Summary

Why allow yourself to be dominated linguistically by the lowest common denominator?  If the 607 words in this book have fallen out of common use in the English language, it is neither from design nor function; it is from too many of us being reluctant to use a word which our listeners or readers might not understand.  Jack's Handy List of Words, and its 607 often lighthearted illustrative sentences, is intended to reverse this trend, bring many of the interesting words back into more common use, and allow the reader to have fun learning or re-learning the intricacies of a higher vocabulary in English.  It hits the mark from A to Z.

    We're all infected with a spiritual disease. Its name is shame. Whether we realize it or not, shame affects every aspect of our personal lives and vocational endeavors. It seeks to destroy our identity in Christ, replacing it with a damaged version of ourselves that results in unhealed pain and brokenness. But God is telling a different story for your life. Psychiatrist Curt Thompson unpacks the soul of shame, revealing its ubiquitous nature and neurobiological roots. He also provides the theological and practical tools necessary to dismantle shame, based on years of researching its damaging effects and counseling people to overcome those wounds. Thompson's expertise and compassion will help you identify your own pains and struggles and find freedom from the lifelong negative messages that bind you.
