Summary

When we hear news stories about displaced people, people running away from war, living in exile, they're always accompanied by big numbers, presented as waves of immigrants. The Last Day Before Exile re-focuses the narrative to the human side, sharing some of the hardest moments of their lives, where they had to make the decision to stay or go.

Tracing the steps of professionals who have moved from the Gaza Strip, Pakistan, Morocco, Iran, Afghanistan Turkey, and Ukraine, Selin Bucak shares stories of rebellion, fear, and, in some cases, victory.

To truly understand what immigrants often have to go through at the hands of governments, legislation, and war, we need to put ourselves into the shoes of the people living in exile.

    "An invaluable assessment of Lewis's reception in the United States, offering important insights into both Lewis's significance and the distinctives of the American religious mind." – Alister McGrath, Oxford University
    Perhaps no other literary figure has transformed the American religious landscape in recent history as much as C. S. Lewis. Even before the international publication and incredible success of his fictional works such as The Chronicles of Narnia or apologetic works like Mere Christianity, Lewis was already being read "across the pond" in America. But who exactly was reading his work? And how was he received?
    With fresh research and shrewd analysis, this volume by noted historian Mark A. Noll considers the surprising reception of Lewis among Roman Catholic, mainline Protestant, and evangelical readers to see how early readings of the Oxford don shaped his later influence.
    Based on the annual lecture series hosted at Wheaton College's Marion E. Wade Center, volumes in the Hansen Series reflect on the imaginative work and lasting influence of seven British authors: Owen Barfield, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Dorothy L. Sayers, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams.

    On the Genealogy of Morality

    In 1887, with the perspective on enhancing and finishing specific new tenets which he had simply outlined in Past Great and Fiendishness (see particularly Axiom 260), Nietzsche distributed The Parentage of Ethics. This work is maybe the most un-aphoristic, in structure, of every one of Nietzsche's creations. For scientific influence, all the more particularly in those parts where Nietzsche analyzes the austere ideal, The Lineage of Ethics is unmatched by some other of his works; and, in the light which it tosses upon the mentality of the ecclesiast to the man of disdain and mishap, it is one of the most important commitments to sacerdotal brain science 
    Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German rationalist, social pundit and philologist whose work has applied a significant impact on current scholarly history. He started his vocation as a traditional philologist prior to going to theory.

    Actionable Ethics is part of a larger regimen of ethics training, for the company (but, more broadly-speaking, for life). What makes it different is the fact that it shares techniques gleaned from neuroscience on how to make moral behavior habitual. As Aristotle said, “Excellence is not an act, but a habit." Almost every other ethics book or course available addresses itself to the front of the brain (where executive function takes place). Actionable Ethics, by contrast, addresses itself to the back of the brain, where habit-formation occurs, to create positive behaviors, or, as Cicero put it thousands of years ago, a “second nature”.
