  How to talk about Jesus in a way that connects with modern culture. As followers of Jesus, we know that the good news is deeply attractive. But we often fear that to those on the outside, it comes across as irrelevant or even repellent. Sometimes, the Christian worldview feels so out of step with everything else going on, that we don't know how to share our faith.  However, author Daniel Strange wants to show you that the connections are there - in fact, the longings that our culture cannot help but express are the very ones that Jesus fulfils.  Building on the work of theologian J.H. Bavinck, Dan reveals five recurring themes that our culture can’t stop talking about, or, as he puts it, the “five permanent ‘itches’ that in our work, rest, and play, we have to vigorously scratch.” From TV to books to social media, these are the questions we can't stop asking and the tensions we can't stop wrestling with - and Jesus speaks powerfully into each one.  This book will help you to spot these connections in our culture, excite you about how Jesus makes sense of humankind’s deepest questions and longings, apply them to your own life first, and then equip you to speak of him to others in a way that is truly magnetic.

  A Christian Perspective on Overcoming Cognitive Bias
  So much human behavior can be explained by two motives: we want to be right, and we want to feel good about ourselves. But the tension between these two motives makes us especially vulnerable to bias—and bias distorts our view of the world and of ourselves and can keep us from doing even what we know is right.
  In The Unbiased Self, social psychologist Erin Devers lays out what psychology has discovered about bias and selfishness. To truly overcome cognitive bias, we need a vision of what an unbiased self could look like, stemming from a solid sense of identity—an identity available in Christian faith. Devers explains how a Christian concept of the self can provide the combination of humility with self-confidence that enables unbiased thinking. Using current research and illuminating stories, this book
  
  - describes how "fast" and "slow" thinking work together in everyday life;
  - diagnoses when we're most vulnerable to distorted thinking;
  - considers how regarding every person as a child of God counteracts implicit bias;
  - reveals psychological insights into spiritual formation; and
  - recommends practices for slowing our thinking to seek God's wisdom about our ourselves and others.
  The social sciences offer rich resources for understanding how to reduce stereotyping and prejudice. By thoughtfully integrating them with biblical perspectives on human worth and sin, we gain hopeful, practical guidance on how to perceive the world more accurately and love others more generously.

  Egyptian civilization, one of the oldest in human history, made extraordinary contributions to various fields of knowledge, particularly science and mathematics. These innovations, which spanned thousands of years, helped shape the development of ancient society and continue to influence modern science and mathematics. In ancient Egypt, knowledge was not merely a tool for survival but an integral part of their spiritual and practical lives. From monumental structures like the pyramids to advancements in medicine and astronomy, Egyptian science and mathematics were not just theoretical pursuits; they were embedded in the daily lives of the people and their understanding of the world around them. 
  The ancient Egyptians developed a deep understanding of the natural world, building complex systems of mathematics and science that were essential for both practical and religious purposes. The sciences of astronomy, engineering, and medicine, along with an elaborate system of mathematics, formed the backbone of their civilization. These scientific endeavors were often linked to the Egyptians' strong religious beliefs, which saw the cosmos, time, and the earth as interconnected and governed by divine forces. This understanding led to the creation of highly sophisticated technologies and systems, such as the construction of the pyramids, the development of early medicine, and the creation of accurate calendars for agricultural and religious purposes.

  A passionate analysis of the ill-fated 1994 film starring the late Brandon Lee and its long-lasting influence on action movies, cinematic grief, and emotional masculinity
  		 
  Released in 1994, The Crow first drew in audiences thanks to the well-publicized tragedy that loomed over the film: lead actor Brandon Lee had died on set due to a mishandled prop gun. But it soon became clear that The Crow was more than just an accumulation of its tragic parts. The celebrated critic Roger Ebert wrote that Lee’s performance was “more of a screen achievement than any of the films of his father, Bruce Lee.”
  		 
  In It Can’t Rain All the Time, Alisha Mughal argues that The Crow has transcended Brandon Lee’s death by exposing the most challenging human emotions in all their dark, dramatic, and visceral glory, so much so that it has spawned three sequels, a remake, and an intense fandom. Eric, our back-from-the-dead, grieving protagonist, shows us that there is no solution to depression or loss, there is only our own internal, messy work. By the end of the movie, we realize that Eric has presented us with a vast range of emotions and that masculinity doesn’t need to be hard and impenetrable.
  		 
  Through her memories of seeking solace in the film during her own grieving period, Alisha brilliantly shows that, for all its gothic sadness, The Crow is, surprisingly and touchingly, a movie about redemption and hope.
