Mark R. Rushdoony

In his Rousas John Rushdoony: A Brief History of the Life and Ministry of My Father, Mark Rushdoony offers an intimate account of one of the most influential—and controversial—Christian thinkers of the 20th century. Rather than a psychological biography or hagiography, this volume chronicles the facts of R. J. Rushdoony’s life, shaped by faith, conviction, and an uncompromising view of Christ’s lordship over all of life. 
From his Armenian roots—his family fleeing genocide—to his pioneering work as a missionary and eventual founding of the Chalcedon Foundation, Rushdoony’s life was marked by controversy, opposition, and quiet perseverance. Drawing from family history, personal memories, and previously unpublished materials—including private journals, photos, and legal transcripts—Mark lays bare not only the theological and cultural battles his father faced, but the personal cost of his commitment to teaching God’s Kingdom.

Jodi and her mother were both diagnosed with breast cancer nearly a decade later, and then Jodi lost her too.
In this searing, candid collection of essays, Jodi illuminates the roles that identity and memory play in preserving those we love. Jodi explores the lives of modern Black women and communities through the prism of her personal experiences. With grace, creativity, and insight, she looks at femininity, family, race, mental illness, grief, healthcare, and faith. Jodi deftly portrays how trauma is inherited, and how the struggle to break a generational curse can last a lifetime.
The Death of a Jaybird is a thoughtful examination of complicated family love, loss, and the liberating power of claiming our stories.
