    A complete history of the universe, spanning 13.8 billion years in an ultra-accessible, uncommonly illuminating, exhilarating chronicle of key events 
     
     
     
    In this thrilling history, David Baker captures the longest-possible time span—from the Big Bang to the present day—in an astonishingly concise retelling. His impressive timeline includes the "rise of complexity" in the cosmos and the creation of the first atoms; the origin of all galaxies, stars, and our solar system; and the evolution of life on Earth, from tiny single-celled organisms to human beings. 
     
     
     
    Weaving together insights across the sciences—including chemistry, physics, biology, archaeology, and anthropology—Baker answers the fundamental questions: How did time begin? Why does matter exist? What made life on Earth the way it is? He also argues that never before has life on Earth been forced to adjust to a changing climate so rapidly, nor has one species ever been responsible for such sudden change. Baker's grand view offers the clearest picture of what may come next—and the role we can still play in our planet's fate.

    A no-nonsense, straightforward guide to what AI is, its impact on our world and the next generation, and how Christians should respond to it with wisdom and confidence. 
    There's a lot of hype and fear around artificial intelligence. Joe Carter—associate pastor at McLean Bible Church and senior writer at The Gospel Coalition, avoids both extremes in this timely book, responding to the key questions that so many people have about our future with AI:What is AI, really? Is it just a fancy search engine?Is agentic and generative AI going to keep getting smarter? Will it eventually think like us?Is AI making us worse at relationships?I'm worried about my kids and AI. What should I know? 
    Joe responds to these questions and steers us to the questions that we should be asking:Does the Bible say anything about AI or technology?Can AI give good advice? Should I trust what it tells me?What does the “image of God” actually mean for humanity? 
    By the end of your day, an AI will have filtered the spam from your email, autocompleted your text messages, rerouted your commute to avoid traffic, and recommended a TV show. If the machines had stayed quietly in the background, we would have been fine with them managing these aspects of our lives. But they start talking, and we can no longer pretend that we don't notice them. We are past the point where we can ask whether, as Christians, we should engage with AI. The issue now is only how we will engage. 
    Will we follow the crowd and get caught up in the whiplash of hype and panic? Or will we engage wisely and with biblical discernment so that we can help shape the future of our digital era in a way that glorifies God? 
    Your Soul in an AI World will help you apply timeless biblical wisdom and Christian theology to this new powerful tool.

    Water is the essence of life — yet across the world, it’s vanishing. Rivers are drying, aquifers collapsing, and once-fertile plains turning to dust. From Cape Town to California, scarcity is no longer a distant threat but a daily reality. 
    In The Thirsting Earth, Alex Southwick journeys across a planet running out of its most vital resource. Through powerful reportage and vivid human stories, Southwick uncovers the fault lines where drought, politics, and inequality collide — and where innovation and resilience are beginning to take root. 
    We meet the communities reviving ancient water-harvesting traditions, scientists reimagining desalination, and activists fighting to reclaim water as a common good rather than a commodity. Together, they offer a glimpse of a future where survival depends not on conquest of nature, but on collaboration with it. 
    Urgent, humane, and unforgettable, The Thirsting Earth is both a warning and a testament — a chronicle of crisis, and a call to rediscover our most elemental connection to the world.
