Synopsis

In the United States, the land of the free and the home of the brave, there exists a hidden world of pain and suffering, a world where human beings are warehoused like cattle, stripped of their dignity and their hope: the American prison system.

This book is a searing indictment of mass incarceration, a system that has failed our society and our most vulnerable citizens. Through powerful storytelling and rigorous analysis, the author exposes the devastating human cost of imprisonment, both for those behind bars and for their families and communities.

The author argues that mass incarceration is a symptom of a deeper malaise in American society, a society that is plagued by poverty, inequality, and racial injustice. He calls for a fundamental transformation of our criminal justice system, one that emphasizes rehabilitation, restorative justice, and community-based solutions.

This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about justice and human rights. It is a call to action, a demand for a more just and humane society.

In this book, you will learn:

* The staggering human cost of mass incarceration
* The racial disparities in the criminal justice system
* The economic consequences of mass incarceration
* The failure of rehabilitation programs
* The need for prison reform
* The movement for prison abolition
* The principles of restorative justice
* The role of education, economic opportunity, and community engagement in creating a just society

This book is a powerful indictment of the American prison system and a call for a more just and humane society.

    For years, there has been no doubt that widespread consumption of meat is both environmentally destructive and morally dubious. A growing chorus of scientists, health experts, and activists champion the benefits of a plant-based diet. Nevertheless, change has been slow to arrive, and the chasm between our appetites and our collective well-being seems impossibly vast. We know we must transition to a more plant-based world. But what would such a world look like, and how do we realistically get there? 
     
     
     
    One group of people has been grappling with this question for decades: vegans. Once mocked for its hempy puritanism, the vegan movement has grown into a veritable cultural juggernaut. Yet visions of what our food system should look like continue to conflict. Is the healthful vegan lifestyle appealing—or alienating? Are high-tech meat alternatives merely a repeat performance of harmful fast-food values? Is modern veganism itself misguided—a wrong answer to the right questions? 
     
     
     
    In The Good Eater, Harvard-trained sociologist (and vegan) Nina Guilbeault, PhD, vividly explores the movement's history and its present-day tensions by grappling with the most fundamental question of all: Is there a truly ethical way to eat? What emerges is a fascinating portrait of how social change happens, with profound implications for our plates-and our planet.

    Flannery O’Connor is one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. Her novels and short stories—shockingly violent, absurdly comic, spiritually potent—continue to entertain, beguile, and transform readers of all backgrounds to this day.  For many encountering them for the first time, O’Connor’s stories of backwoods prophets and outcasts feel strangely nihilistic and dark. Others familiar with her letters and essays appreciate the deep Catholic understanding of sin and grace that animates them. In this new book, Fr. Damian Ference proposes a more precise lens for decoding Flannery O’Connor’s narrative art, one that originates in O’Connor’s own words about herself: Hillbilly Thomism. The author examines the various ways in which St. Thomas Aquinas and the philosophical tradition of Thomism shaped not only O’Connor’s view of reality but also the stories she told to help us see and know it.    Featuring an impressive array of biographical and literary evidence and extended analysis of her short stories “The River,” “Parker’s Back,” and “The Displaced Person,” Understanding the Hillbilly Thomist is an important look at the intersection of medieval philosophy and modern fiction in one of the most treasured artists of the American South.

    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.

    President Biden ushered in a dark winter of malaise across our great nation. He snuffed out Lady Liberty's bright beacon of hope and brought despair to the land. And now we stand at a time of great choosing. Do we choose the path that leads to freedom or the path that leads to tyranny? 
     
     
     
    We face difficult days, but not hopeless days. Together, we can restore the Republic and reclaim our standing in the world. But first, we must remember our roots and return to the values that made our nation great. A deep and abiding desire for freedom and liberty, girded by faith in God, is the essence of who we are. Those are the precepts that must be reaffirmed if America is to be saved.
