Mid-faith crisis : finding a path through doubt, disillusionment, and dead ends
by Catherine McNiel
"Navigating the Storm: Understanding the Crisis of Faith Many of us embarked on our spiritual journeys filled with hope and certainty, only to find ourselves questioning the very foundation of our beliefs as life unfolded. The faith that once seemed unshakeable may falter in the face of broken trust, unanswered prayers, and the harsh realities of worldly suffering. But you're not alone-mid-faith crises are a shared human experience that can feel isolating yet are a crucial part of our spiritual journey. In Mid Faith Crisis, authors Catherine McNiel and Jason Hague provide a compassionate exploration of this challenging phase. With backgrounds in theology and personal narratives of their own spiritual upheavals, they guide readers through the complex landscape of doubt and disillusionment. Mid Faith Crisis candidly addresses the often-unspoken realities of faith's evolution, offering solace and practical insights for navigating through turbulent waters. Through storytelling and reflection, McNiel and Hague offer practices and disciplines that help reclaim what is genuine and discard what is not. They reassure us that the crisis of faith is not an endpoint but a transformative stage that can lead to a more sincere and robust belief system. If you're in themidst of a spiritual reevaluation, Mid Faith Crisis will serve as a beacon of hope, reminding us that while the road may be rocky, the destination holds the promise of deeper faith and connection"

The almightier : how money became God, greed became virtue, and debt became sin
by Paul Vigna
"The complete story of how we came to worship money, and how we can stop greed from destroying everything. The pursuit of wealth is considered an essential function of human nature, and greed is an unspoken civic virtue. Many of us revere billionaires and Wall Street rain-makers, then complain about "the system" being rigged, and wonder why the country doesn't seem to work for the little guy anymore. Some blame the Deep State for income inequality and corruption, and others blame capitalism, but the truth is that these issues have much deeper roots: our devotion to money is a manmade invention that has transformed over thousands of years to replace religion as the foundation of our society, and it is tearing civilization apart. In The Almightier, journalist Paul Vigna uncovers the forgotten history of money, tracing the uneasy and often accidental alliance between wealth and religion as it developed from ancient city-states to today's secular world, where religious devotion has receded and greed has stepped in to fill the void. Through engaging anecdotes, original research, and fresh perspectives on the causes of the many challenges we face today, Vigna makes a compelling argument that money has no power apart from the power we give it. We can build a better future, where we don't need to choose between helping others and getting ahead. But we can't repair the damage that greed has done until we understand how it took over our world in the first place"-- Provided by publisher

When the stones speak : the remarkable discovery of the City of David and what Israel's enemies don't want you to know
by Doron Spielman
"Since the founding of Israel in 1948, the Jewish people have faced nine wars against multiple enemies. Yet, beyond the physical conflicts, a deeper ideological battle has been waged against Israel and the Jewish people. This war, crafted by certain Arableaders and echoed by international organizations like the United Nations, seeks to erase the Jewish people's ancestral ties to the land, casting them as outsiders, imposters, and "settlers." One thing, however, stands in the way of the denialists: the 3,800-year history of the City of David. Recent excavations in Jerusalem have revealed that just south of the Old City lies an older site, known as the City of David. Archeologists at the site are unearthing evidence that proves the Jewish people's origin story in the land for over three millennia. These findings threaten to deal a fatal blow to the propaganda and historical revisionism that have convinced many globally that Jews and Israelis are foreign outsiders with no connection to the land. Every shovel of dirt reveals that while others may claim to be indigenous to Jerusalem, the Jewish people are, in fact, more indigenous to the Land of Israel than perhaps any other group living anywhere in the world. This is the timely story of those who transformed City of David from a neglected hilltop village into one of the most important archeological heritage sites in the world, while facing powerful global institutions and terror groups that would do almost anything to keep this truth hidden. Highly relevantto the ongoing politicization of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this book foreshadows the events and historical denialism that unfolded with Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. As former vice president of the City of David Foundation, Doron Spielman has guided numerous visitors--including donors, diplomats, professors, celebrities, and American politicians--on a journey into the City of David's tunnels. While often holding vastly different political views, these visitors agree on one thing: the story of the City of David must be told"
