  The ancient Israelites introduced one of the first monotheistic religions in the world. And it is still practiced today! 
  The ancient Israelites emerged from Mount Sinai onto the hilly plains of Canaan and established a civilization that endured for hundreds of years.  
  Even when the Israelites fell to incursions from foreign invaders and were subjected to torture and exile, they held fast to their belief system. They emerged from the Babylonian captivity as the people of Yehud. With the aid of Cyrus the Great and the Achaemenid Empire, they rebuilt their sacred temple and got back on their feet. 
  However, the Greeks and the Romans presented unique challenges to the Judeans. The Hellenization period threatened the foundation of Judaism and the commitment of the Jews to their faith due to forced conversions and the practice of Jewish customs being punishable by death. Regardless, the Jews persevered, and their faith and their steadfastness hold great significance today. 
  This audiobook offers a deep dive into the history of the ancient Israelites and how they rose from nomadic tribes to establish a kingdom and a unique identity in Judea. 
  By listening to this audiobook, you will discover the following: How the ancient Israelites ended up in Canaan and began to build a civilizationThe establishment of the United Kingdom of IsraelThe split of the United Kingdom of Israel and the Babylonian invasion of the Kingdom of JudeaThe Achaemenid liberation of the Jews and the formation of Yehud MedinataThe period and process of Hellenization commenced by the Greeks and the resulting Maccabean Revolt, which gave birth to the Hasmonean dynasty The end of the Hasmoneans and the formation of the Herodian dynastyAnd so much more!

  Catholics and Contempt - How...

  John L. Allen

  The culture of contempt—the lust to wound perceived opponents who are seen not just as wrong but as evil—has become global in scope. Fed by the rise of “cheap speech” in media, seismic shifts in digital technology, and a boom industry based on selling outrage, people are increasingly unable to understand, much less dialogue with, their ideological rivals. The Catholic Church understands itself as the evangelizer of culture; yet this culture of contempt has evangelized much of the Church. A distressing range of Catholic media platforms and commentators have introduced the poison of contempt into the heart of Catholic life—and with exacting fidelity. In this timely and important new book, Vatican journalist and Crux Editor John L. Allen Jr. offers a bracing analysis of our fractured Catholic media landscape. Examining six case studies of the culture of contempt wounding the Church—four from around the globe, and two from the United States—Allen offers not only a sobering look at the direction Catholic media has headed, but an urgent call for it to change course.

  Nothing But Wickedness delves into society's subtle—and some not so subtle—transgressions that contribute to the decline of our culture. Theodore Dalrymple, drawing on his extensive experience as an inner-city GP and prison psychiatrist, examines the underlying factors that drive societal behaviours and self-deception. The book covers a range of thought-provoking topics, including what drives doctors to work for dictators, the benefits of idleness, understanding the mindset of Hitler, why doctors collect body parts, the true meaning of illness, and how war can paradoxically advance medicine. This wide-ranging exploration is a compelling read for the intelligent reader and the Theodore Dalrymple fan. Dalrymple's insights offer a unique perspective on the complexities of human behaviour and cultural decline. Whether you are intrigued by the benefits of idleness, fascinated by the darker side of human nature, or interested in historical and psychological analyses, Nothing But Wickedness promises to be an enlightening and engaging read ranging across many genres.

  Split - a life shared: living...

  How does a child survive years of unimaginable abuse? 
  She splits. 
  And splits again. And again. And again. 
  And she does survive. But not without consequences. 
  As a young adult, years after her physical abuse has ended, Maggie Walters struggles with an 
  unpredictable temper and socially difficult behaviour. After several false starts she finds a therapist 
  who she trusts, just enough, to start talking about the childhood locked away behind the anger and 
  isolation she has learnt to live with. 
  Eventually she is diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder, MPD (now known as Dissociative 
  Identity Disorder or DID). 
  Gradually, she understands. It was not Maggie who survived her childhood. The instinct to survive 
  created an alternative identity called Annie, who with a myriad of other ‘alters’, lived through the 
  abuse inflicted on her. 
  Decades later, with a husband and three much-loved children, Maggie strives to live a normal life 
  despite a past which has left her internal world with a hidden, dark secret. Every day, unseen by 
  those around her, trigger incidents fill her head with voices, the chaotic remnants of her other selves 
  who lived the childhood she couldn’t. This is the ‘normal’ which Maggie has learned to live with. 
  In SPLIT Maggie tells the story of managing this ‘normal’, of understanding and accepting her past, 
  and standing strong in the life she has built from the ashes of her broken childhood. 
  It is a story not only of survival, but of self-acceptance, of the triumph to simply live. You will not 
  read another book like it.
