Blood on the Fields

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In the annals of American history, few names resonate with such power and poignancy as that of Nat Turner. His name is synonymous with rebellion, resistance, and the indomitable spirit of those who dared to break the chains of oppression.

Nat Turner's rebellion in 1831 was a defining moment in the history of the United States. It shattered the myth of the contented slave and the benign master, and it intensified the forces of change that would ultimately lead to the Civil War. Turner's rebellion was a watershed event in the history of slavery in the United States. It was the largest and most successful slave rebellion in American history, and it sent shockwaves throughout the nation.

This book tells the story of Nat Turner's rebellion, from its origins in the brutal and dehumanizing conditions of slavery to its tragic conclusion. It is a story of courage, betrayal, and the indomitable spirit of those who dared to fight for their freedom.

This book also explores the legacy of Nat Turner's rebellion. It examines the impact of the rebellion on the abolitionist movement, the Civil War, and the ongoing struggle for racial justice in America. It also considers Turner's legacy as a symbol of resistance and inspiration for generations of activists and freedom fighters.

This book is a comprehensive and authoritative account of Nat Turner's rebellion and its legacy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, the history of slavery, or the struggle for racial justice.

Addiction Trauma and Recovery: A...

Deepak Bhosle

This book offers a guided meditation journey to help people recovering from addiction and trauma. The book includes a variety of meditations to help with PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
Meditation can be defined as a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness, body scan or breathing – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm state.
Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences. It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain—they change its structure and how it works. These changes can be long-lasting and can lead to the harmful behaviors seen in people who abuse drugs.
Trauma is defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. It can occur when someone experiences an event that threatens their life or safety, or that of someone close to them. Trauma can also occur when someone witnesses or is confronted with events that threaten the physical integrity of others.
When it comes to addiction, trauma and recovery, meditation can be a powerful tool. This guided meditation journey can help you to let go of the past, heal your wounds and find inner peace. The first step is to sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to relax. Once you are relaxed, begin to visualise a safe place. It can be anywhere that makes you feel calm and peaceful. Allow yourself to sink into the peacefulness of this place. Breathe in the tranquil energy and feel it flow through your body. Feel your muscles relax and any tension melting away. Now, imagine that you are surrounded by a white light. This light is filled with love, compassion and healing energy. Allow this light to wash over you, filling you with its positive force.
This is an example of how we will help you with your challenges.

Hidden Healers - The Unexpected...

Stephanie Covington

A gripping and deeply-felt examination of incarcerated women's lives 
 
 
 
With unflinching clarity, Hidden Healers cuts through the myths about incarcerated women to expose the all-too-real brutalities they face within a criminal legal system never designed for them. Backed by three decades' experience providing therapeutic programs inside prisons across the United States, trauma specialist Dr. Stephanie Covington has used her unique access to amplify the voices of the women themselves. Their stories illuminate realities most never see: that most women who get caught up in the criminal justice system have themselves been victims of harm, that the degradations of today's prisons and jails only magnify their trauma— and that incarcerated women regularly risk punishment to tend to one another's well-being in unexpected acts of kindness. Grounded in research and rich with personal narrative, Hidden Healers is a poignant and riveting look inside women's prisons and jails—and what we can do to help.

Learning Our Names - Asian...

Linson Daniel, La Thao, David de...

What's your name? 
 
 
 
Asian Americans know the pain of being called names that deny our humanity. We may toggle back and forth between different names as a survival strategy. But it's a challenge to discern what names reflect our true identities as Asian Americans and as Christians. In an era when Asians face ongoing discrimination and marginalization, it can be hard to live into God's calling for our lives. 
 
 
 
Asian American Christians need to hear and own our diverse stories beyond the cultural expectations of the model minority or perpetual foreigner. A team from East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian backgrounds explores what it means to learn our names and be seen by God. They encourage us to know our history, telling diverse stories of the Asian diaspora in America who have been shaped and misshaped by migration, culture, and faith. As we live in the multiple tensions of being Asian American Christians, we can discover who we are and what God may have in store for us and our communities.
