All These Things Shall Give Thee Experience
by Neal A. Maxwellin the midst of deep affliction, the Prophet Joseph Smith was told, "All these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good." The world at that moment was shown anew that God is aware of our suffering, and that pain is not without purpose. Such concepts are not always easy to accept, but, as Elder Maxwell says, "the hardness is usually not in their complexity, but in the deep demands these doctrines make on us." All These Thing Shall Give Thee Experience focuses on some of the "hard doctrines" that members of the Church must come to grips with in the latter days. Elder Maxwell counsels on such interesting and timely subjects as the purposes and types of suffering, the need to accept and to give counsel and correction, the place of prayer, and the importance of following the leaders of the Church.

All Things Are Possible: The Healing and Charismatic Revivals in Modern America (Encounters: Explorations in Folklore and Ethnomusicology)
by David Edwin Harrell Jr.&“The first book to tell the story of the enterprisers who have personal followings . . . a missing link in the chain of American religious movements.&”—Martin E. Marty, author of October 31, 1517: Martin Luther and the Day that Changed the World Written by a Professor Emeritus at Auburn University, this is the first objective history of the great revivals that swept the country after World War II. It tells the story of the victories and defeats of such giants of the revival as William Branham, Oral Roberts, Jack Coe, T. L. Osborn, and A. A. Allen. It also tells of the powerful evangelists who carried on the revival, including Robert Schambach and Morris Cerullo.

He . . . tell[s] the story in a largely biographical format. This makes for lively reading.&”—The New York Times Book Review &“A book about healing revivalists that takes them seriously and treats them fairly.&”—Journal of Southern History &“Will be a definitive work for some years to come.&”—Reviews in American History &“Will attract readers interested in the reasons behind the various fat and lean periods among revivalists.&”—Publishers Weekly &“Harrell&’s book will doubtless be the definitive work on the subject for a long while—who else will wade through Healing Waters and Miracle Magazine with such fastidious care?&”—Kirkus Reviews
All Things Are Too Small: Essays in Praise of Excess
by Becca RothfeldA spiky, funny and intellectually dazzling response to modern culture - from BDSM to mindfulness to Sally Rooney'Bracing and brilliant ... scintillating writing of breadth and power' Kate Kellaway, Observer'A radical and important book' James Wood, author of Serious Noticing'Seriously precise ... and very funny' TelegraphIn All Things Are Too Small, virtuoso young critic and philosopher Becca Rothfeld turns her clear gaze to a series of interconnected cultural and political questions - about aesthetics, taste, literature, equality, power and sexuality. In a healthy culture, she argues, economic security allows for wild extremes of aesthetic experimentation, yet in our society we've got it flipped. The gap between rich and poor yawns hideously wide, while we compensate with misguided attempts to effect equality in love and art, where it does not belong.Our culture's embrace of minimalism has left our souls impoverished: decluttering has reduced our living spaces to empty non-places; the mindfulness trend has emptied our minds of the thoughts that make us who we are; the regularization of sex has drained it of unpredictability and therefore true eroticism; and our quest for balance has yielded fictions whose protagonists aspire to excise their appetites. As intellectually illuminating as it is gloriously carnal and earthy, All Things Are Too Small is a much needed tonic in a world of oppressive sterility and limitation, and a soul cry for derangement, imbalance, obsession, ravishment and disorder.
All Things Are Too Small: Essays in Praise of Excess
by Becca RothfeldA glorious call to throw off restraint and balance in favor of excess, abandon, and disproportion, in essays ranging from such topics as mindfulness, decluttering, David Cronenberg, and consent.In her debut essay collection, “brilliant and stylish” (The Washington Post) critic Becca Rothfeld takes on one of the most sacred cows of our time: the demand that we apply the virtues of equality and democracy to culture and aesthetics. The result is a culture that is flattened and sanitized, purged of ugliness, excess, and provocation.Our embrace of minimalism has left us spiritually impoverished. We see it in our homes, where we bring in Marie Kondo to rid them of their idiosyncrasies and darknesses. We take up mindfulness to do the same thing to our heads, emptying them of the musings, thoughts, and obsessions that make us who we are. In the bedroom, a new wave of puritanism has drained sex of its unpredictability and therefore true eroticism. In our fictions, the quest for balance has given us protagonists who aspire only to excise their appetites. We have flipped our values, Rothfeld argues: while the gap between rich and poor yawns hideously wide, we strive to compensate with egalitarianism in art, erotics, and taste, where it does not belong and where it quashes wild experiments and exuberance.Lush, provocative, and bitingly funny, All Things Are Too Small is a subversive soul cry to restore imbalance, obsession, gluttony, and ravishment to all domains of our lives.

All Things Being Equal: Why Math Is the Key to a Better World
by John MightonFrom the award-winning founder of JUMP Math, All Things Being Equal is a proven guide to succeeding in math, and a passionate argument for why this success can and must be available to the majority instead of the privileged few. For two decades, John Mighton has developed strategies for fostering intellectual potential in all children through learning math. Math, Mighton says, provides us with mental tools of incredible power. When we learn math we learn to see patterns, to think logically and systematically, to draw analogies, to perceive risk, to understand cause and effect--among many other critical skills. Yet we tolerate and in fact expect a vast performance gap in math among students, and live in a world where many adults aren't equipped with these crucial tools. This learning gap is unnecessary, dangerous and tragic, he cautions, and it has led us to a problem of intellectual poverty which is apparent everywhere--in fake news, political turmoil, floundering economies, even in erroneous medical diagnoses. In All Things Being Equal, Mighton argues that math study is an ideal starting point to break down social inequality and empower individuals to build a smarter, kinder, more equitable world. Bringing together the latest cognitive research and incremental learning strategies, Mighton goes deep into the classroom and beyond to offer a hopeful--and urgent--vision for a numerate society.
