The Dawn of Mind - How Matter...

James Cooke PhD

Although consciousness is at the very center of who we are, its exact nature continues to confound modern science. From where does consciousness originate? At our core, are we material bodies or immaterial conscious minds? Many assume that consciousness is a product of our complex brains, a product of evolution—and yet, there is no evolutionary reason that a mechanical function of the brain should allow us to enjoy the beauty of a sunrise or become intoxicated with the smell of rain on dry earth. If consciousness is not the product of sophisticated human brains, might the nonhuman living world be conscious? If so, where does that place us in relation to the rest of life on Earth—and what does this imply about our domination and plundering of the natural world for resources? Dr. James Cooke is no stranger to intricate and existential questions such as these, and he confronts them head-on in his compelling, inventive, revolutionary new book, The Dawn of Mind: How Matter Became Conscious and Alive. Weaving together cutting-edge science and the contemplative insights that arise from mystical experience, as occurs with meditation and the emerging therapeutic paradigm of psychedelic medicine, Cooke radically redraws our understanding of what it truly means to be who we are.

Mixed - Embracing Complexity by...

Eli Bonilla Jr., Samuel Rodriguez

Read by the author.
Many of us feel like we don't belong or are out of touch with our true identity. Discover how you can gain a stronger sense of who God made you to be and step confidently into every relationship, fully owning your unique distinctions and celebrating the differences of others.
Group dynamics can be based on the simplest forms of physical and cultural distinctions, and those who don't quite fit the mold of a group can feel like outsiders. The reality is none of us fit into a box. We're all unique with a mixed background—socially, culturally, experientially. For some of us, like Eli Bonilla Jr., we are also mixed ethnically. No one person is an identical copy of anyone else.
In Mixed, Eli questions the basis of unity and inclusion and explores the multiple components of our identity, discovering how they can all be reconciled for God's purpose as we reflect His image. Mixed will lead you to:find peace with the complexity within yourself,understand yourself more deeply so you can relate to others,experience more human connection through a God-led identity, anddevelop greater empathy, celebrate cultures without creating division, and fight for people in the margins.
Eli will remind you that God made you the way you are for good reason, and you belong wherever He says you belong. Pairing personal stories with biblical teaching, Eli will inspire you not to hold back from others but to confidently share the fullness of who you are, and to love, celebrate, and unite with people who are not just different, but beautifully complex.

Jack's Story - 7th Armored...

John H. Wilson

Jack's Story: A WWII Tank Commander's Journey Through Some of the Greatest Battles in History
In Jack's Story, the incredible experiences of Jack Wilson, a young American tank commander, come to life in a gripping memoir. Drawn from Jack's detailed letters, personal accounts, and son's research, this book pulls back the curtain on one of history's most extraordinary times-World War II.
As part of the 7th Armored Division, Jack fought in some of the fiercest battles of the European Theater. From the forgotten but heroic stand at St. Vith during the Battle of the Bulge to the final days of Nazi Germany in the Ruhr Pocket, Jack's experiences reveal the courage and resilience of an everyday soldier facing unimaginable odds. Jack's Story provides a unique look at these historical events, often overshadowed in the telling of WWII history.
Jack's Story is not just a tale of battles and strategy. It's a profoundly human narrative about love, loss, and resilience. Jack's letters home, filled with emotion and hope, offer a window into the heart of a soldier, far from home but determined to survive and return to his family. The book also weaves in glimpses of life during and after the war, from the vibrant streets of 1940s New York City to the bombed-out ruins of the French countryside and the beauty of Paris and Reims after liberation.
Beautifully written, Jack's Story is a tribute to a father's wartime experience and a rich, exciting account of history told through the eyes of someone who lived it. Readers will be transported back to the front lines, experiencing the sights, sounds, and raw emotions of a tank commander fighting in some of World War II's most pivotal moments.
