    From bestselling author and Jungian psychoanalyst Dr. James Hollis comes a new collection of essays exploring life’s challenges and celebrating evolving questions on life’s mysterious journey.In a world seemingly set up for distraction, life can often feel like it’s dividing you not only from others but also from yourself. Yet even within the cacophony of life, deep down you can intuit your own soul, that part of you that knows you better than you know yourself, and that offers direction and moments of solace, even amid uncertainty.This disconnect from your inner source of guidance leads to self-doubt, but in Living with Borrowed Dust, Hollis provides a reminder that you carry within what you’re so anxiously looking for from a crazed world. “Behind the noise and beneath the surface, something in the soul of each of us cries out,” he says. “While we may be distracted from this summons, the soul keeps asking that we pay attention.” These summonses come to us through symptoms, dreams, and restless nights. Gaining insight into these inner callings, the meaning within our challenges, and the courage it takes to move through our journey can help us feel better connected through difficult times. Here, Hollis reveals tools you can utilize to engage in this conversation with the soul.In this collection of essays, readers are guided to reflect deeply on questions that explore and celebrate life's challenges in our evolving world, including how happiness is attained, how to approach your dreams, the divided soul of America, the fear and fascination with death, and the conflict between good and evil. With each new insight, Hollis aims to steer you toward an individual, self-determining path, zeroing in on the need for personal accountability and decisive growth. Using analytic psychology as a vehicle for the recovery of a spiritual life in a secular age, you’ll find inspiration for reconnecting with deep wisdom, bringing renewed purpose and dignity to this mysterious journey called life.

    William the Conqueror’s conquest of Britain arguably made him the most important figure in shaping the course of English history, but modern caricatures of this vitally important medieval figure are largely based on ignorance. William is a fascinating and complex figure, in many ways the quintessential warrior king of this period. Inheriting the Duchy of Normandy while still an infant and forced to fight for his domain almost ceaselessly during his early years, William went on to conquer and rule England, five times larger and three times wealthier. In doing so, he demonstrated sophisticated political and diplomatic skill, military prowess and administrative acumen. Although he lived by the sword, he was a devout man who had only one wife, to whom he remained faithful.  
    	William is one of history’s most famous conquerors, but the efforts to consolidate his rule in England were complicated from the start, both due to external enemies and those jockeying for his position while he was still alive. William ultimately decided to split Normandy and England. His son Robert, still in open revolt, would nonetheless inherit Normandy, while the next in line, his second son William, would rule England. The two states that William left behind were hardly united or at peace. Soon after his death, Odo conspired with Robert to oust his brother from the English throne and re-establish a united state, but the revolt failed, and King William “Rufus” II would rule England until his suspicious death in 1100. His younger brother Henry inherited the throne, and in 1106 he imprisoned Robert after their sibling battle at Tinchebray had achieved unity once more, but any political unity would not last long.  
    	This bloody era provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives, characters, and power struggles of the Norman-French nobility who had conquered England less than 100 years prior.

    In a culture consumed with self-improvement, many Christians become entangled in the relentless pursuit of a "better" life. But the more we try to refine ourselves, the more we find that our efforts lead to burnout, frustration, and a deep sense of emptiness. In surrendering it all to Christ, we can take on new meaning and fulfillment, build better mindsets, and find that contentment and happiness are found in a deep relationship with God. 
    Death to Self-Help challenges this mindset, showing that true transformation is not found in perfecting the self but in surrendering it entirely to Christ. This journey involves a tension between striving for worldly perfection and embracing God's definition of "good"—a shift from mechanical processes of self-betterment to a deeper, meaningful relationship with God. 
    Eli Bonilla explores various philosophies that have influenced modern Christians, from New Age spirituality to semi-works-based gospel—a subtle belief that we can contribute to our salvation through our own efforts. Through the story of Daniel and his friends in Babylon, Death to Self-Help presents a countercultural narrative that prioritizes God's principles over personal preferences, fulfillment over improvement, and being in God's presence over merely doing more. 
    Death to Self-Help is for thosestruggling with mental health surrounding purpose and meaning;burnt out from trying every option to improve their lives;frustrated with being stuck; andattempting to untangle from trauma in a world that embraces it as an identity. 
      
    This book also addresses the modern human obsession with immortality—through technology, AI, transhumanism, and legacy-building—contrasting these pursuits with the biblical perspective that all earthly things are temporary until the arrival of the new heavens and new earth. It challenges readers to shift their focus from the pursuit of personal immortality to embracing the eternal purposes of God. 
    Eli will not vilify the desire for self-improvement but will illuminate why self-improvement does not result in wholeness, and why God's way of improving our lives may result in suffering for seasons but resulting in a purpose much greater than our momentary affliction.
