Sinopsis

Christianity Today Book Awards Finalist—Politics and Public Life
How can Christians live as citizens of God's kingdom while also fulfilling their responsibilities as citizens of political communities? David Koyzis, author of Political Visions and Illusions, offers a brief, practical guide on political engagement and citizenship.
During numerous conversations with students and readers of his books in Canada, the United States, Brazil, Chile, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere, Koyzis has heard the same questions repeated. Can Christians participate in the public square without buying in to political illusions—ideologies that become idolatrous? Is it better to avoid politics than risk ethical compromise or division among believers? In Citizenship Without Illusions, Koyzis presents a case for political engagement as a way to love our neighbors that doesn't require our full devotion to parties or ideologies. He explores key topics such as:

- the responsibilities of citizens
- how to vote
- mobilizing for political action
- citizenship under less-than-ideal circumstances
- the importance of both local and global engagement
- the role of the church in society
Using examples from various eras and places, Koyzis guides readers to make the best of their own political situations, make thoughtful decisions, and promote societal diversity while respecting those who disagree. With clear understanding and confidence in their ultimate allegiance, Christians can employ their citizenship for the greater good.

    The Disappearance of Jack O'Sullivan 
    In the early hours of March 1st, 2024, Jack O'Sullivan—a recent Exeter University graduate—vanished without a trace. A promising young law student on the cusp of a bright future, Jack’s sudden disappearance in the heart of Bristol shocked his family, friends, and the entire community. 
    The search for Jack becomes a harrowing journey of hope, heartache, and unanswered questions. As his mother, Catherine, relentlessly pushes forward, the investigation unravels new clues, disturbing theories, and an unnerving silence that grows harder to bear with each passing day. With law enforcement struggling to piece together the fragments of Jack’s final moments, his family is forced to take matters into their own hands, confronting not only the unknown but also a network of misinformation and desperate attempts to derail the truth. 
    The Disappearance of Jack O'Sullivan is an emotional and gripping true story of a family’s pursuit of justice, their fight against a flawed system, and the power of community in the face of unimaginable loss. Will Jack’s story have the closure they seek—or is the truth something they’ll never find? 
    Listen, as the mystery unfolds and the relentless search for answers keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

    What Are Your Solutions to Life's Questions? 
    Here, you will find 365 questions designed to open up your mind to think about yourself and your place in the world in new ways. With these questions, you may come to powerful realizations that will help you to improve yourself, the people around you, and maybe even the world. 
    Most self-development books present you with solutions to common problems. This can be helpful, but what if those solutions work for most people, but not you? Perhaps what you need is a book of questions to help stimulate you to find useful solutions for your unique situation. Maybe you always had the solutions deep down somewhere inside of you, and you just needed the right questions to help guide you to them. 
    When you do the work of pursuing your answers to these Questions, you will be rewarded with a breakthrough in understanding your life, your place in the world, and the path that you were destined for. Understand that there is no single right answer, no one perspective that is right, there is only your personal truth that you must reveal to yourself. 
    Authors Dave Edelstein (A.B., Philosophy from Harvard University) and I. C. Robledo (M.S., Industrial-Organizational Psychology from University of Oklahoma) combine their expertise in philosophy, psychology, and self-development to provide you with questions which were designed to help you help yourself. The authors believe there is enormous potential in seeking the answers within, rather than always seeking them from sources outside of yourself.

    In an era where the dissemination of knowledge is both an ethical imperative and a contested space, Current Trends in Open Science offers a critical examination of the evolving landscape of academic publishing. Edited by Nicola Cavalli, this volume brings together leading voices to explore the promises and challenges of Open Science, from the transformative potential of Diamond Open Access to the structural reforms necessary for a more equitable and transparent research ecosystem.
    Through rigorous analysis, contributors dissect the tensions between commercial publishing interests and the scholarly community's push for greater autonomy, shedding light on policy frameworks, infrastructure needs, and cultural shifts required for meaningful change. Whether interrogating Italy's stalled progress on Open Science or advocating for a publishing model driven by academic values rather than profit motives, this book is an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, and advocates committed to the future of knowledge as a public good.
