    Asian Americans know the pain of being called names that deny our humanity. We may toggle back and forth between different names as a survival strategy. But it's a challenge to discern what names reflect our true identities as Asian Americans and as Christians. In an era when Asians face ongoing discrimination and marginalization, it can be hard to live into God's calling for our lives. 
     
     
     
    Asian American Christians need to hear and own our diverse stories beyond the cultural expectations of the model minority or perpetual foreigner. A team from East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian backgrounds explores what it means to learn our names and be seen by God. They encourage us to know our history, telling diverse stories of the Asian diaspora in America who have been shaped and misshaped by migration, culture, and faith. As we live in the multiple tensions of being Asian American Christians, we can discover who we are and what God may have in store for us and our communities.

    "Beware of the Narcissist: Mastering the Art of Identifying and Counteracting Narcissism in Relationships and in One Self" uniquely merges two insightful books into one indispensable guide, offering a comprehensive understanding of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) from both an interpersonal and personal standpoint. This two-in-one volume, authored by Michael Wright and Larry Tate, becomes an essential tool for navigating the complexities of narcissism. 
    In the first part of this combined edition, "Narcissism Decoded" by Michael Wright, the focus is on the dynamics of NPD in relationships. Wright offers a detailed exploration of how narcissists' self-centered behavior impacts their partners, providing readers with the knowledge to identify narcissistic traits, understand their origins, and tackle the difficulties that arise in such relationships. The book also shares critical advice on coping strategies, recognizing toxic relationship patterns, and explores available treatments for those involved with narcissists. 
    Complementing this, the second part, "Are You a Narcissist?" by Larry Tate, invites readers to reflect inwardly. It serves as an ultimate guide to self-assessment for narcissistic traits, offering a mirror to those who might be sliding towards narcissistic personality disorder. Tate's insightful analysis covers the repercussions of an inflated self-image on personal relationships, the challenges in professional environments, and the darker aspects of narcissism, including rage and contempt. 
    Together, these books provide a dual perspective on narcissism. "Beware of the Narcissist" is more than a guide; it's a deep dive into understanding and mitigating the impacts of narcissistic behaviors in relationships and within oneself.
