Описание: One of The New York Times Book Review's "10 Best Books of 2021"
Shortlisted for the 2021 International Booker Prize A fictional examination of the lives of real-life scientists and thinkers whose discoveries resulted in moral consequences beyond their imagining. When We Cease to Understand the World is a book about the complicated links between scientific and mathematical discovery, madness, and destruction. Fritz Haber, Alexander Grothendieck, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrцdinger--these are some of luminaries into whose troubled lives Benjamнn Labatut thrusts the reader, showing us how they grappled with the most profound questions of existence. They have strokes of unparalleled genius, alienate friends and lovers, descend into isolation and insanity. Some of their discoveries reshape human life for the better; others pave the way to chaos and unimaginable suffering. The lines are never clear. At a breakneck pace and with a wealth of disturbing detail, Labatut uses the imaginative resources of fiction to tell the stories of the scientists and mathematicians who expanded our notions of the possible.

Описание:
Overcome by years of anxiety and depression on a fruitless journey to find himself, Casey Cease could not imagine his life getting any darker. On July 5th, 1995, at the age of 17, fueled by desperate anger and alcohol, Casey caused a horrific car accident that resulted in the death of his friend. Guilty and hopeless, Casey lay in a mental hospital on suicide watch, sure that his life was over. He would soon learn that God had a plan to rescue and redeem him through Jesus Christ.
For over a decade, Casey has been traveling the country candidly sharing his testimony of God's power to save others to a life of hope and peace, even when it seems they will be lost forever. With a pastor's heart, he wrote Tragedy to Truth for the sole purpose of giving you the opportunity to marvel at the limitless love of God toward broken, sinful people. No matter how bad you think you are, you aren't beyond the reach of Christ.
The first half of this book, Tragedy, is Casey's testimony, from his birth to the present. He shares details of his life that few others will in an effort to display God's grace in his life. The second half of this book, Truth, shares the hope that Casey has found in many areas of his life through this tragedy. Tragedy is a reality in this lifetime, but through God's grace it can lead to the truth.
ENDORSEMENTS:
Tragedy To Truth is a MUST read. It is a pure testimony of redemption and healing. Joel Engle - Singer / Songwriter, Lead Pastor of The Exchange, Keller, TX
Without a doubt the most convincing endorsement I can give to Casey's book comes from seeing the impact Casey's story has had on the students in our church, including my own daughter Casey has been with us on several occasions, and is without a doubt, our students "speaker of choice". Not only is Casey's story incredibly compelling, but also, as a preacher, father, and leader, he lives out the claims his transforming story makes Victor Flores - Pastor of Student Ministries, Bell Shoals Baptist Church, Brandon, FL
By far, one of the most compelling redemption stories I have heard in 30 years of ministry. Casey Cease is the real deal, a young man who has been to hell and back with a testimony of God's grace, mercy and forgiveness that even the most cynical among us dare not ignore. Character, depth and genuine spirituality always come to mind when I think of this young pastor and the ministry God has given him over this past decade. How thankful and thrilled I am that his story will finally reach a larger audience. Bob Swan - Director of Student Ministries The Woodlands Methodist Church, The Woodlands, TX
Casey is a brother-in-arms and dear friend. I've served in the same church with Casey for several years and had the joy of sending him out as the lead pastor of our first church plant. I love Casey and am very thankful for him. I am also thankful for this book. This is an honest story about the devastating power of sin and the much more remarkable power of grace. Casey's journey is tragic indeed, but truth prevails. There is brokenness here, but beauty too. Casey's story is well worth reading, and worth sharing too. Justin Hyde, Teaching Pastor, Redeemer Church, Brenham, TX
Tragedy to Truth is a powerful story of lasting transformation. It does not simply recount the amazing story of Casey's life: it proclaims the remarkable love of his Christ. That is to say, this book is much more than an engaging narration or testimony. It is an invitation. J.R. Dodson, PhD - Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies, Ouachita Baptist University, Arkadelphia, AR

Описание:
What if the secret to being charismatic were actually a gene you could inherit, and pass along to your children. What if this -X-factor- could make you a star? Welcome to the world of Cease de Menich, a sixteen-year-old actress in New York City who gets cast as Joan-of-Arc in a reality-drama, only to discover her -acting gift- has been passed down through her bloodline for almost six-hundred-years. Cease finds the plot of the drama reveals dark secrets from her past--an abusive mother, a brother who committed suicide--and the reader must decide if she's a reliable narrator or a terrified girl who's succumb to the pressure of fame and the abuse of her past.
Cease & Desist is a dark, contemporary YA thriller with a supernatural twist. Readers of books like I Let You Go and The Girl on the Train will enjoy this coming-of-age story, which struggles with the realities of sexuality, violence as entertainment, and mental illness. Cease & Desist has excellent crossover potential into the adult marketplace.
Weeks away from turning sixteen, Kyle Hooper longs to get his license and (legally) drive the old Suburban his Grandpa Hooper left him. Sardonic, light-hearted, a prankster, Kyle wants more freedom in his Colorado Mormon life, including the freedom to date any number of lovelies, as he calls them.
His mother, Lucille, a part-time trauma nurse and a devoted Mormon mom, wants Kyle to get serious about school and preparing for his mission. In vivid detail she often warns him about the consequences of a misspent youth-drug addiction, arrest and imprisonment, expulsion from school, early marriage to a pregnant girlfriend, poverty, STD, alcoholism, highway death. Filled with missionary zeal, Lucille works to bring Mark, Kyle's best friend, to the waters of baptism.
Disobeying his mother one Saturday morning, Kyle, driving unlicensed, heads for the ski slopes. In Silver Canyon an avalanche sweeps his Suburban off the road. Trapped but getting air, grateful for the two roll bars Grandfather Hooper installed, Kyle knows he has to dig an escape shaft or die. Exhausted, starving, freezing, he begins to understand what his mother has been trying to teach him about the need for faith.

Описание: New York Times best-selling author and comedian-turned-motivational speaker, Kyle Cease, shows how your obsession with money is actually preventing you from living the life of your dreams. I can't afford that. Now's not the right time . . . I need to save up. Quit my job? Are you nuts?! Sound familiar? Money is one of the biggest excuses we make to not go after what we really want. Our fixation with money--the desire for more of it, and the fear of not having enough of it--is often really just a longing to feel safe. But this obsession with money is coming at a much bigger cost: our sanity, our creativity, our freedom, and our ability to step into our true power. This book is about eliminating the need to seek safety through the illusion of money, and learning to see ourselves for the perfection that we are--so that we can bring our gifts to the world in an authentic way, and allow ourselves to receive massive, true abundance as a result. Kyle Cease has heard excuses like the ones above countless times at his live events, and he has shown people how to completely break through them. In The Illusion of Money, he shares his own experiences as well as practical tools to help readers understand their ingrained beliefs and attachments to money, and how they can tap into our infinite assets and talents. After 25 years as a successful comedian, actor, transformational speaker, author and junior-league amateur bowler, I've experienced many times how chasing money is not an effective way to create an abundant and fulfilling life. The most alive I've ever felt was after I left my comedy career at its peak to become a transformational speaker. I left tons of guaranteed money and so-called security for a complete unknown. It was terrifying--but what was on the other side of that terror was a completely different life that is not only more abundant financially, but has more freedom, more ease, more passion, more impact and more joy. -- Kyle Cease
Описание: This book is a recount of my educational experiences while working at a middle school. I had been appointed to design an educational trip for an end-of-the-year student incentive. As a result of handling the trip, I was not renewed for employment for the next school term and had to find other employment. I had to really trust God to get me through the process of having to leave my current position of seven years and find another job to care for my children and household expenses as a single parent. The level of depression that I experienced was so debilitating that I thought I would die. This is my story.
