    The first Christians were weird. Just how weird is often lost on today's believers. 
     
     
     
    Within Roman society, the earliest Christians stood out for the oddness of their beliefs and practices. They believed unusual things, worshiped God in strange ways, and lived a unique lifestyle. They practiced a whole new way of thinking about and doing religion that would have been seen as bizarre and dangerous when compared to Roman religion and most other religions of the ancient world. 
     
     
     
    Award-winning author, blogger, speaker, and New Testament teacher Nijay Gupta traces the emerging Christian faith in its Roman context in this accessible and engaging book. Christianity would have been seen as radical in the Roman world, but some found this new religion attractive and compelling. The first Christians dared to be different, pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable, transformed how people thought about religion, and started a movement that grew like wildfire. This book shows how the example of the earliest Christians can offer today's believers encouragement and hope.

    Many people are aware of the injustices Black Americans have suffered over the centuries but feel powerless when it comes to repairing the harm done. 
     
     
     
    The inequality remains even after laws and policies have been corrected. Calculating and implementing financial reparations will require large-scale government action, which can feel out of reach or overwhelming for the average person. Robert Turner provides an accessible guide for individuals and groups wanting to influence significant institutional action while also acting on their own to repair the effects of racial injustice in our communities, churches, and spheres of influence. Dividing into categories of individual, social, institutional, and spiritual repair, Turner offers the longest list of reparations currently published, with more than one hundred actions listeners can begin practicing and advocating for to help balance economic injustice, undo hurtful decisions from decades past, and rally public support for bold and principled legislation.

    Psychological manipulation refers to the use of deceptive tactics to influence or control another person's thoughts, emotions, or behavior to achieve personal goals. Unlike straightforward persuasion, manipulation typically involves hidden motives and is often unethical in nature. It can be subtle and difficult to detect, as it operates through psychological pressure rather than overt force or coercion. Manipulators seek to gain an advantage by exploiting others' vulnerabilities, creating confusion, and leading them to make decisions that may not be in their best interest. 
    At the core of psychological manipulation lies the manipulator’s ability to control or influence another’s perception of reality. This is achieved by distorting facts, using emotional triggers, or intentionally withholding critical information. The manipulator may use charm, guilt, fear, or flattery to establish control, making it hard for the victim to recognize the manipulation until significant damage is done. This is particularly dangerous because it often leads to a breakdown of trust and can leave the victim feeling confused, powerless, and emotionally drained. 
    Manipulation can occur in any context—personal relationships, workplaces, politics, or media—and often involves a series of calculated tactics. In relationships, a manipulator might use emotional blackmail or gaslighting to make the victim doubt their own perceptions or question their reality. In business or politics, manipulation might involve misleading promises, biased narratives, or using people as pawns to achieve a specific agenda. Regardless of the setting, the manipulator’s objective is the same: to gain an advantage or achieve a goal without the other party’s full awareness or consent.

    Yes or No? 
    Have you ever been stuck in the past? Running around and around only to find that you are right where you were in the beginning? 
    Have you ever fought so hard to break free only to be dragged back in? Ever felt like you couldn't be loved? Couldn't be cherished? 
    Have you ever hurt so much to the point where you were bleeding and crying, but numb at the same time? 
    That you were worthless and nothing, but refused to give up? 
    Did you answer yes? 
    Then come find the way out with Ashton, a renowned neurosurgeon, who was kidnapped, raped, beaten, and forced to kill. Only to find she couldn't escape. Until she fell in love with an angel. 
    Demons—the most dangerous creatures, and Angels—the purest of all beings. For Ashton Lure, a renowned neurosurgeon, these beings only existed in mythological stories. Or so she thought... And, when she found herself in the Demon Realm, she could only wonder, can I truly be free from him? 
    The demons weren't all bad, and the angels weren’t all pure, and somehow, they became a family—something Ashton had missed all her life. But just when she thought she could live without her painful nightmares, the dark past she tried to hide got in the way, threatening to leave her in ruins yet again.
