  Tao Te Ching by Laozi is one of the most profound and influential works of philosophy ever written. Composed more than two thousand years ago in ancient China, this timeless text forms the foundation of Taoist thought and continues to inspire readers with its wisdom on harmony, balance, leadership, and the nature of existence.
  
  Written in a series of brief yet powerful verses, the Tao Te Ching explores the concept of the Tao, often translated as "the Way." The Tao represents the fundamental principle underlying the universe—the natural order that flows through all things. Rather than striving to control life, Laozi encourages readers to observe, understand, and align themselves with this universal rhythm.
  
  Through poetic reflections and paradoxical insights, the text teaches the value of humility, simplicity, and inner stillness. Laozi challenges the pursuit of excessive power, wealth, and ambition, suggesting that true strength arises from gentleness, patience, and balance. In this philosophy, softness overcomes hardness, quietness overcomes force, and wisdom emerges from embracing the natural course of life.
  
  The book also offers profound guidance on leadership and governance. Laozi proposes that the best leaders rule with restraint and humility, allowing people to live in harmony without unnecessary interference. By practicing wu wei, often understood as "effortless action" or acting without force, individuals and societies can achieve peace and stability.
  
  Despite its brevity, the Tao Te Ching is rich with meaning and open to many interpretations. Its verses invite contemplation rather than rigid explanation, encouraging readers to reflect on their relationship with the world and their place within it.
  
  For centuries, the teachings of Laozi have shaped philosophy, spirituality, and culture throughout East Asia and beyond. Today, the Tao Te Ching continues to resonate with readers seeking wisdom on living with clarity, compassion, and harmony.
  
  Elegant, mysterious, and deeply insightful, Tao Te Ching remains a timeless guide to understanding the subtle forces that shape life and the quiet path toward inner peace.

  "It's long been assumed of the region where my grandmother was born . . . that at some point each year the dead will come home," Inara Verzemnieks writes in this exquisite story of war, exile, and reconnection. Her grandmother's stories recalled one true home: the family farm left behind in Latvia, where, during WWII, her grandmother Livija and her grandmother's sister, Ausma, were separated. They would not see each other again for more than fifty years. Raised by her grandparents in Washington State, Inara grew up among expatriates, scattering smuggled Latvian sand over the coffins of the dead, singing folk songs about a land she had never visited. 
   
   
   
  When Inara discovers the scarf Livija wore when she left home, in a box of her grandmother's belongings, this tangible remnant of the past points the way back to the remote village where her family broke apart. There it is said the suspend their exile once a year for a pilgrimage through forests and fields to the homes they left behind. Coming to know Ausma and the trauma of her exile to Siberia under Stalin, Inara pieces together Livija's survival through years as a refugee. Weaving these two parts of the family story together in spellbinding, lyrical prose, she gives us a profound and cathartic account of loss, survival, resilience, and love.

  The Two-Parent Privilege - How...

  In The Two-Parent Privilege, Melissa S. Kearney makes a data-driven case for marriage by showing how the institution's decline has led to a host of economic woes—problems that have fractured American society and rendered vulnerable populations even more vulnerable. Eschewing the religious and values-based arguments that have long dominated this conversation, Kearney shows how the greatest impacts of marriage are, in fact, economic: when two adults marry, their economic and household lives improve, offering a host of benefits not only for the married adults but for their children. Studies show that these effects are today starker, and more unevenly distributed, than ever before. Kearney examines the underlying causes of the marriage decline in the US and draws lessons for how this trend can be reversed. 
   
   
   
  Kearney's research shows that a household that includes two married parents functions as an economic vehicle that advantages some children over others. For many, the two-parent home may be an old-fashioned symbol of the American dream. But this book makes it clear that marriage may be our best path to a more equitable future. By confronting the critical role that family makeup plays in shaping children's futures, Kearney offers a critical assessment of what a decline in marriage means for an economy and a society—and what we must do to change course.

  What does it mean to love our country? 
   
   
   
  Some Christians see loyalty to America as central to our faith and identity. Other Christians are skeptical that our nation warrants such devotion or attachment. But Richard Mouw encourages Christians to have a healthy sense of national peoplehood that promotes civic kinship and responsible citizenship. He navigates between Christian nationalism on one hand and cynicism about country on the other to avoid the perils of both idolatry and disengagement. 
   
   
   
  Mouw grapples with sticky questions such as how to honor national holidays in church and the place of protests in forging a more perfect union. Placing love of country in the context of Christian love of neighbor, he sees patriotism as an expression of our heavenly citizenship and a call to help our country be a place where all people can thrive in peace. 
   
   
   
  Mouw's winsome and wise reflections direct our patriotic affections toward the civic good of others within our churches and in our communities. This guide helps us travel together on a shared national journey toward liberty and justice for all.
