Sinossi

Hidden Details argues that history's pivotal moments often hinge on overlooked details, not just grand strategies. It challenges conventional narratives by examining logistical constraints, individual actions, and unintended consequences, revealing how these factors drastically altered outcomes. Consider, for example, how weather patterns impacted military campaigns or how unsung heroes influenced crucial historical junctures. This book asserts that a comprehensive understanding requires meticulous examination of these seemingly insignificant elements, empowering readers to critically assess established historical accounts.

 
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts through examples. Subsequent sections then offer in-depth analyses of specific historical events, examining both military and political turning points impacted by logistical and environmental factors, as well as instances where individual actions and unintended consequences changed the course of events.

 
By focusing on micro-level factors, Hidden Details distinguishes itself by moving away from deterministic explanations and emphasizing contingency and human agency, providing a framework for identifying and analyzing these hidden influences on policy decisions and strategic decision-making.

    Omnipotence is dead. 
    At least it should be. It has no biblical support. And it dies a death of a thousand qualifications in philosophy. 
    Those harmed and hurting wonder why an omnipotent and loving God doesn't prevent pointless pain. The problem of evil buries omnipotence six feet under. 
    But the death of omnipotence is not the death of God. 
    In this ground-breaking book, best-selling and award-winning author Thomas Jay Oord explains why omnipotence should be rejected. But Oord offers a replacement: amipotence, the power of love. 
    If we think love shapes and guides God's power, we make better sense of life. We make better sense of the Bible. Amipotence explains why God doesn't prevent genuine evil and it overcomes other obstacles to belief. An amipotent Spirit empowers all that is loving, true, beautiful, and good. 
    No book makes a bolder but more needed argument for why God is not all-powerful. Those who care about God, love, scripture, and logic will find what they've long been looking for.

    Endorsements: 
    "Omnipotence has long been considered a basic, non-negotiable, characteristic of God. But is it biblical? And does it push us toward theological landmines that blow up faith? In this book, Oord, with his typical gentle candor, lays out the complex issues in clear and readable chunks. In the end, Oord points to the beauty and comfort of a God who is uncontrolling love."

    In Why Didn’t They Hear Us? The Causes, Consequences, and Solutions to Children Feeling Unheard, Author Pam Orgeron addresses the problem of children being unheard in America. Were you one of those children? Perhaps an abused, neglected, or foster child? Pam combines her education, research, and life experience to compile a book that will help adults in recovery from being unheard as a child and help adults—whether parents; teachers, clinicians, or others—who work with children regularly. Are you ready to become a part of the solution to the problem of children being unheard? If so, this book is for you! 
     
    Why Didn’t They Hear Us? is divided into three sections. The first section deals with the causes, or factors contributing to children being unheard, including parental, educational, religious, legal, and societal. Section Two discusses the consequences of children not being listened to and how they may react as a response at home, at school, and in other parts of society. Section Three offers to parents, educators, Christian leaders, legal officials, and others suggestions to minimize the pain and negative reactions of children who feel and are often unheard.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
    Manipulation is not rare. It is an industry. 
     
    Salespeople are trained in it. Scammers live off it. Cult recruiters, toxic bosses and the apps on every phone are built around it. None of them need weak victims. All they need are ordinary decent instincts, such as politeness, trust, loyalty and the fear of missing out, and a moment when there is no time to think. 
     
    The most dangerous part is that it never feels like manipulation. It feels like a free gift, a warm welcome or a deadline that ends tonight. By the time the pressure is visible, the decision already feels like one’s own. 
     
    The six psychological levers behind almost every sales pitch, scam and recruitment 
    How love bombing makes leaving feel like betrayal 
    Why the most charming person in the room is often the most dangerous 
    Why intelligent people fall the hardest 
    The one question that exposes it all before the yes 
     
    Once the strings are visible, they stop working.
