Summary

In "Through Bolshevik Russia," Ethel Snowden offers a vivid and incisive account of her travels through the tumultuous landscape of post-revolutionary Russia. Written in the early 1920s, the narrative is marked by her keen observations and a reflective literary style that deftly intertwines personal anecdotes with broader political commentary. Snowden captures the stark realities of life under Bolshevism, illuminating the struggles and hopes of ordinary citizens against the backdrop of radical socio-political change. Her prose combines a realistic depiction of hardship with an underlying curiosity about the new Soviet order, making the work both a historical document and a personal memoir of her experiences during a critical time in world history. Ethel Snowden, an influential political figure and writer, was deeply engaged in the labor movements and socialist politics of her time, which profoundly influenced her perspectives reflected in this book. Married to a prominent Labour politician, Sydney Snowden, she had access to various political circles and international insight, thus situating her observations within a broader ideological context. Her commitment to social justice and equality also echoes through her writings, providing a unique lens through which to view the changes taking place in Russia. "Through Bolshevik Russia" is recommended for readers interested in the intersection of travel writing and political discourse, as well as those curious about the human dimension of revolutionary change. Snowden's work not only informs but also provokes critical reflection on the ideologies that shaped the 20th century, making it an essential read for historians, students of literature, and anyone fascinated by the complexities of modern political movements.

    A life-changing guide to understanding your brain and how to change it—for good.Break Through the Limits of the Brain explores the neuroscience of sacred, superconscious experience. It offers proven ways to break through the brain’s limits into a life-changing, life-enhancing awareness that is beyond our everyday consciousness; an awareness that is intuitive, creative, energized, joyful, and spirit-filled. Selbie explains how and why the brain’s neural circuits reinforce thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that keep us immersed in limited conscious awareness—and how radical neuroplasticity enables our innate ability to rewire the brain to break through to unlimited superconscious awareness. The book offers many practices: the Hong Sau technique of meditation for deepening concentration, energization exercises for increasing life-force and vitality, methodical introspection techniques for identifying neurally reinforced negative patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior and affirmations for directly rewiring them. These practices will help you bring superconscious awareness into your life that enables, awakens, and supports success, vitality, creativity, health, peace of mind, and lasting, fulfilling happiness.Break Through the Limits of the Brain provides strong scientific support for superconscious awareness; scientific support provided by quantum physics and M-theory for the existence of a subtle, nonlocal reality; a reality in which we exist simultaneously with physical reality; a reality of which we can become aware by breaking through the limits of the brain. The book debunks scientific materialism’s brain-based explanation for consciousness and intelligence—the brain-as-supercomputer model—and explains the view of many prominent and open-minded scientists that an all-pervading intelligent consciousness is not only the source of our own consciousness but also the foundation of reality—an age-old sacred belief shared by saints, sages, mystics, and those who’ve had near-death experiences.Meditation is a central theme of the book—what it is; how to do it; why it works; its physical, mental, and emotional benefits as measured by neuroscientists; and how it rewires the brain for us to experience superconscious awareness and to achieve whatever we put our mind to.

    As the church and as a country, we've often neglected and avoided addressing the impact and ongoing reality of racism. We've been more focused on order than justice, more concerned with social media posturing than solidarity, more committed to judgment than repentance. But God's people are called to more. We need to lead the way to true racial healing, solidarity, and justice.  
     
    Through enlightening history and eye-opening personal stories, Living Undivided will equip and empower you with the biblical, transformative tools you need to move from just hoping and wishing for racial justice to actionable change that makes a difference in your life and the lives of churches, neighborhoods, and cities.

    In "Redesigning Education: A New Paradigm for Success," author Frank "Bud" O'Lery presents a compelling exploration of the challenges facing humanity in the modern era. Drawing parallels to the metaphorical "Four Horsemen of Apocalypse," O'Lery delves into the pressing issues of overcrowding, authoritarianism, greed, and environmental crises. Urging immediate action, he proposes the establishment of Educational Oases as safe havens for humanity, fostering critical thinking, knowledge, and interpersonal skills. The book envisions these Oases as fortresses of enlightenment, safeguarding arts, knowledge, and the best of human values. O'Lery contends that survival in the face of global challenges necessitates a commitment to logic, evidence, and the sanctity of life. Drawing inspiration from the concept of "the shining city on the hill," the author advocates for a new educational paradigm that addresses societal flaws and cultivates a foundation for future generations. "Redesigning Education" serves as both a discussion and a plan of action, providing a roadmap for navigating troubled times and reshaping the future of humanity.

    "Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil" is a book written by William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, an American sociologist, historian, civil rights activist, and writer. The book was first published in 1920 and is a collection of essays, poems, and sketches that reflect on the experiences of African Americans in the United States. 
    The title of the book, "Darkwater," refers to the "veil" that Du Bois believes separates African Americans from white Americans. This veil is a metaphor for the racial divide in American society and the ways in which black people are excluded from full participation in American life. 
    The essays in "Darkwater" cover a wide range of topics, including the history of slavery and the Jim Crow era, the role of religion in African American communities, the relationship between black people and the natural world, and the struggles of black women. The book also includes several personal essays in which Du Bois reflects on his own experiences as a black man in America. 
    "Darkwater" is considered a groundbreaking work in African American literature and is widely regarded as one of Du Bois's most important books. The themes and ideas explored in the book continue to be relevant today and have influenced generations of writers and activists.
