Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Urban Myths of Los AlamosStories the Atomic City Told ItselfLos Alamos is where the twentieth century learned how to end the world.It is also where people learned how to live with that knowledge.Urban Myths of Los Alamos is a haunting, darkly funny, and deeply human collection of folklore born in one of the most secretive places in American history. From the earliest days of the Manhattan Project through the Cold War and beyond, residents of the Atomic City filled the silence with stories-some whispered, some joked about, some half-believed, and some that refuse to disappear.Inside these pages you'll encounter: - Ghosts in laboratory tunnels and monsters at cemetery gates - The Demon Core and the deadly blue flash - A manhole cover that may have beaten Sputnik into space - Scientists who cracked safes for sport and hid files beneath floors - Evacuation drills that rewired instinct-and once left a family behind - Ducks that vanished, sirens that felt different, and tunnels that may go everywhere - Babies born with a post office box instead of a birthplace - Bats, Martians, flying propane tanks, and early computers that discovered vodka - The myths children absorbed, the jokes newcomers were told, and the stories no one officially confirmedThese are not official histories. They are not meant to be fact-checked into submission.They are coping mechanisms-the folklore of a town built on secrecy, pressure, brilliance, and unimaginable responsibility. In Los Alamos, where answers were often too classified, too technical, or too terrifying to hold directly, stories did the work answers couldn't.Written with warmth, wit, and reverence for the people who lived these legends, Urban Myths of Los Alamos explores why certain places feel "off," why some stories persist long after their origins fade, and how humor, exaggeration, and imagination helped an extraordinary community survive the weight of what it knew.Whether you're a history enthusiast, a folklore lover, a fan of the uncanny, or someone drawn to the human side of science, this book offers a rare invitation inside the unofficial Los Alamos-the one that exists between reports and recollections, between truth and memory.Welcome to the Atomic City.Relax. Enjoy the view.And remember: if someone tells you something strange with complete confidence. there's probably a reason they're smiling. Urban Myths of Los Alamos is book of myths from one of the most secretive places in American history. From the the Manhattan on, residents of the Atomic City filled the silence with stories that refuse to disappear. This item is printed on demand.

"The Word became flesh and moved into the neighborhood." - John 1:14What does it really mean for God to become human?In Love Made Flesh, Mark David Albertson takes readers beyond the nativity scene to explore the radical reality of divine love-love that risks, waits, weeps, and stays. Blending theology, storytelling, and gentle humor, Albertson reveals a God who trades glory for grit and holiness for humanity.Through deeply relatable stories and biblical reflection, you'll discover: The God who still shows up in barns, hospital rooms, and broken hearts.Why real love always involves risk-and why that's good news.How the Incarnation continues every time we embody compassion.That faith isn't about avoiding pain, but learning to love through it.Perfect for Advent reflection or year-round inspiration, Love Made Flesh reminds us that the miracle of Christmas never ended-it's still happening, every time love takes human form.What if the Christmas story wasn't about magic-but about love so vulnerable it changed everything?In Love Made Flesh, Mark David Albertson invites readers to rediscover the Incarnation as the heart of God's love story. From the manger to the cross, from the laughter of a baby to the tears of a dying Savior, this is the story of a God who doesn't hover above our pain but moves into the neighborhood, sleeves rolled up.Each chapter weaves Scripture, personal reflection, and modern parables that show divine love not as theory, but as something raw, risky, and breathtakingly real. You'll meet the God who gets dirt under His nails, the parent who waits by the window, and the love that keeps showing up long after the miracle glow fades.This isn't just a Christmas book-it's a devotional for every season, reminding us that love still takes on flesh whenever we dare to live with open hearts.For readers of Henri Nouwen, Barbara Brown Taylor, and Philip Yancey.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Love Matters: Inspiration for New Couples and People Who Need a New PerspectiveLove is often portrayed as effortless-something that either "works" or doesn't. But anyone who has lived inside a committed relationship knows the truth: love is learned. It is shaped over time through communication, patience, forgiveness, and the daily choice to stay engaged with another imperfect human being.Love Matters is a thoughtful, honest, and deeply practical guide for couples who want a relationship that lasts-not because it avoids difficulty, but because it knows how to move through it with grace.Written for new couples, long-term partners, marriages in need of renewal, and relationships navigating real-life challenges, this book offers thirty short readings designed to be read together. Each chapter can be completed in under an hour and includes reflection questions and simple practices that invite meaningful conversation and shared growth. The structure makes Love Matters ideal for couples' devotions, counseling settings, small groups, or quiet evenings at home.Drawing from years of pastoral ministry, conflict mediation, and lived experience, Mark David Albertson writes with humility, clarity, and warmth. He does not offer rigid formulas or idealized versions of marriage. Instead, he names what couples actually face: miscommunication, unresolved conflict, mismatched expectations, stress, grief, changing intimacy, forgiveness after hurt, and the challenge of choosing one another again and again over time.At the heart of Love Matters is the belief that strong relationships are built on skill, not luck. Healthy couples are not those who avoid conflict, but those who learn how to fight fairly, repair quickly, listen deeply, and remain emotionally connected even when life becomes difficult. Throughout the book, Albertson blends pastoral insight, real-life stories, gentle humor, and progressive Christian theology to create a tone that is both grounded and hopeful.This book is written intentionally for all couples-gay, straight, queer, and everything in between. It assumes mutual dignity, consent, and partnership, and it resists shame-based or exclusionary approaches to faith and marriage. While rooted in Christian spirituality, Love Matters is accessible to readers across belief spectrums and is especially helpful for those who have felt wounded, excluded, or misunderstood by traditional religious conversations about relationships.Topics explored include: communicating with honesty and carelearning to fight fairly and repair after conflictsetting healthy boundariesnavigating forgiveness without denialtending intimacy across seasons of lifeweathering hardship togetherdiscovering shared purposechoosing one another intentionally over timeIn addition to serving couples directly, Love Matters is also a valuable resource for pastors, Christian counselors, chaplains, spiritual directors, and mentors who walk with couples in their communities. A companion pastoral and counseling guide expands the book's usefulness in church, counseling, and group settings.Ultimately, Love Matters is not a book about achieving the "perfect" relationship. It is a book about practicing faithful love-love that is honest, resilient, repairable, and rooted in grace.Because love matters. And how we love each other matters more than we know.
