  Abraham Lincoln lived during what was likely the darkest hour in America’s history. Though that may seem hard to believe for those of us that are alive today and witnessing the wasting away of the America we love, Antebellum America (as it has been referred to since the Civil War) was an age of great darkness, division, and violence.  
  There are a thousand lessons that emerge out of this challenging time in our great history. But, it’s the spiritual lessons that Eric draws upon for this series. How can we as Christians in a day and age, not altogether that far removed from those Antebellum days, successfully navigate through our own civil derangements and spiritual and moral meltdowns to eternally impact an anti-Christian world for the glory of Jesus Christ? Buckle your spiritual seat belts as we head back to an age when hope seemed lost and the seeds for a great Civil War were beginning to sprout with devilish petals and poisonous thorns. 
  This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Eric Ludy, recorded live in front of an audience. When you purchase this audiobook, it comes with an accompanying PDF of the message notes.

  Producing the Acceptable Sex...

  Producing the Acceptable Sex Worker considers how sex work is produced in news media narratives, a site where much of the general public draws its understanding of the industry in the absence of lived interaction with it. Taking New Zealand as a case study, this book considers an emerging discourse of acceptability for some sex workers, primarily those who do low-volume indoor work. Their acceptability is established in comparison with other kinds of sex workers, resulting in a redistribution but not a reduction of stigma. The conditions attached to acceptability reflect persistent anxieties about sex work: workers who are acceptable must give the impression that the sexual labour of the job is enjoyable and virtually indistinguishable from their personal life, eliding the work involved. Unacceptable workers have existing marginalisations magnified by their association with the industry, with migrant sex workers produced as devious or exploited, and transgender women’s involvement with the industry used to deny them the right to public space. The conditions attached to acceptability reveal how neoliberal discourses of choice, desire, authenticity, and personal responsibility inform the formation of sex work in the public eye.

  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.

  Westover - Giving Girls a Place...

  Westover, a girls' high school in Middlebury, Connecticut, has evolved from a finishing school for the Protestant elite, including F. Scott Fitzgerald's first love, to a meritocracy for pupils of many religions and races from all around the world. The fascinating account of the ups and downs of this female community is the subject of Laurie Lisle's well-researched and beautifully illustrated book. It tells an important story about female education during decades of dramatic social change in America. 
  This school for girls was founded in 1909 by emancipated New Women. The author describes the innovations of the idealistic minister's daughter who founded the school, her intellectual successor who turned it into a college preparatory school in the 1930s, the quiet headmaster who struggled to keep it open during the turbulent 1970s, and the prize-winning mathematics teacher, wife, and mother who then lead the school into a new era.
