  The more you understand someone's history, the better you can see their humanity. This is true for individuals as well as for society at large. Race relations have suffered because of the erasure of important Black history and cultural context. As we fill in the gaps of our collective knowledge, communities can grow in understanding, empathy, and solidarity. 
   
   
   
  Terence Lester shares the buried history of the struggles Black people have faced against unjust systems. He tells powerful stories of courage, injustice, pain, and triumph, including ones from his own history. He also unpacks the sociological and cultural dynamics of unconscious bias and inattentional ignorance that keep us apart, and how they can be overcome. This honest account of what it's like to be Black in America paves the way for the church to move beyond showing support from a distance toward loving one another in long-term solidarity, advocacy, and friendship.

  God's Promises - Radical...

  God’s Promises examines how three radical religious movements—Christian Zionism, Religious Zionism, and radical Islamism—use scripture to justify political agendas, territorial claims, violence, and end-time expectations in the Palestinian–Israeli conflict. 
  In a concise and direct analysis, Rahim Elkishky revisits key passages from the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Quran, showing how verses are often taken out of context and turned into modern ideological weapons. The book addresses the promised land, divine election, prophecy, the Third Temple, end-time battles, and religiously framed violence. 
  Rather than treating scripture as a call to conflict, God’s Promises offers alternative readings rooted in context, logic, and the wider moral message of the three Abrahamic traditions. It is written for readers who want a clear reference point for understanding many of the religious arguments still shaping current events today. 
  A short, focused book for anyone trying to understand how ancient texts are being used—and misused—in one of the world’s most enduring conflicts.

  Do you find yourself confronted with the nagging feeling that you should be doing more, making better decisions, being a better person, and wanting more out of your life? 
  There is an old story about a farmer whose horse ran away. What bad luck, said his neighbors. Maybe, said the farmer. The next day it returned with seven wild horses. What good luck! Maybe. Then his son broke his arm riding one, and that broken arm kept him out of the army. Through it all, the farmer simply took events as they came. 
  How often have you gotten news and completely overreacted, only to see later that it wasn't that big of a deal? For thousands of years leaders, politicians, and successful businessmen have found help in an ancient way of thinking: Stoicism. This audiobook introduces its history and principles, then guides you into applying the Stoic teachings in everyday life. Inside, you'll find:Why Stoicism is an emotional Swiss Army knifeThe four virtues of Stoic philosophy and how they make each of us a better personEpictetus' instructions on attaining the ultimate goal of the Stoics, a flourishing lifeThe three essential disciplines for turning any situation into a learning experienceMarcus Aurelius' ten rules on dealing with people and our reactions to their actionsWhy a famous philosopher made his students carry a leaking pot of soup around Athens 
  Contrary to popular belief, Stoicism isn't about being unfeeling. Stoics process their emotions without letting them overwhelm their decisions, and that calm perspective on money and hardship is something anyone can build.

  Two leading public intellectuals and dear friends—one progressive, one conservative—explore What is Truth? and Why Does Truth Matter? 
    
  In Truth Matters, Cornel West and Robert P. George address a range of social issues on which Americans today are bitterly divided. Their book models robust intellectual engagement and civil discourse as they explore vital questions surrounding the idea of truth and its foundational role in our lives. Along the way, they reflect on social conditions—such as respect for freedom of speech—that must be established and maintained if truth is to be seriously pursued. They also explore the virtues—such as intellectual humility and courage—that must be acquired and practiced if we frail, fallible, fallen human beings are to be determined truth seekers and bold truth speakers.
