Summary

"Jordan River Stops" explores the intriguing question of whether the biblical account of the Jordan River stopping, as described in the Book of Joshua, could be linked to natural phenomena. The book uniquely blends Biblical Studies with Earth Sciences like seismology and hydrology, investigating if a landslide, triggered by seismic activity, could have temporarily dammed the river, allowing the Israelites to cross. This intersection of faith and science offers a fresh perspective on a well-known biblical narrative.

 
The book progresses by first examining the biblical narrative, then transitioning into an analysis of the Jordan River Valley's geological history, including its susceptibility to landslides. It explores the plausibility of the event, referencing documented cases of similar river-damming events globally and evaluating historical records of earthquakes and landslides in the region.

 
By investigating seismic activity, the book offers a plausible explanation, aligning both with the biblical timeline and geological realities. This approach of integrating textual interpretation with scientific data makes "Jordan River Stops" valuable for researchers, students, and general readers interested in the relationship between the Bible and science. Understanding the potential role of natural events in shaping historical narratives highlights the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to interpreting complex historical events.

Sometimes Dreams Come True . . . 
 
 
 
And so do nightmares. 
 
 
 
When Naomi's daughter, Perle, starts to have nightmares about smokestacks and creepy doctors, Naomi is struck with terror—the terror of a mother who fears her daughter is in mortal danger. Naomi believes dreams are glimpses into the future. She, too, has had dreams of foreign soldiers with a strange flag invading her tiny village. She knows in her heart that evil is brewing. 
 
 
 
Real-life has already been a living hell for Naomi. She must navigate the treacherous path of her unhappy arranged marriage with Hershel while keeping a scandalous love affair secret. And now something is coming. Her dreams—the dreams Hershel laughs at—tell her so. And the thing that is coming will make the hell she has been living seem ordinary and almost peaceful. 
 
 
 
The noose is tightening, and not even her nightmares can prepare Naomi, or her sleepy little village, from the sweeping scythe of the Nazi death machine.

This first-of-its-kind guide to spiritual intelligence—rooted in attachment theory, Christian formation, and the science of spirituality—helps us develop healthy attachments, grow into our most secure selves, and love others in the way God loves. With the care of a pastor and the rigor of a researcher, Paul M. Burns gives us practical ways to develop our spiritual intelligence. Becoming a spiritually intelligent person means cultivating an attachment to God, learning self-differentiation, and nurturing empathy. Burns outlines nine paths toward "lovingness," such as the path of sensing God's nearness and the path of self-regulation. 
 
 
 
Understanding the human psyche—a word that derives from the Greek for "soul"—can help us grow in Christlike love. How do our earliest attachments shape our sense of who God is? How might stories from Scripture resonate anew when we read them through the lens of attachment theory and brain science? Each chapter offers a spiritual intelligence practice, reflection questions, and a prayer to help us translate emotional and spiritual insights into everyday life. 
 
 
 
Reminiscent of the work of Richard Foster, Ruth Haley Barton, and Ronald Rolheiser, Becoming Spiritually Intelligent is an authoritative guide to emotional health, relational intimacy, and spiritual growth.

Time Period: 1832  Twelve-year-old Emma Farley has a secret hope-but in 1832, in the rough frontier city of Cincinnati, will she ever be able to live her dream? The odds are against her, considering society's views of "women's work," as well as the more immediate and frightening problems she face-a massive flood of the Ohio River and an epidemic of cholera. Using actual historical events to tell a compelling coming-of-age story, Emma's Secret shows young readers that God-given dreams are meant to be followed. Combining fiction with real events is an ideal way to teach history and faith-especially at this price!
