Superhero violence and graphic action sequences are prevalent on the screen and on the page, but this book takes an alternative route with practical guidance, frameworks, and tools for incorporating the principles of peacebuilding and nonviolence into compelling fiction. By mapping a path less travelled but just as vital in divisive times, in n A Fiction Writer's Guide to Peace: Crafting Nonviolent Heroism (Bloomsbury, 2025) Dr. Gabriel Ertsgaard shows writers how they can enact nonviolent heroism in their characters, model civil resistance in their stories, and create worlds around a mythos that champions redemptive nonviolence. With concepts applicable to writing for fiction, drama, the screen, and narrative poetry, A Fiction Writer's Guide to Peace deconstructs the necessity for violence in popular works, explores key concepts in peace studies, and helps writers establish their own peace poetics. Focused around the narrative craft techniques of character arcs, campaigns, duels, and worldbuilding, the book features numerous creative writing prompts and examples from key works. These include films such as Trading Places, Selma, Lage Raho Munna Bai, and Frozen and literature ranging from Shakespeare's plays to Dickens' A Christmas Carol to Julia Quinn's Bridgerton novels. A timely and important expansion to any writer's toolkit, A Fiction Writer's Guide to Peace allows storytellers to understand the complex dynamics of, and the damage caused by, violent perspectives and actions, giving them a way into considering nonviolence as powerful and preferable. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Visionary leader and scholar Drew Dickens joins Blake to unpack the promises and pitfalls of artificial intelligence in our spiritual and everyday lives. From the temptation of spiritual sloth to the rise of misinformation and echo chambers, we explore how AI can both enrich and erode meaningful engagement with truth, study, and community. The conversation covers practical concerns—like AI-generated sermons, fine-tuned chatbots that reinforce bias, and video generation tools that can spread false doctrine—all while calling listeners to pursue discernment and deeper study. We also reflect on the growing cognitive impacts of relying on AI, and the urgent need for transparency, theological clarity, and critical thinking, especially within Christian tech tools. Whether you're excited or cautious about AI, this episode challenges you to pause, double-check, and stay grounded in spiritual disciplines in the age of automation. In this episode, you'll be able to… Understand how AI can unintentionally contribute to misinformation and spiritual laziness if not used with discernment. Explore the risks of AI-generated content creating echo chambers and reinforcing biases—especially within Christian spaces. Reflect on the importance of theological transparency, personal study, and critical thinking in engaging with AI tools and Christian content.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we dove deeper into our weekly theme of “Killing Sin” by discussing the importance of eradicating sin. We were all born into sin, so it’s the nature of our flesh to sin, but we aren’t bound to it because Jesus Christ delivered us from it. As followers of Christ, we are to cast down and kill the sin, which is precisely what God wants us to do. We turned to Proverbs 6:16-19, where we see how God feels about sin. We then examined Romans 12:1-2, where Paul instructs us to present our bodies as holy to God and not to be conformed to the world. Are you killing the sin in your life? Dr. Drew Dickens also joined us to discuss how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help us overcome sin. Dr. Dickens is a visionary leader, AI expert, and scholar who has made significant contributions to the intersection of technology, spirituality, and faith-based engagement. He is also the founder of the Encountering Peace app and the Encounter Podcast, which provides biblical meditations, resources, and dialogue. Dr. Dickens has also authored the book “Whispers of the Spirit: A 40-Day Guide to Intimate Prayer.” We then had Rob West join us to discuss the three sins we need to overcome to achieve biblical financial stewardship: Greed, Fear, and Pride. Rob West is the host of the nationally syndicated radio program, Faith and Finance Live, which airs weekday afternoons at 3 pm on 90.1FM. He is also the host of the Faith and Finance podcast and the CEO of Kingdom Advisors, a community of financial professionals who deliver biblically wise financial advice. Rob has also authored the 21-day devotional, “Look at the Sparrows.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Unfortunately, Larke and Troy decide to go caroling and to give toys to needy children, making the party a bust. Only a few of the teens show up, and they all get snowed in at the Teen Club due a cheap snow machine. In order to pass the time, they tell Jillian and Chester their version of Dickens's "A Christmas Carol.” Of course, they cast themselves as the characters, with Buck as Scrooge. Radley, Switchboard, and Nikki are the Ghosts, and they show Buck the errors of being über-wealthy. In true Scrooge fashion, he donates a huge sum of money to the orphanage.Surfing ghosts? Check. Travel via landline? Got it. Bah, hummingbird? Bah, hummingbird?!?!

Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870)Translated by OnbekendOliver Twist is de titel en het hoofdpersonage van één van de bekendste romans van de Britse schrijver Charles Dickens, gepubliceerd in 1838. Het boek verscheen aanvankelijk in afzonderlijke delen, die van februari 1837 tot april 1839 werden gepubliceerd.Oliver Twist was vooral bedoeld als protest van Dickens tegen de wantoestanden van die tijd. Kinderarbeid in de zogenaamde Work Houses (armenhuizen) en de onderwereld waarin straatkinderen tot crimineel worden opgeleid spelen in het boek een grote rol. De hoofdpersoon, Oliver Twist, is een weesjongen door wiens ogen we het harde leven in Londen rond 1830 bekijken.Genre(s): General FictionLanguage: Dutch
In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, host Jonathan Thomas speaks with Sophie Reynolds, Head of Collections, Interpretation & Engagement at Jane Austen's house in Chawton, Hampshire, about the enduring legacy of Jane Austen as a literary figure. 2025 is the 250th anniversary of her birth, so there are celebrations at Chawton and all over the world to celebrate this literary great. They discuss Austen's impact on literature, her proto-feminist perspective, and the evolution of her house museum in Hampshire.

Links Jane Austen's House Official Website Chawton House A Jane Austen Year Book A Jane Austen Year Podcast Places to Visit in Britain for Jane Austen Fans Historic First: Jane Austen's Final Home Opens to Public Jane Austen: A visit to Jane Austen's Home - Video Great Britons: Everything You Need to Know About Literary Great Jane Austen Jane Austen Wrecked My Life Takeaways Sophie Reynolds has a background in theater and performance. Jane Austen's house is a modest but significant site in literary history. Austen's writing was influenced by her experiences and the society she lived in. The house has been transformed into an immersive experience for visitors. Austen's novels challenge social conventions and advocate for female agency. Her characters are realistic and relatable, transcending time and culture. Austen's writing style includes free and direct speech, influencing modern literature. The museum hosts various events to celebrate Austen's legacy. Visitors from around the world come to experience Jane Austen's house. Sophie emphasizes the importance of making literature accessible to all. Sound Bites On Jane Austen's modest writing conditions: "So many writers, you know, think of Dickens, his desk is very large and imposing and has a leather top and he had a lovely comfy chair and he had his own room that he could shut the door... Jane Austen didn't have that. She had this tiny, tiny, funny little table and it's barely big enough for a sheet of paper." On making the house feel lived-in: "We wanted to make the house feel populated... we have recordings of actresses speaking from Jane Austen's letters or from her novels. So there's a kind of little background, little hubbub. It's not intrusive, but it's just the sense that the house is occupied." On Austen as a proto-feminist: "She wrote realistic female characters... She doesn't give her male characters particular... they're not as three-dimensional as our female characters. They don't have thoughts and as much to say in the way that you sort of might expect." On visitor reactions to the writing table: "We get many visitors who burst into tears over the writing table because not only is it seeing where this extraordinary writer who they admire so much worked but it's such a tiny table. It's so modest." On Austen's real personality: "People seem to sort of have this idea of her as a very gentle, romantic soul in a bonnet and a long dress... And actually she was a very spiky person... she wrote some extraordinary letters to her sister where she is very rude about their neighbors and their friends and their family." On the challenge of literary house museums: "Something that's really difficult to do and that most museums don't do is set out to really showcase the creative life of that person... most museums... show the domestic life... the pots and pans, the cups and saucers, and maybe the clothes." On Austen's teenage writings: "They are so not what you would expect Jane Austen to be writing. They are really wild... There's a character who she kidnaps her children, they eat her fingers and they're all on a raft at sea." On the pilgrimage aspect: "For a lot of people, visiting Jane Austen's house is almost like a kind of pilgrimage. People... just love Jane Austen so much and it's an incredibly important... They want to have a very moving experience. They want to sense something about Jane Austen's presence there." On her literary innovations: "She wrote realistic novels in a time when that really wasn't the norm... After Jane Austen, that does become much more what the English novel is doing... She wrote really brilliant, realistic dialogue." On Austen's enduring cultural impact: "Once you start to sort of look for it and you get your eye in, she is in sort of every aspect of our culture... the first line of Pride and Prejudice... has been turned into every single imaginable universal truth that you could imagine on coffee mugs and on t-shirts."

What does feel like to live helplessly in a world that is coming undone? If you're alive in 2025, you are probably very familiar with this feeling - and if you'd been alive in the age of Victorian literature, you might have felt that way too. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Nathan K. Hensley about his book Action without Hope: Victorian Literature after Climate Collapse, which studies how authors like George Eliot, Emily Brontë, H.G. Wells, Lewis Carroll, and Christina Rossetti used aesthetic strategies to deal with the anxiety and despair of ongoing climate disaster. What did they face? How did they cope? And can we learn from their examples? PLUS Jacke dives into some news from Italian museums, where people have been "losing their brains." What's going on with them? AND two Dickens experts, Stephen Browning and Simon Thomas, co-authors of The Real Charles Dickens, stop by to discuss their choice for the last book will they ever read. Will they choose something by Dickens? Note: The "My Last Book" conversation in this episode was recorded before the untimely passing of Stephen Browning. He was a wonderful guest, and we at the History of Literature Podcast are very grateful to have had the chance to speak with him. Our deepest sympathies are with his friends, family, and loved ones.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) led one of the most colorful and interesting lives of any author. But while many of us are familiar with his unforgettable characters and fantastically successful novels, we often don't know the details of his difficult early life, his success as a reporter, his troubled marriage and suspected relationship with another woman, and his social reform efforts. In this episode, Jacke talks to Stephen Browning and Simon Thomas, whose book The Real Charles Dickens takes the reader on a journey into the heart of Dickens's life, work, and legacy. PLUS Jacke, inspired by a new exhibit at the Charles Dickens Museum, discusses the theatricality of Dickens's work.

Der „Ghost Club“ wurde 1862 in London gegründet und existiert, mit Unterbrechungen, bis heute. Unter dem Dach des Clubs widmeten sich bekannte Persönlichkeiten wie Charles Dickens und Sir Arthur Conan Doyle der Geisterjagd und der Erforschung paranormaler Phänomene. Wir haben uns mit der bewegten Geschichte des Clubs beschäftigt und fragen uns, ob es einen besonderen Grund dafür gibt, dass ausgerechnet Großbritannien eine so langlebige Einrichtung hervorbringen konnte.

In this episode of Historical Happy Hour, bestselling author Jane Healey sits down with novelist Alison Epstein to discuss her bold reimagining of Oliver Twist in her new book Fagan and the Thief. Epstein offers a compelling retelling from the perspective of Jacob Fagan, Dickens' infamous pickpocket, giving him a first name, a backstory, and—most importantly—humanity. They explore the novel's reclamation of a deeply antisemitic character, delve into Epstein's research process for recreating Victorian London, and unpack themes of identity, mentorship, toxic relationships, and moral ambiguity. The conversation is an insightful look at how historical fiction can be both entertaining and powerfully subversive.
Summary:All human responses are the result of the interplay of aperson's thinking, emoting and behavior. In this episode of the Trainer's Bullpen, host Chris Butler interviews Dr. John Azar-Dickens, a licensed clinical psychologist and police officer, about the important aspects ofoperationalizing realistic and effective deescalation tactics. They discuss the development and application of the TEB model, which focuses on assessing thought, emotion, and behavior in crisis situations, and how it can quickly improve communication and decision-making for officers. Dr. Azar-Dickens emphasizes the importance of understandingthe unique challenges faced by police officers and the need for tailoredtraining that integrates these fundamental psychological principles with tactical skills. The conversation also touches on the complexities of dealing with individuals in crisis, including the phenomenon of suicide by cop, and thenecessity for officers to maintain emotional regulation during high-stress encounters.Takeaways• Dr. Azar-Dickens transitioned from psychology to law enforcement to better understand policing.• The TEB model assesses thought, emotion, and behavior to inform crisis communication.• Crisis communication should focus on reducing emotional intensity.• Directive communication is necessary for compliant individuals, while crisis communication is for those in distress.• Officers have been seriously injured and killed by incorrectly discerning the type of subject they are dealing with and using the wrong communication strategy.• Officers must assess the situation quickly to determine the appropriate communication style.• Suicide by cop often involves individuals with contaminated thinking and high emotion. If officers can rapidly assess they are potentially dealing with a suicide by cop subject, they may be able to implement better control strategies to manage the encounter.• Training must integrate communication strategies within tactical skills.• Emotional regulation is crucial for officers during high-stress situations, and this can be taught when done correctly.• The TEB model provides a framework for officers to quickly assess a person and navigate the complex interactions.
Welcome to the London History Podcast. In this episode, we journey through the cobbled streets of Victorian London, where the sound of barrel organs and the chatter of Italian voices once filled the air. Join Hazel Baker as she uncovers the remarkable story of Little Italy—a vibrant immigrant enclave in Clerkenwell, shaped by migration, resilience, and transformation. We'll walk the lanes immortalised by Dickens, meet the artisans and street musicians who brought the city to life, and explore how their music became the soundtrack of London's streets. From the crowded workshops of Eyre Street Hill to the legal battles over street music, this is a tale of hope, hardship, and the indelible mark left by London's Italian community.

The Financial Therapy Podcast - It's Not Just About The Money
Long before he became a miser, Scrooge was a lonely boy left behind at boarding school—forgotten, unwanted, and emotionally starved. In this IFS-informed exploration, Rick traces how those early wounds formed exiled parts burdened with shame and abandonment, which in turn gave rise to the controlling, isolated adult we meet in A Christmas Carol. Scrooge's obsession with money, his cold demeanor, and his rejection of connection weren't signs of greed—they were survival strategies. Through this lens, Dickens' story becomes more than a tale of redemption—it's a powerful look at how childhood trauma shapes adult financial behavior and how healing begins when we finally turn toward those long-forgotten parts.A podcast that blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive making them.Rick Kahler, CFP®, CFT-I™, has helped people make better money decisions by integrating financial planning. He blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive making them and shares them on his financial therapy podcast.
Ever since Franz Anton Mesmer induced trance-like states in his Parisian subjects in the late eighteenth century, dressed in long purple robes, hypnosis has been associated with performance, power and the occult. It has exerted a powerful hold over the cultural imagination, featuring in novels and films including Bram Stoker's Dracula and George du Maurier's Trilby - and it was even practiced by Charles Dickens himself.But despite some debate within the medical establishment about the scientific validity of hypnosis, it continues to be used today as a successful treatment for physical and psychological conditions. Scientists are also using hypnosis to learn more about the power of suggestion and belief.

"The writer has to have patience, the perseverance to just sit there alone and grind it out. And if that's not worth doing," Leonard said, "then he doesn't want to write." Leonard wanted to write from a young age, and write he did, first producing western stories and western novels before moving toward the crime novels that made his reputation. His is the career of a working writer the likes we don't see much of anymore. About COOLER THAN COOL, Pulitzer Prize winner Dave Barry writes that "If you love Elmore Leonard-and who doesn't?-you'll love this fascinating, richly detailed account of how one of our greatest storytellers lived his life and learned his craft."Over the course of his sixty-year career, Elmore Leonard published forty-five novels that had enduring appeal to readers around the world. Revered by other writers such as Martin Amis, Margaret Atwood, Raymond Carver, and Stephen King, his books were innovative in their blending of a Hemingway-inspired noirish minimalism and masterful use of dialogue over exposition-a direct evolution spurred by his years as a screenwriter.When C. M. Kushins was fifteen he worked up his courage and wrote a fan letter to Elmore and included one of his own short stories. Elmore proofread it and wrote an encouraging letter back. Years later, Kushins finally got a short story published and Elmore sent him a congratulatory note. When he first started thinking about writing this book, Kushins went nosing around the University of South Carolina archives-and found his own letters going back to when he was fifteen. Elmore had saved all their correspondence. It was this story that helped him get the Leonard family on board with the book. Indeed, the Leonard family has fully participated, contributing original interviews, additional personal correspondence, exclusive photographs, as well as access to Leonard's unfinished final novel. The biography also includes unpublished, loose memoir excerpts. These are included here for the first time to illuminate key passages of importance throughout Leonard's life in his own words.Leonard's fiction contained many layers, and at the heart of his work were progressive themes, stemming from his years as a student of the Jesuit religious order, his personal beliefs in social justice, and his successful battle over alcoholism. He drew inspiration from greats like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, but the true motivation and brilliance behind his crime writing was the ongoing class struggle to achieve the American Dream-often seen through the eyes of law enforcement officers and the criminals they vowed to apprehend.COOLER THAN COOL is not just a biography for fans of Leonard's fiction. His is work was also the source material for many movies including 3:10 to Yuma, Hombre, Jackie Brown, Get Shorty, Out of Sight-as well as the TV series Justified-and influenced American filmmaking, especially the western and crime genres.Definitive and revealing, COOLER THAN COOL shows Leonard emerging as one of the last writers of the "pulp fiction" era of midcentury America, to ultimately become one of the most successful storytellers of the twentieth century, whose influence continues to have far-reaching effects on both contemporary crime fiction and American filmmaking.One more thing: 2025 also marks Elmore Leonard's centennial. In September, Mariner Books will bring a never-published novella by the author, Picket Line, with an introduction by Kushins, timed to Leonard's October birthday.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Today's bad idea is ‘genius', the label that has enabled all sorts of terrible behaviour through the ages. Writer and broadcaster Helen Lewis explains how and why the idea of genius gets misapplied to people and things that just aren't. Why are geniuses meant to be tortured? Why are individual geniuses prized over the collaborations that lie behind most innovations? Why do we think that people who are brilliant at one thing will be good at everything else? Plus, David makes the case for Dickens as a bona fide genius. The Genius Myth by Helen Lewis is out from today wherever you get your books https://bit.ly/3FSAKda David's new 20-part series Postwar – about the 1945 general election and the making of modern Britain – is available now on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002d8v1 Next time on The History of Bad Ideas: The Decisive Battle w/Dan Snow Learn more about your ad choices.

What if one of history's most famous authors unknowingly documented your ancestor's immigration journey? In 1863, my three-times-great-grandmother Rachel Smuin sailed from England to America aboard the Amazon—and Charles Dickens was there to witness it all. Expecting to find chaos and disorder among 800 Mormon emigrants, Dickens instead discovered remarkable organization, cheerfulness, and dignity that completely challenged his preconceptions. His detailed letter about that day provides an incredible window into Rachel's actual crossing experience, from the crowded London docks to the careful inspections before departure. I'll read you Dickens' account and share how I discovered this hidden gem that brings my ancestor's journey to life. This episode will inspire you to search for the contemporary records, newspaper articles, and historical accounts that might capture your own family's pivotal moments in surprising detail.〰️

In this episode, Gwyneth sits down with filmmaker Ky Dickens, creator of The Telepathy Tapes, the podcast that's sparked a powerful conversation about connection, consciousness, and how we listen. Dickens shares what she's uncovered after years spent with families of nonspeaking autistic children—many of whom seem to communicate in ways that challenge everything we think we know about language, intuition, and the mind. They talk about the resistance to what we can't quantify, the power of deep maternal bonds, and what becomes possible when we learn to truly listen. Whether you approach this with skepticism or curiosity, this conversation invites a new way of thinking about consciousness—and the unexpected forms it might take.
