  There are many books written on the need to change consciousness but rarely does anyone explore the depths of humanitys refusal to do so, even under threat of the approaching cataclysm in our refusal to deal with climate change. Dave MacQuarrie has written such a book. In it, he explains both why it is so difficult for us to change and what all of us can do to become more aware and more free of the darkness within. It is a superb book. Jim Garrison, President and CEO of Ubiquity University, and author of Civilization and the Transformation of Power. Acedia is a well-informed and inspired book about the historical and psychological origins of a centuries old affliction. 
  Acedia masterfully connects the dots between personal psychological traumas and looming environmental collapse. Dr. MacQuarrie pulls no punches, yet offers a ray of hope that we just might save our future. Christian de Quincey, PhD, Professor of Philosophy and Consciousness Studies, John F. Kennedy University, and author of Radical The Soul of Matter. This is a wise, searching book by an authentic scholar and seeker. It helps us enter into the darker waters of our crisis, and find their treasures of dark wisdom and endurance. Andrew Harvey, poet, mystical scholar, Founder/Director of the Institute of Sacred Activism, and author of The A Guide to Sacred Activism. Dr. MacQuarrie has lifted the ancient monastic curse of acedia out of its medieval tomb and applied it aptly to the dis-ease of the contemporary world. His interpretation of the human resistance is perceptive and provides important insights into our present inclination to repudiate changes that demand action on our part. A serious and sensitive work. Father John-Julian, an Episcopal priest and contemplative monk, translator of Julian of Norwichs Revelations of Divine Love.

  Warrior of Eden - How Curiosity...

  There’s a reason you’ve always known God has big plans for you—He’s created you with great purpose.   In this transformative, biblically based book, Beth Guckenberger draws on God’s original intention for women to embolden us to use our gifts as full participants at church, at work, and at home. Warrior of Eden explores twenty-seven thought-provoking questions such as:  What does “suitable helper” in Genesis 2 really mean?  Are we made in the image of a male God?  How did the early church treat women?  When have I joined men in battle, and when have I picked one instead?  Why is the church lagging in this conversation instead of leading?  With reflection questions and journal prompts, Warrior of Eden reminds us that God directly empowers women to do His work—not because one gender is superior, but because we’re each worthy of His calling.
