Summary

The I Ching, or The Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese text revered for its profound philosophical insights and its dynamic interplay between chance and wisdom. Rooted in the traditions of Confucianism and Daoism, this classic work employs a unique literary style that combines symbolic hexagrams with poetic commentary, creating a complex tapestry of meaning. Through the lens of change as a universal constant, the I Ching offers not only a divinatory guide but also a reflective philosophical framework, encouraging readers to contemplate the nature of existence, decision-making, and the interconnectedness of all things. While its authorship remains anonymous, the text is traditionally attributed to legendary figures such as Fu Xi, King Wen, and Confucius. These historical connections suggest a deep engagement with the socio-political and spiritual struggles of their respective eras, imbuing the work with both poignancy and timeless relevance. The I Ching has influenced countless thinkers, artists, and scholars across cultures, making its way into Western philosophy, psychology, and modern spirituality. This seminal work is highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of life's complexities or the art of divination. Whether approached as a philosophical manual, a spiritual companion, or a literary masterpiece, the I Ching transcends genres, inviting readers to explore the wisdom that emerges through change and transformation.

    Helps parents to teach young children what the Bible says about sexuality proactively and positively in a culture with contrasting ideas and values.   As Christian parents, we long to equip our kids as they venture out into a culture where LGBT is affirmed and celebrated. We want them to know what God says, and to love what God says. But, it’s hard to know where to start. That's where this book can help  Author Rachel Gilson helps you to teach your children proactively and positively about God’s beautiful design for human sexuality, gender, and relationships. This book will help you to provide your children with a Christian framework for sexual ethics, rather than letting the culture lay the foundations of their worldview in this area.   Rachel writes with understanding and clarity to help fellow parents engage with the wider LGBT narrative with faith rather than fear. Since she herself experiences same-sex attraction but has chosen to follow the Bible's teaching, she has put much thought into this topic. She reassures us that Jesus gives us everything we need to be faithful disciples in a fallen world, and that God works out his perfect purposes despite human sin. She also shares her wisdom on how to respond with grace and truth to people with different beliefs in this area.   This book is ideal for preschool and elementary-school children.

    You will laugh and cry when you read how Patti Smith lovingly and honestly reveals transformative lessons gleaned from forty-plus years of caring for (and being tutored by) her son, Christopher. His diagnosis as a baby with Down Syndrome at first tilted her world off-axis, only to reveal itself to be the thing that actually set her worldview at the exact right angle. 
In an inspirational and heartwarming manner, Patti explains how her life was changed for the better in profound ways. 
With her son as her master teacher, Patti learned to see life through his perspective and discover the joy in situations requiring her to dig deeply into her own psyche to identify beliefs needing adjustment. She shares the way she changes with vulnerability and light-heartedness, while giving credit to her clever son who is respectfully referred to as her own Professor Higgins. 
This book is not just a book about how to raise a child with Down Syndrome, but an inspiring and humorous reflection of parenting and relationships in general. 
Awarded the Olive Woolley Burt Award for Creative Writing in the New Voices category.
