  Celestial Promise

  Hayley Ann Solomon

  In this collection of poetry, written over half a lifetime, Hayley Ann Solomon focuses primarily on the pursuit of excellence, immortality achieved through finite life, love in all its forms, and social justice. As it waxes and wanes, the collection cycles through sequences of lyrical ballads, sonnets, elegies, haiku, snippets of nonsensical verse; all blended with a substantial dose of existential philosophy and social comment. 
  The collection covers a full spectrum, from the darkest psycho-social moments, to zeniths of absolute joy. The liberal use of consonance, assonance, alliteration, echoes and half-echoes, rhyme and cross-rhyme make for a style rich in sound-play. This, together with strong metrical awareness – very often iambic or trochaic pentameter and tetrameter – evokes a flow that is quite typically euphonic. There is therefore a sense of lyricism despite a broad diversity of topics and moods. 
  The anthology evolves to become a promise of regeneration, in synchrony with the phases of the moon, from which it takes its celestial title.

  Red Leviathan - The Secret...

  Ryan Tucker Jones

  The Soviet Union killed over six hundred thousand whales in the twentieth century, many of them illegally and secretly. That catch helped bring many whale species to near extinction by the 1970s, and the impacts of this loss of life still ripple through today’s oceans. In this new account, based on formerly secret Soviet archives and interviews with ex-whalers, environmental historian Ryan Tucker Jones offers a complete history of the role the Soviet Union played in the whales' destruction. 
   
   
   
  As other countries—especially the United States, Great Britain, Japan, and Norway—expanded their pursuit of whales to all corners of the globe, Stalin determined that the Soviet Union needed to join the hunt. Cold War intrigue encouraged this destruction, but, as Jones shows, there is a more complex history behind this tragic Soviet experiment. Jones compellingly describes the ultimate scientific irony: today's cetacean studies benefited from Soviet whaling, as Russian scientists on whaling vessels made key breakthroughs in understanding whale natural history and behavior. 
   
   
   
  Red Leviathan reveals how the Soviet public began turning against their country's whaling industry, working in parallel with Western environmental organizations like Greenpeace to help end industrial whaling—not long before the world's whales might have disappeared altogether.

  The Mess of Me: Pain, Rejection, and the Fight to be Whole, is a raw, compassionate memoir about facing the truth we hide—and discovering that in the mess, we are still deeply loved.Joe Atinsky doesn’t offer a sanitized story or a tidy path to healing. Instead, he opens the door to his own lived experience—years of perfectionism, buried shame, spiritual pressure, and the unraveling of everything he thought would save him. But this isn’t a story about falling apart. It’s a story about what begins to grow when the hiding stops.With honesty and gentleness, Joe invites listeners into his journey—not to shock, but to show. To offer a voice for those who may never feel safe to share their pain out loud. Whether you’re walking through faith deconstruction, emotional exhaustion, identity confusion, or the long, quiet work of healing from childhood wounds—this story is here to meet you in your own mess.Through therapy, spiritual honesty, and the grace of real community, Joe finds a way forward. He doesn’t abandon faith—he rebuilds it. Not through performance, but through presence. Not by becoming someone else, but by finally becoming himself.The Mess of Me speaks to the silent parts inside us all. It’s for anyone who’s been told to be perfect, to be strong, to hold it together no matter the cost. And it’s for those ready to begin again—not by fixing what’s broken, but by honoring what’s real.In the mess, we are seen. In the mess, we are loved. In the mess, there is a beginning, a middle, and an end. And in that sacred space, wounded purpose can recover—and the real you can finally begin to live.

  Deconstructing Racism - A Path...

  Barbara Crain Major and Joseph Barndt bring ninety combined years of experience as community organizers, teachers, and anti-racism trainers in community and church settings to this book. In Deconstructing Racism, they propose the deconstruction of racism's roots within systems and institutions that have been created, both structurally and legally, to serve white people. 
   
   
   
  The authors seek to unmask the complexities of racism and the invisible patterns that keep it in place. There is no quick fix, but they believe racism can be deconstructed and undone. In order to do this, they identify and address race-based identity, history, and cultural issues rooted in current systems. 
   
   
   
  Three chapters specifically address societal systems and provide anti-racism strategies for community organizers. Three chapters address racism as rooted in systems in the church and challenge people of faith to seek racial healing through understanding, honest confession, true reconciliation, and reconstructed church institutions. A final chapter outlines a way forward to and through a new era of anti-racist reconstruction. This way forward includes a new anti-racist mission statement, a new model of decision-making power, and new processes for accountability.
