  When fear takes hold, we can feel powerless and insipid. Life’s spiritual battles become too much, and the devil seems to be winning. It does not have to be like this, though! We can, and do, have victory in Christ. Faith in the all-powerful one means that we are strong in him, even when we feel weak.  Jonathan Stephen writes with clarity and compassion to help us understand how the battle against the enemy can truly be won. He uses one of the best known and most dramatic incidents in the Gospels, the stilling of the storm. As he draws our attention to what Jesus is teaching through this ‘faith-training exercise’, we join the disciples in discovering that when we are buffeted and frightened by the storms of life we can not only endure but overcome.

  Colonialism and Imperialism -...

  This book consists of three titles, which are the following: 
    - The Colonial Legacy: Colonialism has been a defining force in shaping the modern world, leaving an indelible mark on political systems, economic structures, and cultural identities. At its core, colonialism is the practice of domination, where one nation establishes control over another, often exploiting its resources and people for economic and political gain. While the phenomenon of colonialism spans centuries, its modern form gained momentum during the Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries, when European powers began venturing across the globe in search of wealth, land, and influence. 
    
    - Imperialism and Its Legacy: The rise of modern imperialism coincided with the emergence of powerful European states, including Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and later Germany and Italy, who sought to expand their empires across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. These empires often operated on the belief in a hierarchy of races and cultures, with European nations placing themselves at the top, justifying their domination as a benevolent act for the supposed betterment of “lesser” civilizations. 
    - The Age of Imperialism: At its core, imperialism was driven by a combination of motives that included economic gain, political power, and a belief in cultural superiority. Industrialization played a pivotal role in shaping these ambitions, as European powers sought raw materials to fuel their growing industries and markets to sell their manufactured goods. The technological advancements of the Industrial Revolution, such as steamships, railways, and advanced weaponry, gave European nations a significant edge in their quest to dominate foreign lands.

  What are the politics of nature? Who owns it, where is it, what role does it play in our lives? Does it need to be tamed? Are we ourselves natural? In A Darker Wilderness, a constellation of luminary writers reflect on the significance of nature in their lived experience and on the role of nature in the lives of Black folks in the United States. Each of these essays engages with a single archival object, whether directly or obliquely, exploring stories spanning hundreds of years and thousands of miles, traveling from roots to space and finding rich Blackness everywhere. 
   
   
   
  Erin Sharkey considers Benjamin Banneker's 1795 almanac, as she follows the passing of seasons in an urban garden in Buffalo. Naima Penniman reflects on a statue of Haitian revolutionary François Makandal, within her own pursuit of environmental justice. Ama Codjoe meditates on rain, hair, protest, and freedom via a photo of a woman during a civil rights demonstration in Alabama. And so on with wide-ranging contributions unearthing evidence of the ways Black people's relationship to the natural world has persevered through colonialism, slavery, violence, and structurally racist policies.

  Between Square Buttes is 35 short pieces that chronicle the American West over the last 50 years.  It is bird hunting, fly fishing, dog breeding, dog trialing, decline of habitat, loss of access, but mostly it is the story of the greatness that still exists in America today.  It started as a tribute to the last best place, Montana.  But in the end, it may be the beginning of the end of the last best place.  Told anecdotally, it brings to life the rivers, the plains, and the dogs that hunt these vast stretches of prairie.  And finally, it tells of the changes in land ownership in the West as more and more of it is being eaten up by developers and new landowners from all over the world who want a piece of it before it all goes away.  Revel in the rare beauty and incredible richness through the eyes and understanding of a man who has been there and done that.  Between Square Buttes will make you happy, make you sad, lift your spirit and break your heart as you follow the life of a serious fly fisherman and bird hunter who hunted and fished the best when it was the best and left the rest behind in search of more rivers, and newer land to hunt.
