Drawn to the Sea
Stephen (Steve) Charles Hembry nearly drowned in the sea – but it has also sustained and fascinated him. In this memoir, he shares how he almost followed in the footsteps of his ancestors to make the sea his vocation. While he chose a different path, the sea remains relevant as a metaphor to the mission he chose, which is helping people cope with trauma. Whether it's within the realm of relationships, emotions, physical disease, injury, or in the spiritual domain, the author highlights how he has overcome or helped others cope with trauma, suffering, and pain. To carry out his work, he’s relied on clinical hypnosis, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and counseling for those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. He’s also administered various forms of pain relief, offered nutritional advice, removed skin lesions, sutured lacerations, and much more. Join the author as he looks back at his adventures throughout the world and the amazing things he’s seen or done while being Drawn to the Sea.

Broken Idols of the English Reformation
Why were so many religious images and objects broken and damaged in the course of the Reformation? Margaret Aston's magisterial new book charts the conflicting imperatives of destruction and rebuilding throughout the English Reformation from the desecration of images, rails and screens to bells, organs and stained glass windows. She explores the motivations of those who smashed images of the crucifixion in stained glass windows and who pulled down crosses and defaced symbols of the Trinity. She shows that destruction was part of a methodology of religious revolution designed to change people as well as places and to forge in the long term new generations of new believers. Beyond blanked walls and whited windows were beliefs and minds impregnated by new modes of religious learning. Idol-breaking with its emphasis on the treacheries of images fundamentally transformed not only Anglican ways of worship but also of seeing, hearing and remembering.
