Synopsis

Sunken Beacons explores the hidden world of lighthouses lost to the sea, examining these maritime landmarks as symbols of humanity's ongoing struggle against coastal erosion and the growing threat of climate change. These structures, once beacons of hope and navigation, now serve as underwater monuments, offering unique insights into both our engineering triumphs and environmental oversights. The book uncovers intriguing facts, like how some lighthouses succumbed not only to natural forces but also to engineering miscalculations, revealing a complex interplay of factors leading to their demise.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical significance and geographical distribution of these "sunken beacons," then moves to analyze specific case studies, highlighting construction details, operational histories, and the engineering flaws that contributed to their collapse. It further examines the impact of rising sea levels, connecting historical data with contemporary climate science. This approach blends historical research with underwater archaeology, enhancing the book's value by presenting a narrative that is both informative and engaging for a broad audience interested in history, travel, and environmental issues.

Cannabis and the Christian -...

Todd Miles

What does the Bible say about marijuana? If it doesn’t directly address marijuana, how can Christians know what to make of the legalization of recreational cannabis and the advocacy of medical marijuana?  In the past, Christians could easily answer the question of whether or not it was permissible to use cannabis by deferring to state prohibitions. We could simply say, “it’s against the law.” Today, that answer is no longer possible. Christians are now forced to do what they should have been doing all along: Think like disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and bring to bear the wisdom of the sufficient Word of God.   Since cannabis is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, we must understand what it is and how it affects the user. We also must understand what the Bible says about discipleship, healing, suffering, and what it is to be human. Only then can we answer the critical questions regarding the recreational use and the medical use of cannabis.  In Cannabis and the Christian, Todd Miles gives listeners:  Biblical wisdom applied to the question of recreational cannabis  Biblical wisdom related to the medical use of cannabis  A grid to think through other ethical questions that aren’t directly addressed in the Bible  Confidence to respond to challenging issues standing on the sufficient Word of God
