  Descriptions and Prescriptions -...

  OCD, ADHD, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder . . . these are not just diagnoses from the DSM; they are part of our everyday vocabulary and understanding of people. As Christians, how should we think about psychiatric diagnoses and their associated treatments?We can't afford to isolate ourselves and simply dismiss these categories as unbiblical. Nor can we afford to accept the entire secular psychiatric diagnostic and treatment enterprise at face value as though Christian Scripture is irrelevant for these complex mental struggles. Instead, we need a balanced, biblically (and scientifically!) informed approach that is neither too warmly embracing nor too coldly dismissive of psychiatric labels and the psychiatric medications that are often prescribed.Biblical counselor and retired physician, Michael R. Emlet, gives readers a helpful way forward on these important issues as he guides lay and professional helpers in the Christian church through the thicket of mental health diagnoses and treatments in a clear, thoughtful primer in which the Bible informs our understanding of psychiatric diagnoses and the medications that are often recommended based on those labels.This first book in the Helping the Helper series will give readers biblical, gospel-formed categories that will help them understand and minister to those who are struggling with mental health issues.

  Why Psychedelics Destroy Your Mind

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  There is a secret everyone in the psychedelic world knows but almost nobody admits. It haunts ceremony circles and whispers through integration groups. Every serious long-term user knows: there is always a last trip. Not a difficult journey or challenging night—a complete system failure. The one that breaks the psyche, shatters stability so completely that the person never touches these substances again. The one that tears open trauma they cannot integrate, induces panic or dissociation that persists for years, destroys their ability to trust their own mind. After that trip, they are done—not because they chose to stop, but because their nervous system finally said enough. In that moment, the illusion collapses. The medicine was never medicine. The awakening was never awakening. It was all just the nervous system being pushed beyond its limits until something broke. The psychedelic renaissance arrived with extraordinary promises: heal trauma that therapy could not touch, dissolve the ego that meditation takes decades to soften, reveal cosmic truths. But a drug is a drug. It does not matter what cultural packaging surrounds it or whether a shaman serves it. If a chemical forces consciousness into states it would not otherwise occupy, that is a drug.

  Ten drafts to complete a PhD is a book of propulsive purpose. Only 1% of the world's population holds a PhD. But attrition rates remain high.  Tara Brabazon provides a concrete strategy to complete a doctorate.  Structured through ten drafts, the goal is to - iteratively - improve the PhD dissertation or thesis to enable a successful examination. 
  Each chapter of this book offers a guide through a specific draft and focus for the thesis. From transitions to references, from a Significant Original Contribution to Knowledge (SOCK) through to the introduction and conclusion, this book takes a raw, messy and fragmented first draft and creates a PhD of meaning, purpose and excellence.

  At an age when most are aiming for retirement, Bob Higgins moved to Uganda with his wife Carol. Over the course of fourteen years, they trained church leaders with the International School of Ministry video curriculum, provided clean water to rural communities, and ran a mobile clinic while establishing a home for children orphaned by rebel warfare in Northern Uganda. Initially resistant to the idea of taking on the continual care of so many orphans, their Otino Waa Children's Village soon became home to hundreds of children. Bob's retelling of the origins of PATH Ministries shows that God can do extraordinary things through faithful service in difficult places.

  In today's world, something strange is happening: Celebrities like Kat Von D and Russell Brand are embracing Catholicism, finding allure in its newfound status as a counter-cultural symbol among media personalities, influencers, and the literati. Tech titans like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are shirking the rationalist modus-operandi, making open allusions to the arcane, and even funding research into occult phenomena.This unexpected shift raises pressing questions: What is driving these influential individuals in secular liberal democracies to embrace ancient religious institutions, fringe mysticism, and what only a decade ago would have been ridiculed as conspiracy?Late-Stage Babylon delves into this post-secular spiritual crisis, offering insights and guidance in navigating these turbulent swings of the spiritual pendulum. 
  As we enter a new age where the arcane and the obscure hold sway, Late-Stage Babylon serves as a guide, illuminating the path forward in the murky territory that's been brought about by the resurgence of long-dormant forces in the collective psyche.
