The Emotional Life of Your Brain
This groundbreaking book by a pioneer in neuroscience brings a new understanding of our emotions - why each of us responds so differently to the same life events and what we can do to change and improve our emotional lives. If you believe most self-help books, you would probably assume that we are all affected in the same way by events like grief or falling in love or being jilted and that only one process can help us handle them successfully. From thirty years of studying brain chemistry, Davidson shows just why and how we are all so different. Just as we all have our own DNA, so we each have our own emotional 'style' depending on our individual levels of dimensions like resilience, attention and self-awareness. Helping us to recognise our own emotional style, Davidson also shows how our brain patterns can change over our lives - and, through his fascinating experiments, what we can do to improve our emotional responses through, for example, meditation. Deepening our understanding of the mind-body connection - as well as conditions like autism and depression - Davidson stretches beyond mainstream psychology and neuroscience and expands our view of what it means to be human.
Choose You this Day
Publisher's description. In 1844, Charles Darwin wrote a summary of his theory of evolution. His On the Origin of Species became Satan's grand scheme to turn the world away from allegiance to the creator. If belief in the Biblical creation can be destroyed, confidence in the personal, loving God of the Bible will be seriously undermined as well. In the fourth commandment, God claims that in six days he created the heavens and the earth, the seas, and all that is in them. The Bible claims that God wrote this with His finger, in stone. If what God wrote with His own hand is false, why would the rest of the Bible be of any further interest? But if true, it is an anchor that will guide us through whatever the future holds. The great controversy between Christ and Satan is, at this time in history, focusing down on issues of the credibility of the Creator and the creation story in Genesis. Even Christians are beginning to question the Biblical account. Science is an important human endeavor, but we can trust it only if the Bible is our standard for evaluating origins, evil, and our great God.
A Love Song for the Sabbath
RICHARD M. DAVIDSON'S son and daughter often pray, "Dear Jesus, please make it Sabbath again soon." They look foward to the Sabbath as a delight. But new Seventh-day Adventists may be puzzled by the Sabbath. Sure, it's the right day for worship. But what do you actually do all day?

It is the day each week that the God of the universe comes to spend a loving 24 hours with His people. Ideas the author has taken from Jewish tradition can add touches of beauty to your own family celebration of Sabbath.

Is God a Moral Monster?
A recent string of popular-level books written by the New Atheists have leveled the accusation that the God of the Old Testament is nothing but a bully, a murderer, and a cosmic child abuser. This viewpoint is even making inroads into the church. How are Christians to respond to such accusations? And how are we to reconcile the seemingly disconnected natures of God portrayed in the two testaments? In this timely and readable book, apologist Paul Copan takes on some of the most vexing accusations of our time, including: God is arrogant and jealous God punishes people too harshly God is guilty of ethnic cleansing God oppresses women God endorses slavery Christianity causes violence and more Copan not only answers God's critics, he also shows how to read both the Old and New Testaments faithfully, seeing an unchanging, righteous, and loving God in both.
