The Integration Journey - A...

William B. Whitney, Carissa...

There are numerous models, theories, and resources on integrating psychology and the Christian faith. But practicing integration in the real world is something else entirely. To move from theory to practice, we need learning informed by experiences, reflection on those experiences, and feedback from others. This integration process is a lifelong journey.
William B. Whitney and Carissa Dwiwardani offer a fresh approach to integration as embodied, lived, and practical. These two seasoned teachers guide students through the process of theological reflection on psychology as part of their spiritual formation and vocation, requiring each person to incorporate their own stories, culture, and experiences. True integration, the authors contend, should work for justice in our churches, communities, and wider society, with particular attention to the marginalized and oppressed.
Using guided exercises and prompts for reflection and discussion, The Integration Journey invites students to make their own contributions to constructing a culturally informed, organic model of integration that works for them. The goal of integrative reflection is ultimately to be shaped so that we can better love God and others and work toward God's kingdom here on earth.

Augustus - Biography of Octavian...

Kelly Mass

Caesar Augustus, originally known as Gaius Octavius, was the first Roman Emperor and one of the most transformative figures in world history. Born into an affluent plebeian family, he belonged to an ancient and influential equestrian branch of the gens Octavia. His path to power began under extraordinary circumstances. Following the assassination of his maternal great-uncle, Julius Caesar, in 44 BC, Octavius was named in Caesar's will as his adopted son and successor. This inheritance not only granted him the prestigious name of Caesar but also gave him control over Caesar’s vast estate and the loyalty of his legions. These legions played a pivotal role in his rise to power, securing his place as one of the most powerful individuals in Roman history.
In the aftermath of Caesar's assassination, the Roman Republic was plunged into chaos, and Octavius, together with Mark Antony and Marcus Lepidus, formed the Second Triumvirate to avenge Caesar's death and secure their political dominance. This alliance, however, was marred by internal strife and competing ambitions. After their victory over Caesar’s assassins at the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC, the Triumvirs divided the Republic’s territories among themselves. Yet, the unity that had characterized their alliance quickly began to erode, as their personal and political ambitions led to inevitable conflict. Lepidus was soon sidelined, and in 36 BC, Antony’s support began to wane, leading to the climactic Battle of Actium in 31 BC. The defeat of Antony, coupled with the subsequent suicide of both Antony and his ally Cleopatra, left Octavian as the undisputed ruler of Rome.

Sea State - A Memoir

Anônimo

A Recommended Read from: Vogue * USA Today * The Los Angeles Times * Publishers Weekly * The Week * Alma * Lit Hub
A stunning and brutally honest memoir that shines a light on what happens when female desire conflicts with a culture of masculinity in crisis
In her midthirties and newly free from a terrible relationship, Tabitha Lasley quit her job at a London magazine, packed her bags, and poured her savings into a six-month lease on an apartment in Aberdeen, Scotland. She decided to make good on a long-deferred idea for a book about oil rigs and the men who work on them. Why oil rigs? She wanted to see what men were like with no women around.
In Aberdeen, Tabitha became deeply entrenched in the world of roughnecks, a teeming subculture rich with brawls, hard labor, and competition. The longer she stayed, the more she found her presence had a destabilizing effect on the men—and her.
Sea State is on the one hand a portrait of an overlooked industry: “offshore” is a way of life for generations of primarily working-class men and also a potent metaphor for those parts of life we keep at bay—class, masculinity, the transactions of desire, and the awful slipperiness of a ladder that could, if we tried hard enough, lead us to security.
Sea State is on the other hand the story of a journalist whose professional distance from her subject becomes perilously thin. In Aberdeen, Tabitha gets high and dances with abandon, reliving her youth, when the music was good and the boys were bad. Twenty years on, there is Caden: a married rig worker who spends three weeks on and three weeks off. Alone and in an increasingly precarious state, Tabitha dives into their growing attraction. The relationship, reckless and explosive, will lay them both bare.
