    How should Christians faithfully engage with politics in an increasingly polarized and complex society?
Faithful Politics by Miranda Zapor Cruz offers a thoughtful and balanced road map for navigating this challenging question. Rather than prescribing easy answers or simplistic checklists, this book invites readers into a reflective exploration of ten distinct approaches to Christian political engagement, providing meaningful tools for deeper understanding.
In this book Cruz guides readers in forming a vision of citizenship that brings Christian convictions into political engagement while avoiding common pitfalls. Cruz also provides a measured, nonpartisan overview of different ways Christians have approached political participation. These ten views represent a range of theological approaches to the relationship between the kingdom of God and the country, including Anabaptist, social gospel, principled pluralist, and Christian nationalist. Cruz describes strengths and weaknesses of each view, with a focus on Christian faithfulness.
In Faithful Politics, you'll find

- Thorough Scholarship: Presents ten distinct approaches to politics, ranging from separatist to dominionist and more
- A Balanced Presentation: Offers a nonpartisan perspective while addressing strengths and weaknesses
- Scriptural and Theological Insights: Establishes guiding principles grounded in Scripture to help shape faithful political participation
Cruz observes that in the United States Christians with shared faith convictions can often reach differing political conclusions. However, Scripture and theology provide guiding principles that shape our thinking and remind us that our ultimate citizenship is in the kingdom of God. Faithful Politics invites readers to learn from Christians of the past as we discern how to be salt and light in our own time and place.

    Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, remains one of the most enigmatic figures in history. For over two millennia, her name has conjured images of beauty, cunning, and power. Yet the true Cleopatra is shrouded in layers of myth, propaganda, and speculation. She was not merely a seductress as often portrayed but a scholar, a diplomat, and a leader who navigated a tumultuous era in ancient history with remarkable skill.  
  
Born into the Ptolemaic dynasty, a Macedonian-Greek family that ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great’s death, Cleopatra inherited a kingdom in decline. At just 18, she ascended to the throne alongside her younger brother, thrust into a world of political intrigue and external threats. Her reign coincided with the expansion of Rome, a rising superpower that posed both an opportunity and a danger. Cleopatra understood that survival required more than military might—it demanded diplomacy, intelligence, and a mastery of alliances.  
  
Cleopatra’s personal relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony have fueled centuries of fascination and debate. While these alliances are often reduced to tales of romance, they were strategic partnerships forged to secure Egypt’s sovereignty. Cleopatra leveraged her intellect and charisma to influence two of Rome’s most powerful men, ensuring her kingdom remained a significant force in the Mediterranean.

    When do you become an adult? What does it mean to grow up? And what are the experiences that propel us forward ? or keep us stuck? 
 
As we get older, we pass many milestones, but for some of us it can feel as if adulthood is always just out of reach. 
 
Journalist and psychotherapist-in-training Moya Sarner goes on a journey into what growing up really involves, and how we do it again and again throughout our lives. She draws on case studies, as well as her training, and theories of child psychology, psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and more, to explore what it means to be a ‘grown up’ and how we can meet the challenges and opportunities of every stage of our lives.
