Even in the middle of brokenness and overwhelming pain, God has a plan and a purpose for your life, and he is ready to heal you in ways you never thought possible. Join Shawn Johnson, lead pastor of Red Rocks Church, as he gives a searingly honest portrait of anxiety and depression and shows readers how to fight back and live free. Shawn Johnson was the lead pastor of a thriving, fast-growing church. He was supposed to have it all together. But he was also struggling in silence with anxiety and depression, suffering from debilitating panic attacks that told him the lie that this would never end, that he'd spend the rest of his life in excruciating pain. In Attacking Anxiety, Shawn vulnerably shares about this dark time and offers those familiar with that same struggle everything he's learned in his battles with anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. Join Shawn as he: Exposes the lies that lead to isolation and replace them with the truths that are essential to survival Reveals the things that most of us don't realize are adding more anxiety and depression to our lives and replace them with the wisdom and support that lead to true freedom Explains what to do when you, or someone you love, is in the middle of a panic attack Guides you through what you need to know in order to start attacking anxiety and depression Praise for Attacking Anxiety: "In our current culture where depression and anxiety are at an all-time high, Attacking Anxiety comes at just the right time. This book is the perfect resource to read if you, like me, have battled anxiousness, loss of control, or even the inability to cope. Pastor Shawn dives into how we can live a life where anxiety isn't our label or our future. He shows us that we don't have to just sit back and let it attack us, we can choose to fight back--with the weapons of God's Word--and overcome the anxiety monster once and for all and live the life God always intended for us to live: free." --Madison Prewitt, bestselling author of Made for This Moment

This work on regional collaboration grows out of what has itself become a long-standing collaboration between the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and the University of Montana Public Policy Research Institute (now named the Center for Natural Resources and Environmental Policy). Regional planning at different scales, territorial spillovers, and multijurisdictional governance has long been part of the Department of Planning and Urban Form's research and training agenda. Through a joint venture partnership, we have been able to study and field test the ideas in this book over nearly a decade, primarily through training sessions and place-based clinics on regional efforts across North America.
Although it begins with a chapter that answers the question, "Why work across boundaries?," this book is really more about the "how" of regional collaboration than the "why." That is appropriate, as it is intended for citizens, practitioners, and policy makers already grappling with the challenges presented by transboundary issues who seek guidance on the process by which regional solutions can be identified and implemented.
The book presents an array of practical and tested strategies and techniques that can be employed across the broad range of land use, natural resource, and environmental issues at scales ranging from the metropolitan to the megaregional, including watersheds and ecosystems. Whether you are deeply engaged in a regional initiative, or just beginning to explore a regional strategy, this book provides a robust set of ten guiding principles, five key questions for regional governance, and seven habits of effective implementation that can be referred to before, during, and after undertaking regional collaboration.

The enigmatic figure known as Jesus Christ has changed billions of lives throughout history. Exactly who was Jesus? Was he God? The son of God? The Messiah? Was the Messiah supposed to be crucified? Jesus also spoke about someone coming after him that would lead all mankind to truth. So who is this entity who Jesus called The 'Spirit of Truth'? After years of pondering and studying all of the above issues, I embarked on a journey to rediscover Jesus. In this book, I have combined the current four Gospels (as well as other historical sources from the time that Jesus was here on this earth) into a new Super Gospel with new insights and a slightly different Jesus than we currently know. May this book guide those who wish to be guided to THE LIGHT.

In this text, the authors present current research in the study of the physics, composition/dynamics and health impacts of atmosphere and climate. The topics discussed include global warming in the context of millennial climate history; large ice sheets may have the capacity to self-destruct and cause rapid and permanent changes in global climate and sea level; temporal and spatial patterns of PM10 concentrations in urban areas; and advanced fibrous adsorbents for CO2 removal from power plants and the atmosphere.
