At a crossroads, she took her recovery into her own hands.On this journey, Brittany discovered science that explains how and why trauma lives in our bodies, not in the story of what happened to us.

Through a series of interviews with a wide range of people connected to Pink Floyd in their earliest days (including Nick Mason, Peter Jenner, Jenny Fabian, Storm Thorgerson, Duggie Fields and Peter Whitehead), John Cavanagh paints a vivid picture of how this remarkable debut album was created. He brings to life the stories behind each track, as well as Pink Floyd's groundbreaking live performances of the time. EXCERPTThe Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a wondrous creation often seen through the distorted view of later events. These things have served to overshadow the achievement of The Pink Floyd on their debut album: an outstanding group performance; a milestone in record production; and something made in much happier circumstances than I had expected to find...This is not another book about "mad Syd". This, instead, is a celebration of a moment when everything seemed possible, when creative worlds and forces converged, when an album spoke with an entirely new voice. "Such music I never dreamed of," as Rat said to Mole.

Nu kommer "Kasta inte bort ditt liv på svenska" – boken sålde i en halv miljon ex redan samma år den publicerades. Många har inspirerats av den, bl a artisten Steven Curtis Chapman: ”Jag har alltid sagt och vetat att livet inte handlar om mig, men genom John Piper var det som om Gud slängde en stor hink av kallt, förlossande vatten i mitt ansikte och sa: ’Vakna upp. Detta är vad livet faktiskt handlar om.’” Boken handlar om drivkraften till lärjungaskap, glädjen i att leva till Guds ära och att följa Jesus, och författaren säger att han riktar sig till dig som är student eller pensionär – och alla däremellan. John Piper skriver utmanade om att följa Jesus fullt ut i vår tid, och om risken att på olika sätt förlora sitt liv, när Jesus kallar oss att riskera allt för att vinna livet i honom. Ett mycket viktigt budskap till mig och oss alla i svensk kristenhet i dag - läs den och ta riktning! Martin Ström, missionsledare OM Sverige I en tid då många ser självförverkligande som sitt främsta mål proklamerar Piper att bara den som förlorar sitt eget liv för Jesu skull kan finna det. Kasta inte bort ditt liv rekommenderas varmt till varje människa som funnit eller vill finna den skatt som är värd allting annat. Magnus Olsson, entreprenör med engagemang för mission i Sverige John Piper var under mer än 30 år pastor i Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis Minnesota, en ursprungligen svensk församling grundad av svenska emigranter på 1800-talet. Han är författare till ett stort antal böcker och en uppskattad talare – inte minst bland unga vuxna.
