David W. Powell enlisted for a tour of duty in April 1966 with the US Marines after receiving an imminent draft notice.

David's journey from naive civilian to battle-hardened combat veteran shows us all how fragile our humanity really is.

With passionate logic and chillingly clear prose, author and educator Suzanne Methot uses history, human development, and her own and others’ stories to trace the roots of Indigenous cultural dislocation and community breakdown in an original and provocative examination of the long-term effects of colonization.

For generations, the Church has celebrated Abraham's obedience on Mount Moriah—the father who raised the knife, the God who provided the ram, the son who survived the altar. We've built entire theologies around radical faith and sacrificial surrender. But we've never preached what came next. Sarah died immediately after Isaac's near-sacrifice. Isaac withdrew into his mother's tent and never truly led his family. Rebekah manipulated the blessing because her husband was too passive to discern. Jacob and Esau's rivalry fractured a nation. The promise survived, but the family collapsed under ...

This is a Tamil summary of the book 'The Body Keeps the Score', written by Bessel van der Kolk. In this compelling book, the author Bessel van der Kolk delves into the profound subject of trauma, discussing how our bodies retain the impact of traumatic experiences, the role of the brain in processing trauma, and the healing power of the body. He seeks to answer questions about the effects of trauma on our physical and mental health, and how we can utilise our body's resilience to heal.

While the naked eye can see the immediate effects of that trauma, it is usually the long-term trauma we carry that bogs us down and infects every aspect of our lives, whether we are aware of it or not. Workbook: The Body Keeps the Score not only provides all of van der Kolk's teachings about trauma in a clear, comprehensive, and condensed manner—without missing anything important—it also allows you to delve deeper into the book's concepts and explore your own personal journey with trauma while prompting you to take action to create a lasting impact.
