An inspiring story of tragedy and triumph for a bullied boy coming of age and discovering his place in the world. A poignant account of finding one's worth and a higher calling.Young Josiah is a boy who is curious and smart, yet he feels different from other kids, as if he doesn't belong or fit in anywhere. Throughout his early school years, physical and emotional bullying takes a toll on young Josiah, reshaping his childhood into one of fear, loneliness, and withdrawal. But when a few special people give him a sense of self-importance and self-worth, Josiah's life takes a turn to a higher calling. Author Jason Potter brings an inspiring and impactful story of overcoming trauma to young adult readers, showing that all lives are equally valuable and are determined not by others but by the heart at the core of every person.Josiah is a masterfully written and moving story relatable to so many young adults either witnessing or experiencing traumatic bullying, an increasingly common and unfortunate occurrence in today's landscape. A psychotherapist and chaplain, Potter hopes his story, based loosely on his own experiences, inspires hope for those who are bullied, ostracized, or feel other.

From Wiliam Malmborg, author of the bestselling novels Jimmy, Daddy's Little Girl and The Girl Who Played with the Ouija Board, comes a new twisted thriller about a traumatized war veteran and the girl he keeps locked-up in a straitjacket.It was supposed to be a simple mission. Josiah was to go to Joel's home and kill him. But then Joel's daughter showed up while he was dismembering the body, changing everything. Mel went to her father's house thinking it would simply be for the night; a much-needed escape from her mother and her new boyfriend. Instead, it turned into a nightmare that she never imagined possible, one that now has her strapped into a straitjacket in a second floor bedroom of an old farm house.Josiah doesn't know what to do with the girl he brought back home with him. Normally he gets instructions letting him know what his next mission is, but now The Father has gone silent, almost as if he is awaiting something. But what? A message? A sign?Mel doesn't know why she is being kept in a straitjacket, but whatever the reason, she doesn't like it and wants it to end. To make that happen, she needs to free herself while the man is away. Easier said than done. Worse yet, her struggles seem to have caught the attention of someone else in the house; someone who is now slowly creeping up the stairs.
This book considers the various ways in which the last major King of Judah has been presented in biblical texts and the subsequent cultures that have made use of the biblical narratives. It is posited that there is no reliable material that can be dated to the time of Josiah and that the literary constructions of Josiah's reign in Kings, Chronicles, and First Esdras already provided the inventive memory of a no longer recoverable monarch's life. Aspects of these narratives are considered as well as the history of Josiah in historiographical renditions of world history and in presenting his story in narrative artistic productions.

Josiah's Reform and the Dynamics of Defilement

Chapters 22 and 23 of 2 Kings tell the story of the religious reforms of the Judean King Josiah, who systematically destroyed the cult places and installations where his own people worshipped in order to purify Israelite religion and consolidate religious authority in the hands of the Jerusalem temple priests. This violent assertion of Israelite identity is portrayed as a pivotal moment in the development of monotheistic Judaism. Monroe argues that the use of cultic and ritual language in the account of the reform is key to understanding the history of the text's composition, and illuminates the essential, interrelated processes of textual growth and identity construction in ancient Israel. Until now, however, none of the scholarship on 2 Kings 22-23 has explicitly addressed the ritual dimensions of the text. By attending to the specific acts of defilement attributed to Josiah as they resonate within the larger framework of Israelite ritual, Monroe's work illuminates aspects of the text's language and fundamental interests that have their closest parallels in the priestly legal corpus known as the Holiness Code (Leviticus 17-26), as well as in other priestly texts that describe methods of eliminating contamination. She argues that these priestly-holiness elements reflect an early literary substratum that was generated close in time to the reign of Josiah, from within the same priestly circles that produced the Holiness Code. The priestly composition was reshaped in the hands of a post-Josianic, exilic or post-exilic Deuteronomistic historian who transformed his source material to suit his own ideological interests. The account of Josiah's reform is thus imprinted with the cultural and religious attitudes of two different sets of authors. Teasing these apart reveals a dialogue on sacred space, sanctified violence and the nature of Israelite religion that was formative in the development not only of 2 Kings 23, but of the historical books of the Bible more broadly.

This new approach to Josiah Royce shows one of American philosophy's brightest minds in action for today's readers. Although Royce was one of the towering figures of American pragmatism, his thought is often considered in the wake of his more famous peers. Jacquelyn Ann K. Kegley brings fresh perspective to Royce's ideas and clarifies his individual philosophical vision. Kegley foregrounds Royce's concern with contemporary public issues and ethics, focusing in particular on how he addresses long-standing problems such as race, religion, community, the dangers of mass media, mass culture, and blatant individualistic capitalism. She offers a deep and fruitful philosophical exploration of Royce's ideas on conflict resolution, memory, self-identity, and self-development. Kegley's keen understanding and appreciation of Royce reintroduces him to a new generation of scholars and students.
