  Nell Greenfieldboyce

  • 0

  In her career as a science reporter, Nell Greenfieldboyce has reported from inside a space shuttle, the bottom of a coal mine, and the control room of a particle collider; she's presented news on the color of dinosaur eggs, ice worms that live on mountaintop glaciers, and signs of life on Venus. In this, her debut book, she delivers a wholly original collection of powerful, emotionally raw, and unforgettable personal essays that probe the places where science touches our lives most intimately. 
   
   
   
  Expertly weaving her own experiences of motherhood and marriage with an almost devotional attention to the natural world, Greenfieldboyce grapples with the weighty dualities of life: birth and death, constancy and impermanence, memory and doubt, love and aging. She looks for a connection to the universe by embarking on a search for the otherworldly glint of a micrometeorite in the dust, consults meteorologists and storm chasers on the eerie power of tornadoes to soothe her children's anxieties, and processes her adolescent oblivion through the startling discovery of black holes. 
   
   
   
  A beautiful blend of explanatory science, original reporting, and personal experience, Transient and Strange captures the ache of ordinary life, offering resonant insights into both the world around us and the worlds within us. 
   
   
   
  Two bonus stories, "Santa" and "Paperclips," are featured at the end of the audiobook.

  Becoming Spiritually Intelligent...

  Paul M. Burns

  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.

  A Black Woman's Guide to Effective, Barrier-Breaking Leadership 
   
  Black women in leadership positions often experience resistance, both from external forces and from within. If you are a leader in your profession, community, or church, you may have been made to feel like an outsider--someone who must prove herself again and again to be worthy of following. Maybe you're tired, resentful, or beaten-down by the sense that you'll just never be good enough for some people. 
   
  Take heart and take a seat at the table with Jeanne Porter King. Drawing from the biblical account of the Samaritan woman at the well, King shows how this outsider and outcast has been reduced to a stereotype by the same racist and sexist forces that attempt to reduce you to a stereotype and hinder your God-given call to leadership. She then shows how God uniquely positioned and equipped her to lead her people to the truth despite attempts to keep her silent and small. 
   
  If you long to lead from a strong spiritual core rather than a set of expectations you had no part in setting, this book offers you the inspiration, encouragement, and practical tools to make leading well a reality in your life.

  The Holy Spirit in the Christian Life offers a brief account of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, focusing specifically on the question of the person and work of the Spirit in the Christian life. 
   
   
   
  Lutheran theologian Cheryl Peterson identifies three key movements of the Christian life, showing the Spirit's role in each: justification (God the Holy Spirit working for us), sanctification (God the Holy Spirit working in us), and mission (God the Holy Spirit working through us). Peterson explores scriptural and doctrinal perspectives on the person and work of the Holy Spirit—especially from churches with Reformation roots—in view of contemporary spiritual movements, including the spiritual-but-not-religious and the Pentecostal and charismatic movements. In addition, she explores the means of the Spirit's work through Word, sacrament, and spiritual gifts. 
   
   
   
  This book offers a fresh look at the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church today. It is ideal for seminarians and working pastors.

  Oh Well! - The Risk of Wounding...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  Oh… Well! — The Risk of Wounding with Indifference is a powerful testimony written from the edge of silence and the depth of faith. Jorge Madera shares his journey through childhood abandonment, family fractures, disability, and resilience — always anchored in dignity and fire. 
  From the first breath of life in El Paso, Texas, through the struggles of survival, loss, and illness, his story is both deeply personal and universally human. This audiobook unites fragments of his previous works into one continuous voice: a voice that refuses to be silenced, even when the body falters. 
  Inside these chapters, you will hear about: 
  Beginnings and Roots — early family struggles, survival, and faith. 
  The Workshop of the Soul — discipline, silence, and character forged without witnesses. 
  Voices of the Soul — the enduring love of AGAPE and the Quasimodo effect in the brain and beyond. 
  Time and Judgment — the cost of being a witness, the fire that never asks permission. 
  Body and Dignity — karma, invisible pain, and the wheelchair as sanctuary. 
  Love and Mission — family care, fidelity, and a pact of presence. 
  This is not a self-help manual. It is a testimony, a confession, and an offering — for anyone who has ever carried invisible pain, sought refuge in faith, or longed for dignity when the world looked away. 
  Oh… Well! is both wound and witness, scar and fire, silence and song. Above all, it is a reminder that even when life wounds with indifference, the soul can still rise with meaning, purpose, and hope.
