    From the award-winning author of On Fragile Waves comes an inspirational, surprising guide to creation and creativity, and how both bring us closer to God.   Centuries ago, sound theology and good fiction were friends and not strangers. Decades ago, authors strove not for self-expression and self-disclosure but for a mastery of craft and language and books that transformed the reader with wisdom and love. In more recent years, the old ideals have been exchanged for lesser ones.   Few guides to writing, which tend to focus on mechanics, point of view, and plot, address the more important matters of meaning, depth, and heart. But it is the latter qualities that make a book a blessing and gift to both writer and reader. Like Christ’s invitation to follow, they demand a risk and sacrifice of the self and all it holds dear. Writers from George MacDonald to James Baldwin understood this, but in recent years this understanding has been lost. Making old things new, this book proposes an ethics of reading, writing, and living based on truth and love.  Break, Blow, Burn, & Make returns the literary conversation to the practices of co-creation with God. Part bugle call, part compass for writing and for life, and part love song to the books that set us on fire, it offers those who are willing to receive it the courage to live, read, and write more deeply and honestly.

 This book provides a simple trading strategy to Preserve And Grow Your Wealth by filtering the noise to get more valuable information in less time, reducing your stock research and trading effort by over 99%, and betting on long-term value creation to achieve financial success! 
We are told the money managers on Wall Street who spend all day checking every stock price movement, every CEO tweet, and every company filing footnote have an edge in the stock market... But the pixelated truth is that information has mathematical limits: zooming into a single blurry pixel of an image tells you nothing about the big picture – the stock market is no different. And even if we did know every detail of the business, the laws of nature tell us we can't predict the future stock price in a complex marketplace anyway! 
In "Stop Checking The Price" you will LEARN HOW TO:Follow the 1st Law of Investing for maximum long-term compounding… And why the "risk-return trade-off" is backwards. Use "80-20 Rule" to cut your research time and stock trading effort down by 99%. Filter bad apples (stocks) before they spoil the whole barrel (portfolio). Steal a page from the venture capitalist's playbook for explosive growth… And how to beat Warren Buffett! Set a timer and evaluate any stock in 60 seconds from a data snapshot.  
Don't get lost in the blurry pixels – ZOOM OUT!

    Mental Health, specifically anxiety, is the number one health issue worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). This mind-illness is a tragic situation, but what is even more tragic is science, philosophy, and religion don't know what the mind is! How can you expect to alleviate anxiety when you don't understand the foundation? 
Mind Refreshed broaches the crux of the matter. This book is a practical workbook following Sam Kneller's Mind-Body Problem Solved, where he explains what consciousness and mind are based on theology. Genesis 2:7 says God breathed neshama (the breath of life) into each human. This is consciousness. Job 32:8 reveals there's a second spirit in humans, the ruach. These two spirits work intimately to confer on humans their humanity. 
Humanity can be summarized by the five traits of consciousness each human possesses: Reasoning, Purpose, Conduct, Socialization, and Rulership. When these traits are in alignment, there is a sense of peacefulness; the opposite leads to anxiety. 
The key point to remember is that this mental makeup applies to all human beings regardless of race, beliefs, or gender. The solution to anxiety is Biblical, but it applies to all people because everyone possesses consciousness and a mind. Every person is diverse because each of us uses or misuses the above five traits differently. 
Alleviating anxiety involves identifying the most manageable barriers to hurdle in these five areas of our lives and replacing them with doorways to walk through. The real question is, what are the doorways, and where do we find them? 
Mind Refreshed reveals this. It is a practical workbook that will help you alleviate your anxiety slowly but surely and replace it with the peace you crave.

    Akhenaten, originally named Amenhotep IV, emerged as one of ancient Egypt’s most enigmatic and controversial pharaohs. His rise to power marked the beginning of a transformative period in Egyptian history, characterized by significant religious, cultural, and political changes. Born into the illustrious 18th Dynasty, Akhenaten was the son of Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye. As a young prince, he was not initially destined for the throne, but circumstances eventually positioned him as the successor. 
Upon ascending to the throne, Akhenaten quickly distinguished himself from his predecessors. Unlike his father, whose reign was marked by prosperity and relative stability, Akhenaten pursued a path that would challenge long-established traditions. Initially, he ruled under the name Amenhotep IV, signifying continuity with the Amun-centric religious practices. However, early in his reign, he began to favor the worship of Aten, the sun disk, over the traditional pantheon. This inclination marked the first signs of his radical departure from convention. 
One of the most significant acts of his reign was the changing of his name from Amenhotep IV to Akhenaten, which means "Effective for Aten." This change was not merely symbolic but an open declaration of his devotion to Aten, marking a clear break from the established worship of Amun and other deities. By adopting this new identity, Akhenaten positioned himself as the earthly representative of the sun disk, consolidating both religious and political authority in his hands.
