The currently unfolding ecological catastrophe is the result of more than just deforestation, fossil fuel extraction, and factory farming. Behind the immediate causes of the degradation of our environment lies something else: a deeply rooted but ultimately absurd understanding of our place in the universe. Through a series of encounters with a striking array of protagonists - from revolutionary physicists and embattled philosophers to subsistence hunters and Himalayan shamans - The Soul in the Stone exposes the incoherence of the barren, human-centered perspective dominant in most societies today. It recommends instead an alternative worldview: one that acknowledges and honors non-human experience and, precisely because it does, is both more logically consistent and more fulfilling. And might just save the planet.Show book
"An engaging glimpse into a world both fascinating and fundamentally unknowable to those who aren't born into it." —R. E. BURRILLO, author of Behind the Bears Ears Craig Childs bears witness to rock art of the Colorado Plateau—bighorn sheep pecked behind boulders, tiny spirals in stone, human figures with upraised arms shifting with the desert light, each one a portal to the open mouth of time. With a spirit of generosity, humility, and love of the arid, intricate landscapes of the desert Southwest, Childs sets these ancient communications in context, inviting listeners to look and listen deeply.Show book

This WWII combat history vividly recounts the exploits of the US 66th Armored Regiment from its initial formation to D-Day and the Race for Berlin. The U.S. 66th Armored Regiment was the only American heavy tank unit to see combat in World War I. By the time America went to war in Europe a second time, it was on the cutting edge of armored warfare. From its baptism of fire in the mud of the Western Front in 1918 to its triumphant march into Berlin in July 1945, Iron Knights tells the story of this legendary regiment. When the Great War ended, the 66th Armored Regiment served as a laboratory for new ideas and equipment. After training under Gen. George S. Patton, the 66th distinguished itself in numerous battles during World War II, earning six battle streamers for the unit and a Medal of Honor for one of its officers.Show book

Every aspect of life in today’s world is affected by digital technology, be it the way we communicate, travel, or shop, or even how we identify ourselves. Christians, believing that we are created by a living personal God who revealed himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit and came to us in Jesus Christ, try to make sense of their faith in this digital jungle. iJesus explores the relationship between the culture of God as Trinity in relation to our highly complex digital cultures and reflects on how we as followers and disciples of Jesus Christ can live in a world shaped by digital communication, connectivity and artificial intelligence. In the culture of the Trinity, we see a God who is the source of hospitality and generosity in everything he does and in every way that he reacts with His creation. Nadim Nassar gives a prophetic vision of our faith interacting and being lied out in the changing cultures around us and shows how God can make himself known and understood in a digital age.Show book
