Book excerpt: On the very day that Jacky Faber is to wed her true love, she is kidnapped by British Naval Intelligence and forced to embark on yet another daring mission—this time to search for sunken Spanish gold. But when Jacky is involved, things don't always go as planned. Jacky has survived battles on the high seas, the stifling propriety of a Boston finishing school, and even confinement in a dank French prison. But no adventure has quite matched her opportunistic street-urchin desires—until now.

Outside her front door stand two police officers, messengers bearing tragic news. Joe, Jen's recently estranged husband, is missing, the victim of a scuba diving accident. Joe "Puck" Johnson is a master carpenter. He is quiet, thoughtful, and passionately loves his deeply scarred wife. Their separation, unwanted, painful, and immersed in unfinished business, is now punctuated by this unfathomable loss. Tom Hyden is a high profile banker. He has the perfect home, the perfect wife, the perfect child, the perfect everything; yet beneath the surface of his well manicured life Tom carries a dark and shameful secret. Born and raised in the small Iowa town of Lake Pulaski, these two men cannot remember a time before their friendship. It is a bond most recently sealed by their mutual love of scuba diving. Beneath the waves diving provides a peaceful respite. However on the surface, their worlds are reeling and the peace they so desire is being torn asunder. Both men find their families disintegrating and their lives twisting apart, the result of events they cannot talk about, even with each other. So Tom and Joe are lost, and they must now take a journey that for one will lead to tragedy and the other redemption...

Book excerpt: “A highly personal, richly informed and culturally wide-ranging meditation on the loss of meaning in our times and on pathways to rediscovering it.” —Gabor Maté, MD, author of In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction A neuroanthropologist maps out a revolutionary new practice—Hedonic Engineering—that combines the best of neuroscience and optimal psychology. It’s an intensive program of breathing, movement, and sexuality that mends trauma, heightens inspiration and tightens connections—helping us wake up, grow up, and show up for a world that needs us all. This is a book about a big idea. And the idea is this: Slowly over the past few decades, and now suddenly, all at once, we’re suffering from a collapse in Meaning. Fundamentalism and nihilism are filling that vacuum, with consequences that affect us all. In a world that needs us at our best, diseases of despair, tribalism, and disaster fatigue are leaving us at our worst. It’s vital that we regain control of the stories we’re telling because they are shaping the future we’re creating. To do that, we have to remember our deepest inspiration, heal our pain and apathy, and connect to each other like never before. If we can do that, we’ve got a shot at solving the big problems we face. And if we can’t? Well, the dustbin of history has swallowed civilizations older and fancier than ours. This book is divided into three parts. The first, Choose Your Own Apocalypse, takes a look at our current Meaning Crisis--where we are today, why it’s so hard to make sense of the world, what might be coming next, and what to do about it. It also makes a case that many of our efforts to cope, whether anxiety and denial, or tribalism and identity politics, are likely making things worse. The middle section, The Alchemist Cookbook, applies the creative firm IDEO’s design thinking to the Meaning Crisis. This is where the book gets hands on--taking a look at the strongest evolutionary drivers that can bring about inspiration, healing, and connection. From breathing, to movement, sexuality, music, and substances--these are the everyday tools to help us wake up, grow up, and show up. AKA--how to blow yourself sky high with household materials. And the best part? They’re accessible, by anyone anywhere, no middleman required. Transcendence democratized. The final third of the book, Ethical Cult Building, focuses on the tricky nature of putting these kinds of experiences into gear and into culture—because, anytime in the past when we’ve figured out combinations of peak states and deep healing, we’ve almost always ended up with problematic culty communities. Playing with fire has left a lot of people burned. This section lays out a roadmap for sparking a thousand fires around the world--each one unique and tailored to the needs and values of its participants. Think of it as an open-source toolkit for building ethical culture. In Recapture the Rapture, we’re taking radical research out of the extremes and applying it to the mainstream--to the broader social problem of healing, believing, and belonging. It’s providing answers to the questions we face: how to replace blind faith with direct experience, how to move from broken to whole, and how to cure isolation with connection. Said even more plainly, it shows us how to revitalize our bodies, boost our creativity, rekindle our relationships, and answer once and for all the questions of why we are here and what do we do now? In a world that needs the best of us from the rest of us, this is a book that shows us how to get it done.

Book excerpt: In two hundred B.C. a migrating Celtic tribe led by one of the most prominent women in history settled on a lonely island in what is now Scotland. She was the prophetess Veleda, a Druid. She was raped by a mytical creature called a Selkie and the Druid magic combined with the strength of the Selkie, the Mermaid was born. One of the Druid offspring is Catherine, a young divemaster who operates a scuba-diving buisness on Bainbridge Island in Washington State. In the cold black waters of Puget Sound, Steve and Gil, an oceanographer and photographer charter Catherine's boat. By day the divers plumb the depths of undersea reefs and by night, Gil is courted by the beautiful women of the sisterhood who anxiously await his semen and are prepared to take it by force in order to impregnate the fertile young mermaids. Gil must ultimately decide on his own fate. Will he fly to the Carribean and escape or serve the mistress of the sisterhood? Part 1 of the trilogy.

Book excerpt: The rapture is one of the greatest mysteries of the Bible--a dramatic prophecy that could be fulfilled at any moment, without warning. Within the evangelical church today, many teach that the rapture of the church by Jesus Christ will take place before the start of the great tribulation. But what if that teaching is wrong? What if the rapture comes later? Craig Plants visits a concept rarely taught or acknowledged by the church. In Rapture: Delayed?, Plants shares his interpretation of events preceding Christ's return and references a multitude of scripture, while following a chronological timeline of the end times and the return of Christ as outlined in the Bible. Included are the signs of Christ's return, the rise of antichrist, his mark, exploration of a plausible example of a strong delusion as described in 2 Thessalonians that will trick multitudes into worshipping the antichrist, the difficult topic of children during the end times, the segregation and protection of the Jewish nation, and, finally, the timeline for the end.
