  A bold examination of how Paleolithic wisdom could solve our 21st century problems 
   
  Jessica Carew Kraft, an urban wife and mom of two, was firmly rooted in the modern world, complete with a high-powered career in tech and the sneaking suspicion that her lifestyle was preventing her and her family from truly thriving.  
   
  Determined to find a better way, Jessica quit her job and set out to learn about “rewilding” from people who reject the comforts and convenience of civilization by using ancient tools and skills to survive. Along the way, she learned how to turn sticks into fire, stones into axes, and  
  bones into tools for harvesting wild food—and found an entire community walking the path back from our technologyfocused, anxiety-ridden way of life to a simpler, more human experience. 
   
  Weaving deep research and reportage with her own personal journey, Jessica tells the remarkable story of the potential benefits rewilding has for us and our planet and questions what it truly means to be a human in today’s world. Why We Need to Be Wild is a thought-provoking,  
  unforgettable narrative that illuminates how we survived in the past, how we live now, and how each of us can choose to thrive in the years ahead.

  C S Lewis in America - Readings...

  "An invaluable assessment of Lewis's reception in the United States, offering important insights into both Lewis's significance and the distinctives of the American religious mind." – Alister McGrath, Oxford University
  Perhaps no other literary figure has transformed the American religious landscape in recent history as much as C. S. Lewis. Even before the international publication and incredible success of his fictional works such as The Chronicles of Narnia or apologetic works like Mere Christianity, Lewis was already being read "across the pond" in America. But who exactly was reading his work? And how was he received?
  With fresh research and shrewd analysis, this volume by noted historian Mark A. Noll considers the surprising reception of Lewis among Roman Catholic, mainline Protestant, and evangelical readers to see how early readings of the Oxford don shaped his later influence.
  Based on the annual lecture series hosted at Wheaton College's Marion E. Wade Center, volumes in the Hansen Series reflect on the imaginative work and lasting influence of seven British authors: Owen Barfield, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Dorothy L. Sayers, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams.

  We are all patient with beginners, extending compassionate grace to anyone learning a new skill. But what about the woman just beginning her marriage journey? What about the woman, ten years in, who still wishes she had a marriage manual to help make sense of challenges she never anticipated?  
  Discover a fresh marriage manual that offers practical wisdom illustrated through the author’s personal stories and experiences over the course of her four decade marriage. Each chapter is uniquely devoted to one of the critical characteristics the author deems essential to a happy marriage. Whether 12 weeks or 12 years in, this book extends understanding and hope to those still learning the ins and outs of marriage: those whom the author calls–beginner wives. 
  From the Introduction: 
  “I’ll let you in on a little secret: Other women don’t have perfect husbands; they’ve simply learned how to enjoy the husbands they have! In this book I share what worked for me, where I missed the mark (so you don’t have to), and how establishing and sharing a core set of values with my husband not only influenced my early years of becoming a wife, but also how I balanced that role with being a mother of six children. I’ve devoted each chapter to the critical characteristics that I’ve found to be essential to a happy marriage. And the best part is that each of these characteristics is available to you if you’re willing to do the work. 
  "If you’re a woman who wants to prepare for a marriage she doesn’t have yet, and then carry the honeymoon phase through to the very end, this book is for you. If you’re a woman looking to thrive in your marriage, and gain the tools to consistently support and elevate each other through all of life’s seasons, this book is for you. If you're a woman who wants to be intentional about actually enjoying — not resenting — your husband and your marriage, then this book is for you. Welcome!”

  The Autists - Women on the Spectrum

  • 0

  An incisive and deeply candid account that explores autistic women in culture, myth, and society through the prism of the author's own diagnosis. 
   
   
   
  Until the 1980s, autism was regarded as a condition found mostly in boys. Even in our time, autistic girls and women have largely remained undiagnosed. When portrayed in popular culture, women on the spectrum often appear simply as copies of their male counterparts—talented and socially awkward. 
   
   
   
  Yet autistic women exist, and always have. They are varied in their interests and in their experiences. Autism may be relatively new as a term and a diagnosis, but not as a way of being and functioning in the world. It has always been part of the human condition. So who are these women, and what does it mean to see the world through their eyes? 
   
   
   
  In The Autists, Clara Törnvall reclaims the language to describe autism and explores the autistic experience in arts and culture throughout history. From popular culture, films, and photography to literature, opera, and ballet, she dares to ask what it might mean to re-read these works through an autistic lens—what we might discover if we allow perspectives beyond the neurotypical to take center stage.

  Washington - A Legacy of Leadership

  Dr. Paul Vickery

  His name is carved in granite, his likeness cast in bronze, his legend as large as the role he played as America's first president. But before he was a commander-in-chief, George Washington was a general in a revolution that would decide the future of the people and land he called his own. If victorious, he would gain immortality. If defeated, he would find his neck in a hangman's noose. 
  Washington knew the sting of defeat—at Brandywine, at Germantown—yet this unwavering leadership and his vision for a new and independent nation emboldened an army prepared to fight barefoot if necessary to win that independence. Wrote an officer after the Battle of Princeton:  "I saw him brave all the dangers of the field and his important life hanging as it were by a single hair with a thousand deaths flying around him." 
  Among America's pantheon of Founding Fathers, one man to this day stands out.  Author Paul Vickery tracks the unlikely rise of Washington, a man whose stature in command of a young army became prelude to a presidency. As Vickery writes, "He learned to become the father of our country by first being the father of our military."
