  This illuminating book offers an extensive, expert analysis of a school system that bears the legacy, hallmarks, and consequences that lie at the intersection of race and education. Urban education scholar Camika Royal deftly analyzes decades of efforts aimed at improving school performance within the School District of Philadelphia (SDP), in a brisk survey spanning every SDP superintendency from the 1960s through 2017. 
   
   
   
  Royal interrogates the history of education and educational reforms, recounting city, state, and federal interventions. Her survey provides sociopolitical context and rich groundwork for a nuanced examination of why many large urban districts struggle to implement reforms with fidelity and in ways that advance Black students academically and holistically. 
   
   
   
  In a bracing critique, Royal bears witness to the ways in which positive public school reform has been obstructed: through racism and racial capitalism, but also via liberal ideals, neoliberal practices, and austerity tactics. 
   
   
   
  Not Paved for Us highlights the experiences of Black educators as they navigate the racial and cultural politics of urban school reform.

  The audiobook version of "Enduring Art, Active Faith - 3 Generations Create!" , recorded by Robert G. Proudfoot in April 2023 through Audivita, is an abridged version of the print book by the same name, which was previously published by Robert G. Proudfoot in February 2019 through FriesenPress Inc. The audiobook is comprised of two fictional short stories taken from the print book: "The Guard", and "Half and Half", written originally by Robert G. Proudfoot and Norma Proudfoot, respectively.  
       "The Guard" tells of an unlikely friendship that develops between an expatriate English schoolboy (James Greenburgh) and an African night watchman (Winter Banda), hired to guard the Greenburgh's home in Lusaka, Zambia while James' diplomat father is away in Great Britain, negotiating with Rhodesian and British Governments and black nationalist groups, towards transition to African majority rule for the break-away British colony during the turbulent early 1970s. In "Half and Half", an aging military veteran re-examines the satisfying life he has gained despite difficulties experienced - even with ongoing poverty,  want, and conflict in the world - after he encounters a little boy during the Christmas season in a busy Edmonton shopping mall, who despite so young is coping with disappointments and seeking answers for life's complexities.

  God Is in the Details (and So Is Thomas Aquinas): How to Weaponize Aristotle for the Church and Still Be Canonized 
  Ever wanted to read 3,000 pages of systematic theology written by a man who thought angel transportation was a valid academic subject? No? Great—this book is for you. 
  This is not a polite introduction to Thomas Aquinas. This is a fully sarcastic, gloriously disrespectful roast of the chubbiest, holiest overachiever in Catholic history—a Dominican friar who took Aristotle’s metaphysics, added Latin, guilt, and divine purpose, and built the intellectual operating system of the Catholic Church. 
  Inside, you’ll find: 
  A breakdown of Aquinas’ Five Ways to Prove God Exists (spoiler: it's always God) 
  An introduction to natural law, also known as “why everything you enjoy is probably a sin” 
  His obsession with angel hierarchies, because theology needed a Pokémon-style ranking system 
  The Summa Theologica, or what happens when you try to explain God using spreadsheet logic and footnote warfare 
  Why Aquinas is still being cited in modern debates about abortion, bioethics, transubstantiation, and leggings 
  From his flaming-stick celibacy defense to the fact that he nearly out-argued Augustine with a smile, Aquinas is the blueprint for theological overachievement—and this book is the spiritual field guide you didn’t know you needed. 
  Perfect for: 
  Recovering theology majors 
  Catholic guilt survivors 
  Philosophy nerds who love a good roast 
  Anyone trying to understand how Aquinas still dominates moral debates despite being very, very dead 
  Come for the metaphysics, stay for the footnote-based moral mic drops. 
  Thomas Aquinas: he came, he theologized, he canonized himself through sheer force of logic.
