  We don't care about what we don't see.
  Countless people are invisible to us. We overlook the poor and homeless, partly because we don't share much space with them. More seriously, we often choose not to see the realities around us. We hold misconceptions about who is deserving or not, or make false assumptions about people's poverty being their own fault.
  Terence Lester calls us to see the invisiblepeople around us. His personal encounters and real-life stories challenge Christians to become more informed about poverty and homelessness, and to see the poor as Jesus does. When we see people through God's eyes and hear their stories, we restoretheir dignity and help them flourish. And when we recognize our own inner spiritual poverty, we have greater empathy for others, no matter their circumstances.
  Let love open your eyes. Discover how seeing leads us to act with compassion and justice—as God intends.

  You've read White Fragility and How to Be an Antiracist, but what comes next? The answer lies in this clear, actionable guide providing an invaluable four-week program for becoming an ally who makes a real difference in the racial justice fight. 
   
   
   
  Black women have always been the driving force behind real change in this country—especially when it comes to racial justice work. But they shouldn't have to do it alone. If you're ready to stop standing on the sidelines and become anti-racist instead of passively "not racist," then this book is what you need. You'll discover: how to have difficult conversations about white supremacy, racism, and white privilege; how to listen to criticism without defensiveness; why it's harmful to ignore race or claim to be colorblind; and how to expand your racial justice circle by joining groups led by Black women and cultivating a group of like-minded allies. 
   
   
    
  Racism can only be defeated if white people educate themselves and actively engage in antiracism work, especially in their inner circles. With this book, you'll learn how to change from someone who defends and protects racism to someone who fights against it. And you'll become an example to others that true allies are made, not born.

  This Grammy-nominated recording is a thoughtful reflection about aging by President Jimmy Carter, the longest living president in American history.
  
  Even as life expectancy has increased over the centuries, the thought of aging continues to plague men and women around the world. In addition to worries about the physical aspects of aging, people also fear the prejudice that exists toward the elderly. But as President Jimmy Carter demonstrates, there are indeed virtues to aging, as he explores the spiritual and intellectual growth that often comes with old age. President Carter tackles such issues as planning for retirement, adopting new diet and exercise regimens, and coping with age prejudice. In addition to sharing valuable lessons on aging he learned from world leaders and great thinkers, Carter also reflects on his marriage to Rosalyn, a union that endured for more than 75 years. This inspiring audio, narrated by Carter himself, received a Grammy nomination for Best Spoken Word Album.

  In May, 1986, at the Court of Appeals in Athens, Dr. Montgomery successfully defended three evangelical missionaries who had been given three-and-a half year prison terms for "proselytizing." The President of the United States and many congressional leaders had written to the Greek government in support of the defendants. Following the trial, Dr. Montgomery was asked to deliver a lecture on the subject at the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem (June 19, 1986). Here is the recording of that account of one of the major Christian human rights trials of our time.

  Some investigators have argued that emotions, especially animal emotions, are illusory concepts outside the realm of scientific inquiry. However, with advances in neurobiology and neuroscience, researchers are demonstrating that this position is wrong as they move closer to a lasting understanding of the biology and psychology of emotion. In Affective Neuroscience, Jaak Panksepp provides the most up-to-date information about the brain-operating systems that organize the fundamental emotional tendencies of all mammals. Presenting complex material in a readable manner, the book offers a comprehensive summary of the fundamental neural sources of human and animal feelings, as well as a conceptual framework for studying emotional systems of the brain. Panksepp approaches emotions from the perspective of basic emotion theory but does not fail to address the complex issues raised by constructionist approaches. These issues include relations to human consciousness and the psychiatric implications of this knowledge. The book includes chapters on sleep and arousal, pleasure and fear systems, the sources of rage and anger, and the neural control of sexuality, as well as the more subtle emotions related to maternal care, social loss, and playfulness. Representing a synthetic integration of vast amounts of neurobehavioral knowledge, including relevant neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neurochemistry, this book will be one of the most important contributions to understanding the biology of emotions since Darwin's The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. 
   
  PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read and engineered by Mike Fraser. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
