Embracing the Dawn
I found myself at a gun counter to purchase the weapon I would use to kill myself. At the last moment, I decided instead to check myself into the Ohio State University Hospital emergency department. At the intake desk, I simply said, "I need help. I'm planning to kill myself." Anything that I might use to harm myself, belt, shoestrings, ink pens, was removed and they placed me in a room with soft walls, but they didn't seem very interested in what was actually happening in my life. I was diagnosed as suffering from a major depressive disorder, prescribed medication, given a safety plan, and an appointment with a psychiatrist. They called one of my friends to meet with us. Then, they discharged me. The profound crises in my life all had been reduced to a mental illness with a pharmacological fix. Suicidal thinking is the result of multiple factors, including the experience of unbearable, inescapable, and isolating pain. Suicide is a means of coping with that pain. This book of daily readings is focused on the healing process. It is only one element of a larger recovery plan that may include family, friends, mental health professionals, mentors, and, in some cases, medication. As you engage in these readings exercise faith in your own healing process. Suicidal thoughts don't usually develop overnight, and they don't retreat quickly. We must keep doing our daily readings and give the Spirit time.

They Have Conspired Against You
Olivier Melnick excels in bringing us up to date on a changing world outlook towards Israel and the Jewish people that could dominate the world scene for decades to comes. Anti-Semitism that was a local concern to Europe in the 1930s and 1940s has now morphed into new strains with dangerous potential. Yet the greatest danger for peace-loving citizens today is the same as in that earlier time of tumult: our own unawareness of the danger and a naive unpreparedness for the consequences of unchecked anti-Semitism. To be sure, Olivier, who was born in Paris, France, points out that the climate in Europe today is quite different than in the mournful years following World War II. Multiple factors, including changing demographics and political dynamics, have led the way to new strains of anti-Semitism. In addition, the globalization of anti-Zionist sentiments, combined with radical worldviews that embrace hatred, has accelerated the importance of recognizing and negotiating peaceful solutions and putting preventative actions in place. Olivier Melnick especially targets mature Christian believers, calling them to the forefront to gain understanding, practice love, and study peace-making measures. He suggests actions that can be taken by individuals, communities, and by governments. However, as always, light breaks forth only as each one is individually willing to light a candle. According to the author, Education is the key. Given the book's heavy content and ambitious goals, the outstanding momentum of the writer is welcome, as are his personal, historical, and theological insights. Other works on anti-Semitism have echoed the wounded cry of the devastated: "Never Again!" Olivier Melnick's book provides a unique look forward to a hopeful future.

Converting Enemies into Friends
By practicing forgiveness and communicating openly and honestly, people can establish healthier relationships with one another.Sometimes, close friends can become strangers-or, even worse, enemies. Because there is no outward way of discerning who is an enemy and who is an ally, people must rely on their own instincts-and keep an eye out for consistently problematic behaviors. Indeed, enemies often reveal themselves through their actions. Manipulation, peer pressure, inflated confidence, a penchant for gossip, and dishonesty are all trademarks of toxic people. Too frequently, people fall into unhealthy, codependent friendships, and they don't know whether they should fix the relationship or walk away for good. Learning how to recognize and address these harmful behaviors can prevent a friendship from becoming unsalvageable.Maintaining friendships is never easy in the best of times, but if someone feels as though their friend is actively deceiving, exploiting, belittling, or controlling them, then they have one of two options. They can either remove themselves from the relationship, or they can try and repair the relationship. If they choose the former, it is important to be as gracious as possible; after all, former friends don't have to-and shouldn't-become enemies. If they choose the latter, both parties must be willing to forgive, accept each other's boundaries, and communicate more openly with one another. With this book, people will learn how to identify and confront toxic behaviors before they ruin a friendship.

What Was the Tabernacle?
God gave the Israelites the tabernacle as a place to worship him, but also as a wonderful picture that points to Jesus. Although God had rescued his people out of slavery in Egypt, they rebelled against him and worshipped other gods. So God gave Moses rules to teach his people how to love God and each other. He also gave him instructions for how to build a moveable temple for the Lord. This tent provided a way for the Israelites to serve and worship God his way, in reverence and awe. But the tabernacle was also full of symbols that pointed to Jesus - when God became a man and lived amongst his people. Danika Cooley, homeschool mom and curriculum developer, shows how understanding this place of worship is as important for Christians today as it was for the Israelites. The Who, What, Why series explores the lives, concepts, and movements that have shaped the lives of God's people throughout history. Featuring engaging narrative, beautiful illustrations and a timeline of key dates, this series introduces young people to big topics through simple questions.
