This book argues that mental life is organized by and around affect. It proposes a clinical model for understanding how affect influences states of consciousness and self. It illustrates how, from moment to moment, affect determines the world we know, how we are disposed to being in it, and our capacity to function in it. After introducing consciousness and self as features of mind that have posed daunting problems for philosophy, neurology, and psychoanalysis, subsequent chapters propose a model for understanding them at the clinical level. Initial chapters are devoted to the influence of affect on the structure and dynamics of normal waking consciousness and on the self’s capacity to act agentically, to relate intersubjectively, and to develop itself. Final chapters discuss disordered states of consciousness and impeded self-functioning, due to affect dysregulation and what all this looks like in patients with preoccupied and avoidant attachment patterns. Drawing on psychoanalysis, attachment theory, interpersonal and affective neurobiology, and traumatology, this book offers a fresh perspective on the importance of affect for psychoanalysts and psychodynamic psychotherapists.

What can you do to be a force for racial justice? Many White Christians are eager to fight against racism and for racial justice. But what steps can they take to make good, lasting change? How can they get involved without unintentionally doing more harm than good? In this practical and illuminating guide drawn from more than twenty years of cross-cultural work and learning from some of the greatest leaders of color, pastor and racial justice advocate Daniel Hill provides nine practices rooted in Scripture that will position you to be an active supporter of inclusion, equality, and racial justice. With stories, studies, and examples from his own journey, Hill will show you:How to get free of the impact of White supremacy individually and recognize that it works systemicallyHow to talk about race in an intelligent and respectful wayHow to recognize which strategies are helpful and which are harmfulWhat you can do to make a difference every day, after protests and major events We cannot experience holistic justice without confronting and dismantling White supremacy. But as we follow Jesus--the one who is supreme over all things--into overturning false power systems, we will become better advocates of the liberating and unconditional love that God extends to us all.

The more you understand someone's history, the better you can see their humanity. This is true for individuals as well as for society at large. Race relations have suffered because of the erasure of important Black history and cultural context. As we fill in the gaps of our collective knowledge, communities can grow in understanding, empathy, and solidarity. Terence Lester shares the buried history of the struggles Black people have faced against unjust systems. He tells powerful stories of courage, injustice, pain, and triumph, including ones from his own history. He also unpacks the sociological and cultural dynamics of unconscious bias and inattentional ignorance that keep us apart, and how they can be overcome. This honest account of what it's like to be Black in America paves the way for the church to move beyond showing support from a distance toward loving one another in long-term solidarity, advocacy, and friendship.

Daniel Hill will never forget the day he heard these words: "Daniel, you may be white, but don't let that lull you into thinking you have no culture. White culture is very real. In fact, when white culture comes in contact with other cultures, it almost always wins. So it would be a really good idea for you to learn about your culture." Confused and unsettled by this encounter, Hill began a journey of understanding his own white identity. Today he is an active participant in addressing and confronting racial and systemic injustices. And in this compelling and timely book, he shows you the seven stages to expect on your own path to cultural awakening. It's crucial to understand both personal and social realities in the areas of race, culture, and identity. This book will give you a new perspective on being white and also empower you to be an agent of reconciliation in our increasingly diverse and divided world.

Drawing on attachment, developmental trauma, implicit processes and neurobiology, major theorists from Allan Schore to Daniel Stern have argued how and why regulated affect, or emotion, is key to our optimal functioning. This book translates the intricacies of the theory into a cogent clinical synthesis.

När FN, EU och resten av världens ledare diskuterar problemet Mellan Östern så undviker de ett ämne som är grunden till hela konflikten, nämligen religionen. Det finns muslimer som vågar säga sanningen och erkänna att striden mot Israel är inte över marken, då de arabiska nationerna har tillsammans 1000 gånger större landyta än den Israel har, utan kampen sker för en princip sak som leder till frågan om vems gud är den mäktigaste. Därför är en två staters lösning dödfött, för ingen sann troende på endera sidan är villig till att backa bort från kravet att få ha kontroll över det Heliga Landet. Före år 1967 sa Arafat att Jerusalem är Israel huvudstad och att landet är judarnas, samt allt han önskade sig var Gazaremsan. Men efter förlusten i sexdagarskriget var han nu plötsligt en palestinier och alltifrån denna dag har all fredsförhandlingar varit en chimär i väntan på att de skall återvinna styrka nog att återuppta stridigheterna mot Israel. För i ett religionskrig så kan det inte finnas någon fred förrän den egna sidan har vunnit en total seger.

This book examines the divine nature in terms of maximal greatness. It investigates each attribute associated with maximal greatness - omnipotence, omniscience, perfect goodness, eternity, and beauty, arguing that maximal greatness is necessary and sufficient for divinity.

I boken Rymdmolnets Återkomst är supreme lord Mork Ness nu beredd på att träda fram i alla hans kraft för att, i en sista desperat strid om människors valmöjligheter, besegra Overlord Iam och kung Rex härar. För att uppnå detta mål har ondskans fader på nytt lyckats samla ihop en mäktig styrka som är långt större än den mångmiljon armé som anföll Bokens folk för tusen år sedan. Lockade av Mork Ness löften om stort segerbyte och närda av hans illa dolda, men nu helt öppet växande hat, så drar hans armén ner mot Salem City. Kapten Mika, Leilani och deras vänner, är chockade över hur fort människor låter sig lockas till att ta upp vapen för att ge sig in i en strid där slutet är redan skrivet. Men Mork Ness löften blir till en drog som människan vill eller kan inte vara förutan och i blint raseri marscherar härskarorna fram för att helt övertäcka landet. Men en domedag har aldrig varit långt borta och i ett ögonblick, i ett nu, hörs basuners ljud och allt tycks vara över. Men detta var bra början till slutet för först skall en rättvisa skipas över mänskligheten och därefter en slutlig dom fällas. För en del blir domen en märklig överraskning, även om utlåtandet stämmer överens med deras tidigare val i tillvaron. Och för alla de som valde kung Rex som Overlord, så blir domen till en lika stor överraskning med ett fortsatt liv på en ny jord.

I andra boken Fiskar och Vattumän samlar sig de två motståndarsidorna under respektive symboler. Konspirationerna och åsiktsskiljaktigheterna ökar hela tiden och kapten Mika, navigatör Leilani och deras vänner, finner att de ständigt råkar ut för problem som de trodde bara hörde till krigsfilmer från åren före fredsriket.

Trilogi - Världarnas Sista Krig! Denna roman, i tre delar, är en lättläst spännande berättelse som gjord för ensamma stunder i hammocken, men den kan också vara en inspirationskälla för djupa samtal vid brasan och långt in på småtimmarna. Händelserna börjar vid år 999 av en tusenårig fred, och sträcker sig som en bro ut över mörka vatten, där ondskan i segerviss arrogans råder, för att i sista boken nå fram till en avgörande strid, en slutdom och en stad i ljus.

A handy guide to the major figures and issues in Christian philosophy from Augustine to the present. This volume covers a broad historical sweep and takes into account those non-Christian philosophers that have had a great impact on the Christian tradition. However, it concentrates on the issues that perplex Christian philosophers as they seek to think through their faith in a philosophical way and their philosophical beliefs in the light of their faith. Examples of the topics discussed are the question of whether and how God knows the future, whether we actually know that God exists, and what Athens has to do with Jerusalem. The leaders of the recent revival of Christian analytic philosophy, especially Alvin Plantinga, Nicholas Wolterstorff, William Alston, and Robert Adams are also included. This book will be of interest to those studying Christian philosophy and to Christians seeking to think philosophically about their faith.
