    At a time when violence in America and Europe dominates the daily news, a groundbreaking new book co-authored by James Gilligan, an eminent psychiatrist who has worked with criminals, and David A.J. Richards, a legal scholar of toxic patriarchy, illuminates the ways in which Shakespeare offers unique insights into the causes of violence as well as its prevention.Now a riveting new audio production, Holding a Mirror Up to Nature: Shame, Guilt, and Violence in Shakespeare takes advantage of scenes performed by acclaimed actors to dramatize how much Shakespeare’s tragic heroes exhibit the psychology of those who commit violence in the contemporary world.The voice of British-American actor John Douglas Thompson called “perhaps the greatest Shakespeare interpreter in contemporary theater,” together with women’s parts spoken by Shakespeare & Company’s distinguished Tod Randolph, and narration by award-winning theater star Nigel Gore, orchestrate this tour de force audiobook that belongs in the listening library of everyone who loves Shakespeare and is curious about what causes and what prevents violence.

    This book delves into the spiritual virtues that anchor and guide us toward a deeper connection with the divine. By embracing Faith, Trust in God, and Reverence, we develop a strong spiritual foundation that nurtures our relationship with God and fosters a life filled with devotion, peace, and purpose. These virtues are central to cultivating a life of spiritual commitment, love, and dedication. 
    Faith is the cornerstone of spiritual devotion. This section emphasizes the importance of believing in something greater than ourselves, even when faced with doubt or uncertainty. Faith in God allows us to see beyond the immediate challenges and trust that His plan for us is purposeful. It nurtures hope, provides guidance, and fosters resilience in the face of adversity. With faith, we find strength in moments of weakness and clarity in times of confusion. 
    Trust in God goes hand in hand with faith but focuses more specifically on surrendering our worries and uncertainties to God. This section explores how trust in God allows us to relinquish control and fully rely on His wisdom and timing. Trusting in God means believing that He is always with us, guiding our path, and providing the grace we need, even in moments of doubt or hardship. It nurtures a profound sense of peace and security, knowing that God’s love and guidance are unwavering. 
    Reverence involves a deep respect and awe for the divine. This part highlights the importance of showing honor, humility, and deep admiration for God's holiness. Reverence calls us to approach life with a sense of sacredness, recognizing the presence of the divine in all aspects of creation. It encourages us to live in a way that reflects our reverence for God, through acts of kindness, gratitude, and devotion. Reverence strengthens our spiritual connection and inspires us to live a life that honors the divine in all things.

    Thousands of miles away from where her son was deployed, a powerful premonition is devastatingly confirmed by a knock on the door from two faceless strangers bearing the news that her son had stepped on an improvised explosive device in the poppy fields of Afghanistan. He had lost both of his legs and suffered multiple other injuries, including partial amputation of all the fingers of his left hand. For forty-eight days she stood at his bedside. 
     
     
     
    Not only did he survive against all odds, but in time he began to test the limits of his new capabilities and undertook the first of, what would prove to be, many physical challenges. Just eighteen months after injury, and as part of a team of four servicemen, he rowed across the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. 
     
     
     
    Told mostly from a mother's perspective with contributions from Cayle, the genesis of the book was in the diary she kept while he was in a medically induced coma. It is the story of an extraordinarily brave man who has been through the agonies of rebuilding his life, with the encouragement of family and friends. 
     
     
     
    This was never meant to be another book about war or Afghanistan; it is a message of how love and hope can overcome adversity.
