  God Is in the Details (and So Is Thomas Aquinas): How to Weaponize Aristotle for the Church and Still Be Canonized 
  Ever wanted to read 3,000 pages of systematic theology written by a man who thought angel transportation was a valid academic subject? No? Great—this book is for you. 
  This is not a polite introduction to Thomas Aquinas. This is a fully sarcastic, gloriously disrespectful roast of the chubbiest, holiest overachiever in Catholic history—a Dominican friar who took Aristotle’s metaphysics, added Latin, guilt, and divine purpose, and built the intellectual operating system of the Catholic Church. 
  Inside, you’ll find: 
  A breakdown of Aquinas’ Five Ways to Prove God Exists (spoiler: it's always God) 
  An introduction to natural law, also known as “why everything you enjoy is probably a sin” 
  His obsession with angel hierarchies, because theology needed a Pokémon-style ranking system 
  The Summa Theologica, or what happens when you try to explain God using spreadsheet logic and footnote warfare 
  Why Aquinas is still being cited in modern debates about abortion, bioethics, transubstantiation, and leggings 
  From his flaming-stick celibacy defense to the fact that he nearly out-argued Augustine with a smile, Aquinas is the blueprint for theological overachievement—and this book is the spiritual field guide you didn’t know you needed. 
  Perfect for: 
  Recovering theology majors 
  Catholic guilt survivors 
  Philosophy nerds who love a good roast 
  Anyone trying to understand how Aquinas still dominates moral debates despite being very, very dead 
  Come for the metaphysics, stay for the footnote-based moral mic drops. 
  Thomas Aquinas: he came, he theologized, he canonized himself through sheer force of logic.

  After a decade-long relationship with a dominatrix he called Daddy, Emerson Whitney had begun to crave something besides submission. It came as a full surprise‚ submission had been so central to his early adulthood, to his trans identity. Dizzied by new questions of control and aging, and living in a tent while his relationship ends, Emerson stumbles upon an advertisement for a storm-chasing tour. For thrill seekers, it says. Unsure what else to do, he signs up.Daddy Boy follows Emerson as he packs into a van full of strangers and drives up and down the country‚ staying in Days Inns and eating bags of carrots from Walmart and wanting nothing more than to surrender to the force of a colossal storm. We had no idea where we were going, Emerson writes, ‚ just waiting for one cloud to pop. Roaming the prairie landscape of his childhood, Emerson recalls his adoptive dad, Hank‚ unflinching and extremely Texan, and his biological dad, who was rarely around. From the van's trash-strewn back seat, and in the face of these looming figures, Emerson begins to wonder: Did he want to be Daddy now?
