  David Ben-Gurion (October 16, 1886 - December 1, 1973) was the primary national founder of the State of Israel as well as the state's first prime minister. Born in Płońsk, Poland, he immigrated to the Palestine region of the Ottoman Empire in 1906. Adopting the name of Ben-Gurion in 1909, he rose to become the preeminent leader of the Jewish community in British-ruled Mandatory Palestine from 1935 until the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. The following 1967 recording is a fascinating and spirited discussion by Ben-Gurion about the events that lead to the creation of the Jewish state of Israel.

  Mental health resources increasingly focus on the self as the antidote to psychological suffering, offering strategies for prioritizing self-care and self-esteem. Yet as people focus more on the self, their suffering may actually worsen, as evidenced by the prevalence of mental health disorders today. According to Christian clinical psychologist Joshua Knabb, when people focus less on the self and more on God, their mental and spiritual health may improve. 
   
  Combining up-to-date psychological research with theological reflection, this book helps readers better understand the role that awe, pursued through the act of worship, plays in optimal psychological and spiritual functioning. Knabb explains that at its core, Christian mental and spiritual health involves worshipful awe of God, which can be intentionally cultivated throughout the day. The book also includes practices for readers to try out and use in clinical contexts. 
   
  Worship and Awe in Christian Psychology will benefit students in Christian counseling and psychology programs, mental health practitioners, and others who want to improve their mental and spiritual health from a Christian perspective.

  “Yes you will absolutely be reborn, yes you will rebuild something more beautiful than before, but essentially a death took place in that moment and that is irreversible…” 
  -a Survivor 
    
  It is an honor and a privilege to be an ally to a survivor of sexual assault. She allows you close to her pain and you help her heal—with no expectations on her. It’s not a commitment to enter lightly. 
  If Jesus has burdened your heart for a survivor, but you don’t know what to do, start with this book. It will take work, prayer, and patience, but she’s worth it. 
    
  The book has four main sections: 
  1) What it means to be a survivor. 
  2) What it means to be an ally. 
  3) How to be an ally. 
  4) Reach out to her. 
    
  My intent is to break your heart and prepare you to be the ally your survivor friend needs. You will learn about the crime, read four other books (listed below), and then, with your friend’s permission, you’ll write a series of letters meant to encourage her and build an allyship. It’s a process designed around her, her needs, and her safety. 
    
  And who am I, you ask? I’m no one special, but God used my friendship with a survivor to call me to this work. I’ve had the privilege of getting to know many more, and their voices are found all through this text. My hope is to encourage men to get involved in allyship and advocacy.

  British Empire - Details of the...

  The British Empire was an extensive network of dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom and its predecessor governments. This sprawling empire evolved from England's early ventures into overseas territories and trading ports, beginning in the late 16th century and continuing through the early 18th century. The empire grew to become the largest in recorded history, dominating global affairs for more than a century. 
  The roots of the British Empire can be traced back to England’s desire to expand its economic and political influence, driven by competition with other European powers like Spain and Portugal, who were leading the Age of Exploration. These countries had established lucrative colonial empires in the Americas, Africa, and Asia, amassing great wealth and resources. Inspired by their success, England, along with France and the Netherlands, began establishing its own colonies and trading posts, particularly in North America, the Caribbean, and Asia. 
  During the 17th and 18th centuries, the British Empire grew in strength through a combination of military conquests, naval power, and strategic alliances. Following its unification with Scotland through the 1707 Act of Union, Britain emerged as a major colonial power, extending its control across vast regions. The empire's reach expanded dramatically after the series of conflicts with its rivals, including the Anglo-Dutch Wars and the long-standing hostilities with France, culminating in Britain's dominance over North America and its influence over global trade routes.
