  "A forceful call to recognize the roots of American inequality and a solid starting point for Christians who want to help fix them."--Publishers Weekly 
   
  Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been. 
   
  Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this powerful idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money--what some call "racial capitalism"--drives violence and exploitation across American history. In this book, you'll discover 
   
  ● how greed historically gave birth to racial categories and systemic oppression, 
  ● the connection between economic exploitation and racial violence, 
  · lessons from historical figures like Ida B. Wells on resistance and truth-telling, 
  ● practical steps for building communities of deep economic solidarity, and 
  ● biblical foundations for combating racial capitalism through gospel values. 
   
  Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He challenges the contemporary church to wrestle with crucial questions: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey toward racial justice? 
   
  Readers will gain tools to resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbors more completely, and build communities rooted in deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth-telling.

  Forging the Will to Fight 
  By Heston Russell 
  In Forging the Will to Fight, retired Special Forces Major Heston Russell delivers a raw and deeply personal memoir that cuts through the mythology of war to reveal the real human cost — and courage — of leadership in combat and beyond. 
  From commanding elite Australian commandos in Afghanistan and Iraq to facing the internal battles of identity, purpose, and public scrutiny, Heston’s story is one of intense service, sacrifice, and the lifelong pursuit of integrity. Through powerful firsthand accounts, the book captures the adrenaline of missions, the heartbreak of loss, and the heavy responsibility of leading others through the most unforgiving conditions. 
  But the battlefield is only the beginning. 
  Returning home, Heston finds himself in a new kind of fight — for justice, for truth, and for the honour of his platoon. His landmark Federal Court defamation victory against the ABC is not just a legal case but a stand against the erosion of trust, truth, and the dignity of those who serve. 
  Forging the Will to Fight is more than a military memoir. It is a guide to resilience, a reflection on leadership forged in adversity, and a call to live with courage, character, and conviction. This is a story for anyone who has ever questioned their purpose — and fought to find it.

  Literature and the New Culture...

  Can educators continue to teach troubling but worthwhile texts? 
   
   
   
  Our current "culture wars" have reshaped the politics of secondary literature instruction. Due to a variety of challenges from both the left and the right—to language or subject matter, to potentially triggering content, or to authors who have been canceled—school reading lists are rapidly shrinking. For many teachers, choosing which books to include in their curriculum has become an agonizing task with political, professional, and ethical dimensions. 
   
   
   
  In Literature and the New Culture Wars, Deborah Appleman calls for a reacknowledgment of the intellectual and affective work that literature can do, and offers ways to continue to teach troubling texts without doing harm. Rather than banishing challenged texts from our classrooms, she writes, we should be confronting and teaching the controversies they invoke. Her book is a timely and eloquent argument for a reasoned approach to determining what literature still deserves to be read and taught and discussed.
