Mornings When I Wake

Brett Alan Dewing

Mornings When I Wake takes the idea of responding to a book (in this case, Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm) and the "selfing" that arises from the interplay of spirit and text and takes the reader through it experientially, starting in the abstract and slowly moving to the rational. Made up of chapters named for the characters of Holy the Firm, Mornings When I Wake is an ode to Dillard's masterpiece and her overall oeuvre, borrowing themes and styles from many of her books. Put succinctly, it answers the question of what happens when a piece of art lodges in your breastbone.

Unsettling Truths - The Ongoing...

Mark Charles, Soong-Chan Rah

You cannot discover lands already inhabited. 
 
 
 
Injustice has plagued American society for centuries. And we cannot move toward being a more just nation without understanding the root causes that have shaped our culture and institutions. In this prophetic blend of history, theology, and cultural commentary, Mark Charles and Soong-Chan Rah reveal the far-reaching, damaging effects of the "Doctrine of Discovery." In the fifteenth century, official church edicts gave Christian explorers the right to claim territories they "discovered." This was institutionalized as an implicit national framework that justifies American triumphalism, white supremacy, and ongoing injustices. The result is that the dominant culture idealizes a history of discovery, opportunity, expansion, and equality, while minority communities have been traumatized by colonization, slavery, segregation, and dehumanization. Healing begins when deeply entrenched beliefs are unsettled. Charles and Rah aim to recover a common memory and shared understanding of where we have been and where we are going. As other nations have instituted truth and reconciliation commissions, so do the authors call our nation and churches to a truth-telling that will expose past injustices and open the door to conciliation and true community.

What If You're Right?

Dr. Emily Colwell

What If You're Right? shows you how to end self-improvement exhaustion and find you are utterly wise, mighty, held, and whole-despite feeling and being told otherwise.
Emily Colwell, MSSW, ND-a therapist and physician with a combined thirty years of experience-dispels the myth that we need to look outside ourselves for validation and direction.
The lens of wrongness is everywhere in our culture. It convinces us that cues from our minds and bodies are innately incorrect. We're told that being fearful is wrong, being anxious is wrong, having debilitating fatigue is wrong, and so on.
But what if our minds and bodies have been right all along?
When Emily shifted from seeing her experiences through the lens of wrongness to embracing curiosity in those micro-moments as she navigated chronic illness, thyroid cancer, changing sexual orientation, and childhood trauma, her life underwent a profound transformation. She started to see that her seemingly "wrong" feelings were the body's messengers, offering guidance and wisdom.
What If You're Right? will show you:
How to stop feeling like a relentless self-improvement project.How to update your relationship with your health challenges, parenting insecurities, body image and more so you can access the relief you've always wanted.How to pause the fight against parts of yourself, including anxiety and fear, that feel wrong, and instead discover how curiosity changes your experience.
What if it turns out your rightness is one micro-moment away? The micro-moment offers the invitation to pause and tap into your most powerful, ever-present ally, the one that's been patiently waiting for you to come home.Discover how right you are in a world that makes you feel so wrong.

Pickett's Charge - Eyewitness...

Richard Rollins

Constructed from first person accounts from Union and Confederate officers and soldiers, this military history is perfect for Civil War buffs.    At Gettysburg on July 3, 1863, Confederate soldiers launched one of history’s most famous infantry assaults: Pickett's Charge. Using the participants’ own words, Richard Rollins deftly reconstructs that momentous event. Separate sections cover planning and preparation; the preliminary artillery barrage; the charges of Pickett's, Pettigrew's, and Trimble's Divisions; and defensive actions up and down the Federal line. From the generals who devised the assault to the lower-level officers and men who bravely walked through shell and shot, Rollins offers a comprehensive, panoramic view of the charge, with more than 150 firsthand accounts—including accounts from Lee, Longstreet, Pickett, Meade, and Hancock—many of them long forgotten and previously unpublished.
