Nervous Systems - Spiritual Practices to Calm Anxiety in Your Body the Church and Politics

Sara Billups

Beschreibung

An Honest Search for Personal and Collective Peace in Our Anxious Times 
 
· Discover how to live well in a culture permeated with fear, worry, and anxiety 
· Develop doable daily practices to promote peace both for yourself and in community 
· Learn to face anxiety head-on rather than merely coping and compartmentalizing 
 
 
Every era has its challenges, but ours seem to be majoring in anxiety. Bombarded (via screens) by constant global conflicts, rancorous politics, and church scandals, today we endure seemingly endless external stressors. The reasons are easy to find--division in politics and the pews, caring for kids or aging parents, and the rapid impact of social media on our psyches, to name a few. While exploring these origins may hold some benefit, Sara Billups is concerned with right now: How do we live well in the presence of pervasive personal and collective anxiety? 
 
The dissonance between Jesus saying "Do not worry" and her heart's inability to stop worrying led Sara to seek out spiritual rhythms and practices that create a holistic, holy response to the anxiety brimming in our bodies, our churches, and our society. 
 
Nervous Systems offers helpful, doable daily practices for anxiety in the large and small trials in our lives. This collection of personal and cultural observations invites us to let go in the presence of our anxiety. Join Sara in learning how, with God's help, to face anxiety head-on rather than trying to pray it away or, worse, grin and bear it.

Waking Up to the Dark - The...

Clark Strand

Is darkness synonymous with ignorance and evil? Or is it the original matrix from which all life emerges, and the Mother to whom it returns? Higher and higher levels of artificial illumination have suppressed our contact with the numinous since the Industrial Revolution, with dire consequences for society, our planetary ecology, and our souls. This mystical testament weaves together paleobiology, memoir, history, science, and spiritual archaeology to lead readers back into the lost mysteries of the dark. Not since The Teachings of Don Juan or Ishmael has a book diagnosed with such urgency and cultural coherence the problems at the heart of modern life. 
 
 
 
In Waking Up to the Dark, Clark Strand offers penetrating insight into the spiritual enrichment that can be found when we pull the plug on our billion-watt culture. He argues that the insomnia so many of us experience as "the Hour of the Wolf" is really "the Hour of God"—a wellspring of rest and renewal, and an ancient reservoir of ancestral wisdom and inspiration. And in a powerful yet surprising turn, he shares with us an urgent message for the world, received through a mysterious young woman he calls Our Lady of Climate Change (aka THE VIRGIN MARY), about the challenges we all know are coming.

Helping Men Finish Well At Any...

Dr. Duke Heller

I wish I could put this book into the hands of every man of retirement age. Buy two and give one away. - Erwin Lutzer
One of the things I learned in the NFL is that games are won or lost in the fourth quarter. How you finish the game typically determines the outcome. - Rick Nuzum
The Bible does not say anything about retirement, but it says everything about rehirement. Be a substitute teacher for your grandchildren - Ron Blue
Many Christian men have followed the American dream of retirement-moving to a warm climate, seeking comfort, and enjoying their golden years in leisure. But too often, the dream fades when health declines, and they return home to find distant relationships with their children and grandchildren. The years meant for rest and enjoyment can become years of regret.
In Helping Men Finish Well at Any Age, Dr. Duke Heller challenges men to redefine their retirement years with a purpose that aligns with God's calling. Through biblical wisdom, practical advice, and personal experience from over 60 years of marriage, Duke creates a roadmap to finishing life well-not in isolation, but in meaningful connection with family, faith, and impact.
Let this book guide you to a fulfilling and God-honoring finish as you prepare for the moment you hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
Invest your life in the people who will be sitting in the front row of your funeral. God cares how you finish!
Dr. Duke Heller is a retired dentist, devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather committed to the biblical principles of "finishing well." The author of two previous books draws on decades of marriage and personal experience to guide men seeking to restore and strengthen relationships with their children and grandchildren in retirement.
