My Whirlwind Lives - Navigating...

Dee Knight

Our recent storms didn't start in 2020 or 2016. They started decades ago in the 1960s - a whirlwind of threatened nuclear catastrophe, then police dogs and rednecks terrorizing civil rights marchers down south, then Vietnamese children fleeing from napalm flames. Then draft notices to go to Vietnam to "fight commies." 
A small town boy started by supporting rightist Goldwater against the "peace candidate" Johnson, but rapidly changed in the face of the civil rights and anti-war movements, and started a quest that hasn't ended yet. 
This book tells Dee Knight's story of "waking up" to the truth about the US war in Vietnam, then refusing the draft and going to Canada where he lived for six years. It relates the years-long campaign for amnesty, in which Knight was a leader. After war resisters won a partial amnesty, Knight continued campaigning against US wars up to the present day. 
There are chapters on: 
The political storms of 1968 
Exile life in Canada 
The years-long campaign for universal unconditional amnesty 
Antiwar veterans and active duty soldiers and sailors, including the sanctuary movement 
Witnessing Portugal's "Carnation Revolution" of 1975 
Living and working in Sandinista Nicaragua 
Socialism and the Green New Deal 
"Messages from the Future" 
Reflections on the Pandemic 
The Battle to Expand and Protect Democracy 
Appendices on Vietnam's victory in 1975, and on the reality of life and politics in China

War Peace and Violence: Four...

Paul Copan

In a world of war, terrorism, and other geopolitical threats to global stability, how should committed Christians honor Jesus Christ and his Word? How should Christians think and act when it comes to church-state relations, the preservation of order, the practice of just peacemaking, and the use of coercive force?
In this volume in IVP Academic's Spectrum series, four contributors—experts in Christian ethics, political philosophy, and international affairs—offer the best of current Christian thinking on issues of war and peace. They present four distinct views:

- Eric Patterson, just war view
- Myles Werntz, nonviolence view
- A. J. Nolte, Christian realist view
- Meic Pearse, church historical view
Each contributor makes a case for his own view and responds to the others, highlighting complexities and real-world implications of the various perspectives. Edited and with an introduction and conclusion by the philosopher Paul Copan, this book provides a helpful orientation to the key positions today.
Spectrum Multiview Books offer a range of viewpoints on contested topics within Christianity, giving contributors the opportunity to present their position and also respond to others in this dynamic publishing format.

Merry Christmas?

Arthur Bailey

Merry Christmas? What if everything you thought you knew about one of the most popular world holidays was not exactly what you have been told? Would you accept this new information or would you reject it?Like the teachings of Yeshua Messiah that were rejected by the majority, the origins of the world’s favorite holiday are typically met with disbelief or overt dismissal. But the Almighty tells us in the Bible (and sometimes to the ears who will hear) that man-made holidays or so-called “holy” days do not honor him. So how did holidays that are not in the Bible and were never commanded by the Most High God become incorporated into churches? How has the entire world been deceived? What about those who are trying to be “politically correct”? Is Jesus the reason for the season? Should “Christ” be in Christmas? Explore the fascinating and sometimes shocking origins of Christmas and many of its popular traditions in this easy-to-read booklet that you will be unable to put down. But once you do, how will you deal with what you know moving forward? The answer is of course, up to you!

BOOK OF OLD LOVE THE - Old Love

Ommie

Love and kindness give life light; it is what we all lean on when the days seem unforgiving, but especially when everything is giving. We can't fully paint the feeling in words. This is because true happiness is infinite and has no bounds to be quantified in expressions. It comes from deep within and makes everything make sense in a way that is incomprehensible. Simply, it tries to wear the face and the heart of the person experiencing the emotion. That's all we can do: embrace it in its simplicity. This body of work tries to capture that simplicity in the simplest way possible, for hearts and souls.
