The year is AD 66, and the Roman province of Judea has exploded in rebellion. Far from being a revolution of unified peoples, the various Jewish factions of Sadducees, Zealots, Sicarii, and Edomites are in a state of civil war; as anxious to spill the blood of each other as they are to fight the Romans. The Judeans find hope when the Romans commit a serious tactical blunder and allow their forces to be ambushed and nearly destroyed in the mountain pass of Beth Horon.

The starting point for In Deep Water: Spiritual Care for Young People in a Climate Crisis is not news: the world as we know it is shifting. Several millennia of climate stability have come to an abrupt end. But, observes Talitha Amadea Aho, the young people of today do not remember stability.

Over 80 percent of people claim to be religious. Yet, every 40 seconds someone commits suicide. In the United States, one in three seek professional counseling, and 30 million dollars is spent each day on anti-depressants. The truth is that the human ego and man-made ethics can take us to a place in life where we feel our own soul cannot survive. We all aspire to belong and endeavor to make our mark while longing for the freedom to just be ourselves. Often the reality of who we are is painfully different than who we presume we should be. But how can we know who we truly are?

The premise of this book is that the universe’s most sincere project is the creation of a self-reflection point called I. Climbing up out of the universe’s primordia using the rungs of matter, animal biology, and cultural enterprises such as myth, religion, literacy, and science, consciousness has constricted itself to a place two inches behind your forehead.

Fold space using the spice mélange and travel from “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” to the planet Krypton, from Trantor to Terminus, and back to the scorched skies of Earth. This audiobook covers a lot of territory. It spans galaxies and universes. Nevertheless, the great expanse of human imagination will forever be captivated by the events of the little town of Bethlehem. There is a reason that all of mankind’s stories overlap, coincide, correlate, and copy. Like it or not, all mankind bears the same indelible stamp, the mark of Christ.
