  Richard Wurmbrand (March 24, 1909 - February 17, 2001) was a Romanian Christian minister of Jewish descent. He was a youth during a time of anti-Semitic activity in Romania, but it was later, after becoming a believer in Jesus Christ as Messiah, and daring to publicly say that Communism and Christianity were not compatible, that he experienced imprisonment and torture for his beliefs. After serving five years of a second prison sentence, he was ransomed for $10,000. After spending time in Norway and England, he and his wife Sabina, who had also been imprisoned, emigrated to America and dedicated the rest of their lives to publicizing and helping Christians who are persecuted for their beliefs. He wrote more than eighteen books, translated into more than 60 languages, the most widely known being "Tortured for Christ." He founded the international organization, Voice Of The Martyrs, which aids Christians around the world who are persecuted for their faith.

  My America - Langston Hughes on...

  Best known as the leader of the Harlem Renaissance, the celebrated poet and writer Langston Hughes believed in the power of art as resistance. What can we learn from his works today? 
    
  Randal M. Jelks delivers this revelatory portrait of the celebrated poet, essayist, playwright, and American artist Langston Hughes. My America traces Hughes's journey from a child captivated by the wonder of Kansas City to cosmopolitan witness in Paris, New York, Mexico City, and Madrid. We encounter Hughes as a young man discovering the pulse of modern life in a world on the verge of exploding metaphorically and literally. His experiences informed his work and his thinking on art, democracy, and activism. 
    
  Langston Hughes is one of the few American writers who consistently wrote about democracy from a joyous perspective, and My America explores how his works speak to the political anxieties and crises we face today. Jelks deftly examines the themes in Hughes's work, including creative expression, communal dignity, class struggle, and human suffering and what they mean for our inner well-being as democratic persons and political participants. 
    
  With care and no-holds-barred insight, My America removes the veneer of respectability often placed on Hughes's work and life to reveal his political adeptness. In a world threatened by fascism, Hughes's writing wasn't afforded the luxury of subtlety. He made a spiritual and political decision to stand on the side of the oppressed. He believed art should be practiced for the sake of justice. And democracy can be practiced with joy. 
    
  "Jelks offers readers an engaging, introspective view of poet Langston Hughes and curates a compelling narrative of Hughes as an activist, advocate, and champion of justice through his poetry. This spellbinding review of Langston's writings employs an invisible cinematic lens through which Jelks reveals Langston's life journey from childhood to adult, from the United States to Europe, describing his radical attempts to share his vision of living in a democracy. … A thought-provoking, enlightening read."—Library Journal

  Insatiably Mine - About...

  Harald Vestgöte Kirsebom

  This is a book about the type of people who survive through destroying other people. 
  According to the author, we all do our best to make our way through life, and we are all forced to make sense of our own lives. In that respect, there is only one type of human being. You see, none of us really knows why we were born, and the people who have raised us, such as parents and teachers, are equally oblivious. 
  Getting through life involves a lot of pain and in our life journey, we will experience various kinds of pain. The pain has different origins, but it mainly has to do with fear and feelings of separation and isolation. 
  Some people have experienced these emotions to the degree that they have learnt to get through life by sucking the life force out of others; insatiably. The author shares his understanding of the destructive behaviour that comes along with these people. To do this in a balanced manner, the author moves between different vantage points; the emphatic, the accepting and the brutal. 
  This might sound strange, but even the most horrible tyrants are tyrants because they deep down crave to be loved. Reading this book is enlightening for every searching human being. The book can be read for self-development and personal growth, and it can be read to understand more about your own encounters with destructive people. It can help you understand interactions in family situations, childcare, work situations, politics and community life.

  The Life of Philopoemen is one of the many lives described in Plutarch’s famous Parallel Lives. Philopoemen, whose father died when he was very young, was adopted by a notable Megalopolan figurehead and studied under the local Greek philosophers. Not only was he smart, but he went on to advise and help defend Greece from Cleomenes III and the many people attempting to gain control of the powerful empire. But as Sparta began to rise in his later years, his political actions became more and more risky – which ultimately lead to his demise.
