"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"--

From the ashes of an African genocide lost love and a new evil arise. Lawyer Mike Ioannou is dead after a hit and run in Thailand. A home invasion threatens the life of medico Richard Dunlop. In Johannesburg, a car jacker nearly kills photo journalist Liesl Nel. Unrelated incidents in a dangerous world, or something else entirely? Australian war crimes prosecutor Carmel Shang joins the dots. All three victims are linked by a photograph that was clutched in the hand of a dying man nearly twenty years ago. The picture holds a clue to how madness gripped a country resulting in a million people losing their lives. Carmel has to not only confront the perpetrators of the unprecedented slaughter, but Richard and Liesl, the two people she never wanted to see again. Richard was the UN military doctor she was in love with in Rwanda, and Liesl was the woman who came between them. Now they are thrown together again, desperately trying to find out why the photograph is making them the target of an assassin. In a quest that takes them from South Africa's Kruger National Park to Zambia, Australia, and back to Rwanda, where it all began, they find that amidst the indestructible majesty and beauty of Africa, yesterday's merchants of death are dealing in a new currency - illegal traditional medicine and the barbaric live trade in endangered African wildlife; businesses they're prepared to kill for to protect.
