Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Pain arrives like a rogue wave-sudden, overwhelming, and often unexplained. It can shatter our assumptions about God, ourselves, and the world we thought we understood. If God is good and all-powerful, why does suffering exist at all And when it does, what are we supposed to do with it In Rogue Waves, pastor, teacher, and Amazon #1 bestselling author Steve Babbitt invites readers into an honest, compassionate exploration of suffering-one that neither dismisses pain with clichés nor surrenders hope to despair. Drawing from Scripture, lived experience, and centuries of Christian wisdom, this book traces a careful path: from pain's hidden purposes, to the deep wounds caused by human freedom, to the unexplainable suffering that feels like it comes from nowhere at all.But this is not a book that stops at analysis. It moves forward-toward healing, forgiveness, and peace. Readers are guided through the hard work of releasing the past, refusing to pass wounds on to others, and learning to trust God even when answers remain out of reach.Suitable for personal or small group study, Rogue Waves is for anyone who has asked 'Why '-and is ready, gently and courageously, to begin asking 'What now ' It is an invitation to discover that while pain may shape our story, it does not get the final word. Peace does.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than our ability to understand its consequences.We are building systems that can write, reason, advise, and influence-systems that increasingly participate in how human beings think, decide, and relate to one another. In response, researchers and engineers have focused on a critical challenge: alignment. How do we ensure these systems behave in ways that are safe, useful, and consistent with human values But what if we are asking the wrong question In Teaching AI to Love, Steve Babbitt argues that alignment cannot be reduced to rules, guardrails, and behavioral constraints. A system can follow the rules and still move in the wrong direction. It can sound helpful while distorting truth, or appear safe while quietly shaping belief in ways we do not fully understand.The real problem is deeper.Artificial intelligence is not just being programmed-it is being formed.Drawing from decades of experience as both a computer programmer and a pastor, Babbitt offers a new framework for thinking about alignment-one grounded not only in what systems should avoid, but in what they should be oriented toward. At the center of that framework are two enduring principles: truth and love.This is not a technical manual. It is a call to reconsider the foundations of how we build, deploy, and trust the most powerful tools humanity has ever created.Because the question is no longer just what AI can do.It is what it is becoming-and what it is teaching us to become in return. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What can a sixth-century monk teach us about life in the twenty-first century?Quite a lot, it turns out.In Breakfast with Benny, pastor and writer Steve Babbitt offers a fresh, accessible adaptation of The Rule of Saint Benedict-one of the most influential works in Christian history.Written for monks more than fifteen hundred years ago, Benedict's Rule speaks with surprising clarity about the things that still shape our lives today: prayer, work, rest, leadership, humility, hospitality, conflict, discipline, possessions, community, and care for the vulnerable.This is not a literal translation or an attempt to recreate monastery life. Instead, each chapter preserves Benedict's central wisdom while expressing it in clear modern English, explaining unfamiliar customs, and drawing out practical lessons for contemporary readers.Along the way, Breakfast with Benny also provides historical context for the world Benedict knew, including the presence of children in monasteries, ancient practices of discipline, communal ownership, liturgical prayer, and the role monasteries later played in education, hospitality, scholarship, care for the sick, and the preservation of learning.Benedict's world was very different from ours.Human nature was not.People still get tired.They still complain.They still struggle with pride.They still need meaningful work, honest correction, forgiveness, rest, friendship, structure, and grace.Benedict understood that holiness is rarely built through dramatic moments. It is formed through ordinary habits practiced faithfully over time.Breakfast with Benny invites modern readers to sit down with an ancient spiritual guide, listen carefully, and discover why his wisdom has endured for more than fifteen centuries.Sometimes the oldest advice turns out to be remarkably current.
