We are each individually and collectively creating the reality we currently find ourselves in. Is it working for most people? This book is my personal story on how I ended up where I did. From my exploration you can also see why you have ended up where you have. Our societal systems are fractured and outdated. A crisis in consciousness is our problem. Free yourself from your limited reality and really be free to explore more expansive solutions.

Mass trauma is an unavoidable reality in the United States. Trauma from violence, natural disasters, and disease has become all too familiar in the American experience, inevitably raising questions about where God is to be found in the midst of such tragedies. In every case, the aftermath leaves communities’ sense of well-being broken and capacity to imagine a way forward thwarted. Though language often fails us in the midst of trauma, preachers and religious leaders are nevertheless called on to offer a Word. Fractured Ground helps pastors craft sermons that fully plumb the disorienting suffering created by events of mass trauma, while still offering an authentic word of hope. Kimberly Wagner provides both incisive explanations of what trauma is and especially how it affects communities of faith, along with practical guidance for crafting sermons that reflect the brokenness of the traumatic situation and the persistent love of God that binds the broken together. Drawing on the burgeoning field of trauma studies, eschatological theologies of hope, scriptural wisdom, and liturgies of lament, Wagner helps preachers imagine what it might mean to preach a narratively fractured sermon in the aftermath of a communal traumatic event, ultimately affirming that no amount of brokenness is beyond the presence and promise of God.

A 'refuge' provides a place of safety, a place which constitutes the necessary conditions for making work. But what are the conditions of making work for the displaced, exiled or the migrant artist when the 'place' and conditions for work have (perhaps) been erased? On Refuge looks at how such altered conditions affect the work of performance and considers how performance constructs its own production and survival. The contributors address issues of territory and asylum, home and exile, locality and migration - as they affect both artists themselves and the forms evident in contemporary performance.

In a world where death is no longer the end, humanity faces an unexpected crisis. The revolutionary Regen System, a technology allowing people to be reborn anew when they die, was meant to be a beacon of hope and progress. Instead, it has unleashed unforeseen consequences. As people regenerate into younger versions, the population swells with newborns, leading to a severe imbalance. Cities are overrun with children while the number of adults dwindles, creating a society struggling to maintain order and stability. Amid this chaos, a startling revelation comes to light: the president, a seemingly eternal figurehead, has secretly used the Regen System to remain in power for far too many terms. "Echoes of Fractured Reality" explores the limits of human ingenuity and the cost of eternal life. Will humanity find a way to balance the promise of rebirth with the reality of its consequences, or will the system designed to give new life ultimately lead to its downfall?
