Emmy-Award winning writer and comedian Josh Gondelman's collection of personal stories of best intentions and mixed results.

Josh Gondelman knows a thing or two about trying--and failing. The Emmy Award-winning stand-up comic--dubbed a "pathological sweetheart" by the New York Observer--is known throughout the industry as one of comedy's true "nice guys." Not surprisingly, he's endured his share of last-place finishes. But he keeps on bouncing back.

In this collection of hilarious and poignant essays (including his acclaimed New York Times piece "What if I Bombed at My Own Wedding?"), Josh celebrates a life of good intentions--and mixed results. His true tales of romantic calamities, professional misfortunes, and eventual triumphs reinforce the notion: we get out of the world what we put into it. Whether he's adopting a dog from a suspicious stranger, mitigating a disastrous road trip, or trying MDMA for the first (and only) time, Josh only wants the best for everyone--even as his attempts to do the right thing occasionally implode.

Full of the warm and relatable humor that's made him a favorite on the comedy club circuit, Nice Try solidifies Josh Gondelman's reputation as not just a good guy, but a skilled observer of the human condition.

PARADIGM SHIFT
Format: Kindle
This book is spectacular! I loved reading every chapter. It is filled with revelation that stretched my faith in "the new being" we are in Christ and our inheritance. When I now read..."Therefore, if any one is in UNION with Christ he is a NEW (“ KAINOS”) being (2 Cor 5: 17, TCNT)"...I read it from a new perspective. There are powerful testimonials shared in this extraordinary book by Justin Paul Abraham. Because of the NEW being we are in Christ, I'm truly and wholeheartedly beginning to believe we are limitless. I sincerely have a stronger spirit of expectancy now. I'm now committing to seeking God in a deeper way and waiting for the next paradigm shift of my walk with Him. I want the love of God that surpasses all knowledge and understanding to increase in my life so that He is revealed in and through me more and more - from glory to glory! Amen! Amen! and AMEN!

Jarvis pocket companion
Format: Paperback
got it for nursing school at UT Tyler. Love it as it's a great little resource to haul around everywhere which has a significant amount of great information which is needed for my classes and clinicals. Highly recommend it but due note that the 8th edition contains the same information merely a few pages are numbered differently and that older edition was nearly $30 less in price. Just an FYI if looking to save a few bucks...
