  Zero Hour America - History's...

  America has lost its way. And America will fall—unless.
  Revolution? Oligarchy? Or homecoming? Americans are approaching a "zero hour" for the republic and its distinctive view of ordered freedom. America is caught between two revolutions and alternately suppresses and squanders freedom with a prodigal carelessness, with little understanding of the responsibilities that freedom requires.
  Os Guinness warns that if America abandons its distinctive ideals and ideas, we will have carved into the chronicles of history yet another example of the failure of a free society. Like other crucial times in world history, the present crisis is a "civilizational moment" and also a pivot point that could lead to national renewal. Outlining seven key foundation stones of freedom, Guinness lays out a pathway for defining and ordering freedom, righting national wrongs, and passing freedom's baton from generation to generation.
  Human freedom is precious and rare, and citizens who prize it must do what it takes to renew and sustain societies that are free for all of their members. America's window of opportunity is brief, and the alternative to renewal is bleak. The present moment must not be missed.

  Living life to the fullest with bipolar disorder is possible!In this candid, humorous, and insightful book, author, political science lecturer, and “Dudeist Priest” Arch Grieve provides readers with a first-hand account of the many lessons he has learned (often the hard way) as a person living with bipolar disorder. This guidebook is a must-read for anyone who has recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder or knows someone who has. Arch provides readers with real-life cautionary tales, practical advice, and hope that they can do more than just “get by” with bipolar disorder – they can actually thrive in it by capitalizing on the creativity, energy, and unique ways of thinking they possess by virtue of their condition. He also provides bipolar sufferers with several tools they can use to help manage their illness more effectively.The book also includes practical tools that will help you gain control over your illness, including a bipolar mood scale, a mania contract example, a suicide safety plan template, and a mood tracker.Anyone struggling with bipolar disorder will benefit greatly from reading the book. Still, fans of the hit Coen Brothers film, The Big Lebowski, will appreciate even more how Arch draws upon his Dudeist faith (and a healthy dose of Lebowski movie references) to help him abide, even when someone pisses on the rug, man.The most important thing this book provides is hope for people struggling with bipolar disorder, a mental illness that bears the unfortunate distinction of being the one that claims the most victims through suicide with a rate that stands at nearly 20%. This doesn't have to be the case, however, and this book will provide bipolar readers (and their friends and family members) a path forward out of despair and show them, step-by-step, how to build a full and complete life that they can actually thrive in. It'll also make you laugh to beat the band. Parts, anyway.  In short, it's just the right book for its time and place.

  Becoming Elijah - Prophet of...

  The story of the prophet Elijah's transformation from fierce zealot to compassionate hero and cherished figure in Jewish tradition 
   
   
   
  In the Bible Elijah is a zealous prophet, attacking idolatry and injustice, championing God. He performs miracles, restoring life and calling down fire. When his earthly life ends, he vanishes in a whirlwind, carried off to heaven in a fiery chariot. Was this a spectacular death, or did Elijah escape death entirely? The latter view prevailed. Though residing in heaven, Elijah revisits earth—to help, rescue, enlighten, and eventually herald the Messiah. Because of his messianic role, Jews open the door for Elijah during each seder—the meal commemorating liberation from slavery and anticipating final redemption. 
   
   
    
  How did this zealot turn into a compassionate hero—apparently the most popular figure in Jewish tradition? Becoming Elijah explores this question, tracing how Elijah develops from the Bible to Rabbinic Judaism, Kabbalah, and Jewish ritual (as well as Christianity and Islam). His transformation is pertinent and inspirational for our polarized, fanatical world.
