  The achievement of our humanity comes about only through immersion in concrete, visceral, embodied relational experience, yet for many human beings, that achievement is stamped by the struggle against oppression in history, society, and religion. In this incisive and important work, distinguished theologian M. Shawn Copeland demonstrates with rare insight and conviction how Black women's historical experience and oppression cast a completely different light on our theological ideas about being human. Copeland argues that race, embodiment, and relations of power reframe not only theological anthropology but also our notions of discipleship, church, Eucharist, and Christ. Enfleshing Freedom is a work of deep moral seriousness, rigorous speculative skill, and sharp theological reasoning. This new edition incorporates recent theological, philosophical, historical, political, and sociological scholarship; engages with current social movements like #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo; and presents a new chapter on the body.

  NOT ONE MORE DAY is Candice Morrow’s gripping story of surviving family and spousal abuse, breaking destructive generational cycles & claiming personal power. 
  Raised in an abusive, violent home, Candice later married a man who broke her bones, bruised her body, berated her, and even had her placed behind bars. She lived in constant fear, trying to survive while raising her two young sons. 
  For years, Candice’s family had told her she was too stupid to attend college. But these six words, spoken by a young woman she’d just met, changed everything: “Why don’t you go to college?” 
  Candice knew education was her only way out. Battling ADHD and dyslexia, she earned her nursing degree while enduring unimaginable abuse, pain, and fear. 
  NOT ONE MORE DAY is a lifeline for those who feel trapped, a source of strength for those fighting their way out, and a tribute to those refusing to give up. With unflinching candor, Candice Morrow recounts the terrifying realities of domestic violence and the immense challenges she faced after leaving her abuser––and celebrates the vibrant career and peaceful life she’s now enjoying.

  Beyond Sled Dogs and Gold 
   
   
   
  Somewhere between myths and hard facts you find Nome, poised also between yesterday and tomorrow. Drawing on his background in anthropology and an equal passion for history, Michael Engelhard surveys the seam that links two neighboring continents through the lens of one pivotal city. The region's legacy of millennia shines on pages enriched by this writer's recollections—from mammoths to Cold War monuments, from a spa turned orphanage, to cyclist miners and shaman hoards. Meet the explorers and adventurers, reindeer herders and hustlers, the dancers, drummers, dreamers, warriors, walrus-tusk carvers, and whalers, clergy, foragers, and photographers who shaped a place of conflicting visions as thoroughly as it shaped them.

  The Dark Side of Mankind

  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  Mankind is naturally evil and good. Ever since we became conscious, the evil within us emerged. Animals are not good or evil, they just follow the power of nature. We became aware of the differences and we continued regardless. No higher agent such as God can be blamed for the rise of darkness in our souls. Moral evil is caused by human activity. 
   
  It is argued that our love of darkness proves that there is no God. If God exists and is omnipotent and all-knowing and perfectly good then there would be no natural evil, but there is. Can we continue to blame God for the ways of mankind or is it time we accepted responsibility for our ways? 
   
  The truth is that we will not stop any time soon. In this book we examine the dark nature of mankind and the most gruesome and disturbing acts we have committed over time. From the holocaust to human sacrifices to false gods. No bloodstained stone will be unturned. 
   
  Welcome to the Dark Side.

  In the century since its founding in 1924, the Roman Catholic diocese of Lancaster has had seven bishops and one auxiliary bishop. In a series of biographical portraits, Paul Severn tells the story of each of the bishops, explores their background and their impact on the life of the diocese in a century of change in the Church and in the wider world.
  
   
  Looking back on a century that has seen two world wars, profound changes in society, the “revolution” of the Second Vatican Council, increasing secularization and declining numbers of those attending church, and the beginnings of synodality, he reflects on the lives of the individual bishops and also on the role and responsibility of Roman Catholic bishops in the twenty-first century.
