  For over thirty years, Opening the Hand of Thought has offered an introduction to Zen Buddhism and meditation unmatched in clarity and power. This is the revised edition of Kosho Uchiyama's singularly incisive classic. 
   
   
   
  This new edition contains even more useful material: new prefaces, an index, and extended endnotes, in addition to a revised glossary. As Jisho Warner writes in her preface, Opening the Hand of Thought "goes directly to the heart of Zen practice . . . showing how Zen Buddhism can be a deep and life-sustaining activity." She goes on to say, "Uchiyama looks at what a person is, what a self is, how to develop a true self not separate from all things, one that can settle in peace in the midst of life." 
   
   
   
  By turns humorous, philosophical, and personal, Opening the Hand of Thought is above all a great book for the Buddhist practitioner. It's a perfect follow-up for the listener who has heard Zen Meditation in Plain English and is especially useful for those who have not yet encountered a Zen teacher.

  ‘Hold Onto Your Guns’ is a powerful story about how faith and community can stand strong through generations. Written by Ralph Kinnel, this book traces the history of the Sinclair Church of Christ, starting with its roots in a small East Texas revival during the 1930s. What began with a traveling evangelist and a few faithful families grew into a congregation filled with life, purpose, and connection. The book brings to light the dedication of those early members, their struggles, and the milestones they reached together. It is a heartfelt tribute to the leaders, preachers, and everyday people who kept the congregation alive and growing. At the center of this story is a powerful message that guided many of its members: hold onto your guns. These simple words, shared by longtime member Gene Roberson, came to stand for strength, faith, and not giving up when times get hard. As the pages unfold, readers are invited to see the congregation not just as a building, but as a living story of people standing together. With warmth, honesty, and great care, Ralph Kinnel depicts how lasting change happens when people believe in something bigger than themselves. ‘Hold Onto Your Guns’ is a beautiful reminder that when a community stays united through faith and purpose, it can leave a lasting impact on the world around it.

  Crowned with Glory - How...

  America was founded on the concept of the innate and inalienable rights of humankind. Many Christians see an echo of the imago Dei--that every human being carries the image of God--within those ideals. Yet these rights were systemically withheld from the Black and enslaved residents of this country for centuries. Through it all, Black people have proclaimed the truth of their dignity and personhood in powerful and profound ways. 
   
  Crowned with Glory collects many of the writings of these men and women, both familiar and lesser-known, to shine a light on what has always been there: an enormous movement of Black Americans demanding the liberty they were promised and deserved. With moving and insightful reflections on these oft-forgotten or suppressed voices, author Jasmine L. Holmes offers a hopeful and encouraging testament to the power of unrelenting cries for justice that will strike a chord with anyone looking for a robust Christian history of resistance.
