    A global history of how Thomas Jefferson's descendants navigated the legacy of the Declaration of Independence on both sides of the color line 
     
     
      
    The Declaration of Independence identified two core principles—independence and equality—that defined the American Revolution and the nation forged in 1776. Jefferson believed that each new generation of Americans would have to look to the "experience of the present" rather than the "wisdom" of the past to interpret and apply these principles in new and progressive ways. 
     
     
      
    Historian Christa Dierksheide examines the lives and experiences of a rising generation of Jefferson's descendants, Black and white, illuminating how they redefined equality and independence in a world that was half a century removed from the American Revolution. The Hemingses and Randolphs moved beyond Jefferson and his eighteenth-century world, leveraging their own ideas and experiences in nineteenth-century Britain, China, Cuba, Mexico, and the American West to claim independence and equal rights in an imperial and slaveholding republic.

    Emotions are a gift from God—yes, even the "bad" ones.
    Anxiety can keep us up at night. Anger can cause us to fly off the handle. Sadness can drain us of energy. Shame can isolate us. Emotions like these are powerful. They can tax our relationships and distress our souls. No amount of sheer willpower or good intentions are sufficient to overcome them.
    But God has a good purpose for these core emotions he created. By integrating biblical truth, evidence-based insights from psychology, and spiritual practices, we can move from being mastered by these emotions to living in emotional maturity. Psychologist Kevin Chapman draws on his therapeutic expertise to invite us into a deeper understanding of our own thinking patterns, emotional triggers, and avoidance behaviors—all viewed through the lens of scriptural truth and God's power to change lives.
    In Mastering Our Emotions you'll find
    
    - exercises
    - worksheets
    - Scripture readings, and
    - reflection prompts
    to help you work through challenges and develop new skills.
    Rather than simply reacting to negative emotions in unhealthy ways, with God's help you can experience emotional transformation.

    You alright? 
    “I’m good.” 
    That’s what we say. 
    That’s what we’ve been taught to say—no matter what’s really going on beneath the surface. 
    You Alright. I’m Good. Until You’re Not. is a powerful and unfiltered look at the illusion we live under—the belief that everything is fine… until it isn’t. 
    Through raw storytelling and real-life perspective, Terrance McDuffie takes you inside the moments we often ignore—the stress, the pressure, the silent battles, and the warning signs we overlook. 
    This isn’t just about what happens when life changes. 
    It’s about what comes after. 
    The fear. 
    The questions. 
    The shift in identity. 
    And the realization that everything can change in an instant—without warning. 
    Narrated by the author himself, this audiobook delivers an intimate and deeply personal experience that resonates far beyond the moment of crisis. 
    If you’ve ever said “I’m good” when you weren’t… 
    this story is for you.

    Street Haunting: A London Adventure

    In this beautifully evocative essay, Virginia Woolf transforms a simple errand—a trip to buy a pencil—into a mesmerizing exploration of city life, memory, identity, and the quiet drama of everyday existence. As she drifts through the winter streets of London, Woolf captures fleeting moments, passing faces, and the rhythm of urban solitude with her signature lyricism and insight.
    Street Haunting is more than a stroll through the city—it's a meditation on how we see the world, and how the world, in turn, shapes who we are.
    Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English novelist and essayist regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the famous Bloomsbury Group.
