    Soar into the untold story of the heroes who defied gravity and racism. 
    In Wings of Justice, bestselling author Davis Truman delivers a gripping, emotionally charged tribute to the legendary Tuskegee Airmen, America’s first Black military pilots, who not only fought against the Axis powers during World War II but also challenged the deep-rooted injustice of segregation at home. 
    With vivid storytelling and powerful historical insight, this book follows the Airmen from the segregated airfields of Tuskegee, Alabama, to the skies over war-torn Europe. As they battled enemies abroad and prejudice within the ranks, these brave men rewrote the narrative of American heroism. 
    More than a story of war, this is a story of triumph, of courage, resilience, and the fight for equality. Wings of Justice will leave you inspired, enraged, and ultimately hopeful. It’s a must-read for anyone who believes in the power of history to shape a more just future. 
    History remembered. Justice reclaimed. Heroes are never forgotten.

    On the Purpose of Hating

    'I like solitude, when I give myself up to it, for the sake of solitude.'
    
    A deeply insightful take on how hate and insecurity can be intertwined, and an endearing love letter to the natural world, 'On the Purpose of Hating' is one of the most renowned essays from the brilliant mind of William Hazlitt.
    
    In 'On the Purpose of Hating', Hazlitt explores the complexities of hatred. He compellingly argues that hatred can have a self-destructive edge, and can do just as much harm to the person who harbours it as the subject of it. At its heart, hatred is merely a coping mechanism to manage our own shortcomings.
    William Hazlitt (1778 – 1830) was an English essayist, social commentator and literary critic. Largely considered one of the best essayists of his time, and having befriended other literary giants such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats and Charles Lamb, Hazlitt was a prolific writer, penning articles and periodicals until his death.

    No prodigal is beyond the reach of God.   Do you have a child who has walked away from Jesus? Or have you walked away from Him yourself? Hope Lies Ahead captures the candid journey of a prodigal son’s return, written from the unique perspective of both the father who prayed and the son who struggled. Told together, their story will encourage you through the honesty of their pain and their compelling experience of God’s redemption.    Amid the heartache of watching his teenage son self-destruct and the realization that all he could do was pray, pastor James Banks wrote the popular book Prayers for Prodigals. At a low point, Geoffrey Banks recognized that life could be better, and he sensed Jesus calling him back. Now, Hope Lies Ahead tells the powerful story of God’s faithfulness to answer prayer and of the healing found in Him.    No matter what you’re struggling with—whether it’s you or a child who has abandoned faith or faces addiction or prison—you are not alone. There is hope in Jesus, who makes all things new.
