  "A Christ-Centered Path to Wholeness" is an audiobook that offers a comprehensive, faith-based approach to achieving freedom from eating disorders. Grounded in biblical truth and sound psychology, it addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of conditions like anorexia and bulimia. 
  The audiobook begins by providing a clear understanding of eating disorders, including medical definitions, warning signs, underlying neurological factors, and the vicious cycle sufferers often face. It then delves into the root causes, exploring how trauma, family dynamics, cultural pressures, and spiritual warfare contribute to disordered eating. 
  With this foundation laid, the audiobook presents God's perspective on the body, identity, and mental health. Listeners learn to see themselves as God's beloved creation while engaging in the battle for the mind.  
  The journey to freedom is mapped out through practical strategies like healthy eating plans, emotional regulation techniques, and the development of new habits. These tools are undergirded by spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, and forgiveness. 
  Listeners are encouraged to find healing in community through the support of the church, Christian counseling, accountability partnerships, and ministering to others. Inspiring testimonies of those who have overcome eating disorders offer hope to all. 
  The audiobook concludes with an implementation guide, including a personal assessment, action plan template, Scripture meditations, and a list of helpful resources. Ultimately, listeners are pointed back to their identity in Christ as the key to lasting wholeness and freedom. 
  Whether you are personally struggling with an eating disorder or seeking to support a loved one, "A Christ-Centered Path to Wholeness" is an invaluable resource filled with biblical wisdom, clinical insights, and practical tools for the recovery journey.

  In the Mind of Stalin

  On 1 October 1939, Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty and soon to be the UK’s wartime leader, described Russia as ‘a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma’. The same can certainly be said of Stalin. How can this paradox of a man, who on the one hand had once exhibited great tenderness and kindness to his daughter Svetlana, and on the other sent millions – including members of his own family - to their deaths, be explained? 
   
  It is impossible to quantify the total number of deaths attributable to the policies of Stalin, but the ‘Excess Mortality’ (i.e., deaths over and above what would normally have been expected during the period in question) gives an approximate figure in excess of 40 million. 
   
  However, this is only part of the story of the amount of misery inflicted by the Stalin regime through torture, deliberate starvation, neglect, separation from loved ones, cold and hypothermia (e.g. in the prisons of Siberia), which is unquantifiable and unimaginable. 
   
  Svetlana confessed that she ‘would never undertake to “explain” what motivated all my father’s actions, simply because I do not possess the psychological genius of [Russian novelist] Dostoevsky, who knew how to “penetrate” into another man’s soul and “examine it from within”’.

  The Student

  From the president of Wesleyan University, an illuminating history of the student, spanning from antiquity to Zoom 
   
  In this sweeping book, Michael S. Roth narrates a vivid and dynamic history of students, exploring some of the principal models for learning that have developed in very different contexts, from the sixth century BCE to the present. 
   
  Beginning with the followers of Confucius, Socrates, and Jesus and moving to medieval apprentices, students at Enlightenment centers of learning, and learners enrolled in twenty-first-century universities, he explores how students have been followers, interlocutors, disciples, rebels, and children becoming adults. There are many ways to be a student, Roth argues, but at their core is developing the capacity to think for oneself by learning from others, and thereby finding freedom. 
   
  In an age of machine learning, this book celebrates the student who develops more than mastery, cultivating curiosity, judgment, creativity, and an ability to keep learning beyond formal schooling. Roth shows how the student throughout history has been someone who interacts dynamically with the world, absorbing its lessons and creatively responding to them.

  America’s Most Notorious Con...

  The art of the confidence trick is a controversial craft that is as old as time itself. In the early years of civilization, unscrupulous folks bottled and peddled assortments of fake cures and potions. Snake oil salesmen aside, charlatans posed as mystical beings with supernatural powers, promising to end droughts and other misfortunes of the gullible with what were in reality parlor tricks and illusions.  
  	Indeed, throughout history, unabashedly brazen characters managed to make careers out of deception. 17th century Britain, for instance, was terrorized by William Chaloner, the most infamous serial counterfeiter and con artist of his time before he was ultimately bested by Sir Isaac Newton himself. The British trickster posed as a quack doctor and a clairvoyant who dispensed false fortunes (most likely via an early form of cold reading) and bogus healing antidotes, but these were bush-league frauds in comparison to one of his most renowned claims to fame: he once bribed four Jacobite sympathizers to crank out pamphlets regarding King James II's denunciation of His Royal Highness William, and later double-crossed his co-conspirators by tipping off the cops and swiftly decamping with the 1,000 reward.  
  	Confidence women were equally active players in such dirty, fixed games. Doris Payne was a professional pilferer of jewels whose unconventional vocation spanned six decades. Throughout all her hits across the United States, Europe, and Asia, Payne adhered to a simple, yet effective method of operation: she donned stylish, pricey clothes, singled out impressionable male shopkeepers and distracted them with flirtatious small talk, and secretly palmed jewelry with sleight-of-hand tricks. One of the most recent was Frank Abagnale, a career impersonator, former forger of bank checks turned FBI employee, and the subject of the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can.
