  Are you tired of being the villain in your own life story? 
  Worried about how this constant conflict might be affecting your kids? 
  Do you feel like a pawn in a chess game with no end in sight? 
  Fed up with the endless power struggles with your ex? 
  Believe me, I get it. 
  It's a tough gig being a co-parent, especially when every interaction feels like walking into a war zone. You're here because you need a way out of this high-stress situation, and guess what? You're in the right place. 
  But first a warning: 
  This isn't some magic potion that instantly resolves all co-parenting conflicts. If you're searching for an overnight panacea without doing any groundwork, then this might not be for you. This book requires honesty with oneself, a willingness to commit time and effort, and the desire for lasting change. But if you're ready to roll up your sleeves and invest in a peaceful co-parenting future, this book can be your roadmap. 
  Does any of these situations sounds familiar? 
  - Your kid's soccer game becomes a tension-filled standoff with your ex. 
  - Drop-offs and pick-ups turn into battlegrounds rather than pleasant exchanges. 
  - Boundaries you set are constantly disrespected or ignored. 
  - Conversations about your kids devolve into accusations and arguments. 
  - Your children often become pawns in power plays. 
  - Decisions about schooling, healthcare, or simple routines become epic sagas. 
  - You're left feeling stressed, anxious, or upset after every interaction with your ex. 
  - You fear for your child's emotional wellbeing amidst all the conflict. 
  So, are you ready to trade high-drama for high-harmony? 
  Are you prepared to redefine your co-parenting journey? Ready to put your kids first in the healthiest way possible? Then it's time to take the next step.

  Private Censorship

  Concerns about censorship have once again reached a fever pitch across the liberal West. With a few notable exceptions, complaints about censorship in the twenty-first century West are complaints about the behavior of private parties: employers, media conglomerates, social media platforms, and search engines. 
   
   
   
  To better understand the concerns surrounding nonstate interference with speech, Private Censorship offers an account of censorship, as well as an assessment of the ethical and political issues it raises across contexts. J. P. Messina asks and variously answers questions like: what should we think when employees get fired for things they say and how might patterns of such firings create a climate of fear inimical to free inquiry? When is it appropriate for social media firms to deplatform users, and what does it mean for our democracy that those in charge of such decisions are often wealthy Silicon Valley executives? Do search engines act as massive gatekeepers to information in troubling ways, and how might they be constrained, if they do? Along the way, Messina casts a critical eye on many popular proposals for responding to these complaints. Unlike these popular approaches, Private Censorship foregrounds the importance of rights to property, association, and free expression for thinking well about twenty-first century censorship concerns.

  Dear White Peacemakers is a breakup letter to division, a love letter to God’s beloved community, and an eviction notice to the violent powers that have sustained racism for centuries.   Race is one of the hardest topics to discuss in America. Many white Christians avoid talking about it altogether. But a commitment to peacemaking requires white people to step out of their comfort and privilege and into the work of anti-racism. Dear White Peacemakers is an invitation to white Christians to come to the table and join this hard work and holy calling. Rooted in the life, ministry, and teachings of Jesus, this book is a challenging call to transform white shame, fragility, saviorism, and privilege, in order to work together to build the Beloved Community as anti-racism peacemakers.   Written in the wake of George Floyd’s death, Dear White Peacemakers draws on the Sermon on the Mount, Spirituals, and personal stories from author Osheta Moore’s work as a pastor in St. Paul, Minnesota. Enter into this story of shalom and join in the urgent work of anti-racism peacemaking.

  A Muslim American Slave - The...

  Omar Ibn Said

  Born to a wealthy family in West Africa around 1770, Omar Ibn Said was abducted and sold into slavery in the United States, where he came to the attention of a prominent North Carolina family after filling "the walls of his room with piteous petitions to be released, all written in the Arabic language," as one local newspaper reported. Ibn Said soon became a local celebrity, and in 1831 he was asked to write his life story, producing the only known surviving American slave narrative written in Arabic. 
   
   
   
  In A Muslim American Slave, Ala Alryyes offers both a definitive translation and an authoritative edition of this singularly important work, lending new insights into the early history of Islam in America and exploring the multiple, shifting interpretations of Ibn Said's narrative by the nineteenth-century missionaries, ethnographers, and intellectuals who championed it. 
   
   
   
  This edition presents the English translation of Ibn Said's Arabic narrative, augmented by Alryyes's comprehensive introduction, contextual essays and historical commentary by leading literary critics and scholars of Islam and the African diaspora and other writings by Omar Ibn Said. The result is an invaluable addition to our understanding of writings by enslaved Americans and a timely reminder that "Islam" and "America" are not mutually exclusive terms.
