  Becoming Spiritually Intelligent...

  This first-of-its-kind guide to spiritual intelligence—rooted in attachment theory, Christian formation, and the science of spirituality—helps us develop healthy attachments, grow into our most secure selves, and love others in the way God loves. With the care of a pastor and the rigor of a researcher, Paul M. Burns gives us practical ways to develop our spiritual intelligence. Becoming a spiritually intelligent person means cultivating an attachment to God, learning self-differentiation, and nurturing empathy. Burns outlines nine paths toward "lovingness," such as the path of sensing God's nearness and the path of self-regulation. 
   
   
   
  Understanding the human psyche—a word that derives from the Greek for "soul"—can help us grow in Christlike love. How do our earliest attachments shape our sense of who God is? How might stories from Scripture resonate anew when we read them through the lens of attachment theory and brain science? Each chapter offers a spiritual intelligence practice, reflection questions, and a prayer to help us translate emotional and spiritual insights into everyday life. 
   
   
   
  Reminiscent of the work of Richard Foster, Ruth Haley Barton, and Ronald Rolheiser, Becoming Spiritually Intelligent is an authoritative guide to emotional health, relational intimacy, and spiritual growth.

  My Body and Other Crumbling...

  Lyndsey Medford

  As a writer, activist, and theology student, Lyndsey Medford was used to critiquing unsustainable medical, environmental, economic, and social systems from a theoretical perspective. But when her autoimmune disorder roared out of remission, she discovered that her own body's systems lived at the very real vortex of all those systems' dysfunction. 
   
   
   
  Learning to cooperate with her body would require her to change every aspect of her life—and in the process, to seek a radical reimagining of the world, from a place where sickness is an individual affliction to an interdependent ecosystem where sustainability is a community way of life. In this beautiful and inspiring book, Medford draws on her experiences with a rare autoimmune disease to illuminate the broader lessons we need to learn, in order to heal what ails us individually and communally. Whether our burnout stems from illness, systemic racism, poverty, or simply sin's separation, we're all in need of hope, and we are called to heal together. 
   
   
   
  My Body and Other Crumbling Empires points out the beauty and ubiquity of our limitations; the importance of accessibility, broadly construed; the interconnected nature of individual and public health; and the badly needed wisdom we have gained from living with our particular bodies.

  She needs a champion. He needs one less person to worry about. Selena Lockhart comes with neither dowry nor connections, and she knows better than to expect Society to give her a welcome—especially after her father gambled away his fortune, precipitating the family’s sudden fall from grace and Selena’s betrothed to break off their engagement. It therefore comes as no surprise that her new neighbor, Sir Lucius, treats her with disdain. Why should he look beyond appearances when her own promises so little?  Sir Lucius Clavering is not married, but he may as well be, considering he is expected to escort his widowed mother to watering holes, round out the numbers at his married sister’s dinners, and come to the aid of his scapegrace younger siblings. It doesn’t help that single women and matchmaking mamas jostle each other to claim his face, fortune, and title so that he’s left without a moment’s peace.  When Selena shows up at Lucius’s doorstep looking for help, he is sure it’s another ploy aimed at cutting up his prized bachelor existence. Although his prejudice does not last long, Lucius fears his first reaction might have ruined his chances with her. How can he save her from Society’s teeth when she continues to hold him at arm’s length?

  In this haunting and deeply moving tale, Hans Christian Andersen weaves a powerful contrast between the serenity of the natural world and the heavy burdens of the human soul. A Story follows an earnest pastor whose thunderous sermons warn of eternal punishment—yet outside his church, the world is radiant with warmth, blossoms, birdsong, and the quiet kindness of creation. 
  When tragedy strikes and his beloved wife passes away, the pastor’s rigid beliefs are challenged in a profound and unforgettable way. One night, the gentle spirit of his wife appears and leads him on a supernatural journey through the lives of sinners—revealing the fears, wounds, and humanity hidden behind every dark deed. Through this humbling vision, he confronts the limits of judgment and the boundless depth of compassion. 
  A timeless blend of moral allegory, spiritual reflection, and ethereal storytelling, A Story invites listeners to reconsider mercy, forgiveness, and the divine spark within every person. 
  Narrated with grace and emotional clarity by Michele Wagner, this classic Andersen tale resonates as strongly today as it did more than a century ago.
