  There is hope in Alzheimer's disease, but it isn't where most people look for it... 
  Any form of dementia is terrifying and lonely for both the one suffering it and for those close to them. How do our relationships with those we love change with loss of memory or clarity of thought? What happens to our relationship with God? 
  For those suffering from early-stage Alzheimer's, for their friends and family, community and church, this book will help you understand the disease itself, how to love and care for those affected by it, and how to see the hope that's greater than it: we may forget, but God always remembers. 
  With pastoral tenderness and gospel confidence, Dr. Benjamin Mast shares his expertise on the subject and displays the power of the gospel that remains intact even when memory fades. Second Forgetting provides:Up-to-date answers to common questions about the disease and its effect on personal identity and faith.Personal stories of those affected and the loved ones who care for them and what their experiences were like—where they found hope and how they most needed support.Practical suggestions for how the church can come alongside families and those struggling or hurting. 
  When a person is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, they face great uncertainty, knowing that they can expect to live their remaining years with increasing confusion and progressively greater reliance upon other people to care for them. Dr. Mast will help you see how Alzheimer's disease cannot have the final say on God's unforgotten children.

  In April 1938, Swift River Valley residents held a farewell ball to mark the demise of the quintessential New England town of Enfield and its three smaller neighbors, Greenwich, Dana, and Prescott. 
   
   
   
  The Commonwealth of Massachusetts sacrificed these three towns to build the Quabbin, a massive reservoir of drinking water for residents of Boston. Three prominent residents attended the somber occasion. Marion Andrews Smith was the last surviving member of an important manufacturing family. Willard "Doc" Segur was the valley's beloved country doctor and town leader. And Edwin Henry Howe was Enfield's postmaster and general store proprietor. They helped build their beloved community for decades, only to watch grief-stricken as it was destroyed by 400 billion gallons of water. 
   
   
   
  Author and historian Elena Palladino recounts the story of these communities as seen through eyes of those who lived there until the end.

  Dark Forces - The Power of...

  Dark forces, often referred to as unseen energies, are the invisible yet powerful forces that can influence our lives, environments, and even the very fabric of the universe. These forces have been a part of human consciousness for centuries, often portrayed in folklore, religion, and mythology. Despite their mysterious nature, dark forces are believed to be an integral aspect of the universe’s energy system. Understanding these forces is not just about acknowledging their existence but also comprehending their role in shaping our physical and psychological experiences. 
  The concept of dark forces can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where they were often associated with spirits, deities, or unseen powers that governed the natural world. In many cultures, these forces were believed to have both a destructive and protective power, often associated with night, the unknown, or the unconscious. Over time, these interpretations evolved, but the central idea remained the same: dark forces were unseen, mysterious, and influential. 
  In modern times, dark forces are understood through the lens of energy dynamics. The idea that everything in the universe is made up of energy is now widely accepted in scientific circles. This energy, however, is not always visible or detectable through conventional means. It is this unseen aspect of energy that gives rise to the concept of dark forces. These forces are believed to operate in the background, influencing our environments and experiences in ways we may not immediately perceive.
