  Read by the authors. 
  Realizing how little control we have over our lives can make us fearful and anxious--or it can lead to greater intimacy with God, a richer prayer life, and a joyful eternal perspective.  
  Seasons of grief, pain, and loss of control are inevitable. Despite our best efforts and steadfast faith, reality rarely matches our expectations. In an unpredictable and broken world, how do we cling to a foundation that provides purpose for today and hope for the future?  
  In their new book, Beyond Our Control, Michael and Lauren McAfee show us how trusting God brings greater contentment than the illusion of control. With deep and abiding faith, the McAfees draw on their experiences with adoption, infertility, illness, and loss to help readers navigate unexpected circumstances. Offering biblical insights and their powerful story of pain and providence, Michael and Lauren know that no matter what happens--to their family, work, or ministry--everything is as it should be because God is in control, and he is good.   
  The McAfees help us:recognize the illusion of control and how it leads to greater anxiety;understand why glorifying God is the richest expectation we can have for our lives;realize that Jesus' pain on the cross brings hope and healing to the pain we experience now;practice the profoundly comforting spiritual discipline of lament, which makes room for us to process grief; anduse times of loss to make more room for God's work of growing and sanctifying us. 
    
  If you struggle to embrace the life you have rather than the life you wanted, this book invites you to find a deeper peace in God than you could have imagined.

  How States Shaped Postwar...

  The history of public policy in postwar America tends to fixate on developments at the national level, overlooking the crucial work done by individual states in the 1960s and ’70s. In this book, Nicholas Dagen Bloom demonstrates the significant and enduring impact of activist states in five areas: urban planning and redevelopment, mass transit and highways, higher education, subsidized housing, and the environment. Bloom centers his story on the example set by New York governor Nelson Rockefeller, whose aggressive initiatives on the pressing issues in that period inspired others and led to the establishment of long-lived state polices in an age of decreasing federal power. Metropolitan areas, for both better and worse, changed and operated differently because of sustained state action—How States Shaped Postwar America uncovers the scope of this largely untold story.

  We Don't Run the World - We Seek...

  Ronald Fleekop

  Hate doesn't come from nowhere. It is built — slowly, through language, through fear, through the very human need to find someone to blame. The question worth asking is not why it exists. The question is what it actually takes to dismantle it. 
  In We Don't Run the World — We Seek to Understand It, Ronald J. Fleekop offers a thoughtful exploration of meaning, psychology, history, and the enduring human search for understanding — including the role of Jewish thought and history in shaping questions of identity, suffering, wisdom, and purpose. 
  At a time when shallow narratives, stereotypes, and cultural confusion shape so much of public conversation, this book takes a different path. Blending psychological insight with historical reflection, Fleekop explores how people make meaning from pain, how history shapes identity, and how Judaism's long intellectual and moral tradition contributes to deeper conversations about human nature, responsibility, and coexistence. Along the way, the book raises larger questions about perception, prejudice, and the human need to make sense of a complicated world. 
  Drawing on the work of Freud, Frankl, Adler, Fromm, Yalom, and Maté — and on decades of lived experience across six cities, multiple industries, and a lifetime of paying close attention — Fleekop writes not from a position of authority but from a position of honest inquiry. He does not offer easy answers. He offers something more useful: better questions. 
  This book is for anyone drawn to psychology, history, and deeper cultural reflection. For those who have watched hatred spread and felt helpless in the face of it. For those who believe — stubbornly, hopefully — that human beings are capable of doing better than our worst moments suggest, for those who value understanding over simplification and thoughtful inquiry over easy slogans. 
  The misunderstanding is not where this story ends. It is where it becomes worth examining.
