    When most people hear the word "witch," they immediately think of crones conspiring over a cauldron, a force of dark and vindictive power. But to hundreds of thousands across the world, being a witch is a living, everyday reality, much more varied than the fairytale image. 
 
Witch Power follows Emma Quilty—herself a witch and an anthropologist—on an immersive journey into contemporary witchcraft, from Witchcamp retreats to "red tent" menstrual events, Voodoo priestesses running ghost tours from their vans to TikTokers casting hexes on a viral scale. 
 
Attentive to the history of witchcraft, she reveals the role power plays in how the figure of the witch has changed over time to suit the ever-present need to control and demonize women. Because to be a witch is to live in defiance of society's expectations and rules. 
 
But while the witch is always castigated as a threat, Quilty finds that the witch is never alone: the witch is a survivor and a symbol of resistance. Ultimately, Witch Power is a provocation and an invitation to listeners to experience with the author what it means to embrace witchiness and what witchy feminism could bring to your life.

    How can we build more accessible cities? Living Disability brings together vibrant perspectives on disability justice and urban systems.
		 
A musician and snow removal expert, a queer curator, a public pool aficionado, and a journalist turned city councillor — these are just some of the disabled writers exploring disability justice, analyzing urban systems, and proposing more equitable approaches to city building in this anthology. Essays and interviews push the conversation about accessibility beyond policy papers and compliance checklists to show how disabled people are already creating more inclusive spaces in cities of all sizes.
		 
Living Disability is universal in scope but intimate and local in focus, grounded in personal struggles and celebrations. Decisions about public transit, affordable housing, and park design all disproportionately impact disabled communities; by sharing stories and strategies, contributors consider the ways disabled thinkers and doers are embracing overlooked aspects of urban design and tackling the toughest problems facing cities. Each chapter provides context to welcome both disabled and non-disabled readers into conversations about the future of inclusion so that all readers can develop their own understanding of what accessible cities look and feel like. This book appeals to city builders of all stripes committed to learning from and working with underrepresented communities. It equips architects, designers, community leaders, innovators, and citizens with the key concepts they need to collaborate with rather than care for disabled neighbors.
		 
“Living Disability is at once hopeful and infuriating, solemn and joyous. The stories shared within these pages point to both the past and future simultaneously — illuminating the struggles and joys and history of disabled life, while putting access barriers on blast in a way that is more necessary than ever. The deep, rich work of this collection lies in its embrace of complexity, community, grief, and also its belief in the capacity of our world (read: us) to change. May these stories touch your heart, kindle the flame of your anger, and move you forward into fighting for the better world we all deserve.” — Amanda Leduc, author of Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space

    How can we share the Gospel and make disciples in our modern culture? Many people, including young people from Christian homes, are walking away from the faith, or have never had it presented to them in a compelling manner. However, our polemical, distracted media environment makes it difficult to have thoughtful discussions about anything. In this context, literature and the arts have a powerful role to play by providing an engaging and inviting way to share the Christian faith.  In Tales of Faith, Holly Ordway shows how literature—and especially old literature—can foster fruitful discussions that allow us to meet people where they are and help them move closer to knowing Christ, or to knowing and loving him more fully and deeply. Here, readers will find a practical, accessible guide to using literature to discuss topics such as the nature of God, virtues and vices, the Crucifixion, longing and sadness, and much more. For each literary text, Ordway provides an introductory essay, a selection from the text (or the whole poem for short pieces), questions for discussion or personal reflection, activities, and recommended resources.  Drawing from ancient classics like the Odyssey and the Aeneid and medieval masterpieces like Beowulf and the Divine Comedy, and providing both practical advice and spiritual guidance for the reader, Tales of Faith offers teachers, parents, and all lovers of classic literature an invaluable resource for sharing the faith through story.

    Retired and relaxing at the pool on a hot, sunny Texas afternoon was the perfect way to start summer early. Life was perfect. 
So they thought. 
Clark and his wife, Jamie, are the proud parents of two adopted girls. Clark is a Christian who became a believer in adulthood. His faith has been his guide and was the foundation of how he and his wife raised the children. 
Life was perfect. 
Suddenly, life was not perfect. In fact, Clark and Jamie lived Job’s life from the Old Testament. It seemed as if everything around them was being taken from them. Life was no longer perfect. It was on that hot sunny day in Texas when their youngest daughter was ripped away from their family. Kidnapped! 
This story is the true account of lies, deceit, delusions, and corruption. The belief in their justice system crumbled. Guilty! Before proven innocent is the new lay of the land. Evil is now disguised as what is called: “Protective Services” … Child Protective Services. 
This book contains true facts and events that have been carefully checked and documented. Only the names have been changed. 
Will Clark and Jamie ever get their daughter back? Or will they face more problems after challenging the system? What will happen to a disabled teenager lost in the system? Should Clark and Jamie just be quiet, or should they speak out? When did it become legal to kidnap a child? 
This big question is: Is it right for them to confront the regime? 
Life is not always perfect. 
However, they have a perfect God.

    The Beatles, an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960, became the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act in the history of popular music. The songs of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr scanned several genres, from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. As their songwriting grew in sophistication during the decade, they came to be viewed as integral to the development of the 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. This fascinating audio program includes actual radio commercials from the 1960s for the band.
