The Death of God: The Culture of our Post-Christian Era (Insurrections: Critical Studies In Religion, Politics And Culture)
by Gabriel Vahanian“The most exciting theological book I have read in many years. In some ways, it is a parallel to Karl Barth’s Römerbrief.”—RUDOLF BULTMANN“An unhesitating, unflinching analysis of an age which, Vahanian believes, has no concerns even to deny God…a cultural analysis of the religious, political, artistic, literary and societal movements of our era.”—PAUL RAMSEY“In his preface to The Death of God, Paul Ramsey, Professor of Religion at Princeton university, explains that we are now in the second phase of the period post-mortem Dei—the first phase was anti-Christian, ours is post-Christian…Vahanian’s message has to do with the ‘dishabilitation’ of the Christian tradition, with its replacement by bourgeois religiosity and a theology of ‘immanentism,’ with the desperate effort of Western culture to shake off the ‘crippling shackles’ of a superannuated piety.“The quality of mind which enters into this book is unique and fascinating…Vahanian is a fierce but eloquent prophet of the Lord.”—ROBERT E. FITCH, New York Times Book Review

Death is But a Dream: Hope and meaning at life's end
by Dr Christopher KerrThe first book to explore the meaningful dreams and visions that bring comfort as death nears. Experiences at the end of life testify to our greatest needs: to love and be loved, to be nurtured and feel connected, to be remembered and forgiven. Christopher Kerr is a hospice doctor. All of his patients die. Yet he has tended to thousands of patients who, in the face of death, speak of love, meaning and grace. They reveal that there is hope beyond cure as they transition to focus on personal meaning. In this extraordinary and beautiful book, Dr. Kerr shares his patients' stories and his own research pointing to death as not purely the end of life, but as a final passage of humanity and transcendence.Drawing on interviews with over 1,200 patients and more than a decade of quantified data , Dr. Kerr reveals why pre-death dreams and visions are remarkable events that bring comfort and exemplify human resilience. These are not regular dreams. Described as "more real than real," they frequently include loved ones long gone and mark the transition from distress to acceptance. These end-of-life experiences help patients restore meaning, make sense of the dying process and assist in reclaiming it as an experience in which they have a say. They also benefit the bereaved who get relief from seeing their loved ones pass with a sense of calm closure.Beautifully written with astonishing stories, this book, at its heart, celebrates the power to reclaim how we die, while soothing the bereaved who witness their loved ones go with unqualified grace.

Death in New York: History and Culture of Burials, Undertakers & Executions
by K. KrombieLike every aspect of life in the Big Apple, how New Yorkers have interacted with death is as diverse as each of the countless individuals who have called the city home. Waves of immigration brought unique burial customs as archaeological excavations uncovered the graves of indigenous Lenape and enslaved Africans. Events such as the 1788 Doctors' Riot--a response to years of body snatching by medical students and physicians--contributed to new laws protecting the deceased. Overcrowding and epidemics led to the construction of the "Cemetery Belt," a wide stretch of multi-faith burial grounds throughout Brooklyn and Queens. From experiments in embalming to capital punishment and the far-reaching industry of handling the dead, author K. Krombie unveils a tapestry of stories centered on death in New York.
Death, Hope And Sex: Steps To An Evolutionary Ecology Of Mind And Morality
by James S. ChisholmBy showing how and why human nature is what it is, evolutionary theory can help us see better what we need to do to improve the human condition. Following evolutionary theory to its logical conclusion, Death, Hope and Sex uses life history theory and attachment theory to construct a model of human nature in which critical features are understood in terms of the development of alternative reproductive strategies contingent on environmental risk and uncertainty. James Chisholm examines the implications of this model for perspectives on concerns associated with human reproduction, including teen pregnancy, and young male violence. He thus develops new approaches for thorny issues such as the nature-nurture and mind-body dichotomies. Bridging the gap between the social and biological sciences, this far-reaching volume will be a source of inspiration, debate and discussion for all those interested in the evolution of human nature and the potential for an evolutionary humanism.

Death by Comfort: How modern life is killing us and what we can do about it
by Paul TaylorOur genome has not changed in over 45,000 years, but the world has changed enormously and there are multiple mismatches with modern life. Homo sapiens evolved and thrived because we hunted down prey with the tools we made, ate a range of natural foods from the environment and led highly physical lives necessary for the proper functioning of our bodies and brains. Now, most of us spend most of our day sitting on our backsides, and more than 50% of our diet is made up of ultra-processed foods that hijack our brains' rewards systems while making us overweight and sick.Exposure to cold and heat caused our ancestors to upregulate critical stress response genes, which made us more resilient. Now, our thermoneutral environments are making us soft.We used to live in small tribal communities where everyone had a role and purpose. Now we are digitally connected and physically disconnected.Modern humans are the most overweight, depressed, medicated and addicted cohort of adults that has ever lived, yet life has never been so good!Backed by powerful research, Death by Comfort explores exactly what's wrong and what we need to do in order to survive and thrive in the modern world.
Death by Carbs: Are you eating yourself into an early grave?
by Dr Stephen K. FairleyThere are three serious, widespread addictions in Western society that account for countless unnecessary and premature deaths. We all have to die sometime; these things just help to ensure our death is sooner rather than later. Tobacco and alcohol are self-explanatory and accepted without question by most people. What most of us don't seem to realise is that far more people die prematurely from carbohydrate poisoning than tobacco and alcohol combined. Premature death by carbohydrate poisoning is a slow but steady process that is potentially completely avoidable. Each year this results in the premature deaths of many millions of unsuspecting people worldwide, particularly in Western societies. Are you at risk? Do you know how to avoid this Grim Reaper that is trying to take your soul to another place before you are ready to leave? This book reviews the scientific evidence behind the claims.

Death and Dying (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series)
by Piemonte Nicole Shawn AbreuAn examination of the contemporary medicalization of death and dying that calls us to acknowledge instead death's existential and emotional realities.Death is a natural, inevitable, and deeply human process, and yet Western medicine tends to view it as a medical failure. In their zeal to prevent death, physicians and hospitals often set patients and their families on a seemingly unstoppable trajectory toward medical interventions that may actually increase suffering at the end of life. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series examines the medicalization of death and dying and proposes a different approach--one that acknowledges death's existential and emotional realities. The authors--one an academic who teaches and studies end-of-life care, and the other a physician trained in hospice and palliative care--offer an account of Western-style death and dying that is informed by both research and personal experience. They examine the medical profession's attitude toward death as a biological dysfunction that needs fixing; describe the hospice movement, as well as movements for palliative care and aid in dying, and why they failed to influence mainstream medicine; consider our reluctance to have end-of-life conversations; and investigate the commodification of medicine and the business of dying. To help patients die in accordance with their values, they say, those who care for the dying should focus less on delaying death by any means possible and more on being present with the dying on their journey.

Death: The Final Mystery
by Lionel And FanthorpeThe greatest human problem is that we are all born in the condemned cell. Money and medical science can extend the human lifespan significantly — perhaps up to one thousand years via cloning and cryogenics — but in the end, when the last medical miracle has been exhausted, Death still waits patiently for us. In Death: The Final Mystery, Lionel and Patricia Fanthorpe take their investigative skills to those last moments of life and beyond, exploring such puzzling topics as near-death and out-of-body experiences, reincarnation theories, hypno-regression, and automatic writing and other phenomena of the séance room. Evidence is drawn from trance mediums, the writings of mystics, and clear, hard facts reported by reliable eyewitnesses.

Dear William: A Father's Memoir of Addiction, Recovery, Love, and Loss
by David Magee"Shot through with hope, purpose and an unflinching love, it's a story that must be read."—Newsweek Award-winning columnist and author David Magee addresses his poignant story to all those who will benefit from better understanding substance misuse so that his hard-earned wisdom can save others from the fate of his late son, William.The last time David Magee saw his son alive, William told him to write their family&’s story in the hopes of helping others. Days later, David found William dead from an accidental drug overdose. Now, in a memoir suggestive of Augusten Burroughs meets Glennon Doyle, award-winning columnist and author David Magee answers his son's wish with a compelling, heartbreaking, and impossible to put down book that speaks to every individual and family. With honesty and heart, Magee shares his family&’s intergenerational struggle with substance abuse and mental health issues, as well as his own reckoning with family secrets—confronting the dark truth about the adoptive parents who raised him and a decades-long search for identity. He wrestles with personal substance misuse that began at a young age and, as a father, he sees destructive patterns repeat and develop within his own children. While striving to find a truly authentic voice as a writer despite authoring nearly a dozen previous books, Magee ultimately understands that William had been right and their own family&’s history is the story he needs to tell. A poignant and uplifting message of hope translates unimaginable tragedy into an inspirational commitment to saving others, as David founded the William Magee Institute for Student Wellbeing at the University of Mississippi. His mission to share solutions to self-medication and addiction, particularly as it touches America&’s high school and college students, emphasizes that William&’s story is about much more than a tragic addiction—it&’s an American story of a family broken by loss and remade with love. Dear William inspires readers to find purpose, build resilience, and break the cycles that damage too many individuals and the people who love them. It&’s a life-changing book revealing how voids can be filled, and peace—even profound, lasting happiness—is possible.

Tennis great Billie Jean King suggests, "Use your talents to win, not only for yourself, but for generations to come." These women and award-winning actresses Shirley Jones, Ruby Dee, Mo'Nique, and Phylicia Rashad, Senator Mary L. Landrieu, Nobel Prize winner Rosalyn S.

Dear Solomon, My Finances Are a Mess
by Al SmithTaming the Money Beast is often a conquest that is never achieved even by those who put forth the effort. One could get multiple university degrees with honors, but never be instructed on even the basics of handling money.Money is simply a tool. In the hands of someone who has acquired and cultivated the skills to use it, money can bring about incredible benefits to be enjoyed by many. In the hands of a novice or one void of skills, money can bring tremendous trouble and even destroy lives. The pursuit of wisdom and understanding in expertly using this tool, is a worthy pursuit.This book draws from the wisdom of Solomon, the wealthiest man to ever live and a man God endowed with “a wise and discerning heart” like none other (1 Kings 3:12).The wisdom of Solomon is displayed everywhere you look. Study any Fortune Five Hundred company, and you will discover that their success can be attributed to following this wisdom. Study companies that have failed and you will discover many of Solomon’s proverbs have been violated. The same holds true for individuals. The principles taught in Proverbs are divine laws that are always active just as much as the laws of physics are active.The Book of Proverbs, primarily authored by Solomon, is filled with practical wisdom in virtually all areas of life, including being packed with verses devoted to financial matters. This wisdom is ageless and will benefit all who set their hearts to learn and discern.Contained within the pages of this book, are the essential principle of being a seeker of wisdom and knowledge. You will learn the vital importance of developing character, cultivating integrity, and guarding your reputation. On how your life should be marked by being an excellent worker. This requires skills in planning, setting priorities, recognizing and seizing opportunities, and avoiding the pitfalls of pursuing riches at the expense of all else.The vital characteristic of focus and commitment will help you with motives, curb your impatience, reveal greed, and unpack the dangers of a lottery mentality. The peril of accumulating debt, the foolishness of perpetually overspending, and the tendency to be wasteful are examined.Falsehoods are exposed. Solomon is not interested in making sure he does not offend you he is interested in being brutally honest with you. So, this book includes admonitions on tempering false expectations, understanding false impressions, avoiding false security, and basing your financial life on truth.As with any endeavor, one must recognize and eradicate the weeds that will overtake progress include compromise, envy, phoniness, injustice, and arrogance. Solomon is clear on the folly of allowing these weeds to take root.Having proper attitudes are also important principles discussed in this book. We must learn the value of generosity, the wisdom of teamwork, and the damaging role that unchecked selfishness can play.Of course, handling money wisely is the essence of this book. Preparation is the key and you cannot skip or rush over this key. Preparation always precedes the proper use of money. Paying attention to details will serve you well. Knowing and understanding where you stand each step of the way is essential.These principles work regardless of your spiritual beliefs, but there is a spiritual component at work in these truths. Without fail, if this wisdom is diligently followed and incessantly applied, you will at times be amazed at the results; results that cannot easily be explained.This book will take you on a journey if you are game; it is a long journey but an exciting one. It will give you a spring in your step and have you eager to arise in the morning. It will give you a sense of true accomplishment before as you rest you head on the pillow at night. I promise that you won’t be sorry if you make the commitment and resolve to finally understand the rules of the financial road. The path is open before you – all are welcome!
