  Have you ever wondered how your brain works, how it makes sense of what you hear and see? Many people do, but then shrug their shoulders and simply get on with using their brain. That's sad; they are missing such a lot! This book is full of fascinating facts and details about the senses, and also covers what happens when things 'go wrong', such as when someone hypnotised sees their friend in two places at once. It also covers more distressing errors, like the PTSD victim who vividly re-experiences their trauma, seeing, hearing and even smelling all the terrifying details again. However, through all these anecdotes and explanations, the book moves inexorably towards the most tantalising question of all: How do we know that we are seeing and hearing things? In these days of 'Alexa' we are familiar with machines that respond to speech, but they don't know that they are. They are merely a particularly sophisticated light switch! So, what do we have that Alexa doesn't? This book takes you on a truly fascinating journey of exploration, in search of the exotic entity that is consciousness.

  From one of the leading grief therapists, this compassionate and accessible guide to grieving offers a new framework for understanding and navigating loss."This gentle book will walk you through the darkest valley. Warm, practical, and kind, it will lift your spirit and tell you the truth—you are not alone." —Kate Bowler, New York Times bestselling author of No Cure for Being HumanConscious Grieving is a book for anyone seeking guidance and support after loss. Renowned grief therapist Claire Bidwell Smith combines her deeply personal experience of loss with her long career spent working with thousands of people to introduce a new approach to grief, one that promotes hope and even transformation.      What does it mean to grieve consciously? Most of the time, when we lose someone we love, it feels like grief is just happening to us. We feel out of control, and overwhelmed. Claire reminds us that while loss is something that inevitably happens to all of us, how we choose to grieve is up to us. When we can consciously engage with our grief, rather than avoiding it, we can access profound pathways to healing.      Presented in a series of thoughtful, brief vignettes that don’t overwhelm the reader, Conscious Grieving offers a new framework for each stage of grief: Entering, Engaging, Surrendering, and Transforming.          Entering – staying present and taking care of ourselves as we navigate the shock and upheaval of a new loss.              Engaging – navigating that first year after a loss by staying in tune with our needs as more complicated feelings of depression, guilt or anger surface.              Surrendering – facing the changes to our identity and who we are becoming in the face of loss.              Transforming – through ritual, honor, hope, and grace, and learning to carry our grief with intention so that we can continue to grow, heal, and thrive.          Grief asks a lot from us. But the ability to grieve is a birthright. Healing means making our lives worth the pain we endure when we lose someone we love. And transforming through grief is an opportunity afforded to all.

  Untangling the Sunday School Stories You Learned from the Biblical History You Haven't   
   
  · Biblical archaeologist unearths the riches of the historical and cultural contexts of the Bible 
  · Unveils God's Word as one glorious, world-changing story 
   
  When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories--Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks--with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events. 
   
  In Stones Still Speak, Harvard-trained archaeologist and theologian Amanda Hope Haley scrapes back 2,000 years of misguided cultural interpretations to reveal God's Word in its historical, archaeological, and literary contexts. Far from a dry academic exercise, this process explains how our misunderstandings developed and revitalizes the Scripture you thought you knew, with the greater purpose of encouraging a more intentional, rigorous study of the Bible in your daily life.
