  When God Became White -...

  When Western Christians think about God, the default image that comes to mind is usually white and male. How did that happen? 
   
   
   
  Christianity is rooted in the ancient Near East among people of darker skin. But over time, European Christians cast Jesus in their own image, with art that imagined a fair-skinned Savior in the style of imperial rulers. Grace Ji-Sun Kim explores the historical origins and theological implications of how Jesus became white and God became a white male. The myth of the white male God has had a devastating effect as it enabled Christianity to have a profoundly colonialist posture across the globe. Kim examines the roots of the distortion, its harmful impact on the world, and shows what it looks like to recover the biblical reality of a nonwhite, nongendered God. Rediscovering God as Spirit leads us to a more just faith and a better church and world.

  Servants of Allah - African...

  Servants of Allah presents a history of African Muslims, following them from West Africa to the Americas. Although many assume that what Muslim faith they brought with them to the Americas was quickly absorbed into the new Christian milieu, as Sylviane A. Diouf demonstrates in this meticulously researched, groundbreaking volume, Islam flourished during slavery on a large scale. She details how, even while enslaved, many Muslims managed to follow most of the precepts of their religion. Literate, urban, and well-traveled, they drew on their organization, solidarity and the strength of their beliefs to play a major part in the most well-known slave uprisings. But for all their accomplishments and contributions to the history and cultures of the African Diaspora, the Muslims have been largely ignored. Servants of Allah—a Choice 1999 Outstanding Academic Title—illuminates the role of Islam in the lives of both individual practitioners and communities and shows that though the religion did not survive in the Americas in its orthodox form, its mark can be found in certain religions, traditions, and artistic creations of people of African descent. This fifteenth anniversary edition has been updated to include new materials and analysis, a review of developments in the field, and prospects for new research.

  The Invisible Manual - How It...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  The Invisible Manual is a raw, intimate memoir about growing up autistic without knowing it — and the lifelong consequences of living in a world built for minds unlike your own. Told with honesty and precision, it reveals what autism in women truly looks like behind the mask: constant self-monitoring, sensory overwhelm, people-pleasing, and the crushing exhaustion of pretending to be “normal.” 
  From childhood to adulthood, the anonymous author shares decades of quiet struggle: missed signs dismissed as shyness, friendships that never made sense, invisible social rules, perfectionism that hid the truth, and the profound relief of finally seeing oneself in a late autism diagnosis. 
  This is not a clinical guide — it is the lived experience of high-masking autistic womanhood. A life spent compensating, questioning, and wondering why everything felt harder than it seemed for everyone else. 
  Listeners exploring female autism, late-diagnosed autism, high masking, or the lifelong feeling of being “different” will find this memoir deeply validating. It offers not instructions, but recognition — a mirror for anyone who has spent years searching for one.
