By: Cambria Joy Dam-Mikkleson,Tega Faafa,Lauren Groves,Kolby Knell,Alexus Lee,Gabrielle McCullough,Alena Pitts,Yvonne Faith Russell,Tara Sun

As the world experiences a loneliness epidemic, we need friendship as much as we ever have before. People could live their whole lives online. School, church, work, and a social life can all be found on the internet, providing opportunities to trade deep friendships for convenient yet shallow acquaintances. The easier it becomes to be independent, the harder it is to find togetherness––especially for teen girls and young women. Hey Friend: 31 Journaling Devotions on Friendship helps girls know that God made them for friendship. They don’t have to live life alone. Each devotion is written by young women for young women and offers relatable stories of friendship, passages of Scripture, journaling questions, and practical ways to find friends instead of staying isolated. Friendships end, begin, and change all the time, and Hey Friend is every girl's guide to learning how to navigate friendship in changing seasons from switching schools to going off to college to needing to walk away from certain friendships and invest in others. Writers Cambria Joy Dam-Mikkleson, Tega Faafa, Alexus Lee, Lauren Groves, Kolby Knell, Gabrielle McCullough, Alena Pitts, Yvonne Faith Russell, and Tara Sun each write about what the Bible has to say about friendship and what it means for each reader’s friendships today. Their stories are honest and heartbreaking, hilarious and sincere, encouraging and empowering. They beckon readers not to simply take their advice, but to search for what God's Word has to say about community and companionship. These devotions will help young women: handle drama in friendship know what to do when feeling isolated speak highly of friends instead of gossiping find trustworthy friends love friends like Jesus did pray for friends discover the Bible's themes of friendship Hey Friend is a tool for togetherness in a lonely world.

Transcendence and Non-Naturalism in Early Chinese Thought

By: Alexus McLeod,Joshua R. Brown

Contemporary scholars of Chinese philosophy often presuppose that early China possessed a naturalistic worldview, devoid of any non-natural concepts, such as transcendence. Challenging this presupposition head-on, Joshua R. Brown and Alexus McLeod argue that non-naturalism and transcendence have a robust and significant place in early Chinese thought. This book reveals that non-naturalist positions can be found in early Chinese texts, in topics including conceptions of the divine, cosmogony, and apophatic philosophy. Moreover, by closely examining a range of early Chinese texts, and providing comparative readings of a number of Western texts and thinkers, the book offers a way of reading early Chinese Philosophy as consistent with the religious philosophy of the East and West, including the Abrahamic and the Brahmanistic religions. Co-written by a philosopher and theologian, this book draws out unique insights into early Chinese thought, highlighting in particular new ways to consider a range of Chinese concepts, including tian, dao, li, and you/wu.

Philosophy of the Ancient Maya

Lords of Time

By: Alexus McLeod

This book investigates some of the central topics of metaphysics in the philosophical thought of the Maya people of Mesoamerica, particularly from the Preclassic through Postclassic periods. This book covers the topics of time, change, identity, and truth, through comparative investigation integrating Maya texts and practices—such as Classic Period stelae, Postclassic Codices, and Colonial-era texts such as the Popol Vuh and the books of Chilam Balam—and early Chinese philosophy.

The Dao of Madness

Mental Illness and Self-Cultivation in Early Chinese Philosophy and Medicine

By: Alexus McLeod

Chapter One lays out the dominant views of self, agency, and moral responsibility in early Chinese Philosophy. The reason for this is that these views inform the ways early Chinese thinkers approach mental illness, as well as the role they see it playing in self-cultivation as a whole (whether they view it as problematic or beneficial, for example). In this chapter I offer a view of a number of dominant conceptions of mind, body, and agency in early Chinese thought, through a number of philosophical and medical texts"--

Theories of Truth in Chinese Philosophy

A Comparative Approach

By: Alexus McLeod

Theories of Truth in Chinese Philosophy deals with debates surrounding the concept of truth in early Chinese thought, from the earliest periods through to the Han dynasty. Alexus McLeod focuses first on the question of whether there is a concept of truth in early Chinese thought, giving a critical overview of the positions of contemporary scholars on this issue, outlining their arguments and considering objections and possible problems and alternatives. McLeod then goes on to consider a number of possible theories of truth in early Chinese philosophy, giving an overview of what he takes to be the main contenders for truth concepts in the early material, and surrounding concepts and positions. In addition, the author considers how these theories of truth might be relevant in contemporary debates surrounding truth, as well as in the context of theories of truth in the history of philosophy, both in Western and Indian thought.

Astronomy in the Ancient World

Early and Modern Views on Celestial Events

By: Alexus McLeod

Alexus McLeod explores every aspect of the lesser-known history of astronomy in the Americas (Mesoamerica and North America), China and India, each through the frame of a particular astronomical phenomena. Part One considers the development of astronomy in the Americas as a response, in part, to the Supernova of 1054, which may have led to a cultural renaissance in astronomy. He then goes on to explore the contemporary understanding of supernovae, contrasting it with that of the ancient Americas. Part Two is framed through the appearances of great comets, which had major divinatory significance in early China. The author discusses the advancement of observational astronomy in China, its influence on politics and its role in the survival or failure of empires. Furthermore, the contemporary understanding of comets is also discussed for comparison. Part Three, on India, considers the magnificent observatories of the Rajput king Jai Singh II, and the question of their purpose. The origins of Indian astronomy are examined in Vedic thought and its development is followed through the period of Jai Singh, including the role played by solar eclipses. The author also includes a modern explanation of our understanding of eclipses to date. In the final section of the book, McLeod discusses how ancient traditions might help modern civilization better understand Earth’s place in the cosmos.
