  From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible proclaims justice and abundance for the poor. Yet these powerful passages about poverty are frequently overlooked and misinterpreted. Enter the Poor People's Campaign, a movement against racism, poverty, ecological devastation, militarism, and religious nationalism. In We Cry Justice, Liz Theoharis, cochair of the campaign, is joined by pastors, community organizers, scholars, low-wage workers, lay leaders, and people in poverty to interpret sacred stories about the poor seeking healing, equity, and freedom. In a world roiled by poverty and injustice, Scripture still speaks. 
   
   
   
  Organized into fifty-two chapters, each focusing on a key Scripture passage, We Cry Justice offers comfort and challenge from the many stories of the poor taking action together. Listen to the story of the exodus that frees people from debt and slavery, the prophets who denounce the rich and ruling classes, the stories of Jesus's healing and parables about fair wages, and the early church's sharing of goods. Reflection questions and a short prayer at the end of each chapter offer the opportunity to use the book devotionally through a year. 
   
   
   
  The Bible cries for justice, and we do too. It's time to act on God's persistent call to repair the breach and fight poverty, not the poor.

  Psychodynamic Therapy -...

  Psychodynamic therapy is an approach to psychological treatment rooted in the ideas and concepts developed by Sigmund Freud and his followers. It emphasizes the importance of unconscious processes and early childhood experiences in shaping an individual's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This therapy aims to bring these unconscious factors into conscious awareness, helping individuals gain insight and resolve internal conflicts that may be contributing to current psychological difficulties. 
  The history of psychodynamic therapy traces back to the early 20th century when Freud, a neurologist, developed his theories of the unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, and the structure of the psyche. Freud’s ideas on human development, sexuality, and the role of unconscious drives sparked both widespread debate and fascination, establishing the foundation for psychodynamic therapy. Over time, various schools of thought and modifications emerged within psychodynamic theory, influenced by key figures such as Carl Jung, Melanie Klein, and Erik Erikson. Despite these developments, the core principles of psychodynamic therapy remain grounded in understanding how unconscious thoughts and past experiences shape present behavior. 
  Central to psychodynamic therapy is the belief that much of human behavior is influenced by internal, unconscious forces. These forces are often formed in early childhood and can result in unresolved conflicts, repressed memories, or unmet emotional needs. By exploring these unconscious factors, psychodynamic therapy seeks to uncover hidden patterns and help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves. The therapeutic relationship itself plays a vital role in this process, as the dynamics between the therapist and the client often mirror significant interpersonal relationships from the client’s past.

  Campus Free Speech - A Pocket Guide

  Free speech is indispensable on college campuses: allowing varied views and frank exchanges of opinion is a core component of the educational enterprise. But free speech does not mean a free-for-all. The First Amendment prohibits "abridging the freedom of speech," yet laws against perjury or bribery, for example, are still constitutional. In the same way, valuing freedom of speech does not stop a university from regulating speech when doing so is necessary for its educational mission. So where is the dividing line? How can we distinguish reasonable restrictions from impermissible infringement? 
   
   
   
  In this pragmatic, no-nonsense explainer, Cass Sunstein takes us through a wide range of scenarios involving students, professors, and administrators. He discusses why it's consistent with the First Amendment to punish students who shout down a speaker, but not those who chant offensive slogans; why a professor cannot be fired for writing a politically charged op-ed, yet a university might legitimately consider an applicant's political views when deciding whether to hire her. He explains why private universities are not legally bound by the First Amendment yet should, in most cases, look to follow it. And he addresses the thorny question of whether a university should officially take sides on public issues or deliberately keep the institution outside the fray.

  Pearl and Bessie - A baby...

  On the rubbish dump, a baby cried.  
  The cry was weak, and fading. The wild dogs had picked up the cries, and the scent, and were circling, closing in. 
  Bessie walked towards the sound and found a day-old baby girl. She had been abandoned because of her sex. It happened often here, in south west China. 
  If Bessie did nothing, the baby would be torn to pieces. So she picked her up, carried her to safety, and later adopted her. Yet, in saving her life, did Bessie condemn the baby she named Pearl to a life of fear and persecution? 
  This is Pearl’s story, and that of Bessie, plus Alf – Bessie’s then fiancé, later husband – and John, a second Han Chinese child the couple adopted. 
  Bessie and Alf were Methodists missionaries in Yunnan province, China, in the first half of the twentieth century. They lived through momentous times, including the Japanese occupation, the Second World War, the civil war, the Communist takeover and the Cultural Revolution. 
  This book follows their personal stories against the backdrop of a turbulent century.
