  In “Tough Mind, Tender Heart: Reflections on a Black Woman’s Activist Journey,” Sandra Barnhill shares her four-decade journey as a frontline activist, offering a candid and personal reflection on the challenges and rewards of working for social change. This book is not a blueprint but a testament to the resilience required to fight for justice, especially in the “deep end,” where victories are few and struggles are many. 
  Barnhill, a Black woman in a predominantly white, male-dominated sector, details the discrimination she faced and the strategies she used to overcome it while building and sustaining a nonprofit organization rooted in Afrocentric, womanist, and community-focused principles. She challenges the myths about activism, emphasizing the importance of transparency, honesty, and a commitment to long-term change. 
  The book encourages readers to engage in activism at any level, whether full-time or part-time and highlights the urgent need for diverse voices in the fight for justice. As Barnhill reflects on the current political landscape and the stakes of the 2024 presidential election, she calls on readers to take action, offering hope and inspiration for those who want to make a difference.

  Mother of Invention - Mother...

  There is nothing conventional about the life and religious journey of Grace Costin. After a family tragedy caused her to reject God, she began on the long path back to faith through pioneering social work, a solo journey across the United States and a brief interlude as one of the first women police officers. Following a fleeting ministry as Sister Teresa in the Order of St Anne, she met the charismatic priest Bernard Walke, with whom she formed a loving but combative working partnership before experiencing a calling to create a religious Order unlike any that had existed before. Her quest took her from remote parishes in Cornwall to the slums of Paisley, an inner-city parish in 1930s London and the Isle of Wight until finally she found what she was searching for in the personal ads of the Daily Telegraph—a “Typical Thatched Devon farmhouse”.
  
   
  And so in the middle of the Second World War, aged 54 with a heart condition and no money, she set out to transform the run-down house in a remote corner of Devon into the Community she had dreamed of for so long. With the help of a series of remarkable women she had attracted along the way, she created Posbury St Francis—a community, not a convent, with sisters, not nuns, and a Mother, but not a Mother Superior.
  
   
  Mother of Invention is the story of how a woman, the daughter of a bigamous marriage, with no money, connections or academic background, founded her own religious Order which, at its height, was visited by over 2,000 people a year.

  Abraham - The First Jew

  The story of Abraham, the first Jew, portrayed as two lives lived by one person, paralleling the contradictions in Judaism throughout its history 
   
   
    
  In this new biography of Abraham, Judaism's foundational figure, Anthony Julius offers an account of the origins of a fundamental struggle within Judaism between skepticism and faith, critique and affirmation, thinking for oneself and thinking under the direction of another. Julius describes Abraham's life as two separate lives, and as a version of the collective life of the Jewish people. 
   
   
    
  Abraham's first life is an early adulthood of questioning the polytheism of his home city of Ur Kasdim until its ruler, Nimrod, condemns him to death and he is rescued, he believes, by a miracle. In his second life, Abraham's focus is no longer on critique but rather on conversion and on his leadership over his growing household, until God's command that he sacrifice his son Isaac. This test, the Akedah (or "Binding"), ends with another miracle, as he believes, but as Julius argues, it is also a catastrophe for Abraham. The Akedah represents for him an unsurpassed horizon—and in Jewish life thereafter. This book focuses on Abraham as leader of the first Jewish project, Judaism, and the unresolvable, insurmountable crisis that the Akedah represents—both in his leadership and in Judaism itself.
