  Coming Clean - The Rise of...

  What has gone wrong with the left—and what leftists must do if they want to change politics, ethics, and minds. 
   
   
   
  Leftists have long taught that people in the West must take responsibility for centuries of classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices. Of course, right-wingers constantly ridicule this claim for its "wokeness." 
   
   
   
  In Coming Clean, Eric Heinzerejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about these bleak pasts, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century—Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. 
   
   
   
  Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that leftists have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of "hatred," and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground.

  Someone says one sentence at dinner and your face goes hot before you've decided anything. Or you go quiet, replay the meeting all evening, and only later realise what the other person was actually telling you.
  
  This audiobook turns emotional intelligence into something you can use in the next ten minutes. Each chapter opens with a scene you'll recognise, explains in plain language why emotions hijack you and how labelling a feeling loosens its grip, then hands you one script or reframe to try this week. You'll work through four Emotional Dials, Notice, Name, Steer and Reach, so you can catch the surge as it rises, put an accurate word on it, choose your response, and read what the person across from you is feeling before you answer.
  
  Expect calmer conversations, fewer apologies the morning after, and relationships that feel easier because you're finally hearing what's underneath the words. Press play on your commute, and bring one dial to the table tonight.

  In her early 20’s, Catherine Renfro received a phone call no one should have. In broken hopelessness, her brother, Barrett, called out with despair before taking his own life. She and her father would rush over to his home only to find out that he was no longer with them.Catherine went through a season of grief that hundreds of thousands of people endure every year in America. But even in the midst of anger, suffering, and guilt, she would say that Christ never left her.In Hope, Hurt, and Healing, Catherine Renfro addresses the reality of loss, the feeling of brokenness, the guilt of living on while also pointing to the hope of the gospel, the peace of relying on Christ, and the trusting in God even during the broken seasons. She offers a real look at suicide loss, but she does not simply live in the despair. Instead, she uses her own life to point people to Christ and lean on his goodness to discover hope for the present and healing for the future.

  Oskar Schindler was an unexpected hero. He drank heavily, and some even said he was a womanizer who flaunted his affairs. Yet, in one of history’s darkest hours, he demonstrated an extraordinary capacity for courage and humanity. 
  Amid the horrors of the Holocaust, Schindler found himself in a position where he could make a difference. Rather than bowing down in silent submission like so many others did, he chose to stand tall against the wave of tyranny unleashed by Adolf Hitler. He used his position and resources to save the lives of more than a thousand Jews, employing them in his factories and shielding them from the deadly clutches of the Nazi regime. 
  This book delves into the complex and compelling story of Oskar Schindler. It’s a tale of how one individual, flawed and unheroic in conventional terms, can rise above the fray to make a profound impact. This is the story of Schindler and his list that became a symbol of hope and human decency amid one of the greatest atrocities in modern history.

  Parliamentary America - The...

  Maxwell L. Stearns

  Americans face increasingly stark choices each presidential election and a growing sense that our government can't solve the nation's most urgent challenges.  Our eighteenth-century system is ill-suited to our twenty-first-century world. Information-age technology has undermined our capacity to face common problems together and turned our democracy upside down, with gerrymanders letting representatives choose voters rather than voters choosing them. In Parliamentary America, Maxwell L. Stearns argues that the solution to these complex problems is a parliamentary democracy. 
   
   
   
  Stearns considers such leading alternatives as ranked choice voting, the national popular vote, and congressional term limits, showing why these can't solve our constitutional crisis. Instead, three amendments—expanding the House of Representatives, having House party coalitions choose the president, and letting the House end a failing presidency based on no confidence—will produce a robust multiparty democracy. 
   
   
   
  Stearns takes listeners on a world tour—England, France, Germany, Israel, Taiwan, Brazil, and Venezuela—showing what works in government, what doesn't, and how to make the best features our own. Genuine party competition and governing coalitions, commonplace across the globe, may seem like a fantasy in the United States. But we can make them a reality.
