Book SynopsisA bold, expert, and actionable map for the re-invention of America’s broken mental health care system.“Healing is truly one of the best books ever written about mental illness, and I think I’ve read them all. —Pete Earley, author of CrazyAs director of the National Institute of Mental Health, Dr. Thomas Insel was giving a presentation when the father of a boy with schizophrenia yelled from the back of the room, “Our house is on fire and you’re telling me about the chemistry of the paint! What are you doing to put out the fire?” Dr. Insel knew in his heart that the answer was not nearly enough. The gargantuan American mental health industry was not healing millions who were desperately in need. He left his position atop the mental health research world to investigate all that was broken—and what a better path to mental health might look like. In the United States, we have treatm

Book SynopsisIn First Principles, Alessandra Lemma examines the centrality of applied ethics to psychoanalytic practice, The book focuses on the articulation of an accessible framework for developing and exercising an identifiable method - an ethical self-discipline - to support critical reflection on therapists'' psychoanalytic work with patients and to help them to approach the resolution of ethical dilemmas. Integrating key concepts from the field of applied ethics, and bioethics specifically, Lemma re-interprets them for use within a psychoanalytic framework, articulating how we can understand psychoanalytically the concepts of beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, justice, and veracity and deploy these to guide clinical work. Using clinical examples, the book outlines a working model for how therapists can reflect on their practice, as well as devoting a chapter on how to teach ethics within psychoanalytic psychotherapy trainings and outlining a detailed curriculum for teaching ethics. This book is essential reading for psychoanalytic practitioners as well as clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counsellors, and psychoanalysts who work in the psychoanalytic tradition.Trade ReviewLemma's deeply reasoned and erudite advocacy for ethical self-discipline on the part of psychoanalysts eschews both stodgy moralizing and formulaic guidelines. Instead, she recommends the cultivation and sustenance of psychic space for truth, fairness, and respect for the patient's essential Otherness. Lemma's approach is characterized by a gentle iconoclasm that challenges us to leave the comfort of normative narratives, societal or psychoanalytic, while listening to our patients. Her oeuvre is wide-ranging, writing style elegant, and arguments convincing. The result is a book of rare literary luminosity, theoretical soundness, and clinical significance. * Salman Akhtar, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Jefferson Medical College; Training and Supervising Analyst, Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia *This remarkable book manages to be sophisticated, deeply thoughtful, expressive, lively and practical at the same time. It offers an approach to ethics focused especially on psychoanalysis but applicable to all forms of psychotherapy and elsewhere too. Few authors have absorbed the challenge of the philosophy of ethics so completely and demonstrated so brilliantly not only that it is a vital element in regulating psychoanalysis but also that it has the capacity to guide and strengthen psychotherapeutic training and practice for the benefit of therapists and patients alike. * Professor Stephen Frosh, Department of Psychosocial Studies Birkbeck, University of London and author of Those Who Come After:Postmemory, Acknowledgement and Forgiveness. *The most important skill in life is how to think ethically. Alessandra Lemma teaches this skill to psychotherapists. To engage in rational ethical deliberation in a mind propelled by unconscious impulses is the human challenge. Stunning and original, wise and empathic. A classic in practical ethics. * Professor Julian Savulescu, Chen Su Lan Centennial Professor in Medical Ethics; Director, Centre for Biomedical Ethics, National University of Singapore and Uehiro Chair in Practical Ethics Co-Director, Wellcome Centre for Ethics and Humanities, University of Oxford *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1: The unbearable silence of responsibility 2: Bioethical principles 3: A psychoanalytic principled approach 4: The ethics of listening 5: On getting it wrong 6: Apologies matter 7: Principles in action 8: Developing the ethical chóros Epilogue: A plea for a measure of irony

Book SynopsisShaun Gallagher offers an account of psychopathologies as disorders of the self. The Self and its Disorders develops an interdisciplinary approach to an ''integrative'' perspective in psychiatry. In contrast to some integrative approaches that focus on narrow brain-based conceptions, or on symptomology, this book takes its bearings from embodied and enactive conceptions of human experience. Gallagher offers an understanding of the self as a pattern of processes that include bodily, experiential, affective, cognitive, intersubjective, narrative, ecological and normative factors. He provides a philosophical analysis of the notion of self-pattern; then, drawing on phenomenological, developmental, clinical and experimental evidence, he proposes a method to study the effects of psychopathologies on the self-pattern. The book includes specific discussions of schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, depression, borderline personality disorder, and autism, among other disorders, as well as the effectTable of ContentsIntroduction 1: A pattern theory of self 2: The nature of patterns 3: A threefold method for studying the self-pattern 4: Dynamical relations in the self-pattern 5: Disorder, dissociation and disruption in self-narrative 6: Phenomenological anchors: Mapping experiences of agency and ownership 7: Autonomy in the self-pattern: Implications for deep brain stimulation and affordance-based therapies 8: Artificial transformations of the self-pattern 9: Mindfulness in the self-pattern 10: The cruel and unusual phenomenologies of torture and solitary confinement Bibliography

Book SynopsisThe deluxe edition of this Publishers Weekly bestseller includes three all-new chapters. Join Emily and Laura as they reveal how the gospel applies to your everyday life, bringing hope, freedom, and joy in every area of motherhood. Trade Review“Parenting is often the crucible in which we learn what we can and cannot control. Laura and Emily remind us that while we cannot control people or circumstances, we can control our perspective. They offer us a framework for motherhood that transcends time and culture but that also faithfully addresses us in the here and now. I'm thankful for this hope-filled book.”—Jen Wilkin, director of classes and curriculum, The Village Church, and author of Women of the Word, None like Him, and In His Image“Reading Risen Motherhood is like enjoying a long conversation with two girlfriends who will make you laugh out loud, comfort your tears, and faithfully speak life-giving words of truth to your soul. With wisdom and insight, Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler help moms connect the story line of Scripture to the daily realities of motherhood. This book is one every mom should read—I can’t wait to share it with others!”—Melissa Kruger, director of women’s content for The Gospel Coalition and the author of Walking with God in the Season of Motherhood“Emily and Laura are the best friends I wish I'd had during the difficult days of early motherhood, when my patience wore thin, my boredom loomed large, and my sense of worth and purpose became muddled. The wisdom they have to offer in the pages of this book is seasoned and scriptural.”—Nancy Guthrie, author, Bible teacher, and ongoing pursuer of risen motherhood“Risen Motherhood points us to the Source and Sustainer of resurrection vitality and life that weary mamas so desperately need. Its pages are Word-saturated, helping us to think biblically about how the gospel applies to the majestic and the mundane moments of motherhood."—Karen Hodge, board chair of Risen Motherhood, coordinator of women’s ministries for the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), and coauthor of Transformed and Life-Giving Leadership“Emily and Laura want you to know the gospel so intimately that it sinks deep into your mind and heart and transforms every tiny corner of your life. These two moms are wonderful traveling companions—they know the heat of the moment, the temptations that come with deep trials, and the unexpected pain of Legos underfoot. Let their life-giving words point you to Christ and remind you that the light of the Son has dawned and that you walk in the warmth of a risen motherhood.”—Abigail Dodds, author of (A)Typical Woman, blogger and regular contributor at Desiring God“This wonderful book offers deep sympathy and understanding to those who face the stress and challenges of motherhood. It also provides moms with a clear vision of their profound purpose and the hope they need to live vibrantly and meaningfully within this divine role. I highly recommend this book.”—Sally Clarkson, bestselling author and host of the At Home with Sally podcast“Admittedly, I am not exactly the core audience for Risen Motherhood—the ministry or the book. That said, I always keep my ear to the ground for ministries I can grow to trust and then recommend to others. I’m delighted to say that for as long as I’ve followed Emily’s and Laura’s work I have benefitted from it. Even better, I have seen many Christian moms I know and love read their website, listen to their podcast, and grow through it. I’m thankful they’ve now added this book to the many channels through which they serve God by serving his people.”—Tim Challies, bestselling author and popular blogger and book reviewer“Risen Motherhood delivers practical and present wisdom, anchored to timeless biblical truth. In Risen Motherhood, moms find empathy, encouragement, and the reminder that true hope for moms is through the transforming work of the gospel, alone.”—Ruth Chou Simons, bestselling author of GraceLaced and Beholding and Becoming: The Art of Everyday Worship

Book SynopsisHillson provides a biological context for human teeth, a guide to key skills, and an introduction to current issues. Designed to be the core textbook for courses on bioarchaeology, forensic anthropology, and palaeoanthropology, this is the definitive manual for tooth identification, variation, histology, wear, and disease.Trade Review'The field of dental anthropology has evolved rapidly since the first edition of this self-titled book, and this new edition expertly presents updated findings and technological advances across the field. Notably, it was and remains the go-to resource for the macro- and microscopic study of dental development, structure and function, including entire chapters devoted to the principal oral tissues.' Joel D. Irish, Liverpool John Moores University'I taught dental anthropology at both the graduate and undergraduate levels for 40 years and had to use three textbooks plus supplemental readings to cover the topics I wished to include: morphology, histology, growth, pathology, among others for bioarchaeological and forensic applications. Now with Hillson's Dental Anthropology I would only have to use one. Hillson challenges the teacher, student, and researcher to think in new directions and consider alternative interpretations of dental data. This book has updated illustrations; an extensive up-to-date bibliography; and further reading sections at the end of each chapter making it an ideal textbook for dental anthropology or for use by students beginning their research careers. I cannot think of a single topic dealing with teeth from an anthropological, archaeological, or forensic perspective that is not covered in Hillson's book. I wish I had all this organized information when I started my dental research as a graduate student or, even now, when students begin their own research careers.' Jerry Rose, Professor Emeritus, University of Arkansas'A well-timed fantastic revised and fully updated edition of a classic book, now including newer analytical techniques.

Marin Pilloud, University of Nevada, Reno'This book is a journey into the fascinating and extravagant world of teeth. It is an essential starting point for the study teeth, but also a bridge to more detailed approaches.

Book Synopsis‘And then came the session where I felt I would give up. I felt frustrated as I’d worked so hard on trying to speak but the most important words; the worst ones, had simply not come out. I implied I would not necessarily come back the following week and as I got up to leave the room, Pat said, ‘Try detaching from it entirely. Try writing it as a fairy story. Start with the words, once upon a time there was a little girl’. That evening, I tried. I sat on my bed and typed on the note’s app of my phone Once Upon A Time … and finally, four decades after the abuse began, the words started to flow.’ This book documents the therapeutic journey undertaken by Sophie and her therapist, Pat. It includes all chapters of the fairy tale and the drawings Sophie created to help her make sense of her experiences and to reconnect with herself.

Book SynopsisHealthcare professionals throughout the world heed a calling that compels them to devote their lives to the treatment of their patients. While this work is generally rewarding, these professionals frequently fall victim to stressors and happiness barriers that impact their ability to function at work, the longevity of their career and the quality of their relationships outside of the hospital. Burnout, diminished career fulfilment, substance abuse, and suicide data for healthcare professionals demonstrate that the risks to this population are incredibly real. Unfortunately, there is nothing to suggest that any of these stressors are improving as pandemics, access disparities, changes in healthcare system structure, and patient complexity further escalate work-related challenges. Thankfully, there are sources of help readily available to each of us. All healthcare professionals have encountered a colleague, mentor or expert who has already navigated or has a perspective on how to thrive in the setting of hardship. This book will organize the voices of these leaders in a way that provides readers with a source for advice and inspiration. Sections of chapters are dedicated to work-life balance, family, finances, faith, resiliency, and recovery. For those healthcare workers actively caring for patients and struggling with their career, this book will serve as a source of solace and inspiration that should help to reinvigorate and extend a successful career.

Combining personal narrative, sound theology, and beautiful writing, this is a book for anyone who has loved and lost.On November 3, 2020, Tim and Aileen Challies received the shocking news that their son Nick had died. A twenty-year-old student at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, he had been participating in a school activity with his fiancée, sister, and friends, when he fell unconscious and collapsed to the ground.Neither students nor a passing doctor nor paramedics were able to revive him. His parents received the news at their home in Toronto and immediately departed for Louisville to be together as a family. While on the plane, Tim, an author and blogger, began to process his loss through writing.In Seasons of Sorrow, Tim shares real-time reflections from the first year of grief—through the seasons from fall to summer—introducinTrade Review'Seasons of Sorrow cut straight to my soul. I read it within a few weeks of the unexpected deaths of two close friends and while my wife struggles bravely with stage 4 cancer. Tim's heartfelt pain and Christ-centered perspective spoke to both my heart and my head.' * Randy Alcorn, author of Heaven and If God Is Good *'Seasons of Sorrow is a beautiful book. Reading it is like holding a precious gift, like standing on holy ground.' * Paul David Tripp, pastor, speaker, author of New Morning Mercies and Suffering: Gospel Hope When Life Doesn’t Make Sense *'Believers need this book, and only Tim Challies could have written it. I am so thankful that Nick was a student at Boyce College, and his influence as a young Christian was remarkable.' * Albert and Mary Mohler *'If ever there was a book Tim Challies needed to write, it's this one. And it's a book I needed to read. Within these pages, you will do more than enter Tim's story of enormous loss; you will come out on the other side having gained a softer heart and a renewed courage to persevere through your own dark seasons of affliction.' * Joni Eareckson Tada, founder of the Joni and Friends International Disability Center *'If you have lost a loved one to death, as everyone has, or if you have buried a child, as many have, Tim Challies is your friend.

What priceless grace!' * Conrad Mbewe, pastor of Kabwata Baptist Church and founding chancellor of the African Christian University *'Tim Challies has taken us into his confidence by writing with such self-searching honesty. It is a painful pleasure to be invited into these sacred moments of grief and to be helped by the reminder that God is too kind ever to be cruel and too wise ever to make a mistake.' * Alistair Begg, senior pastor, Parkside Church, and host of the Truth for Life radio program *

Book SynopsisToday''s follower of Jesus exists at a moment in history when our desires, longings, and wants are being weaponized against us by cultural, spiritual, and relational forces. Follow your heart and You do you has become our moment''s mantras. The result, for too many, is feeling torn asunder by the raging desires within. What do we do with our desire? What about our unwanted desires? And how do we cultivate desires which bring life and freedom and lead to Christ? The Gift of Thorns, by A. J. Swoboda, addresses these questions and more.The path forward is anything but easy. It is assumed by too many in the Christian community that desire is in and of itself bad or dangerous and must be crucified for simply existing. Desire is demonic for some. But, for many others--particularly in the secular West--desire must be followed through and through. This side deifies desire. But these two options sidestep the joy in the great challenge of finding God in our desire. There exist

Book SynopsisIn the face of personal and global suffering, is it possible to live with hope rather than despair? Join psychiatrist, speaker, and award-winning author Curt Thompson as he shows us how God transforms our grief into a lasting peace that surpasses all understanding.Suffering is a defining reality of life. Yet so many of us are so focused on avoiding discomfort that we''ve never learned how to actually suffer. But what if we could move from anxiety to durable hope?In The Deepest Place, Thompson invites us to explore how the Apostle Paul''s experience of love, secure attachment, and the deeply felt sense of God''s abiding presence carried him through the challenges he faced--and how it can help us not just survive, but flourish in the presence of suffering.Combining scripture with his own professional insight, Thompson helps us discover that: Suffering can increase our sense of security rather than our fears Hope is someTrade ReviewAll of us suffer, in many ways: in relationships, in families, in work, and in health. And, because suffering is painful, we look for ways to end it, or reduce it. Yet God provides another, deeper, and ultimately better way to deal with suffering. Through Curt Thompson's extensive expertise as a psychiatrist, his knowledge of the Scriptures, and his own vulnerable and warm style, he guides us into a path that helps us engage with suffering, deal with it, embrace that which must be embraced, and transform us to a life of faith, love, and hope. Highly recommended. John Townsend, PhD, author of the New York Times bestselling Boundaries series; founder, Townsend Institute and Townsend Leadership ProgramAmong the books written on the subject of suffering, The Deepest Place is in an elite class by itself. Thompson's exegesis of Scripture, clinical wisdom, and scientific understanding of interpersonal neurobiology gives readers the widest possible lens to see that suffering is not something to merely endure. Instead, we learn the essential ingredients for deeply embedded hope to form in the places where it is least likely to be experienced. We learn how to be hospitable to the pain and suffering. We learn that, although there are no guarantees of escaping suffering, we have been given an ancient path to suffer differently, a tried-and-true path upon which we discover in our bones that love has us. Michael John Cusick, author of Surfing for God, CEO at Restoring the SoulBoth gentle and compelling, this book invites us to redefine our relationship with suffering, offering us the possibility of building lives of courage marked by resilience. Rather than enduring dizzying lives where we grasp for momentary relief through coping strategies, we now have a way to transform suffering into durable hope. Jessica Honegger, founder of Noonday Collection, author of Imperfect CourageCurt continues to be one of our most winsome and wise teachers and one of our most beloved friends. This stunning new guidebook offers a shimmering light at the end of all our darkest tunnels, gently drawing us through the pain toward something gloriously hopeful together. Katherine and Jay Wolf, authors of Hope Heals, Suffer Strong, and Treasures in the DarkCurt does it again with The Deepest Place. It's brilliant! He guides us along to discover how our lives, our pain, and our joy were meant to intersect the greatest story ever told. Curt pulls us in close and unveils God's deep love and desire for us to more fully experience a life we hardly ever give ourselves permission to pursue. The stories he tells and advice he gives are like a caring, patient friend, helping us self-discover the enormous ways our suffering becomes our greatest strength. Gabe Lyons, president, THINQ MediaCurt has an incredible gift for weaving together the wisdom and truth of God's Word with the wisdom and truth of science in a profoundly unique way. Reading his words gives you the sense that you're sitting with a friend who cares deeply, has an incredibly deep well of experience to draw from, is willing to be honest and vulnerable about his own journey, and all the while just happens to be a brilliant doctor of the mind, body, and soul. I'm a true fan of Curt's heart and his work, and I have no doubt that this book will be a great source of hope and help in the deepest places for everyone who reads it. Steven Curtis Chapman, GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriterCurt Thompson has done it again! No other voice today more skillfully weaves together expertise in psychology, neurobiology, and biblical theology and threads it all together with pastoral sensitivity and graceful writing. Curt brings all of this to bear on the most perplexing aspect of human existence: suffering. The book does not explain away pain with platitudes but tenderly examines human suffering in the raw, especially via stories from Curt's own medical practice. Most importantly, the book takes readers to that deepest place indeed: the path marked out by Jesus and the apostle Paul, where we are invited to go through suffering with the hope of God's redemption. It is a path we all must travel--and we are blessed to have Curt as a guide. Curtis Chang, author of The Anxiety Opportunity, host of the Good Faith podcast, consulting professor, Duke Divinity School, and senior fellow, Fuller Theological SeminaryCurt Thompson has the prophetic audacity to suggest that the agonies you have suffered in life can be redeemed . . . but the redemption of your pain will require interpersonal relationships. Trauma and pain begin to heal when our stories are witnessed by an empathetic other. In The Deepest Place, Thompson invites you to reimagine how your suffering can be redeemed by engaging your story with others. Adam Young, therapist and host of The Place We Find Ourselves podcastI spent a season of my life living in Southern California and lived through several fires within those years. For months following each fire, we were surrounded by black, scorched earth. But then the rain would come, and the most tender green would emerge. The destructive fire was the very thing that made the soil rich for new growth--a picture of God's redemption in the wake of what we thought was ruined. Weaving his wealth of knowledge and experience as a psychiatrist with his careful study of Scripture, Curt shows us that like a fire, our pain can be the very thing that keeps us tethered to the hope of Christ, where our hearts are transformed and new growth can emerge. I read everything Curt writes with anticipation. God has used his work (including this book) in my personal transformation journey. I'm so excited for you to have The Deepest Place too . . . it's a gift for us all. Nicole Zasowski, marriage and family therapist, author of What If It's Wonderful?In The Deepest Place, Curt Thompson once again guides us into goodness with the hallmark gentleness and acumen we've come to trust in his books. Curt so beautifully translates incredibly complex insights about the human body, soul, and relationships into words that welcome us into wholeness. The Deepest Place will pierce your imagination with the possibility that your groans and grief really might be the place you encounter your greatest glory. K. J. Ramsey, trauma therapist, author of The Book of Common Courage and The Lord Is My CourageIn The Deepest Place, Dr. Curt Thompson brilliantly brings to light the intersecting paths of hope, suffering, and human connection. Intricately woven with strands of faith, interpersonal neurobiology, and the transformative power of relationships, this book compels us to journey toward the full realization of our God-given humanity. It's a call to traverse life's arduous terrain with fortitude, strengthened by the profound and nurturing embrace of others, each steeped in the all-encompassing presence of grace. Curt's work is a gift to so many who are yearning to find a deeper understanding of how our Trinitarian faith informs our embodied humanity. Dr. Alison Cook, therapist, author of The Best of You and Boundaries for Your SoulIn this powerful book, grounded in sacred Scripture, neuroscience, and clinical experience, Curt Thompson teaches us to become hopeful amid human suffering through forming ever-deepening, secure attachment with the hurting parts of our own selves, with one other, and with Jesus. What could be more important? Kimberly Miller, MTh, LMFT, author, Boundaries for Your Soul: How to Turn Your Overwhelming Thoughts and Feelings into Your Greatest AlliesOur world is suffering in a way I've never experienced as a therapist with kids and families for thirty years. It is debilitating. It is isolating. And it certainly feels hopeless at times. We need strong, thoughtful voices reminding us of the promise of redemption. Of the purpose in sharing our stories. And of the hope that we can experience today through the gospel of Christ. Curt Thompson is one of those voices who points us with biblical wisdom, science-backed evidence, and plentiful grace to that hope. Sissy Goff, director of Child and Adolescent Counseling, Daystar Counseling, author of the bestselling Raising Worry-Free GirlsThere's a reality that none of us willingly want to face--that our lives will inevitably include suffering. And while the hardest part is to hold that truth, in The Deepest Place Curt offers us stories and strategies to navigate it all with grace, grit, and the acceptance of grief. On the other side of these words is lasting hope. I pray you read them. You deserve it. Toni Collier, hope coach, speaker, podcast host, and author of Brave Enough to Be BrokenWith his formidable intellect and compassionate heart, Curt Thompson draws from Scripture, neurobiology, and inspiring stories to help people advance on the path from suffering to hope and redemption. This is a spiritual formation tour de force for anyone ready to look life's inescapable pain in the eye and make something better of it. A must-read.

Book SynopsisThe Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament series is the go-to resource for pastors and Bible teachers looking for deep but accessible study that equips them to connect the needs of Christians today with the biblical text.Trade Review'A broadly inclusive, evangelical commentary on Daniel that at the same time engages respectfully and thoroughly the critical issues without partisanship, argument, or accusation. This is one of a kind!' * RONALD W. PIERCE, professor of Old Testament, Talbot School of Theology *'A masterful introduction followed by close analysis at the microlevel, clear discourse analysis at the microlevel, and stimulating biblical theological treatment at the intertextual level. And Widder's ability to link all of this to the big idea at each point makes for stimulating reading--I literally read it straight through. Henceforth, it's my go-to commentary on Daniel.' * DALE BRUEGGEMANN, retired missionary and educator *'A new day for Daniel studies. If persons were trapped until they preached through Daniel--which describes the way many approach such a series--and only one commentary was allowed, it's an easy choice. Wendy Widder's commentary combines her expertise in Hebrew and Aramaic and builds on her series of important studies on Daniel over the past decade. She never minimizes interpretive difficulties. But Wendy leads us past the long-line of interpretive cul-de-sacs created by earlier commentators on Daniel. Anyone who wants to understand and teach Daniel and trust the Most High God needs to start here.' * GARY EDWARD SCHNITTJER, distinguished professor of Old Testament, Cairn University *'I have come to appreciate the clarity and precision of Dr. Widder's writing over the years, so it is with great pleasure that I commend her latest work on Daniel. Readers of this volume will find a solid command of the challenging issues surrounding Daniel blended with up-to-date insights from discourse analysis and linguistic approaches to the Hebrew and Aramaic text.' * STEVEN RUNGE, scholar in residence, Clear Bible *'Widder provides a close reading of the text of Daniel, highlighting the essential features of the book's clauses in its original languages. By auditing how the book creates its discourse, she builds a solid platform for moving from grammar and syntax towards meaning and theological interpretation. Students will appreciate the attention to detail, as well as the wider connections Widder makes between different parts of the book of Daniel. Widder does not shy away from the difficult critical issues, of which there are many. She presents multiple perspectives, which she evaluates with generosity, while also being up front with the conservative Christian framework within which she is working. Christian exegetes and preachers will find both food for thought and good guidance for their analysis and preaching endeavors.' * GEORGE ATHAS, director of research, Moore Theological College *'Widder provides well-reasoned evangelical positions on critical matters and her comments are thorough, clear, and accessible. Her translations are carefully crafted to convey the nuances of the Hebrew and Aramaic, and it is clear she has a deep familiarity with the book. Her facility in discourse-linguistic analysis is evident throughout, making it a wonderful contribution to the series.' * JOHN COOK, professor of Old Testament and Semitic languages and director of Hebrew language Instruction, Asbury Theological Seminary *

Book SynopsisAn instant New York Times bestseller!The New York Times bestselling author of The XX Brain shows women how to navigate menopause successfully and come out the other side with an even better brain.Menopause and perimenopause are still a black box to most doctors, leaving patients exasperated as they grapple with symptoms ranging from hot flashes to insomnia to brain fog. As a leading neuroscientist and women’s brain health specialist, Dr. Mosconi unravels these mysteries by revealing how menopause doesn’t just impact the ovaries—it’s a hormonal show in which the brain takes center stage.The decline of the hormone estrogen during menopause influences everything from body temperature to mood to memory, potentially paving the way for cognitive decline later in life. To conquer these challenges successfully, Dr. Mosconi brings us the latest approaches—explaining the role of cutting-edge hormone replacement therapies like “designer estrogens,” hormonal contraception, and key lifestyle changes encompassing diet, exercise, self-care, and self-talk.Best of all, Dr. Mosconi dispels the myth that menopause signifies an end, demonstrating that it’s actually a transition. Contrary to popular belief, if we know how to take care of ourselves during menopause, we can emerge with a renewed, enhanced brain—ushering in a meaningful and vibrant new chapter of life.
