Story
This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

Overall, this audiobook is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to better understand and address their toxic behaviors.

A concise guide to better relationships!
This book is great as it offers a clear and structured path to healthier and more fulfilling relationships but utilizing rational thinking, emotional intelligence, and mindfulness. It covers things like the Rational Mindfulness Framework (RMF) and CBT worksheets. The thing that makes this standout in a world flooded with information is the bullet points included at the end of every chapter and separated into their own chapters for easy access. In today's day and age there is an abundance of information and it is easy to get lost in the sauce. This format allows you to quickly recap the main ideas in an convenient place. Overall great for people looking to strengthen their relationships or break free from toxic ones.

I can definitely see how the tips within this book can help lead to healthier relationships moving forward. I really liked the rational mindfulness approach, since it uses both rational thinking and mindfulness to help you understand your emotions better and change the way you react to things.
