Sinopse

Metaphor Function explores the profound impact of metaphor, arguing it's not just a linguistic tool but a fundamental cognitive mechanism shaping our understanding of the world. The book reveals how metaphors influence thought processes, allowing us to grasp abstract concepts by relating them to concrete experiences. Interestingly, different cultures employ unique metaphorical systems, encoding their values and beliefs within language.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the cognitive theory of metaphor and its influence on reasoning. It then examines the cultural variability of metaphor, drawing on linguistic and ethnographic studies. Finally, it focuses on the application of metaphor in literary creation, demonstrating how authors use metaphorical language to evoke emotions and convey complex themes.

 
This interdisciplinary approach, connecting cognitive science, cultural studies, and communication studies, provides a holistic understanding of metaphor's multifaceted functions in meaning and communication. The book avoids overly technical jargon, making it accessible to a broad audience interested in Language Arts and Philosophy. By understanding conceptual metaphor, readers can enhance critical thinking skills and foster cultural understanding.

    From the moment they're born, babies seek a loving parental attachment. When that connection is absent, it derails childhood development in ways that can last a lifetime. The annual health costs of illness related to child trauma for North America and Europe alone are 1.3 trillion dollars. Child trauma is much more widespread than previously thought and passes from one generation to the next. But that's not the end of the story—there is overwhelming evidence that this intergenerational transmission can be disrupted. So why isn't the eradication of childhood trauma a tier-one public priority, like defense or growth? 
     
     
     
    In Trauma Proof, Benjamin Perks argues that it must be, and that we can tackle it as a public health problem like COVID-19, by 1) making sure everyone is aware of the risk; 2) preventing transmission; and 3) opening pathways to healing. Perks shows we have the tools to make these three things happen, and the evidence to show they work. Psychology, neuroscience, and medicine have made huge leaps in the past twenty-five years. We now know what causes Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), how to reduce them, and how to address them. For the first time in history, we know child mistreatment is not inevitable. Trauma Proof is a rallying call to address child trauma as the public health crisis it is—because we can do better for kids, and we should.

    Are you trapped in a narcissistic relationship and unsure how to break free and reclaim your sense of self? 
    Narcissists and empaths can be the most toxic combination one can ever come across. An empath is a person with a strong need to feel compassion and empathy for others, with the grandiose ability to tune into others’ emotions. This makes empaths vulnerable to the “energy vampires” that they inevitably attract, due to their natural ability to provide for others.

    - Your needs and feelings seem always to be sidelined or ignored. 
    - You find yourself walking on eggshells, afraid of triggering your partner's anger or criticism. 
    - You've started doubting your own perceptions and feelings, wondering if you're the one at fault. 
    - You feel isolated from friends and family because of your relationship. 
    - Your partner oscillates between charming affection and cold indifference. 
    - You're experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, linked to your relationship dynamics. 
    - You keep hoping for a change in your partner, clinging to the good moments, despite the pain. 
    Here's a little sneak preview of what you’ll get: 
    - Narcissistic Relationships 
    - Psychic Abilities 
    - Guided Meditations to Avoid Manipulation

  • The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence - cover

    The Death of Omnipotence and...

    Omnipotence is dead. 
    At least it should be. It has no biblical support. And it dies a death of a thousand qualifications in philosophy. 
    Those harmed and hurting wonder why an omnipotent and loving God doesn't prevent pointless pain. The problem of evil buries omnipotence six feet under. 
    But the death of omnipotence is not the death of God. 
    In this ground-breaking book, best-selling and award-winning author Thomas Jay Oord explains why omnipotence should be rejected. But Oord offers a replacement: amipotence, the power of love. 
    If we think love shapes and guides God's power, we make better sense of life. We make better sense of the Bible. Amipotence explains why God doesn't prevent genuine evil and it overcomes other obstacles to belief. An amipotent Spirit empowers all that is loving, true, beautiful, and good. 
    No book makes a bolder but more needed argument for why God is not all-powerful. Those who care about God, love, scripture, and logic will find what they've long been looking for.

    Endorsements: 
    "Omnipotence has long been considered a basic, non-negotiable, characteristic of God. But is it biblical? And does it push us toward theological landmines that blow up faith? In this book, Oord, with his typical gentle candor, lays out the complex issues in clear and readable chunks. In the end, Oord points to the beauty and comfort of a God who is uncontrolling love." 
    - Peter Enns, professor of biblical studies at Eastern University, author of Curveball
