Description

The Land and Its Kings: 1-2 KingsIn The Land and Its Kings biblical scholar Johanna van Wijk Bos accompanies the reader across a large sweep of the story of Israel, from the end of King David's reign through the fall of Jerusalem approximately 400 years later. She views these memories of Israel's past, as they are woven together in Kings, from the perspective of the traumatic context of postexilic Judah. Van Wijk Bos writes as a scholar of the Bible with deep commitments to feminism

In The Land and Its Kings biblical scholar Johanna van Wijk-Bos accompanies the reader across a large sweep of the story of Israel, from the end of King David's reign through the fall of Jerusalem approximately 400 years later. She views these memories of Israel's past, as they are woven together in Kings, from the perspective of the traumatic context of postexilic Judah.

Van Wijk-Bos writes as a scholar of the Bible with deep commitments to feminism and issues of gender within patriarchal structures and ideologies. The voices and presence of women in the accounts receive special attention.

As in the previous volumes of A People and a Land, van Wijk-Bos offers a close reading of the Hebrew text in translation to reacquaint readers with the path taken by Israel as the people embraced a form of monarchy, subsequently compromised their allegiance to God, and were ultimately exiled from the land. She presents the multiplicity of voices which the collectors of this material let stand as an essential part of the complex history of their community. Van Wijk-Bos invites readers to enter into the text with questions and to find a way forward to draw closer to the presence of the Most Holy.

A Helpful Map for First-Time Astral Travelers
Format: Kindle
I picked up this book because I wanted to learn what “astral projection” really means. The author writes in clear steps that I can follow like relax your body, calm your mind, picture a gentle rope, and imagine climbing out. The ideas sound strange at first, but the explanations make them feel safe. The “what if” chapter answers simple questions like, What if I get scared? How do I get back? The author says you can return any time by thinking about your body, which makes me feel less nervous. I also liked the short stories about other people’s trips which they show that each experience is different. I haven’t left my body yet, but I have felt a light floaty feeling while practicing the breathing exercise. That small success keeps me excited to try again.

A Guiding Light for Aspiring Astral Travelers
Format: Kindle
I've been fascinated by astral travel since I was a young man—back in my day, we called it Transcendental Meditation—and I've tried countless methods, only to doze off! However, Astral Projection for Beginners: Guide to Mastering Astral Travel & Out-Of-Body Experiences for Optimal Living by Sophia Grace has truly rekindled my interest. This book presents a wealth of practical advice and easy-to-follow techniques that make the mysterious art of astral projection seem possible and achievable. Sophia Grace skillfully breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized, accessible steps, allowing even sceptics like me to understand the process without getting lost in technical jargon. The author also delves into the benefits of exploring life beyond our physical realm, emphasising the power of positive thought and disciplined meditation. While I still fall asleep sometimes, the book's clear guidance and refreshing perspective give me renewed hope—and plenty of reasons to keep trying. Whether you're a seasoned spiritual explorer or a curious beginner, this guide is a fantastic resource. If nothing else, it's a great way to drift off into a peaceful slumber!

I bought this for a friend and it didn’t disappoint. It’s such a fun book! I’m definitely going to be borrowing it from her to make some of the recipes. The pictures are wonderful and the recipes don’t look overly complicated.
