  There aren’t a lot of places or people in this world that are here to help men. There’s a group called the National Organization for Women but no National Organization for Men. You can get a degree in Women’s Studies, but the hairy pitted, non-binary, pronoun police professors do not also offer a degree in Men’s Studies. There’s no class on how to be a man. The strip club will take your money and put your hepatitis shot to work. The sports bar will feed you wings, pour you a beer, and let you yell but doesn’t have a lot of wisdom to offer. Most churches are run by men who might die if shot with a Nerf gun. But who is there to help? That’s the goal of this book.

  "Looking Through Stained Glass Windows" by Cecilia Oliver Jones takes a critical look at instances where the Church falls short of its benevolent mission. Jones explores the dark side of some religious leaders who exploit their followers, turning a place of solace into a domain of control and manipulation. She sheds light on the characteristics of cult leaders who hide behind charismatic personas while ruthlessly preying on the vulnerable, leading to spiritual, financial, and emotional devastation. "Looking Through Stained Glass Windows" emphasizes the importance of individual autonomy and personal interpretation of faith. Jones reminds us that religious leaders should not be elevated to the status of gods, and followers must be encouraged to think for themselves and make decisions free from fear or shame. The book encourages readers to embrace the freedom of choice and recognize the inherent right to exercise free will granted by a higher power. Cecilia Oliver Jones's work is a compelling exploration of the delicate balance between faith and manipulation within religious institutions. "Looking Through Stained Glass Windows" is a powerful call to scrutinize the leaders we follow and reclaim our own agency, reminding us that true spirituality is not about control but personal growth, compassion, and understanding. This book challenges us to look past the illusions and question the motives of those who wield power within our religious communities, ultimately advocating for a faith that liberates and heals rather than entraps and wounds.

  Special Grace - Prayers and...

  The world of special needs is filled with statistics: in the United States, about 17 percent of children have a diagnosed developmental disability, and 14 percent of public school students receive special education services.
  But behind these statistics are stories—stories of children struggling to fit into a world that wasn't designed for them, and stories of parents giving everything they have to advocate for their children. Most of these parents didn't choose this path; they were thrust upon it unknowing, unprepared, and often overwhelmed. They may struggle to talk about their experiences in relatable ways with family, friends, and even God.
  Special Grace is a collection of 127 prayers for all aspects of life for families with special needs. Here are prayers for family life, school, and church; prayers for an initial diagnosis, for the first day of school, and for celebrating a milestone. Each section is set off by a reflective essay from Evans's own family life. Filled with humor and wisdom, these prayers and reflections will help families process their experiences together and offer them to God with hope and simple trust.
  In moments when the cries of your heart leave you speechless, Special Grace provides words you can bring before your Father in heaven.
