  A Christian Perspective on Overcoming Cognitive Bias
  So much human behavior can be explained by two motives: we want to be right, and we want to feel good about ourselves. But the tension between these two motives makes us especially vulnerable to bias—and bias distorts our view of the world and of ourselves and can keep us from doing even what we know is right.
  In The Unbiased Self, social psychologist Erin Devers lays out what psychology has discovered about bias and selfishness. To truly overcome cognitive bias, we need a vision of what an unbiased self could look like, stemming from a solid sense of identity—an identity available in Christian faith. Devers explains how a Christian concept of the self can provide the combination of humility with self-confidence that enables unbiased thinking. Using current research and illuminating stories, this book
  
  - describes how "fast" and "slow" thinking work together in everyday life;
  - diagnoses when we're most vulnerable to distorted thinking;
  - considers how regarding every person as a child of God counteracts implicit bias;
  - reveals psychological insights into spiritual formation; and
  - recommends practices for slowing our thinking to seek God's wisdom about our ourselves and others.
  The social sciences offer rich resources for understanding how to reduce stereotyping and prejudice. By thoughtfully integrating them with biblical perspectives on human worth and sin, we gain hopeful, practical guidance on how to perceive the world more accurately and love others more generously.

  Digital Communion - Marshall...

  Marshall McLuhan was the greatest prophet of the digital age. In the 1960s, McLuhan, a Canadian literary theorist, turned his attention toward the budding and befuddling electronic age. Like most prophets, McLuhan became one through a fascination with God. Prophets divine their wisdom from a source, and Digital Communion shows that McLuhan's was his own Catholic faith. In other words, the greatest prophet of the digital age was an ardent Christian. A reconsideration of his vision can change the way we view the online world. 
   
   
   
  A Catholic convert, McLuhan foretold a digital age full of blessings and sins: a world where information was a phone call or keystroke away, but where our new global village could also bring out the worst in us. For him, mass media was a form of Mass. McLuhan thought that while the print world was visual, the electric world—especially television—was a medium of touch. It enveloped us. For McLuhan, God was everywhere, including in the electric light. 
   
   
   
  Digital Communion considers the religious history of mass communication, from the Gutenberg Bible to James Joyce's literary forerunners of hypertextual language to McLuhan's vision of the electronic world as a place of potential spiritual exchange, in order to reveal how we can cultivate a more spiritual vision of the internet—a vision we need now more than ever.

  The Lord's Supper - Our Promised...

  "Do this in remembrance of Me." 
   
  From the very beginning, the Lord's Supper has stood at the heart of Christian worship. But over the years we've trivialized it, squeezing it in between "real" worship. If Jesus lives in us, and the Holy Spirit is poured out on us, why do we need to eat bread and drink grape juice or wine? Does it really matter? 
   
  It does matter--and it's life-changing, says leading Pentecostal theologian Jonathan Black. With warmth and depth, he explores not only how the table is still a powerful place of transformation and encounter with Jesus, but also how we can experience Christ's promise of presence, glory, healing, forgiveness, victory, and intimacy when we answer His call to come to the table. 
   
  Whether you're feeling the lack of His presence, are ashamed of sin in your life, or have never felt anything during Communion, Christ's invitation to partake in His feast is your invitation to taste and see that the Lord is good.

  The word of God declares, “For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). This scripture clearly speaks of the love that God has for the whole world.  This is to include all of creation. Such things as science, government, the stock market, religion, the arts, diets, entertainment, and sports can work for our good, but they become idolatrous when we put our trust in them rather than in God. 
  We must understand that as mankind seeks to find a better way of living, the answers and solutions presented are temporal.  The benefits befall a select group while most suffer continual loss at the expense of those that selfishly gain.  The mindset sets at the helm of governmental powers makes laws and makes decisions that will continue to lead humanity away from the intended purpose of God. 
  We are embarking on some of the most critical times of human existence. As we look at all that is before us in every arena of life, government, political, economic, social, etc.  We will find that there are great difficulties. 
  We are in desperate need of a New Nature of Learning from the realm of man beyond human ability, from a place where only God dwells, Let’s go deep!
