  Our families can fill us with joy or bother us with constant, even unconscious, power struggles throughout our lives. This new, revised edition of The Winning Family shows a new generation of parents exactly how to strengthen children with positivity and empathy by building instead of tearing down, and responding instead of reacting. Step by step, this beloved book teaches crucial parenting techniques that break intergenerational blame/shame/enabling patterns and help children develop skills to become confident, capable adults with self-worth and healthy self-concepts. 
  Dr. Louise Hart and Kristen Caven, a mother-and-daughter writing team, have packed The Winning Family with the latest information, helpful tips, and insightful personal stories from four generations. They present powerful, practical tools in a simple and easy-to-use way with inclusive language. As you abandon unhealthy, ineffective coping mechanisms, you will build

  - The ability to create healthy boundaries and structure 
  - Effective ways to instill self-discipline and internal motivation 
  - Skills for honest, kind communication to resolve and prevent conflict 
  - Positive attitudes that turn obstacles into opportunities for growth 
  - Emotional intelligence to better understand and process feelings, and 
  - The resilience to handle change and solve problems.

In fact, this book helps anyone who’s ever been in a family—because the same tools that build self-esteem in the first place can also be used to repair damaged self-esteem later on.

  "Mysticism and Logic" is a collection of essays by Bertrand Russell that explores the relationship between mysticism and logic. Russell examines the nature of religious experience, arguing that mystical experiences are not beyond the reach of rational inquiry. He also discusses the nature of language and how it shapes our understanding of the world. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on mysticism and the second part on logic. Russell's writing is clear and accessible, making complex philosophical ideas easy to understand for readers. Overall, "Mysticism and Logic" is an engaging exploration of the intersection of two seemingly disparate fields of study. Read in English, unabridged.

  What is Critical Race Theory? 
   
   
   
  It may be one of the most widely referenced issues of the day, but it's also one of the least understood. In its translation from the academic world to the general public, Critical Race Theory (CRT) has inaccurately become a catch-all term for anything related to race. But what does it actually mean, and how should Christians engage it? 
   
   
   
  Ed Uszynski—whose PhD in American culture studies navigated readings in Marxism, Critical Theory, and Critical Race Theory—carefully unpacks what critical race theorists seek to accomplish and what Christians can learn from them. Uszynski generously explores CRT's roots, context, and central tenets, revealing how its insights are used and distorted but also how they might benefit the church. With responsible answers to legitimate concerns, Uszynski goes beyond the surface to provide a reliable path of just discernment and cultural engagement.

  New York State was a center of industry during World War II. New York aviation companies designed many of the greatest combat aircraft of the era, and bustling armies of women and men helped quickly churn them out by the thousands. More than one fourth of all US warplanes came from New York drawing boards during the war. These planes saw combat service everywhere, holding the line in the deserts of North Africa and flying from aircraft carriers plying the vast Pacific Ocean. Others operated over the frozen tundra of Alaska and Siberia. New York aircraft flew tons of fuel, ammunition, and supplies over the treacherous Himalayan Mountains into China, relentlessly hounded enemy submarines and ships, and battered Axis strongholds all the way to victory.

  In 1877, the U.S. government ordered the Nez Perce Indians to leave their tribal lands in the Pacific Northwest for a reservation in Idaho. Though this mandate violated previous treaty agreements, the Army forced the Indians to flee. Led by Chief Joseph, they trekked over 1,000 miles while being pursued by the Army. Charles Erskine Scott White was present at the end of this fateful trek and recorded the history of the Nez Perce war, its conclusion, and Chief Joseph’s memorable surrender.
