Sinopsis

Thunder Kings: Rulers, Gods, and Warriors of Divine Wrath explores the enduring connection between meteorological phenomena like lightning and storms, and figures of immense divine or mortal power across different cultures. The book investigates how societies have consistently linked rulers, gods, and warriors to these powerful forces, revealing insights into ancient belief systems and power structures. For example, figures like Zeus/Jupiter, Thor, and Indra embody this connection, each wielding the power of storms and lightning in their respective mythologies. This book dives into the prevalence of storm imagery in leadership, religious practices, and martial traditions. It examines how various cultures conceptualized these natural forces and the figures manifesting them. 

 
The book progresses by first introducing fundamental concepts, then examining specific "Thunder Kings" in detail, analyzing their attributes and roles. Finally, it synthesizes these findings, arguing for the universality of the "Thunder King" archetype and its lasting influence on art, literature, and political thought. 

 
Thunder Kings offers readers a multifaceted perspective by bridging religious studies, history, and art history. It demonstrates that the association of rulers, gods, and warriors with lightning and storms is not coincidental, but a recurring motif signifying ultimate power, both destructive and creative. By analyzing ancient texts, archaeological findings, and artistic representations, the book provides a comprehensive overview of these fascinating figures and their impact on civilization.

    The ocean is filled with scientific discoveries—and God’s presence.  For marine biologist Rachel Jordan, both science and Scripture are means of knowing creation and Creator. In If the Ocean Has a Soul, Rachel considers the natural world through a spiritual lens, meshing marine biology with biblical truths in a keen and current take on faith and science. With engaging storytelling and deep knowledge of the Bible, she asks and answers questions like:  How can Christians reconcile religion and science when the two seem opposed?  What do suffering and death teach us about the character of Jesus?  How do we care for the environment when there seems to be little hope for repair?  What do the ocean and its sea creatures, specifically, reveal about God?  In these chapters, Rachel recounts fascinating aquatic phenomena alongside the sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic stories of animals she has known. You’ll lose yourself in the shadows of an underwater labyrinth; hear spiritual wisdom from a great-grandmother coral the size of a Volkswagen Beetle; and fall in love with Porky, the pudgy porcupinefish greeting visitors at the Windjammer shipwreck. And along the way, you’ll see how the promise of restoration unfolds in both physical and spiritual ways. Rachel’s thoughtful scientific and theological insights encourage us to know the Creator of the sea and everything in it.

    For the first time ever, love letters consciously written by elders of one geologic epoch to the young of another. 
     
     
     
    Our children's and grandchildren's generation will face a different world, one affected by climate instability, mass uncertainty, and breathtaking extinction. In fact, the next generation will face the reality that human activity is changing the planet from one geological epoch to another. 
     
     
     
    From this vantage point—two generations across two geological epochs facing a fundamentally changing planet—Larry Rasmussen writes to his grandchildren. As a grandfather invested in a green earth and climate justice as well as a scholar of faith-based earth ethics, Rasmussen bridges this gap between generations to write to the future about climate change, global citizenship, democracy, and legacy. In topics ranging from "A Viable Way of Life" and "Democracy" to "Where We've Come From" and "Who We Are Now," Rasmussen explores the large questions of justice, meaning, and faith, encouraging us to speak to and look to the future generation and their future world.

    Blair Linne can tell you exactly when the ground under her feet fell through. Starting in 2015, she experienced crippling anxiety and panic attacks that spiraled her down a staircase into a basement of dark discouragement and shame. Sometimes, the journey downward was so intense it landed her in the emergency room. Like many Christians, Blair knew she “should” cast her frustrations onto God and process with him, but instead found herself crying out: “I. Don’t. Know. How!"In the harrowing season that followed—through the episodes of terror, rapid heart rate, difficulty breathing, trembling, dizziness, chills, intrusive thoughts, and even the fear of dying—Blair learned just how quickly she would have to give up the typical quick fixes, simple answers, and theological band-aids she had previously relied on. As the anxiety waves came crashing over her, many times without warning and without permission, she realized the truth: this was a complex issue, and there was no bypassing it. No sprinkling it with wishful thinking or spiritual platitudes. No willing herself out of it as if she were a bulletproof demigod.The only way was through it, in tender awareness of her weakness and delicate humanity, with God.On this side of the valley, Blair has come to appreciate even the worst moments of her story, for it has given her a deeper understanding of what it means to be human, what it actually means to lean into the Lord, and what it looks like to walk with a limp and a love for fellow strugglers. With profound lessons learned on the other side, Blair now rejoices in her affliction, for it has taught her to tremble in a new way: in awe of God.With biblical reflection woven together with gripping narrative, journey with Blair in Made to Tremble and experience not only the God of Peace—but the peace of God.
