  At just 13 years old, Darnell Davis took the stand as the key witness in a murder trial that would send his father to prison for life. That moment didn’t just break his family—it fractured his sense of self, setting off years of pain, anger, and isolation. The 7 Wonders of Me is Darnell’s raw and revelatory memoir of what came after: the slow, spiritual excavation of his soul—and the courageous rebuilding of a life once lost to trauma. 
  More than a memoir, this book is a healing companion. Structured around the seven chakras, The 7 Wonders of Me charts Darnell’s path from survival to self-realization—beginning with the root chakra’s call for safety and trust, and culminating in the crown chakra’s invitation to live with purpose and divine connection. Each chapter offers not just gripping personal stories, but also the insights, practices, and breakthroughs that helped him rise. 
  Whether you are walking through your own fire or seeking a deeper connection to who you are, The 7 Wonders of Me is a soul-deep guide back to your light. With equal parts spiritual wisdom and hard-won truth, this is a book for anyone ready to turn their pain into power. 
  Perfect for readers of self-help, memoir, and spiritual growth, The 7 Wonders of Me is a testament to resilience, radical honesty, and the liberating power of self-love.

  “One of the nation’s most prominent civil rights leaders” (Washington Post), a New York Times bestselling author, community organizer, investigative journalist, Ivy League professor, and former head of the NAACP, Ben Jealous draws from a life lived on America’s racial fault line to deliver a series of gripping and lively parables that call on each of us to reconcile, heal, and work fearlessly to make America one nation. 
  Never Forget Our People Were Always Free illuminates for each of us how the path to healing America’s broken heart starts with each of us having the courage to heal our own.The son of parents who had to leave Maryland because their cross-racial marriage was illegal, Ben Jealous’ lively, courageous and empathetic storytelling calls on every American to look past deeply-cut divisions and recognize we are all in the same boat now. Along the way Jealous grapples with hidden American mysteries, including:Why do white men die from suicide more often than black men die from murder?How did racial profiling kill an American president?What happens when a Ku Klux Klansman wrestles with what Jesus actually said? How did Dave Chappelle know the DC Snipers were Black? Why shouldn't the civil rights movement give up on rednecks?When is what we have collectively forgotten about race more important than what we actually know?What do the most indecipherable things our elders say tell us about ourselves? 
   Told as a series of parables, Never Forget Our People Were Always Free features intimate glimpses of political, and faith leaders as different as Jack Kemp, Stacey Abrams, and the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and heroes as unlikely as a retired constable, a female pirate from Madagascar, a long lost Irishman, a death row inmate, and a man with a confederate flag over his heart.

  Curiosity - Farmers Discovering...

  Farming and ranching success comes from the freedom to fail because there is no silver bullet. Curiosity – Farmers Discovering What Works tells journeys farmers make to find solutions that are kinder to the environment, easier on the pocket and bring purpose, pride and confidence to those in the most complex profession there is. Each story has nuggets of inspiration and insight to stimulate observation and logic in farming matters. 
  John's perspectives are associated with the practices and principles of Allan Savory's Holistic Management, which though habits and routines, changes how farmers observe, question and probe for solutions. John teaches this in New Zealand and assists with farmers around the globe as a tutor for Holistic Management International. John draws on similarly minded farmers and experts such as Joel Salatin, Gabe Brown, Allan Nation, Allen Williams, Fred Provenza, Christine Jones, Charles Massy and others offering commercial farmers new directions and insights. 
  Reviews include: 
  …his purposeful “short, sharp” essays are designed for busy people. “Hopefully it’s style will remind you of Allan Nation.” Yes, John King did indeed capture Allan’s wise pithiness. I found myself underlining or circling something in virtually every essay. It’s dense, packed with sensible advice gleaned from dozens of on-farm experiments over numerous decades. Joel Salatin, editor, Stockman Grass Farmer, Missouri, USA 
  This invaluable and important book should be compulsory reading for anyone daring to manage farming landscapes with an eye to contributing to healthier farmscapes and catchments, rural families and their animals, and to a sustainable future. How I wish I could have read and lived in such a book as this when I was a young farmer preparing to make all the mistakes. A farming, social, and environmental gem. Charles Massy, author, Call of the Reed Warbler

  Something Wicked - Why Feminism...

  Ph.D. Carrie Gress

  The culture wars have raged for decades, but with seemingly little success. Christians are losing the cultural battle for family, life, and faith. But why? 
  In this riveting look at the underbelly of feminism, Dr. Carrie Gress lays out why pro-life and pro-family efforts have failed to deliver. Feminism has quietly captured the minds and hearts of women by mimicking aspects of Christianity. Through its own “commandments,” “virtues,” “evangelization,” and even “a sacrament,” feminism has become an exceedingly powerful megachurch. 
  While Christians have targeted the specific products of the feminist ideology, such as abortion and transgenderism, we have missed the bigger picture of how feminism’s shadow church has captured the psyche of Western women. Feminism is all too often perceived, even among Christians, as something virtuous that affords women true equality and freedom. Dr. Gress overturns this misconception, smashing the idol of feminism and exposing its deeply anti-Christian origins. 
  Drawing from history, psychology, philosophy, culture, and common sense, Dr. Gress lays out solutions to how womanhood can be viewed afresh, without feminism’s menace, healing the ever-growing rift between the sexes, reconnecting the essential bond of empathy between mother and child, and restoring God to his rightful place in the hearts of all women.

  Asianism and the Fall of Empire...

  Offering a new global perspective on India's freedom struggle, Asianism and the Fall of Empire identifies the rise of Asianism in the early twentieth century as the origin and primary driving force of the resistance movements that brought down the British Empire.  
  Thoroughly researched and thought-provoking, the book ties together into a single sweeping narrative two contrasting, conflicting forms of anticolonialism: the nonviolent resistance movement under Mahatma Gandhi in South Africa and the militant movement that culminated in the war on British India by the Indian National Army under Bose in alliance with the Japanese army. Asia emerges in this breakthrough retelling not as an inert geographical category, but as a singular agent of change in modern world history. 
  As Asian powers become central to global politics once again in the twenty-first century, Mithi Mukherjee's timely and perceptive book traces India's historical relations with its neighbours and presents a strong case for transnational solidarities against ethnonationalist discourses.
