Veteran hospital chaplain to the sick, dying, and bereaved, J.S. Park offers you both the permission and the process for how to grieve and heal at your own pace.

"Quiet the Noise in Your Headspace and Find Your One, True Voice During hospital chaplaincy training, J. S. Park began to see patterns in his own life and the lives of patients he met. Often they understood the problem, maybe, like him, they could even point to the root causes, but they still felt stuck. So he developed the Voices Model to help people find their one, true voice. It explores the false voices we listen to, four inner voices (self-condemning, self-exalting, condemning others, and exalting others), and four outer voices (guilt, family dynamics, grief, and trauma). Through it you'll learn how to identify these unhelpful voices and successfully kick them out of your headspace. Filled with first-person narrative stories, and psychological, spiritual, and clinical insights, The Voices We Carry is an enjoyable, disarming, and important read. For anyone who wants to grow but isn't quite sure how to move forward, this book is for you"--

About a year ago, captivating footage of Kevin Richardson, an animal custodian in a South African park, began circulating on YouTube. The videos showcased his extraordinary interactions with some of the world's most dangerous animals, where he engaged with them at their level, played, and even kissed them, all without injury. This footage propelled Richardson to international fame. In his narrative, he reflects on his journey from a young boy known as 'The Bird Man of Orange Grove' to a man who bridges the gap between humans and predators. As a self-taught animal behaviorist, he defies conventional safety protocols, believing that love, understanding, and trust are the keys to forming bonds with wild animals, rather than force. His approach allows him to understand their individual personalities, fostering acceptance among them. Richardson shares poignant stories of the animals he has connected with, including his 'brothers' Napoleon and Tau, the lioness Meg, the fierce Tsavo, and the little hyena Homer. He also discusses his involvement in the film The White Lion and addresses the pressing issues of lion farming and hunting in South Africa.
