  Earth in Flames - How an...

  Sixty-six million years ago an asteroid as large as Mt. Everest hit what is now the Yucatan Peninsula at a speed ten times faster than the fastest rifle bullet. Debris from the impact blew into space, re-entered the atmosphere as a swarm of shooting stars that burned the global forests and grasslands, leaving behind a thin global layer containing rock from the asteroid and from Mexico, and smoke from the fires. This layer marks one of the greatest extinctions in Earth history including not just dinosaurs, but also fish, plankton, ammonites, and plants making up about 75% of the known species. 
   
   
   
  A nuclear war with just a few hundred of the world's 12,000 nuclear weapons targeted on densely populated cities could plunge Earth into the same types of conditions that the dinosaurs experienced. Even a war between India and Pakistan could kill 1 to 3 billion people from starvation due to agricultural failure, while 6 billion people might starve following a war involving Russia, NATO, and the U.S. 
   
   
   
  The book describes how the dinosaurs died, and how their deaths parallel what might happen to people after a nuclear war. The book reflects on the odds of future asteroid impacts, how to stop them, and ends with what the listeners personally and together can do to prevent a nuclear war, so that humans don't end up like the dinosaurs.

  The Discovery of Tutankhamun's...

  The search for Tutankhamun’s tomb was one of the most ambitious archaeological pursuits of the early 20th century. For years, Egyptologists and explorers had scoured the Valley of the Kings, believing that the burial site of the young pharaoh remained hidden beneath the desert sands. Despite previous excavations yielding little success, one man remained convinced that the tomb had yet to be discovered. 
  Howard Carter, a British archaeologist, had spent decades working in Egypt, developing an unmatched expertise in excavation. His belief in the existence of Tutankhamun’s tomb was fueled by fragments of artifacts bearing the young pharaoh’s name, suggesting that his final resting place was still untouched. However, funding such an extensive search required a patron, and it was Lord Carnarvon, a wealthy British aristocrat, who provided the financial backing. In 1917, Carter’s systematic excavation of the Valley of the Kings began, but after several years of fruitless digging, Carnarvon grew impatient. 
  By 1922, with resources nearly depleted, Carter convinced Carnarvon to allow him one final season of excavation. It was in November of that year that Carter’s persistence paid off. While investigating an area near the tomb of Ramses VI, workers uncovered a set of steps leading down into the earth. Clearing away the debris, Carter discovered a sealed doorway marked with the insignia of Tutankhamun. Excitement and caution filled the air as he realized that the tomb had remained undisturbed for centuries.

  Does it feel like you experience life in a totally different way than others? Like you are living somewhere else, and you can't build connection or intimacy with God like others can?
  There's a good chance that you, like so many of us, have tried it all: read your Bible more, gone to church more, prayed more, and delved deeper into self-awareness. But you still struggle with discontent, anxiety, avoidance and doubt. You still feel stuck.
  No matter where you find yourself emotionally, relationally, or spiritually, Jesus meets you there and helps you move toward a place of peace and rest. As pastors, coaches, and educators, Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw are very familiar with this struggle, and they are prepared to help. In Landscapes of the Soul, they draw on the science and spirituality of attachment theory, biblical wisdom, and the language of spiritual formation to show us why Christians tend to get stuck spiritually—and how to get unstuck and move forward.
  Whether you feel like you're living in a spiritual jungle, desert, or war zone, you will discover:
  
  - how you are designed to grow good roots through healthy relational attachment
  - how things go wrong through your often-distorted survival strategies
  - how God repairs your faith, hope, and love for Him, others, and ourselves
  - how Jesus quiets your anxious and avoidant faith
  - how to incorporate practices for building your security with God
  You aren't meant to live in the anxiety of a jungle, the desolation of a desert, or the chaos of a war zone. God designed you to live in joy and peace in relationship with Him, as if you are in a pasture, under the protective care of the Good Shepherd.

  Metropolises in Myth -...

  Throughout history, cities have risen and fallen, some leaving behind monumental legacies while others have vanished into myth. The allure of lost cities has captivated imaginations across generations, often blending history with legend. These fabled metropolises, shrouded in mystery and time, offer tantalizing glimpses into what might have been—magnificent civilizations, advanced technologies, and vibrant cultures. Whether concealed beneath the sands of the desert, submerged under the sea, or hidden deep in the jungles, the idea of cities lost to time speaks to humanity's eternal quest for discovery and our fascination with the past. 
  The mystery of lost cities invites both scholars and adventurers to uncover what lies beneath the surface of ancient tales. It fuels our imagination, as each lost city becomes a puzzle—fragments of architecture, scattered relics, and half-forgotten stories that promise to reveal something transformative. But beyond mere exploration, these cities often represent something deeper: the fragility of human ambition, the impermanence of power, and the profound impact of time on civilization. In this quest to resurrect ancient urban centers, we see not just the history of the cities themselves, but also reflections of our own desires and dreams for immortality.
