When Heidi and Roland Baker abandoned their carefully laid plans for theological school and church planting in London, they had no idea they’d step into a decades-long journey of radical faith in war-torn Mozambique. Drawn by a *Time* magazine article about the country’s brutal civil war and devastating poverty, they answered God’s call to serve the “least of these”—street orphans, garbage-dwellers, and survivors of violence and disease. From transforming the neglected Chihango Children’s Center (once a detention facility for “unmanageable” kids) to leading flood relief efforts that fed thousands, they witnessed countless miracles: dying children healed, mute girls finding their voice, even the dead raised to life. Through political pushback, cholera outbreaks, and overwhelming need, they clung to the promise that “there’s always enough”—enough grace, enough provision, enough love to meet every need. This raw, inspiring memoir reveals how radical surrender to God’s call turns desperation into revival, as hundreds of churches sprout across Mozambique and broken lives are restored in the shadow of poverty and suffering.

As a beloved household staple for decades, *What to Expect the First Year* gets a thoughtful, modern update from parenting expert Heidi Murkoff, who draws on her new perspective as a grandmother to meet today’s caregivers where they are. Originally born from Murkoff’s own chaotic first-time parenting journey in 1984, this revised edition retains the empathetic, non-judgmental tone that made it a go-to guide, while adding fresh, relevant content tailored to 21st-century families. It breaks down every stage of a baby’s first year—from newborn care to the toddler transition—with modular, easy-to-navigate sections covering feeding (including workplace pumping and formula options), sleep training, developmental milestones, safety protocols, and specialized care for low-birth-weight infants. Modern topics like gender-inclusive parenting, eco-friendly diapering, and tech tools for parents are woven in, all while emphasizing that there’s no “perfect” way to parent. This guide doesn’t just give instructions; it empowers caregivers to trust their instincts and navigate the first year with confidence.

This book isn’t about teaching you to be an over-the-top “alpha bro”—it’s your actionable guide to cultivating the grounded, confident, and magnetic traits of a true alpha male. Heidi Murkoff breaks down core myths surrounding alpha identity, explaining these qualities aren’t innate but can be built through intentional practice and mindset shifts. You’ll first confront self-limiting patterns holding non-alpha men back: crippling self-doubt, social anxiety, and lack of life control that drains potential and opportunities. Then, you’ll walk through step-by-step strategies to rebuild your foundation: from fostering self-respect and emotional resilience to mastering assertive communication, disciplined fitness, and meaningful intimate relationships. Packed with practical exercises and real-world insights, this handbook guides you on a continuous growth journey, helping you shed self-defeating habits, conquer fear, and become a leader who commands respect through integrity, empathy, and unshakable self-assurance.
