    Untangling the Sunday School Stories You Learned from the Biblical History You Haven't   
     
    · Biblical archaeologist unearths the riches of the historical and cultural contexts of the Bible 
    · Unveils God's Word as one glorious, world-changing story 
     
    When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories--Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks--with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events. 
     
    In Stones Still Speak, Harvard-trained archaeologist and theologian Amanda Hope Haley scrapes back 2,000 years of misguided cultural interpretations to reveal God's Word in its historical, archaeological, and literary contexts. Far from a dry academic exercise, this process explains how our misunderstandings developed and revitalizes the Scripture you thought you knew, with the greater purpose of encouraging a more intentional, rigorous study of the Bible in your daily life.

    Missy's Guide - How to transform...

    Weikel inspires readers to dance for the Lord in this debut Christian work.For a time when she was younger, Weikel turned to stripping to support herself and her daughter. The shame she felt—rooted in sexual abuse she suffered as a child—was so great, she needed to numb the pain with drinking and drugs. It could have been enough to keep Weikel from ever dancing again, but she found ways to overcome her fears and dance like no one was watching—well, except for one being. “There is nothing more powerful than dancing with our heavenly father,” writes Weikel in her introduction. “Feeling his presence and love as I move across the floor is the ultimate high. I finally shed the care about what others think and know how much God loves me.” With this book, Weikel hopes to help others who feel trepidation about dancing find their inner Ginger Rogers. Dance, according to the author, is a form of worship—one that doubles as a source of healing for the dancer. Through personal anecdotes, explorations of Scripture, and dance exercises, Weikel encourages her readers to leave it all on the dance floor at the next wedding they attend or even to enjoy a solo dance party in the mirror. Weikel’s prose is enthusiastic and mystical, full of accounts of personal rituals and attestations about hearing God: “Today as I lit the final fire of the year and began to think about how the seasons change, I was overwhelmed by what the Holy Spirit downloaded as I was sweeping up the mess that the wood and paper make. God said, ‘You are approaching a new season, and I know you have felt all over the place like all this dust and dirt you are sweeping.’ ” It’s a short book at only 50 pages (including several full-page black-and-white photos). While probably not for everyone, Weikel’s open-hearted, judgment-free approach will undoubtedly speak to certain Christian readers who want a bit more dancing in their lives.A slim, inspiring work rooted in the author’s practice of dance-as-worship.

    Composing Capital - Classical...

    The familiar old world of classical music, with its wealthy donors and ornate concert halls, is changing. The patronage of a wealthy few is being replaced by that of corporations, leading to new unions of classical music and contemporary capitalism. In Composing Capital, Marianna Ritchey lays bare the appropriation of classical music by the current neoliberal regime, arguing that artists, critics, and institutions have aligned themselves—and, by extension, classical music itself—with free-market ideology. More specifically, she demonstrates how classical music has lent its cachet to marketing schemes, tech firm-sponsored performances, and global corporate partnerships. As Ritchey shows, the neoliberalization of classical music has put music at the service of contemporary capitalism, blurring the line between creativity and entrepreneurship, and challenging us to imagine how a noncommodified musical practice might be possible in today’s world.

    Say It Louder! - Black Voters...

    A breakout media and political analyst delivers a sweeping snapshot of American Democracy and the role that African Americans have played in its shaping while offering concrete information to help harness the electoral power of the country’s rising majority and exposing political forces aligned to subvert and suppress Black voters. 
    Black voters were critical to the Democrats’ 2018 blue wave. In fact, 90 percent of Black voters supported Democratic House candidates, compared to just 53 percent of all voters. Despite media narratives, this was not a fluke. Throughout U.S. history, Black people have played a crucial role in the shaping of the American experiment. Yet still, this powerful voting bloc is often dismissed as some “amorphous” deviation, argues Tiffany Cross. 
    Say It Louder! is her explosive examination of how America’s composition was designed to exclude Black voters, but paradoxically would likely cease to exist without them. With multiple tentacles stretching into the cable news echo chamber, campaign leadership, and Black voter data, Cross creates a wrinkle in time with a reflective look at the timeless efforts endlessly attempting to deny people of color the right to vote—a basic tenet of American democracy.  
     
     And yet as the demographics of the country are changing, so too is the electoral power construct—by evolution and by force, Cross declares. Grounded in the most-up-to-date research, Say It Louder! is a vital tool for a wide swath of constituencies.
