  The Battle of Midway: How Courage, Codebreaking, and Split-Second Decisions Turned the Tide of World War II
  
  The Japanese Navy had the upper hand with more ships, more planes, more momentum. What they didn't count on was a group of Americans who were ready to take risks.
  
  Just half a year after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan set out to wipe out the remaining U.S. forces in the Pacific. Their target was Midway, a tiny atoll they expected to take with ease. What followed was something entirely different.
  
  This book tells the true story of those four critical days in June 1942. It's a close look at the people, the decisions, and the chain of events that changed the war in the Pacific.
  
   Inside, you'll discover: 
  
  - The thinking behind Japan's expansion and where it started to unravel. 
  - What happened at the Battle of the Coral Sea, and why it mattered for Midway. 
  - The role of U.S. codebreakers and how their work shaped the outcome. 
  - A clear, step-by-step account of the battle itself from both air and sea. 
  - Key moments where things could have gone either way. 
  - Why Midway was more than just a win, it was a major blow to Japan's naval strength. 
  - How this single battle helped shift the direction of the entire war. 
  - And much, much more! 
   
  From quiet rooms where codes were cracked to the chaos of carrier decks, this is a story about timing, instinct, and what people are willing to risk when the stakes are everything.

  Mary Founder of Christianity

  A radical reassessment of the role of Mary the mother of Jesus and other women in the early Church 
   
   
   
  Despite the commonly held assumption that the Bible says little about the mother of Jesus, there are many indications that Mary preceded and inspired her son in fostering the emergence of a new faith community. In the Gospel of John, Mary instigates Jesus' first miracle, and in all four gospels she is present at the crucifixion, suggesting hers was a place of unparalleled importance in the Christian story. 
   
   
   
  Setting aside presuppositions based on doctrine, Chris Maunder returns to the New Testament to answer the question 'Who was Mary?' He re-examines the virgin conception of Jesus, Mary's contribution to Jesus' ministry, and her central role in the events of the crucifixion and the resurrection. In so doing, Maunder casts a thought-provoking new light on Mary and the women, including Mary Magdalene, who stood alongside her.

  Leibniz’s Monads - Because...

  Ever wondered what reality is made of? If you're thinking atoms, molecules, or maybe regret and caffeine, think again. According to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz—17th-century genius, calculus co-inventor, and metaphysical madlad—the universe is made of tiny, windowless soul-particles called monads. They don’t touch, don’t talk, and yet still manage to reflect the entire cosmos like cosmic disco balls of divine insight. 
  In Leibniz’s Monads: Because Particles with Feelings Totally Make Sense, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) returns with another brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, actually-informative tour through one of philosophy’s weirdest, most ambitious systems. From the problem of evil to quantum physics, ecology to ethics, this book unpacks Leibniz’s windowless wonders and shows how his soul-marbles still haunt modern science, spirituality, and your existential crisis at 2am. 
  Perfect for students, armchair philosophers, or anyone who wants to understand metaphysics without crying in German. 
  Inside, you’ll learn: 
  What monads are (and why they’re basically metaphysical Tamagotchis) 
  Why your soul is pre-synced with the universe like a divine group project 
  How this is somehow the best possible world (yes, even with all of… this) 
  What quantum physics, computer science, and modern consciousness studies owe to a guy who never left Leipzig 
  And why Leibniz remains philosophy’s most lovable, logic-obsessed optimist 
  If you like philosophy that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but still takes ideas seriously—this book is for you. 
  Warning: May cause sudden belief in soul-particles. Or at least very polite existential confusion.

  ★ Publishers Weekly starred review 
   
  "A top-notch Christian look at immigration, humane and full of heart."--Publishers Weekly 
   
  Many American Christians have good intentions, working hard to welcome immigrants with hospitality and solidarity. But how can we do that in a way that empowers our immigrant neighbors rather than pushing them to the fringes of white-dominant culture and keeping them as outsiders? That's exactly the question Karen González explores in Beyond Welcome. 
   
  A Guatemalan immigrant, González draws from the Bible and her own experiences to examine why the traditional approach to immigration ministries and activism is at best incomplete and at worst harmful. By advocating for putting immigrants in the center of the conversation, González helps readers grow in discipleship and recognize themselves in their immigrant neighbors. 
   
  Accessible to any Christian who is called to serve immigrants, this book equips readers to take action to dismantle white supremacy and xenophobia in the church. They will emerge with new insight into our shared humanity and need for belonging and liberation.

  In this searing new volume, Lynn Melnick dives head-first through concentric waves of personal and generational trauma with her trademark fearlessness. Evincing a complex mind shaped by the late 20th century’s misplaced priorities, Refusenik interrogates misogyny and anti-Semitism across time and a shifting global landscape—from a football field in Los Angeles to a Russian shtetl to a beloved daughter’s Brooklyn bedroom. Variously unraveling and allowing for intricate tangles of anger, nostalgia and love, these agile poems furrow deeper into the terrain of Melnick’s much-celebrated earlier titles, arriving at a profound and pressured understanding of what it means to be a contemporary American. Audiobook recorded by JBI Library for inclusion in the Yetzirah Audio Poetry Series (YAPS!).
