  Christianity and Critical Race...

  Critical Race Theory (CRT) has become a lightning rod in American politics and evangelical Christianity. This book offers a critical but constructive and sympathetic introduction to CRT written from a perspective rooted in Scripture and Christian theology. The authors take us beyond caricatures and misinformation to consider how CRT can be an analytical tool to help us understand persistent inequality and injustice—and to see how Christians and churches working for racial justice can engage CRT in faithful and constructive ways. 
   
   
   
  The authors explore aspects of CRT that resonate with well-trod Christian doctrine but also that challenge or are corrected by Christian theology. They also address the controversial connection that critics see between CRT and Marxism. Their aim is to offer objective analysis and critique that go beyond the debates about social identity and the culture wars and aid those who are engaging the issues in Christian life and ministry. Reflection/discussion questions, exercises, a glossary of key CRT terms, and suggested readings make the book helpful for students or small groups.

  The Golden Fortress -...

  In February 1936, Los Angeles police officers drove hundreds of miles to California’s state borders with one mission: turn back anyone deemed too poor to enter.Myths of the Golden State’s abundance enticed thousands of Americans uprooted by the Depression, but those who created those myths saw only invading criminal “hordes” that they believed just one man could stop: James “Two-Gun” Davis, Los Angeles’ authoritarian police chief.The Golden Fortress tells the story of Davis’s audacious deployment of hand-picked armed police slamming California’s door on America’s Dust Bowl refugees and Depression-displaced migrants. It depicts the sometimes deadly consequences of law enforcement politicized and weaponized against the poor, even in remote places like Modoc County, where a sheriff’s opposition to the blockade inflamed an already smoldering feud between an itinerant newsman and a publisher obsessed with her California heritage.Davis, blessed by his city’s ruling business class and fueled by his own wild claims of communist conspiracies undermining America, deployed his “Foreign Legion” to California’s state lines, threatening democracy even as the nation’s cities and rural communities juggled the burdens of economic recovery, migrant aid, and public safety.

  A timely guide to help you re-examine your ideas, encounter debate, and navigate a polarized world with calm rationality. "Nerenberg offers ways to speak up, stand alone, and be true to ourselves. . . . Nerenberg’s timely and thought-provoking analysis is sure to spark discussion." – Booklist Trust Your Mind takes you on a stunning tour of self-silencing, groupthink, and their antidote: critical reasoning. From conducting in-depth interviews to uncovering scientific research and sharing her own personal story, bestselling author Jenara Nerenberg offers searing insights on how to identify and exit everyday extremism and transform fear and hesitation into courageous dialogue that embraces dissent. If you’ve ever felt suddenly silenced or taken over by your own self-censorship, Trust Your Mind has been praised as “compelling, lucid and timely” by social psychologist Ethan Kross and hailed as “a bold call to think deeper and speak truer” by social psychologist Kurt Gray for how the book reinvigorates an ethic of pluralism at a time when respect for differing viewpoints is narrowing: Contradictory ideas spark hysteria and backlash—resulting in mobbing and “cancel culture”A “wrong” remark or comment, no matter how seemingly innocent, gets twisted and results in banishmentPolarization and pressure to conform to “the group”—friends, families, workplaces, and communities—fuels alienation and threatens the fabric of a connected societyTrust Your Mind guides you along the difficult path toward critical thinking and illuminates: The origins of self-silencing culture and how to counter the devastating loss of independent thoughtThe inner workings of critical reasoning and how to “come down to earth” away from everyday extremist thinkingHow to forge existential survival skills and what Nerenberg calls “an emotional backbone"  
  Communication has become increasingly divisive; Nerenberg calmly shows readers how to walk through discomfort, stay grounded in one’s own viewpoint while encountering opposition, and stay connected. To examine and communicate one’s own ideas—like a deep-sea diver, investigator or anthropologist—is a vital, strategic skill and exploration for individuals in the 21st century.

  Synchronicity - Nothing Just...

  Why do certain numbers follow you? Why does the right person appear at the exact moment you think of them? Why does a delay that ruins your plans later reveal itself as protection? And why does the world sometimes behave as though it knows more about your life than you do? 
  Carl Jung named the phenomenon in 1952. He called it synchronicity. But he described it without explaining how it works — and for seventy years, no one has filled that gap. Until now. 
  SYNCHRONICITY: Nothing Just Happens is the first book to propose a concrete engineering mechanism for how meaningful coincidences are produced. Not a spiritual metaphor. Not a description of the experience. A mechanism. 
  At the heart of the book lies the Dormant Template Theory — a model in which consciousness is the fundamental substrate of reality and the physical world is its rendered output. Within this architecture, synchronicities are not random. They are authored signals — embedded in the pre-structured template of your experience before you encounter them, calibrated to your awareness, and designed to evolve in response to your attention. 
  The model passes the test of quantum physics. The measurement problem, Bell's theorem, nonlocality, the fine-tuning of universal constants — each finds a structural explanation within the proposed architecture, more parsimoniously than standard interpretations provide. 
  Built on years of direct research into expanded states of consciousness — including documented contact with non-human intelligence — this book bridges the gap between rigorous theoretical framework and honest first-person testimony. Eleven chapters, constructed as a single argument, from first principles to personal field report. 
  This is not spiritual mainstream. There are no affirmations. No angel numbers. This is an engineering inquiry into the architecture of reality — written for listeners who want structure, not sentiment. 
  As Einstein said — God does not play dice. This book explains why.

  Buda's Wagon - A Brief History...

  The brilliant and disturbing 100-year history of modern terrorism and car bombs—the ubiquitous weapon of urban mass destruction 
   
  On a September day in 1920, an angry Italian anarchist named Mario Buda exploded a horse-drawn wagon filled with dynamite and iron scrap near New York's Wall Street, killing forty people. Since Buda's prototype the car bomb has evolved into a "poor man's air force," a generic weapon of mass destruction that now craters cities from Bombay to Oklahoma City. 
   
  In this provocative history, Mike Davis traces the its worldwide use and development, in the process exposing the role of state intelligence agencies—particularly those of the United States, Israel, India, and Pakistan—in globalizing urban terrorist techniques. Davis argues that it is the incessant impact of car bombs, rather than the more apocalyptic threats of nuclear or bio-terrorism, that is changing cities and urban lifestyles, as privileged centers of power increasingly surround themselves with "rings of steel" against a weapon that nevertheless seems impossible to defeat.
