  A no-nonsense, straightforward guide to what AI is, its impact on our world and the next generation, and how Christians should respond to it with wisdom and confidence. 
  There's a lot of hype and fear around artificial intelligence. Joe Carter—associate pastor at McLean Bible Church and senior writer at The Gospel Coalition, avoids both extremes in this timely book, responding to the key questions that so many people have about our future with AI:What is AI, really? Is it just a fancy search engine?Is agentic and generative AI going to keep getting smarter? Will it eventually think like us?Is AI making us worse at relationships?I'm worried about my kids and AI. What should I know? 
  Joe responds to these questions and steers us to the questions that we should be asking:Does the Bible say anything about AI or technology?Can AI give good advice? Should I trust what it tells me?What does the “image of God” actually mean for humanity? 
  By the end of your day, an AI will have filtered the spam from your email, autocompleted your text messages, rerouted your commute to avoid traffic, and recommended a TV show. If the machines had stayed quietly in the background, we would have been fine with them managing these aspects of our lives. But they start talking, and we can no longer pretend that we don't notice them. We are past the point where we can ask whether, as Christians, we should engage with AI. The issue now is only how we will engage. 
  Will we follow the crowd and get caught up in the whiplash of hype and panic? Or will we engage wisely and with biblical discernment so that we can help shape the future of our digital era in a way that glorifies God? 
  Your Soul in an AI World will help you apply timeless biblical wisdom and Christian theology to this new powerful tool.

  Paranoia: A Journey Into Extreme...

  'A TRULY IMPORTANT BOOK’ JOHN HUMPHRYS 
  'FASCINATING… SHOCKING' SPECTATOR 
  What is paranoia? What makes us mistrustful? How can this be overcome? 
  Daniel Freeman, Professor of Psychology at Oxford, has spent thirty years at the vanguard of paranoia research and treatment. This remarkable and moving book tells the story of that journey. 
  For decades, conventional wisdom held that paranoia was only experienced by people with severe mental health problems and little could be done to rectify its disastrous effects. Paranoia gives us a front row seat as Freeman turns the traditional view on its head. 
  He develops life-changing treatments for clinical paranoia – often using state-of-the-art technology like virtual reality. He reveals that suspicion is rife in society, with paranoia widespread, conspiracy theories rampant and emotion all too often trumping evidence. He discovers the causes of mistrust, including the role of genes, trauma, lack of sleep, worry, low self-confidence, cannabis use and hearing voices, and delves into the murky world of Covid-19 conspiracy theories. Lighting up the narrative throughout are the rarely heard voices of people whose lives have been almost wrecked by paranoia – and then in many cases transformed by Freeman’s groundbreaking treatments. 
  This is also a practical book. Freeman shows how we can measure our own levels of mistrust. He explains how we can remedy things if those levels are higher than we’d like, because although mistrust can seem engrained, things can change for the better. Ultimately, it can be overcome. Compelling and compassionate, this is a gripping tale from the front line of suspicion – an impassioned plea for the urgent rebuilding of trust between us all. 
  Daniel Freeman's Paranoia is a compelling mix of autobiography, neuroscience, and social science. It offers a deep understanding of paranoia, its medical implications, and the anxieties and phobias it can cause, providing self-help strategies for patients. 
  For fans of Lucy Johnstone (Users and Abusers of Psychiatry), Esmé Weijun Wang (The Collected Schizophrenias), Irvin D. Yalom (Hour of the Heart), Dr Joseph Jebelli (The Brain at Rest), and Paul Gilbert (CFT Made Simple).

  Is Anyone Listening? - What...

  If you could pose one question to a dolphin, what would it be? And what might a dolphin ask you? For forty years, researcher and author Denise L. Herzing has investigated these and related questions of marine mammal communication. But the dolphins are not the only ones talking, and in this wide-ranging and accessible book, Herzing explores the astonishing realities of interspecies communication, a skill that humans currently lack. 
   
   
    
  Is Anyone Listening? connects research on dolphin communication to findings from Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Dian Fossey on mountain gorillas, Cynthia Moss on African elephants, and others driving today's exploration of possible animal languages. As Herzing reveals, researchers are finding fascinating hints of language in nonhuman species, including linguistic structures, vowel equivalents, and complex repeated sequences. By looking at the many ways animals use and manipulate signals, we see that we've only just begun to appreciate the diversity of animal intelligence and the complicated and subtle aspects of animal communication. 
   
   
    
  Considering dolphins and other nonhuman animals as colleagues instead of research subjects, Herzing asks us to meet animals as both speakers and listeners, as mutually curious beings, and to listen to what they are saying.
