Am I a Better Christian on...

Mark Tabb

A vulnerable look at the faith questions we are afraid to admit we have 
 
· for anyone struggling with depression, doubting God's goodness, or feeling like a misfit at church 
· permission to ask the hard questions (and the just plain weird ones) 
· deepen your relationship with God and others 
 
 
When you've done all the right things, read all the right books, and listened to all the right worship songs, yet still feel like you don't have this faith thing figured out, what do you do? It can be hard to voice the questions and doubts floating around your head and heart to others. But you're not the only one who feels that way! 
 
For anyone tired of church politics, the unspoken rules of Christian subculture, and taking themselves too seriously, Mark Tabb is your new best friend. He asks the questions you might hesitate to admit having, like 
 
· Can I call myself a Christian if I don't watch The Chosen? 
· Is God kind of mean but we're all afraid to say something? 
· If I believe God is in control, why am I upset about politics? 
· Why don't I feel it? 
· What if I'm wrong? 
· and more 
 
Not only will he explore the answers to ten specific questions, he'll show you how to get comfortable talking with others about all the weird and uncomfortable questions you have. Because figuring out life together just might be the catalyst we need to renew our faith and our hope for the future.

Himalaya - Exploring the Roof of...

John Keay

Himalaya is one of the world's most extraordinary geophysical, historical, environmental and social regions.  
 
Historian John Keay introduces us to the myriad mysteries of this vast, confounding and utterly fascinating corner of the planet, and makes the case that it is one of our most essential – and endangered – wonders. 
 
More rugged and elevated than any other zone on earth, it embraces all of Tibet, six of the world's eight major mountain ranges and nearly all its highest peaks. It contains around 50,000 glaciers and the most extensive permafrost outside the polar regions. Over an area nearly as big as Europe, the population is scattered, often nomadic and always sparse. Many languages are spoken, some are written and few are related. 
 
Religious and political affiliations are equally diverse. Borders are disputed, while jealous neighbours shy away from a common strategy for protecting an environment in which desert meets rainforest and temperatures can fluctuate between 30 and -30°C in the course of a single day. 
 
For centuries, Himalaya has captivated an illustrious succession of admirers, from explorers, surveyors and sportsmen, to botanists and zoologists, ethnologists and geologists, missionaries and mountaineers.
