Patience: The Art of Waiting -...

Esther Jameson

Patience is often regarded as a simple virtue, but it carries profound power in shaping our lives. It goes beyond just waiting for something to happen. True patience is the ability to endure the waiting process with grace, calm, and peace of mind. It allows us to maintain focus on our long-term goals while navigating the uncertainties of life. In today’s fast-paced world, where instant gratification has become the norm, patience has become an increasingly rare but invaluable skill. Learning to practice patience empowers us to take a step back, remain composed, and make decisions with clarity, even in the face of adversity.
Patience serves as a bridge between desire and fulfillment. It gives us the resilience to endure the waiting period without losing sight of what we’re striving for. Whether we’re waiting for a promotion, healing from an injury, or working toward personal growth, patience allows us to trust that things are unfolding in the right timing. It is often in the waiting process that we learn the most valuable lessons. We discover new strengths, build resilience, and deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
In scientific terms, patience is closely linked to emotional regulation. Studies have shown that those who practice patience tend to experience less stress and anxiety, as they are better able to cope with frustration and setbacks. Patience doesn’t mean passively sitting by and waiting for things to happen; it involves active participation in the process, understanding that timing plays a critical role in achieving our goals. It teaches us to manage our impulses, temper our expectations, and stay grounded during difficult moments.

The American Adam - Innocence...

R.W.B. Lewis

Intellectual history is viewed in this book as a series of “great conversations”—dramatic dialogues in which a culture’s spokesmen wrestle with the leading questions of their times. In nineteenth-century America the great argument centered about De Crèvecoeur’s “new man,” the American, an innocent Adam in a bright new world dissociating himself from the historic past. Mr. Lewis reveals this vital preoccupation as a pervasive, transforming ingredient of the American mind, illuminating history and theology as well as art, shaping the consciousness of lesser thinkers as fully as it shaped the giants of the age. He traces the Adamic theme in the writings of Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melville, Henry James, and others, and in an Epilogue he exposes their continuing spirit in the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Ralph Ellison, J. D. Salinger, and Saul Bellow.

Troubling the Water - The Urgent...

Ben McBride

From one of the most courageous and visionary leaders of our time comes Troubling the Water, an immersive book about the violence and injustice that threaten to drown us all. Ben McBride recounts how he first waded into the water: from the Kill Zone in Oakland, where he moved with his young family, to the uprising in Ferguson, to the moral impoverishment of the white evangelical church. In the truth-telling tradition of Bryan Stevenson and Bishop William Barber, McBride leads us right into the fury and fragmentation of our moment, and then steadies us once we're there. 
 
 
 
What would it take to truly belong to each other? Radical belonging, McBride argues, means looking at our implicit biases, at our faulty understandings of power, and at how we "other"—or "same"—people. Sometimes it even means troubling the waters—speaking hard truths in situations that appear calm but that cloak injustice. 
 
 
 
With a blend of provocation and good humor, McBride leads us beyond inaction on the one hand and polemic on the other. What results is an indelible manifesto—a troublemaking reverend's call to the most urgent task of our time. As inequality, racism, and alienation weaken our common life, well-meaning people ask: What do I need to do to create a world where all can belong? But McBride asserts that instead, we need to ask: Who do I need to become?

Operation Balak: The History of...

Editors Charles River

Less than two weeks after the creation of Israel, the state’s leader, David Ben-Gurion, announced the creation of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). This represented the combined military forces that would protect the new state, and while it might have sounded impressive on paper, the reality was very different. The new army was comprised mainly of ex-members of several paramilitary organizations that had fought for the establishment of the new state, but they lacked heavy weapons, armor and air defenses. The Israeli navy and air force did not exist other than as largely notional organizations, and at the beginning of 1948, the Israeli Air Force did not possess a single combat aircraft of any type.  
	To many outsiders, the defeat of the nascent Jewish state seemed a certainty, yet in an unbelievably short space of time, and despite international embargoes on the export of arms to the region, Israel was able to procure sufficient arms to equip its armed forces and to successfully defend its territory in what became known as the War of Independence (also known as First Arab–Israeli War). 
	This was not the last war that Israel would fight, nor the largest, but its very survival as a state depended on avoiding complete military defeat in 1948. The efforts to do so were tied to a series of secret operations that provided the aircraft and weapons that enabled Israel to survive the First Arab–Israeli War. The smuggling would center on procuring advanced European weaponry, which ironically meant that some of the weapons that reached Israel hailed from none other than Nazi Germany.
