    We label them criminals. This book asks us to look again. 
    In The Light Within the Walls, social worker C.P. Handler takes readers inside juvenile detention, where boys carrying histories of trauma, abandonment, violence, and loss are often reduced to the worst thing they have ever done. 
    What she finds is not the story she expected. 
    As she builds trust with youth navigating a system that promises rehabilitation while often operating through punishment, control, and fear, their stories begin to emerge — stories of resilience, loyalty, heartbreak, and hope. 
    The Light Within the Walls is a powerful memoir about the humanity hidden behind the labels and the profound difference one trusted adult can make.

    A revelatory adventure that leads two friends into the belly of the beast with the ’90s most influential U.K. punk band that changed so many lives
    		 
    It might seem odd — a punk band introducing poetry into someone’s life. But what if this lyrical influence was the reason you became a writer in the first place?
    		 
    Days and Days weaves together two stories. One is a tale of friendship and self-discovery that occurs during a backpacking adventure through England, Scotland, and Ireland. The other celebrates the highly influential yet underestimated UK band Leatherface, a group that The Guardian called “the greatest British punk band of the modern era.”
    		 
    Without so much as a single hostel booked, Chris MacDonald and his friend Jason cross the Atlantic. They sleep in train stations, endure a haunting on top of a volcano in Edinburgh, are driven out of Belfast by the IRA, and witness the mother of all storms. They also find themselves in the rehearsal space of their teenage punk idols, a building steeped in cultural significance for the Sunderland music scene.
    		 
    Days and Days is about the silver thread that connects us even after drifting apart. It’s a story about forgiveness and reflection, how beauty can be found within callous cladding. Leatherface band members, colleagues, and friends generously share personal insights that guide the reader into the melancholy, darkness, and humor that surround Sunderland’s best-kept secret.

    Heretics by G. K. Chesterton is a thought-provoking collection of essays that critiques the intellectual and cultural trends of his time. Chesterton challenges the prevailing ideologies of modernity, targeting thinkers and movements he views as undermining tradition, faith, and common sense. With sharp wit and eloquence, he defends the necessity of orthodoxy—not as rigid dogma, but as a foundation for truth and sanity in an increasingly skeptical world. Chesterton argues that rejecting universal truths leads to fragmented philosophies and moral relativism, leaving humanity adrift. Through his characteristic blend of humor, paradox, and profound insight, he calls for a return to enduring values rooted in Christianity. Heretics is both a defense of belief and a celebration of the imaginative vitality that faith inspires, making it a timeless critique of doubt and a call to embrace meaning in a chaotic age.

    While some may argue that the detective story is an example of cheap, dispensable popular fiction, G. K. Chesterton begs to differ. He is, after all, the author of the Father Brown mysteries! Where else but in detective novels do we appreciate the romance of the city? 
    This essay is from a series titled The Defendant, first published as a collection in 1901, after the individual essays were published in The Speaker. Here, a selection of these essays has been reissued by Voices of Today.
