Beyond Welcome - Centering...

Karen González

Many American Christians have good intentions, working hard to welcome immigrants with hospitality and solidarity. But how can we do that in a way that empowers our immigrant neighbors rather than pushing them to the fringes of white-dominant culture and keeping them as outsiders? That's exactly the question Karen González explores in Beyond Welcome. 
 
 
 
A Guatemalan immigrant, González draws from the Bible and her own experiences to examine why the traditional approach to immigration ministries and activism is at best incomplete and at worst harmful. By advocating for putting immigrants in the center of the conversation, González helps listeners grow in discipleship and recognize themselves in their immigrant neighbors. 
 
 
 
Accessible to any Christian who is called to serve immigrants, this book equips listeners to take action to dismantle white supremacy and xenophobia in the church. They will emerge with new insight into our shared humanity and need for belonging and liberation.

Washington's Heir - The Life of...

Gerard N. Magliocca

The first biography of George Washington's extraordinary nephew, who inherited Mount Vernon and was Chief Justice John Marshall's right-hand man on the Supreme Court for nearly thirty years. 
 
 
 
In Washington's Heir, Gerard N. Magliocca gives us the first published biography of Bushrod Washington, one of the most underrated Founding Fathers. Born in 1762, Justice Washington fought in the Revolutionary War, served in Virginia's ratifying convention for the Constitution, and was Chief Justice John Marshall's partner in establishing the authority of the Supreme Court. Though he could only see from one eye, Justice Washington wrote many landmark decisions defining the fundamental rights of citizens and the structure of the Constitution, including Corfield v. Coryell—an influential source for the Congress that proposed the Fourteenth Amendment. As George Washington's personal heir, Bushrod inherited both Mount Vernon and the family legacy of owning other people, one of whom was almost certainly his half-brother or nephew. Yet Justice Washington alone among the Founders was criticized by journalists for selling enslaved people and, in turn, issued a public defense of his actions that laid bare the hypocrisy and cruelty of slavery.

Narcissism - Identifying Traits...

Coral Nunez

Narcissism is a term often used to describe individuals who are excessively self-absorbed, lack empathy, and crave admiration. While everyone exhibits some level of self-interest, narcissism exists on a spectrum, ranging from healthy self-confidence to Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), a diagnosable mental health condition. Understanding narcissism requires examining its characteristics, origins, and the myths that often surround it. 
At its core, narcissism is marked by a grandiose sense of self-importance, a deep need for validation, and an inability to acknowledge the emotions of others. Narcissists often present themselves as charming, confident, and charismatic, but beneath the surface, they struggle with fragile self-esteem. Their self-worth depends on external validation, making them highly reactive to criticism or perceived rejection. 
The origins of narcissistic traits can often be traced back to childhood experiences. Some narcissists are products of excessive praise and entitlement, while others develop these traits as a defense mechanism against neglect or abuse. A child raised in an environment where love is conditional—based on achievement or obedience—may grow up believing their worth is tied to external success rather than intrinsic value. In some cases, narcissistic tendencies are reinforced by societal pressures that prioritize status, power, and material success over genuine emotional connection.

Reform and Rupture

Anonymous

This third book traces how the Ottoman Empire tried to reinvent itself—and why reinvention was not enough. Beginning with reformers who believed a modern army and a rule-bound bureaucracy could save the state, it follows the Tanzimat project, the growth of new schools and publics, and the arrival of steam, telegraph, and rail. These changes produced opportunity and conflict at once, strengthening central authority while sharpening questions of citizenship, language, and belonging. As Balkan nationalisms and Great Power rivalry escalated, constitutional experiments collided with authoritarian security politics, culminating in the Young Turk era and the empire’s descent into near-continuous war. Moving through the Arab provinces, the Balkan crucible, and the catastrophic pressures of World War I, the book shows how governance, identity, and survival became inseparable—until occupation and resistance remade sovereignty itself. The story ends in 1922–1923 with the abolition of the sultanate and the emergence of a new political order, revealing how modern state-building grew out of imperial crisis rather than replacing it cleanly.

Ingenious - A Biography of...

Richard Munson

The dramatic story of an ingenious man who explained nature and created a country. 
 
 
 
Benjamin Franklin was one of the preeminent scientists of his time. Driven by curiosity, he conducted cutting-edge research on electricity, heat, ocean currents, weather patterns, chemical bonds, and plants. But today, Franklin is remembered more for his political prowess and diplomatic achievements than his scientific creativity. 
 
 
 
In this incisive and rich account of Benjamin Franklin's life and career, Richard Munson recovers this vital part of Franklin's story, reveals his modern relevance, and offers a compelling portrait of a shrewd experimenter, clever innovator, and visionary physicist whose fame opened doors to negotiate French support and funding for American independence. 
 
 
 
Munson's riveting narrative explores how science underpins Franklin's entire story—from tradesman to inventor to nation-founder—and argues that Franklin's political life cannot be understood without giving proper credit to his scientific accomplishments.
