  When John Ramsay dropped into the Schorfheide Forest, north east of Berlin in 1944 his mission had two parts: to locate and infiltrate Goering's Headquarters, then once inside to blow the safe and steal the Nazi war plans. As a Commando, John Ramsay was trained for the first part, but it was only as Johnny Ramensky, Scotland's most infamous career thief that he was qualified to do the latter. A THIEF AND A HERO tells the extraordinary story of Gentle Johnny Ramensky: the son of Lithuanian immigrant parents who went on to become a household name as the foremost safe-blower in the country. His daring escapes from prison would further endear him to the public and eventually bring him to the attention of the British army. When the Second World War broke, he was hand-picked to join the Commandos and rechristened himself Ramsay.It was there that he used his talent and bravery for King and country, parachuting behind enemy lines to crack the safes of key people in the German High Command; Rommel and Goering among them.Thief. Commando. Saboteur. Hero. This is his story.

  What’s the secret to becoming a successful, inspiring school leader? Learning how to unlock and support greatness…in OTHERS. 
   With apologies to the Navy Seals, professional sports coaches, and Fortune 500 CEOs: 
  Your leadership advice doesn’t always apply to what's going on in education. 
  Leading at school isn't like leading anywhere else. We should probably stop pretending that it is. 
  At school, we must serve any and all clients (whether they pay or not), it's nearly impossible to fire our people (we love tenure but there are downsides to everything), and we are often supervised by elected officials (many of whom have never worked a day in our profession). 
  From an extraordinary partnership between a teacher and an administrator, best-selling Otherful is the easy-to-read (and laugh-out-loud) book for those who’ve discovered that influence is mightier than control. Research-backed and practitioner-tested, it’s a brilliant resource for in-school PD, administrator leadership classes, and faculty retreats. Otherful reveals an ancient truth of leadership: the most formidable power isn’t force; it’s relationship building. 
   Otherful will give you the tools to: 
  ● Replace faculty complaining with proactive problem-solving 
  ● Undercut conflict through active listening and tactical reframing 
  ● Do less work, get better results, and be respected more 
   "DESPERATELY NEEDED IN EDUCATION... Otherful is NONSTOP TAKEAWAYS, ACTION PLANS, AND FUN with insights that defy the confines of school and will impact your work in any organization." -Greg Rosenbaum, Senior Director of SXSWEDU 
  "...AN EXCEPTIONAL BOOK...Kleba & O'Hara's book could sit comfortably in a business bookcase under leadership development." -Getting Smart 
  Don’t be selfless or selfish; be otherful

  As the church and as a country, we've often neglected and avoided addressing the impact and ongoing reality of racism. We've been more focused on order than justice, more concerned with social media posturing than solidarity, more committed to judgment than repentance. But God's people are called to more. We need to lead the way to true racial healing, solidarity, and justice.  
   
  Through enlightening history and eye-opening personal stories, Living Undivided will equip and empower you with the biblical, transformative tools you need to move from just hoping and wishing for racial justice to actionable change that makes a difference in your life and the lives of churches, neighborhoods, and cities.

  In the 200 years since Blake's death, the visionary artist, poet, and writer has become a household name, often beloved. Yet many struggle to comprehend his kaleidoscopic ideas; how they speak to human longings and the challenges of living in anxious times.Philosopher and psychotherapist Mark Vernon provides a fresh route into Blake, taking him at his word. Exploring this brilliant thinker's passionate writings, arresting artworks, and fascinating life, Vernon illuminates Blake's vivid worldview. Like us, he lived in a tumultuous era of war, discontent, rapid technological change, and human estrangement from nature. He exposed the dark sides of political fervor and social moralizing, while unashamedly celebrating love and liberty. But he also conversed with prophets and angels, and was powerfully, if unconventionally, religious. If we take this seriously—not easy, in secular times—then Blake can help us to unlock the transformative power of imagination.Written for both longstanding fans and those unfamiliar with his work, Awake! reveals Blake as an invigorating and hopeful guide for our modern age.

  Roger McKenzie, a towering figure in the British labour movement and internationalist journalism, reignites the radical tradition of African self-liberation, tracing a lineage of resistance from the heart of the empire to the frontlines of the emerging Global South. 
  He shatters the myth of freedom granted from above, exposing a relentless, global fight waged in the metropolis and the colony alike. 
  Join him on a journey from the foundational organising of the Colonial Seamen's Association and the League of Coloured Peoples to the pivotal battles against the Colour Bar in Britain, connecting the intellectual firepower and enduring activism of C.L.R. James, W.E.B. Du Bois, George Padmore, Angela Davis and Claudia Jones. 
  McKenzie investigates the Communist International's complex role, reclaims the radical potential of the Windrush legacy, and maps the ongoing struggle to lay a 'new Jericho road'. 
  This is a provocative, essential guide to the unfinished war for African Uhuru. It challenges you to see the interconnected threads of diaspora activism, Pan-Africanism, and class solidarity that have shaped and will define the fight for true liberation.
