    Knowing what the Bible says about fear doesn’t always help us feel less anxious. Prayer does not always help either. This book explores the spiritual practices and scriptures that can counteract how anxiety works in the brain. When facing anxiety, some forms of prayer are more helpful than others for each person. This is true both spiritually and psychologically. But here’s help in discerning which practices are most useful in dealing with immediate anxiety, other practices for dealing with root causes, and further suggestions that promote long-term freedom from anxiety’s debilitating effects. These practices can deepen our relationship with God and help reduce anxiety at the same time. Anxiety Transformed: Prayer that Brings Enduring Change brings together insights from spiritual formation, psychotherapy, and neuroscience, as well as the author's personal journey with God through periods of anxiety. These concepts are integrated into a model of life-changing spiritual and psychological transformation.

    In the Lion's Den draws on the unique perspective of a man who has spent his entire career in his nation's public service. Danon shares his experiences on the front lines of Israel's global presence—the successes as well as the disappointments. Danon makes a compelling case for an Israel that must be proud of its identity and faith; forge relationships with diverse peoples; make autonomous domestic decisions; and determine its own foreign policy. 
     
     
     
    In this book, Danon lays out a roadmap for Israel’s future on the regional and global stage and outlines the path Israel must follow in order to continue to make a positive contribution to global prosperity and peace and ensure its safety in a fraught region. As the Jewish state enters the next phase of its existence, Danon's inspiring vision will help Israel fulfill the noble vision of its founders.

    In the following keynote address given at Baylor University, author Paul Levinson discusses Canadian philosopher and academic Marshall McLuhan's seminal book, "Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man," which proposed that the media--not the content that they carry-- affects the society in which it plays a role and, thus, should be the focus of study. Levinson, a colleague of McLuhan’s, lays out, how in the decades since its 1964 publication, McLuhan’s study of media theory and the concept that "the medium is the message," still holds true. 
     
    Paul Levinson, PhD, is Professor at Fordham University. His science fiction novels include The Silk Code (winner of the Locus Award for Best First Science Fiction Novel of 1999), The Consciousness Plague (winner of the 2003 Mary Shelley Award for outstanding fictional work), The Pixel Eye, Borrowed Tides, The Plot to Save Socrates, Unburning Alexandria, Chronica, and It's Real Life. His novelette “The Chronology Protection Case” was made into a short film and is on Amazon Prime Video. His novelette, “Robinson Calculator,” was published in the Robots Through the Ages anthology in July 2023. He was President of the Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA) 1998-2001. His nonfiction books, including The Soft Edge, Digital McLuhan, and New New Media, have been translated into 15 languages. His 1972 album, Twice Upon A Rhyme, was re-issued in Japan and Korea in 2008, and in the U. K. in 2010. His first new album since 1972, Welcome Up: Songs of Space and Time, was released by Old Bear Records and Light in the Attic Records in 2020.

    Threats - Intimidating Someone...

    Threats are an inherent part of human interaction and can manifest in various forms. At their core, threats are attempts to instill fear or assert power by creating the perception of potential harm, whether physical, emotional, or psychological. The nature of threats is complex because they exist on a spectrum, ranging from subtle and covert forms of intimidation to overt and aggressive expressions of force. Understanding the nature of threats is essential, as it allows individuals and communities to recognize and respond to them effectively. 
    A threat can be defined as any statement, action, or behavior that creates a sense of fear or danger in another person. It involves the intention to coerce, control, or manipulate someone by presenting the possibility of harm. Threats do not necessarily have to be acted upon for them to have a significant impact; the mere perception of harm can be enough to evoke a response. For instance, the threat of violence—whether verbal, physical, or implied—can lead to significant emotional distress, anxiety, and a shift in one’s behavior, even in the absence of any actual harm being done. This highlights the psychological aspect of threats: the fear and tension they generate are often more powerful than the harm that might actually occur. 
    Threats can be both explicit and implicit. Explicit threats are direct and clear in their intent, such as saying “If you do this, I will hurt you” or “You will pay for this.” These types of threats leave little room for misinterpretation and often provoke an immediate response. Implicit threats, on the other hand, are more subtle and may not directly articulate the intended harm. They may involve hints, body language, or situations that suggest harm without overtly stating it. An example of an implicit threat might be a comment like, “You wouldn’t want something bad to happen, would you?” which leaves the recipient uncertain but still fearful of what may follow.
