Sinopsis

In "The Consolation of Philosophy," originally penned by Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius in the early 6th century, the author merges philosophy with a poetic narrative style, reflecting the tensions of a world in crisis. Written while Boethius was imprisoned and awaiting execution, this text marvelously explores themes of fortune, happiness, and the transient nature of worldly power. Boethius employs a dialogue between himself and Lady Philosophy, who serves as his guide through an array of philosophical inquiries, ultimately asserting that true happiness lies in the pursuit of virtue rather than material wealth. Boethius, a Roman philosopher, statesman, and Christian thinker, drew upon a rich intellectual heritage, intertwining Platonic and Aristotelian elements with Christian ethos. His position in the tumultuous political landscape of the late Roman Empire, coupled with his personal misfortunes, deeply informed the poignant reflections found in this work. Boethius's unique ability to articulate his despair and his quest for understanding resonates profoundly in both philosophical and theological discourse. "The Consolation of Philosophy" is an essential read for anyone seeking insight into the human condition, offering timeless wisdom that remains relevant in contemporary discussions of ethics and happiness. Its fusion of prose and verse invites readers to ponder life's most pressing questions, making it a remarkable companion for both casual readers and serious scholars alike.

    Trauma and addiction heal in tandem with this paradigm-shifting approach. 
     
     
     
    What if addiction, dissociation, and other manifestations of trauma were not framed as diseases or disorders, but rather as adaptive methods of regulating the autonomic nervous system (ANS)? This book takes that approach, and guides listeners through twenty embodied practices that promote the rewiring of the ANS. By integrating the latest neuroscience from Stephen Porges's Polyvagal Theory with Eugene Gendlin's embodied felt sense, Jan Winhall's Felt Sense Polyvagal Model is a paradigm-shifting, deeply somatic approach to healing trauma and addiction. 
     
     
     
    Listeners are presented with two vital tools for healing: learning how to recognize and rewire their autonomic state, and finding the felt sense of somatic wisdom. This compassionate and inviting model centers the intelligence of the body to allow for deep healing, and these twenty step-by step exercises present an accessible approach for clinicians, their clients, and anyone on the journey to healing from trauma and addiction. The book's exercises are uniquely designed to be completed either with a mental health professional, another person engaged in this embodied process (a felt sense partner), or both.

    Hallowed Ground examines the surprising traditions, customs, superstitions, and secular imagery found in Christian churches and churchyards, with a particular emphasis on the traditional rural protestant church.   Beginning with stories associated with the construction of church buildings themselves and the role that they played in the community, the book moves through a number of subjects where everything might not be as it would seem it should be in the Christian church and its grounds.   Expect vestiges of pagan symbols hidden in the fabric of the church building and clergymen rumored to hold strange arcane knowledge of their own, kept within their personal occult libraries. Learn the ways in which you can use the church and its grounds to divine who might die in the next twelve months, where you might find love, and how you might cure illnesses.   Watch out for a number of figures you wouldn’t expect to find on such holy ground, from run-ins with the devil to spectral figures inhabiting the church or its graves. Discover some of the ways in which magic and witchcraft seep into the hallowed ground of the churchyard from outside.  Hallowed Ground will offer more than a few surprises about the folklore that surrounds the church and churchyard and a fascinating insight into the social history of our place of traditional Sunday worship, all delivered with the academic rigor and accessible, engaging style for which the author is known.

    Creative ideas, real-life stories, and Scriptural guidance for being the family that loves being together.   
    Building Family Ties with Faith, Love, and Laughter is the second of three books in the Faithful Families series where Dave applies his practical, conversational, and humorous approach to the challenge of building strong spiritual ties to each other as a family. Topics include: Contentment, Security, Loyalty, Gratitude, Spontaneity, Communication, and more.  
    Preaching is his gift, but Pastor Dave Stone’s family is his life’s blessing. While raising three kids with his wife, Beth, as well as shepherding the diverse families of his congregation, his heart, and passion for building strong families rings louder than ever. He knows that raising faithful families is a key to the future of the church.   
    "Dave's book is full of no nonsense, common sense suggestions, and biblically inspired truth. As a parent of two "under construction" children still finding their way in a fallen world, I am keenly aware of the importance of living a life of faithful integrity in order to actually teach it to our kids. I, of course, have failed miserably on occasion. But then, I didn't have Dave's book like you do!"—Kathie Lee Gifford

    An insider's true story of the "Orgasm cult” - written in the shadow of the 2025 federal conviction. 
    At twenty-four, he was broke, anxious, and sexually dysfunctional. A postcard advertising a "Meetup on Female Orgasm" seemed absurd. He went anyway. What he found changed everything. 
    Within months, he transformed from socially awkward to confident "stroker" living in an orgasm commune in Manhattan. The women were radiant and sexually empowered. The men possessed an almost supernatural ability to "feel" what others wanted. Every conversation was vulnerable. Every moment alive with sensation. It felt like he'd found the cheat codes to human connection. 
    But there was a price he couldn't see yet. 
    This raw, untold memoir reveals the real story not covered in Netflix's Orgasm Inc. 
    The Netflix documentary told you it was a cult. 
    The Bloomberg investigation exposed the crimes. 
    The FBI built the case. 
    But no one has shown you how it actually worked from the inside - until now. 
    This is the primary source account. Two years inside at the peak. 
    The complete psychological architecture of how intelligent people get seduced, transformed, and nearly destroyed. 
    Not a victim interview looking back. 
    The story shows how intelligent people get trapped in high-control groups. How the same methods used to help people can be weaponized to control them. How trauma and transformation can be impossible to separate. 
    This is the nuanced, uncomfortable truth that most coverage misses.
