Each piece stands out for its sharp insights and articulate arguments, constructing a panoramic view of American letters. The inclusion of seminal essays by influential literary figures like George Jean Nathan, alongside the celebrated work of H. L.

    We live in an age uniquely attentive to the problem of mental illness. More than half of us will be diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder at some point in our lifetime. It has been easy, for centuries, to relegate persistent emotional and mental struggles entirely to the realm of a failed personal work ethic ("Just don't worry so much!"), not enough faith ("Just pray harder!"), or, in recent years, a chemical imbalance in our brains ("Just take this pill!"). Yet, for those of us who live with mental illness, none of these suggestions provides the quick relief it promises, and the continued struggle takes its toll on our already burdened hearts and minds. 
     
     
     
    In All Who Are Weary, Emmy Kegler joins the listener on the long walk of reflection, understanding, and compassion, calling followers of Jesus back to ancient practices of lament, vulnerability, honesty, community, and hope. This book is not a map to a cure, nor a perfectly restorative prayer. Written with a wide community in mind—patients, but also parents and partners, coworkers and friends, pastors and therapists, and the whole church—All Who Are Weary points to the embodied grace known in Jesus, trusting in the promise of a lighter load for all.

    Are you curious about the nature of time-space and the dynamics of human lives within it? Dive into this book and explore these fascinating concepts.
     
    Time, the fundamental dynamo, leads the union with space, its perennial partner. Together, they frame a vast and restless cosmos where all individual has their unique time and place. Yet, humans do not survive alone; they share this beautiful but tiny planetary homestead with many 
    other species.
     
    While humans walk upon Planet Earth, they simultaneously scan the stars, probing the unfolding saga of their home planet and the entire cosmos:‘Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are…’
     
    This book combines insights from history, physics, geography, and literature – not forgetting songs. The opening section reveals how humans live, remember, forget, and think through time. The next section highlights key features of time and explains why denying time is nonsensical.
     
    The final section surveys the collective human journey through time-space. Humans are a complex species, capable of both deceit and trust, hatred and love, conflict and cooperation. Yet, slowly, they are creating international networks and a global civics. This exciting trend is 
    crucial, especially in responding effectively to today’s urgent climate crisis on Planet Earth.

    Every child is born with a spark—a unique gift waiting to shine. As parents, we often marvel at the small things our children do. A scribble that tells a story, a question that shows deep curiosity, a dance that seems to come from the heart—these moments are more than just childhood innocence. They are glimpses of the gem within. 
    But how often do we pause to truly observe? In the rush of daily life, it’s easy to miss the subtle signals that hint at a child’s hidden talents. What if, with a little patience and a lot of love, we could unearth those treasures and help our children thrive in ways we never imagined? 
    This book is not about turning children into prodigies or pressuring them to succeed. It’s about discovery—finding the joy in helping your child explore their passions, strengths, and unique potential. It’s about listening to the unspoken language of their play, their choices, and their dreams. 
    "Finding the Gem" is your guide to this journey. Through practical techniques, inspiring stories, and thoughtful insights, you’ll learn how to observe, nurture, and support your child in ways that let their natural abilities shine. This is not a roadmap to perfection; it’s an invitation to partner with your child on their journey of growth and self-discovery. 
    Every gem is unique, and so is every child. Let’s begin the adventure of finding and polishing the gem within your child, so they can sparkle in a way that is truly their own.

    I recently saw several predictions by well-known seers of the future that there will be a huge natural disaster in June/July of 2025. 
    Whether a disaster from a comet crashing into the Earth, a huge volcanic eruption or earthquake or a nuclear war; the likelihood of humanity suffering a period of global cooling is that it will happen—and has already happened in the past. 
    Disasters could actually cause global cooling for months or years. In trying to lookup any books on how to individuals and society should handle global cooling I couldn’t find anything. So I decided to write a manual dealing with this issue. 
    This manual has five parts: 
    Part One-Understanding the Threat 
    Part Two-Preparation and Prevention 
    Part Three-Surviving the Freeze 
    Part Four-Rebuilding in the ICE 
    Part Five-Looking Forward 
    Historical examples of how mankind dealt with global cooling in the past are included as well as lots of advice on how to recognize this process happening to our world, and how to deal with the consequences. 
    Survival for both individuals and society, and how to plan for the future. 
    I hope this situation never happens in our lifetimes but this book might be an aid to survival in those circumstances.
