  A leading scholar-practitioner and ardent proponent of culturally responsive forms of education, Jeffrey M. R. Duncan-Andrade aims to settle the debates over whether we should work toward a public education system built on the goal of equality, in which identical resources are provided for all students, or equity, in which different resources are offered in response to differences in student interests and needs. Duncan-Andrade centers his argument on the importance of creating meaningful education experiences for all students, particularly for low-income students of color and immigrant students, who have gained relatively fewer benefits from decades of equality-focused education reform. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on research from across a range of disciplines, including neuroscience, social epidemiology, public health, and social work, Duncan-Andrade introduces three essential domains of a pedagogy that are both culturally and community responsive: relationships, relevance, and responsibility. He enlists the voices of practitioners to provide grounded examples of what community-responsive pedagogy looks like in each of these domains. These examples demonstrate how equitable classroom practices can enrich student engagement, enhance trauma responsiveness, and improve educational outcomes.

  What does self-care look like when struggling to make ends meet, living with a disability, or navigating intersectional marginalization? How can you prioritize well-being while divesting from systems built to destroy you? The answer: Hood Wellness, a groundbreaking exploration that challenges the oppressive systems deeply rooted in health and wellness industries in the United States. 
   
  In a world where self-care is critical to survival, Gordon offers a revolutionary perspective that celebrates individuals' unique privileges, challenges, and desires. By defying the norms of multi-billion-dollar industries, Hood Wellness illuminates the possibilities that emerge when we prioritize well-being while divesting from harmful structures. 
   
  Hood Wellness is also a deep exploration of people forced to overcome harrowing circumstances with little more than communal support and the will to get well. 
   
  From terminal illness and police violence to embracing gender identity in a society that's attacking trans and queer rights, each story reflects America's extreme political, racial, and gender climates. Gordon challenges everything we think we know about wellness by calling out the wellness industry's inability to include those outside the margins of white, heteronormative identities. 
   
  This compelling book serves as a beacon, empowering individuals to cultivate resilience and self-love in today's world. As Gordon shares her personal odyssey, she intertwines the stories of others, revealing her profound discoveries, triumphs, and passions related to self-care. 
   
  Hood Wellness introduces readers to an inclusive and accessible self-care primer and an approach to well-being that holds the potential to bring about profound change in their lives.

  Self-Control is the foundation of discipline. This section emphasizes the importance of managing impulses, emotions, and desires in order to make thoughtful and deliberate decisions. Through self-control, individuals are able to resist immediate temptations in favor of long-term goals, fostering patience, resilience, and emotional stability. This virtue enables us to stay aligned with our values and navigate life with purpose. 
  Temperance involves moderation and balance in all aspects of life. This part highlights the need for avoiding excess and cultivating a sense of balance. Whether it’s in our consumption, actions, or words, temperance teaches us to approach life with wisdom, avoiding extremes and instead embracing a mindful and moderate way of living. It’s the key to maintaining harmony in our personal and professional lives. 
  Diligence is the steadfast commitment to working hard and persisting in the face of challenges. This section underscores the importance of being dedicated, proactive, and persistent in achieving our goals. Diligence is not just about working hard; it's about maintaining focus, consistently putting in effort, and never losing sight of the value of persistence, even when the work is difficult or seemingly unimportant. 
  Together, these virtues create a powerful framework for cultivating personal discipline, ensuring we can achieve our potential and live a life of meaningful accomplishment. With self-control, moderation, and diligent effort, we can master our behaviors, improve our habits, and live in alignment with our highest aspirations.

  Never Alone - Sharing the Gift...

  We have never been more connected—yet we have never felt more alone. Isolation is the great soul wound of our time. As Christians, we know that the church has a unique gift to offer a hurting world: communal life in Jesus. This gift has the power to heal our loneliness and isolation. It is good news for the lonely, the isolated, the struggling. So why does it often sound like bad news to those who need it most? Perhaps because we have misunderstood what the good news actually is—and how we ought to be sharing it. We have collapsed evangelism into offering a golden ticket to some postmortem destiny. But the goodness of the gospel we are called to share is about so much more: shalom, wholeness, and the peaceable kingdom of Christ breaking into the world. This is the gift of communal life in Jesus. A gift that re-ligaments us back together with God and one another.Never Alone unpacks how we can be spiritual guides who help people heal, love, and unleash imagination to create better lives and communities. We all can be instruments to bring healing and wholeness to people’s lives in today’s epidemic of loneliness and isolation.
