Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Brain Candy for expectant parents! Pregnancy is an adventure. Lots of books tell you the basics--"the baby is the size of [insert fruit here]." But pregnant science writer Jena Pincott began to wonder just how a baby might tinker with her body--and vice versa--and chased down answers to the questions she wouldn't ask her doctor, such as: * Does stress sharpen your baby's mind--or dull it? * Can you predict your baby's temperament? * Why are babies born in the darker months of the year more likely to grow up to be novelty-loving risk takers? * Are bossy, dominant women more likely to have boys? * How can the cells left behind by your baby affect you years later? This is a different kind of pregnancy book--thoughtful, fun, and filled with information you won't find anywhere else.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Jena Nardella, cofounder of Blood: Water and one of Christianity Today's 33 Under 33, shares a captivatingly honest (Publishers Weekly) account of how her passion for saving the world grew into a humbler, long-term calling of loving the world in all its brokenness in this beautifully written memoir. Ten years ago, Jena Lee Nardella was a fresh-out-of-college, twenty-something with the lofty goal of truly changing the world. Armed with a diploma, a thousand dollars, and a dream to build one thousand wells in Africa, she joined forces with Grammy Award-winning band Jars of Clay to found Blood: Water and begin her mission. Jena's dream for her nonprofit turned that initial $1 into $20, and then $100, and today into more than $25 million. Working throughout eleven countries in Africa, Blood: Water has provided healthcare for over 62,000 people in HIV-affected areas and has partnered with communities to provide clean water for more than one million people in Africa. But along the way she faced many harsh realities that have tested her faith, encountered corruption and brokenness that nearly destroyed everything she'd fought for, and learned that wishful thinking will not get you very far. Jena discovered true change comes only when you stop trying to save the world and allow yourself to love it, even when it breaks your heart. With a fresh, intelligent, and winsome voice, Jena Lee Nardella weaves an evocative, personal narrative filled with honest and hard-won lessons that demonstrate the amazing things that can happen when you fight for your dreams.…
