  Fear and Other Uninvited Guests...

  Bestselling author Harriet Lerner is at her provocative best in this examination of fear as the key motivating force in our lives. 
   Often unrecognised, fear and shame drive our choices and attitudes in ways that most of us never figure out. As Lerner explains, fear is not an amorphous unknown to be transcended or overcome but an emotion to be recognized, explored, decoded and embraced. Once we befriend fear, it can actually help us achieve calm, clarity and fundamental peace. 
   Lerner teaches us the best ways to deal with fear: to expect, allow, and accept its presence in our lives, to mindfully observe and attend to how it feels in our bodies and, ultimately to own it. We can become experts on our personal triggers of anxiety, learning when fear signals real danger and when it's best to plough through it because it comes with the territory of making necessary changes. The very worst thing we can do in the face of fear is to run from it or try to avoid it. Fear is not something to be conquered or eliminated––or even tackled, for that matter. Instead, we need to pay close attention to the message it is trying to convey. 
   Using her wonderfully rich and inviting therapeutic voice along with personal memories and examples drawn from her practice, Lerner gives fear its due. We needn't let anxiety, fear, and shame silence our authentic voice, close our hearts to the different voices of others, or stop us from acting with dignity, integrity and brio. We need to harness fear and put it in service to our best selves.

  Creating Space tells a professional and personal story of healthcare chaplaincy and models the way in which practice development emerges from reflecting on the human story. This book reveals to healthcare, the Church and the community, the unique role of the chaplain’s experiences as a resource to others. It is written for professional practitioners, prompting their own contextual learning and development, whether as chaplains, pastoral carers, parish clergy, lay ministers, volunteers in any caring context, those who work in listening therapies, those who provide care and support to others of any kind, or those who use or teach reflective practice.
  
   
  The authors connect in a straightforward way their view of healthcare chaplaincy as a model of practical theology, based on key practical theologians who see the human story as a source of learning. They outline their own reflective practice tool for learning and share the way in which they see each pastoral encounter as a reflective source of learning. They discover how their experiences have developed the discernment process for chaplaincy vocation, urging the Church to see beyond the parish model in today’s world.

  Writing the Wisdom explores the effects and emotional impact that trauma and abuse have on a person's life whilst also bringing together religious, spiritual, pastoral and therapeutic understandings. In a partnership between a church minister and an accredited counsellor, Barbara Glasson and Penny Johnson have used “creative writing for wellbeing” with women survivors of childhood trauma, including organized ritual abuse, a subject that still remains largely hidden from our society.
  
  
   
  The poetry and prose that have been produced during these creative writing workshops may help those who have lived through such devastation to feel less isolated, by giving them the opportunity to read about others' experiences.
  
   
  Writing the Wisdom also explores church practices that are unhelpful for those who have experienced abuse. Language and litany, listening and witnessing, healing, forgiveness and wisdom are all discussed, in the hope of enabling faith communities to look more closely and honestly at our way of life and to be mindful of the difficulties that some survivors of childhood abuse face.

  Reparations - A Christian Call...

  Christians are awakening to the legacy of racism in America like never before. While public conversations regarding the realities of racial division and inequalities have surged in recent years, so has the public outcry to work toward the long-awaited healing of these wounds. But American Christianity, with its tendency to view the ministry of reconciliation as its sole response to racial injustice, and its isolation from those who labor most diligently to address these things, is underequipped to offer solutions. Because of this, the church needs a new perspective on its responsibility for the deep racial brokenness at the heart of American culture and on what it can do to repair that brokenness. 
   
   
   
  This book makes a compelling historical and theological case for the church's obligation to provide reparations for the oppression of African Americans. Duke Kwon and Gregory Thompson articulate the church's responsibility for its promotion and preservation of white supremacy throughout history, investigate the Bible's call to repent and make restitution, and offer concrete examples of the work of reparation at the local level. They lead listeners toward a moral imagination that views reparations as a long-overdue and necessary step in our collective journey toward healing and wholeness.

  The Roman Empire Uncovered -...

  The Roman Empire, one of history's most influential superpowers, traces its origins to a blend of myth, legend, and historical reality. Understanding the foundations of Rome requires examining the myths surrounding its birth, its early expansion as a republic, and the eventual transformation into a dominant empire. These formative stages laid the groundwork for centuries of imperial dominance, establishing Rome as a cultural and political epicenter. 
  The story of Rome's foundation begins with the legendary tale of Romulus and Remus. According to Roman mythology, the twin brothers were abandoned by the river Tiber, only to be rescued and nurtured by a she-wolf. Eventually, Romulus would go on to establish the city on Palatine Hill in 753 BCE, becoming its first king after a violent dispute with Remus. Though historians debate the factual accuracy of this tale, it symbolizes Rome’s resilience and its origins rooted in struggle and survival. This myth, coupled with archaeological evidence from early settlements on the hills of Rome, provides insight into how Romans viewed their beginnings as both divine and destined for greatness. 
  Following its legendary foundation, Rome gradually transformed from a small settlement into a robust city-state. Initially, it was ruled by a series of kings who laid the foundations of Roman society, including political and religious institutions. However, the overthrow of the monarchy in 509 BCE marked the beginning of the Roman Republic, a period characterized by shared power between elected officials and a complex system of checks and balances. The Republic's political structure, with the Senate as a central governing body, reflected a commitment to preventing any single ruler from holding excessive power. This early model of governance would profoundly influence later empires and modern political systems.
