Summary

Jesus sides with the oppressed. Will you?In a world divided by left and right, red and blue, many Christians have upheld a “third way” approach in pursuit of moderation, harmony, and unity. But if Christians are more concerned with divisiveness than with faithfulness, we have failed to grasp the gospel’s political demands. We do not see Jesus taking a “third way” between oppressor and oppressed. And as followers of Jesus, neither should we.For the sake of our faith, for the sake of the least of these among us, and for Christ’s sake, Christians need to stand firmly for truth, peace, and justice. In Jesus Takes a Side, author Jonny Rashid lays out the political demands of following Jesus and offers strategies for how to engage politics practically and prophetically—even if it means taking a side.

    'Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.'
    
    A collection of profound meditations on morality, life and death, from one of the primary proponents of ancient Stoic philosophy: Seneca.
    
    Despite having been written at the turn of the earliest millennium, Seneca's 'On' essays remain extraordinary in their offer of insightful wisdom and practical advice on how to live a life worth living. Including writings on anger, providence, peace of mind, the shortness of life, grief and more, Seneca's words are unparalleled in their perceptiveness – so much so that they remain relevant even today. This audiobook edition is beautifully narrated by Malk Williams.
    Seneca (4 – 65 AD) was a Stoic philosopher, dramatist and statesman. Trained in rhetoric and philosophy, he became advisor to Roman emperor, Nero, until he was accused of plotting to assassinate him. He was executed via forced suicide, but his literary works – largely considered staple texts for ancient Stoicism – still live on today.

    The Truce - Progressives...

    The Truce is a definitive history of a half-decade of upheaval in the Democratic Party in which a new generation aggressively pursued their progressive ideals while the powerful, centrist establishment adapted to remain in command. Journalists Hunter Walker and Luppe B. Luppen illuminate this story of backroom maneuvering and political strategy with new revelations about pivotal events and exclusive, on-the-record comments from activists, campaign operatives, and members of Congress. 
     
     
     
    The Truce explores the major fault lines that define Democratic politics today and asks big questions about the future of the party. Will economic or social justice hold primacy at the top of the Democratic agenda? Who will lead the major wings of the party after two defining figures, Biden and Sanders, exit the stage? The Truce surveys the major shifts underway, from the rise of the Squad and new Democratic leadership in the House to a complete overhaul of the primary process. By digging into the divide between left and center, Walker and Luppen expose the creeping generational and political tensions that Biden has—for the moment—kept at bay. 
     
     
     
    An engrossing work, and a surprising must-listen, The Truce grapples with the dangers that threaten American democracy and the complicated cast of characters who are trying to save it.
