  Why did Japanese soldiers fight with such ferocious determination in the Pacific War? Why did they choose death over surrender, even when defeat was inevitable? 
  Honorable Death explores the powerful cultural, military, and psychological forces that drove Japanese soldiers to embrace gyokusai—fighting to the last man. From the Bushido warrior code to the brutal realities of Imperial Japanese Army indoctrination, this book reveals how ordinary men were transformed into soldiers who viewed death in battle as the ultimate honor. 
  Drawing on firsthand accounts, military records, and cultural analysis, author Daniel Wrinn examines the infamous banzai charges, kamikaze attacks, and last stands that defined the Pacific Theater. Discover how shame, loyalty, and the warrior ethos created an enemy unlike any the Allies had faced before. 
  Perfect for World War II history enthusiasts and anyone seeking to understand the Japanese military mindset that shaped the Pacific War's brutal campaigns from Guadalcanal to Okinawa.

  Noli Me Tangere is a landmark novel in Philippine literature and a foundational work of political fiction. Written by national hero José Rizal, it exposes the corruption, abuse, and oppression endured by Filipinos under Spanish colonial rule and the Catholic clergy. The story follows Crisóstomo Ibarra, a young Filipino who returns from Europe intent on reforming society through education and progress, only to face betrayal, injustice, and the ruthless power of the friars. Blending romance, realism, and revolutionary critique, Rizal’s novel ignited nationalist sentiment and laid the intellectual groundwork for the Philippine Revolution. A powerful indictment of colonial tyranny, Noli Me Tangere remains a testament to the struggle for freedom, justice, and national identity.

  Defying Tyrants - Following...

  Matthew D. Taylor

  Christian fixation with political power is the theological emergency of our time, and in Defying Tyrants, Matthew D. Taylor traces the origins of Christian supremacy. Jesus directed his followers away from the race for power, but somewhere along the way, many Christians turned Jesus into a mascot for imperial domination. Where did it all go so wrong? 
  A trenchant reckoning with the murder, mayhem, and monsters of Christianity—from the early church and the Crusades to colonialism, slavery, and the Holocaust—Defying Tyrants demonstrates how imperialism has infected the body of Christ. With cogent argument and moral precision, Taylor excavates scriptural texts and unpacks the notion of Christian antichrists. When the term antichrist occurs in the Bible, it's frequently plural—not "The Antichrist" who populated the nightmares of fundamentalism's young people. Antichrists originate within the church and abuse people in the name of Christ. Christian antichrists justify harm and vengeance theologically, pointing people away from the God who entered humanity as a colonized peasant in the hinterlands of the Roman empire. 
  Both searing polemic and lyrical meditation, Defying Tyrants challenges us to put steel in the spine of Christian resistance to tyrants and reprimands the Christian leaders who bless them. It also spotlights a countertradition of Christians who have lived generous lives of sacrifice and stood up to authoritarians through the centuries. The gospel of Jesus pulls the rug out from under all human hierarchies, Taylor argues. In this brilliantly conceived and scrappy quarrel with Christian supremacy, he calls us to find in the teachings of Jesus and the witness of the early church a model of rebellion against tyrants. Because if Jesus is Lord, Caesar isn't.

  As the church and as a country, we've often neglected and avoided addressing the impact and ongoing reality of racism.

We need to lead the way to true racial healing, solidarity, and justice. 
   
   
   
  Through enlightening history and eye-opening personal stories, Living Undivided will equip and empower you with the biblical, transformative tools you need to move from just hoping and wishing for racial justice to actionable change that makes a difference in your life and the lives of churches, neighborhoods, and cities.

  Some things crumble under pressure. Others are tempered by it instead. For three former soldiers, a tragedy might be the catalyst that binds them together—stronger than ever. Richard Horn and Timothy Davenport met in the SEALs twenty years ago and have been lovers ever since. Now running their own paramilitary organization, Strike Force Omega, they work in the shadows to protect their country and its people. When Tim falls for Eric Newton, a deadly sniper and strategist on their team, Richard accepts that Tim's heart is big enough for two men. He respects, admires, and even desires Eric enough to accept him into their relationship—and their bed—but he's never been fully a part of what Eric and Tim share. Then Eric is captured by terrorists and Tim is gravely injured in an op gone wrong, bringing Richard's world crashing down around his ears. Even if he gets his men out alive, Eric must face the aftermath of months of physical and psychological torture—and without Tim to lean on, Eric's PTSD is tearing him apart. Richard has to figure out the third leg of their triangle fast, or Tim won't have a life to come back to.
