  Violins of Hope - Violins of the...

  The violin has formed an important aspect of Jewish culture for centuries, both as a popular instrument with classical Jewish musicians—Jascha Heifetz, Yehudi Menuhin, Itzhak Perlman—and also a central factor of social life as part of the enduring Klezmer tradition. But during the Holocaust, the violin assumed extraordinary new roles within the Jewish community. For some musicians, the instrument was a liberator; for others, it was a savior that spared their lives. For many, the violin provided comfort in mankind's darkest hour, and, in at least one case, helped avenge murdered family members. Above all, the violins of the Holocaust represented strength and optimism for the future. 
   
   
   
  In Violins of Hope, music historian James A. Grymes tells the amazing, horrifying, and inspiring story of the violins of the Holocaust, and of Amnon Weinstein, the renowned Israeli violinmaker who has devoted the past twenty years to restoring these instruments in tribute to those who were lost, including 400 members of his own family. Juxtaposing tales of individual violins with one man's harrowing struggle to reconcile his own family's history and the history of his people, it is a poignant, affecting, and ultimately uplifting look at the Holocaust and its enduring impact.

  Christopher Columbus and the...

  "Christopher Columbus and the Afrikan Holocaust," by John Henrik Clarke, shatters the hero's-journey narrative surrounding Columbus, exposing him as an architect of exploitation. The book recasts the "discovery" of America as a brutal invasion, paving the way for centuries of Indigenous suffering and laying the groundwork for the African Holocaust – the transatlantic slave trade. 
   
  Clarke argues that neither Indigenous nor African subjugation was incidental. Instead, they were calculated moves fueled by insatiable European greed. The book deconstructs the myth of benevolent colonization, revealing its core as a resource-hungry machine reliant on forced labor and extraction. This system, christened "European capitalism," thrived on the dehumanization and exploitation of entire populations. 
   
  Clarke doesn't merely paint a grim picture; he also illuminates resistance. He highlights the agency of colonized peoples, their unwavering fight for freedom despite unimaginable suffering. This Pan-Africanist perspective weaves together the struggles of both Indigenous and African peoples, demonstrating the interconnectedness of global oppression. 
   
  Beyond historical analysis, the book serves as a potent call to action. Clarke urges readers to confront the legacies of colonialism and slavery, dismantling the very systems that perpetuate inequality. He doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths, demanding critical examination of narratives that continue to shape our understanding of the world. 
   
  This book is not for the faint of heart. It confronts sensitive historical events with unflinching honesty, potentially exposing readers to disturbing descriptions of violence and oppression. Yet, through its unflinching analysis and unwavering call for justice, "Christopher Columbus and the Afrikan Holocaust" offers a crucial roadmap for navigating the complex legacies of the past and building a more equitable future.

  Becoming Free Indeed - My Story...

  Read by the author. 
  New York Times Bestseller on disentangling faith but keep your belief in Jesus intact. Jinger Vuolo, the sixth child in the famous Duggar family of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On, recounts how she began to question the unhealthy ideology of her youth and learned to embrace true freedom in Christ. 
  When Jinger Duggar Vuolo was growing up, she was convinced that obeying the rules was the key to success and God's favor. She zealously promoted the Basic Life Principles of Bill Gothard,fastidiously obeying the modesty guidelines (no shorts or jeans, only dresses),eagerly submitting to the umbrella of authority (any disobedience of parents would place her outside God's protection), promoting the relationship standard of courtship, andavoiding any music with a worldly beat, among others. 
    
  Jinger, along with three of her sisters, wrote a New York Times bestseller about their religious convictions. She believed this level of commitment would guarantee God's blessing, even though in private she felt constant fear that she wasn't measuring up to the high standards demanded of her. 
  In Becoming Free Indeed, Jinger shares how in her early twenties, a new family member—a brother-in-law who didn't grow up in the same tight-knit conservative circle as Jinger—caused her to examine her beliefs. He was committed to the Bible, but he didn't believe many of the things Jinger had always assumed were true. His influence, along with the help of a pastor named Jeremy Vuolo, caused Jinger to see that her life was built on rules, not God's Word. 
  Jinger committed to studying the Bible—truly understanding it—for the first time. What resulted was an earth-shaking realization: much of what she'd always believed about God, obedience to His Word, and personal holiness wasn't in-line with what the Bible teaches. 
  Now with a renewed faith of personal conviction, Becoming Free Indeed shares what it was like living under the tenants of Bill Gothard, the Biblical truth that changed her perspective, and how she disentangled her faith with her belief in Jesus intact.
