  In The Missing Peace, podcaster and thought leader Tim Ross introduces a stunning perspective on the peace Jesus left us to help us regulate our bodies and emotions as we break free of temporary happiness and walk toward freedom. 
  Are you okay? Have you tried everything you can think of to get to a place where you feel better, happier? Maybe you've reached for temporary fixes like retail therapy, or playing video games, or finding a spouse or a house in the right zip code, or even prayer and listening to worship music. But nothing seems to work, at least not long term. You don't know what's wrong, but you know you're not okay. You feel exhausted, overloaded, and frustrated. Is this just how life is? 
  Tim Ross, host of the popular podcast The Basement, offers hope and an eye-opening perspective on the peace Jesus left us and how it can help us regulate our bodies and our emotions, regardless of what is happening around us. Ross's stirring message reminds readers thatsilence isn't golden--giving voice to the soul opens the way to recovery,secrets keep us trapped--we can't heal what we don't reveal,romanticizing pain holds us back--facing it head-on moves us toward healing, andJesus saved us not to survive but to thrive--we don't need to settle for just getting by. 
    
  With a depth of pastoral experience and a winsomeness that resonates, Ross helps readers break free from silent suffering and the insatiable search for happiness by learning how to be truly okay in life's challenges and walk toward the peace and the freedom God created them to enjoy.

  Toni Morrison's Spiritual Vision...

  When Toni Morrison died in August 2019, she was widely remembered for her contributions to literature as an African American woman, an identity she wore proudly. Morrison was clear that she wrote from a Black, female perspective and for others who shared her identity. But just as much as she was an African American writer, Toni Morrison was a woman of faith. 
   
   
   
  Morrison filled her novels with biblical allusions, magic, folktales, and liberated women, largely because Christianity, African American folk magic, and powerful women defined her own life. Her relatives, particularly her mother, were good storytellers, and her family's oral tradition included ghost stories and African American folktales. But her family was also Christian. As a child, Morrison converted to Catholicism and chose a baptismal name that truly became her own—Anthony, from St. Anthony of Padua—going from Chloe to Toni. Morrison embraced both Catholicism and the occult as a child and, later, as a writer. She was deeply religious, and her spirituality included the Bible, the paranormal, and the folktales she heard as a child. 
   
   
   
  Toni Morrison's Spiritual Vision unpacks this oft-ignored, but essential, element of Toni Morrison's work—her religion—and in so doing, gives listeners a deeper, richer understanding of her life and her writing.

  In this, his premiere work, Cornel West challenges African Americans to consider the incorporation of Marxism into their theological perspectives, thereby adopting the mindset that it is class more so than race that renders one powerless in America. His work reflects political and cultural perspectives borne out of his own formative life experiences. Decades later, his arguments continue to capture the theological imagination of many and influence the critical engagement of generations of scholars. 
   
   
   
  In this fortieth anniversary edition, West invites six prominent scholars—whose respective work are grounded in various aspects of black political, cultural, and theological thought—into dialogue with this work, each writing one chapter plus a foreword by Jonathan Lee Walton. Continuing and expanding on the revolutionary discourses that West introduced in the first published work, each new essay provides nuanced lens for thinking about movements of liberation in today's African American communities.

  Since the first day after the tragedy was announced, controversy has surrounded the death of rap and cultural icon Tupac Shakur. In this work, preeminent researcher on the topic, John Potash, puts forward his own theories of the events leading up to and following the murder in this meticulously researched and exhaustive account of the story. Never before has there been such a detailed and shocking analysis of the untimely death of one of the greatest musicians of the modern era. The FBI War on Tupac Shakur contains a wealth of names, dates, and events detailing the use of unscrupulous tactics by the Federal Bureau of Investigation against a generation of leftist political leaders and musicians. Based on twelve years of research and including extensive footnotes, sources include over 100 interviews, FOIA-released CIA and FBI documents, court transcripts, and mainstream media outlets. Beginning with the birth of the Civil Rights Movement in America, Potash illustrates the ways in which the FBI and the United States government conspired to take down and dismantle the various burgeoning activist and revolutionary groups forming at the time. From Martin Luther King Jr. to Malcolm X to Fred Hampton, the methods used to thwart their progress can be seen repeated again and again in the 80s and 90s against later revolutionary groups, musicians, and, most notably, Tupac Shakur. Buckle up for this winding, shocking, and unbelievable tale as John Potash reveals the dark underbelly of our government and their treatment of some of our most beloved Black icons.
