  True stories from a forensic psychologist in prisons and out.  
   
   
  ‘The most dangerous people I met weren’t monsters. They were broken children wearing adult faces.’ 
   
  Pamela Nathan, clinical and forensic psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, uncovers the inner worlds of society’s most dangerous and broken—whether behind bars or hidden in plain sight. 
   
  In Pain Bleeds Crime, she shares twenty-three gripping true stories from her decades working in maximum-security prisons, courts, and forensic hospitals. The crimes are shocking—murder, rape, paedophilia, assault, fetishism, bestiality, and more—but what lies beneath is often even more confronting. 
   
  Each offender, whether male, female or transgender, reveals a hidden world shaped by trauma, pain, and silence. Pamela enters these inner worlds to feel and then to have revealed the internal crime scenes, to see what made them break—mentally, emotionally, morally. These aren’t excuses. They’re revelations. 
   
  You’ll come face-to-face with people whose crimes horrified the public—people who insist they’re not violent, or that “it just happened”—and come face-to-face with the dark truth: the past never really goes away. With unflinching honesty and rare insight, Pamela shows how the past never really stays buried—and how behind every act of violence, there’s a story waiting to be told. 
   
  Brutally honest, deeply unsettling, and impossible to forget, Pain Bleeds Crime is a journey into the darkest parts of humanity. 
   
   
  ‘Mad, bad, or sad—when we listen to the story, we see the person.’ 
   
   
  ‘A chilling exploration of the trauma and pain behind the most heinous crimes.’

  A feminist reinterpretation of the myths surrounding Cleopatra casts new light on the Egyptian queen and her legacy 
   
  The siren passionately in love with Mark Antony, the seductress who allegedly rolled out of a carpet she had herself smuggled in to see Caesar, Cleopatra is a figure shrouded in myth. Beyond the legends immortalized by Plutarch, Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw, and others, there are no journals or letters written by Cleopatra herself. All we have to tell her story are words written by others. 
   
  What has it meant for our understanding of Cleopatra to have had her story told by writers who had a political agenda, authors who distrusted her motives, and historians who believed she was a liar? Francine Prose delves into ancient Greek and Roman literary sources, as well as modern representations of Cleopatra in art, theater, and film. She challenges the common narratives driven by orientalism and misogyny and offers a new interpretation of Cleopatra’s history from the lens of our own era.

  "An inspiring starting point for Christians looking to put their beliefs into action." —Publishers Weekly 
   
   
   
  Political and cultural wars are tearing communities apart. Issues such as immigration, racism, and guns are driving wedges between people and hampering Christians' impact in the world. 
   
   
   
  In Empowered to Repair, Brenda Salter McNeil looks to the biblical story of Nehemiah for answers. There, she finds an action-based model for repairing and rebuilding our communities and transforming broken systems. 
   
   
   
  McNeil goes beyond theories, offering practical tools Christians need for organizing, empowering, and activating people to join in God's work of equality, reparations, and justice. She provides strategies to drive systemic changes that go beyond superficial diversity and teaches the skills needed to engage in this important work long-term, such as organizing people, leveraging resources, and avoiding burnout through rest, prayer, and self-care. 
   
   
   
  Learning from Nehemiah, listeners will be emboldened to go out and help build congregations, organizations, and communities where all people can flourish and reach their full, God-given potential.
