Adversity Brings Balance by Aké Satia: In Adversity Brings Balance, Aké Satia shares her life story as a black woman living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in the corporate world. In revealing anecdotes about her life and career, she conveys perspectives from a global lens on the trials of life overcoming fears, the unexpected virtue of adversity, and so many lessons in between.
Her book, Adversity Brings Balance is a reflection on real life experiences, how we can embark on a path of transformational growth by embracing the unique values and attributes that we each embody while partnering with others as we intentionally create our lives. A Human Capital leader by trade, Aké uses her story to illuminate her path to personal empowerment so that others might find theirs. It’s this kind of work that is core to Aké’s business philosophy.
Get Out of Your Head: Stopping the Spiral of Toxic Thought by Jennie Allen: Are your thoughts holding you captive? I’ll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn’t really love me. Jennie Allen knows what it’s like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, but she also knows we don’t have to stay stuck in toxic thinking patterns.
As she discovered in her own life, God built a way for us to escape that downward spiral. Freedom comes when we refuse to be victims to our thoughts and realize we have already been equipped with power from God to fight and win the war for our minds.
In Get Out of Your Head, Jennie inspires and equips us to transform our emotions, our outlook, and even our circumstances by taking control of our thoughts. Our enemy is determined to get in our heads to make us feel helpless, overwhelmed, and incapable of making a difference for the kingdom of God. But when we submit our minds to Christ, the promises and goodness of God flood our lives in remarkable ways.
It starts in your head. And from there, the possibilities are endless.
