If we take a good look around us, it may become clear that our world doesn't appear to be the way God initially intended it to be. This deterioration happened initially in the garden of Eden and exists in full effect to this day. If we look at our own lives, we may wonder how we have played a role in this brokenness. The question then remains: Where do we go from here? Magnify seeks to answer this question by taking a look under the hood at how we tend to view both God and ourselves. It examines God's word, the Bible, to discern how we may position our lives to do what we were initially created to do: "magnify the Lord" (Ps 34).

Language makes us human, but how do we use it and how do children learn it? Talking the Talk is an introduction to the psychology of language. Written for the reader with no background in the area or knowledge of psychology, it explains how we actually "do" language: how we speak, listen, and read. This book provides an accessible and comprehensive introduction to psycholinguistics, the study of the psychological processes involved in language. It shows how it’s possible to study language experimentally, and how psychologists use these experiments to build models of language processing. The book focuses on controversy in modern psycholinguistics, and covers the all the main topics, including how children acquire language, how language is related to the brain, and what can go wrong – and what can be done when something does go wrong. Structured around questions that people often ask about language, the emphasis of Talking the Talk is how scientific knowledge can be applied to practical problems. It also stresses how language is related to other aspects of psychology, particularly in whether animals can learn language, and the relation between language and thought. Lively and amusing, the book will be essential reading for all undergraduate students and those new to the topic, as well as the interested lay reader.
