  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In 1596, the Carvajal family was executed by the Inquisition in New Spain. Their names were nearly erased from history. 
   
  Nearly. 
   
  When Sarah, a young curator at a Texas museum, begins unraveling the hidden history of a prominent family's colonial past, she expects to find documents. What she finds instead is something older — a presence that refuses to remain silent, a story that has been waiting centuries for someone willing to look. 
   
  Moving between the archives of the present and the fires of the past, The Hidden Flame is a novel about what survives when systems try to erase people. About the faith carried in secret, the names hidden in margins, and the stubborn persistence of memory across generations. 
   
  Some histories refuse to disappear. 
  Some flames cannot be extinguished. 
   
  Based on the documented history of the Carvajal family — the only family executed by the Inquisition in the Americas.

  Christian Philosophy as a Way of...

  Ross D. Inman

  Philosophy is often seen as anything but practically relevant to everyday life. In this brief, accessible introduction, Ross Inman explores four hidden assumptions that lurk behind questions involving philosophy's relevance. He shows that philosophy is one of most practical subjects of study, for it satisfies our deep human need to make sense of it all. 
   
  This book recovers a more classical vision of Christian philosophy as an entire way of life. Inman shows that wonder is the distinctively human posture that drives and sustains the examined life and makes a compelling case that philosophy is valuable, practical, and significant for every aspect of Christian life and ministry. Living philosophically as a Christian enables us to be properly attuned to what is true and good in Christ and to orient our lives to the highest goals worth pursuing. 
   
  This is an ideal introductory book for students of philosophy, Christian thought, and worldview studies. It will also work well in classical school, high school, and homeschool contexts.

  Breaking the Gender Code - Women...

  Georgina Hickey

  • 0

  From the closing years of the nineteenth century, women received subtle—and not so subtle—messages that they shouldn't be in public. Or, if they were, that they were not safe. Breaking the Gender Code tells the story of both this danger narrative and the resistance to it. 
   
   
   
  Historian Georgina Hickey investigates challenges to the code of urban gender segregation in the twentieth century, focusing on organized advocacy to make the public spaces of American cities accessible to women. She traces waves of activism from the Progressive Era, with its calls for public restrooms, safe and accessible transportation, and public accommodations, through and beyond second-wave feminism, and its focus on the creation of alternative, women-only spaces and extensive anti-violence efforts. In doing so, Hickey explores how gender segregation intertwined with other systems of social control, as well as how class, race, and sexuality shaped activists' agendas and women's experiences of urban space. Drawing connections between the vulnerability of women in public spaces, real and presumed, and contemporary debates surrounding rape culture, bathroom bills, and domestic violence, Hickey unveils both the strikingly successful and the incomplete initiatives of activists who worked to open up public space to women.
