestion And more!

The 21-Day Weight Loss Challenge
Summary
Are you tired of starting a new diet and then disappointing yourself every time? Do you feel that no matter how motivated you are, you will always fall back into the trap of out-of-control eating? If you're overweight now, own it. You have fat, but you don't have to say you are fat. It's not your identity unless you want it to be. What you are is a complex human being who can make choices to improve your life at any time - even right now. In this book, you won't find a list of top 10 metabolism boosters. You won't find any magic or any quick fixes to make your belly flat just in time for the weekend. And I won't encourage you to avoid one food group like the plague or buy a new set of tiny crockery or pray the fat away.

The 21-Day Weight Loss Challenge will help you to: Realize that right now you have fat, as opposed to being fat. It's not your identity; it's a temporary state, a choice. Explore and understand the excuses and reasons that keep you overweight. Why aren't you more active? Why aren't you eating healthier? Why do you eat when your body isn't hungry? Estimate your caloric requirements, the sweet spot where you slowly but steadily lose weight without feeling hungry and miserable all the time Let go of magic pills, shakes, and other stuff in the dieting industry that colleagues and that skinny YouTube chick want you to believe in.
