Beschreibung

Religious Persecutions explores the pervasive history of religiously motivated intolerance and violence, examining its lasting impact on societies across the globe. The book argues that religious persecution is not solely rooted in religious differences but is significantly intertwined with socio-political power struggles. Intriguingly, religious conviction, intended to unite and give meaning, has paradoxically often become a catalyst for division. From the Roman Empire’s treatment of early Christians to the Spanish Inquisition, the study contextualizes these events within their historical, social, and political circumstances. The book provides a detailed examination of specific historical instances, offering a synthesis of historical accounts, sociological analyses, and theological perspectives. It posits that understanding the dynamics of power is essential for preventing future atrocities. Beginning with core concepts and a theoretical framework, Religious Persecutions progresses through detailed case studies, each chapter focusing on a different period or region, culminating in an analysis of recurring patterns and implications for contemporary society.

Thinning Blood - A Memoir of...

Leah Myers

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by The Millions 
 
 
 
Leah Myers may be the last member of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe in her family line, due to her tribe's strict blood quantum laws. In this unflinching and intimate memoir, Myers excavates the stories of four generations of women in order to leave a record of her family. Beginning with her great-grandmother, the last full-blooded Native member in their lineage, she connects each woman with her totem to construct her family's totem pole: protective Bear, defiant Salmon, compassionate Hummingbird, and perched on top, Raven. 
 
 
 
As she pieces together their stories, Myers weaves in tribal folktales, the history of the Native genocide, and Native mythology. She tells the larger story of how, as she puts it, her "culture is being bleached out," offering sharp vignettes of her own life between White and Native worlds: her naïve childhood love for Pocahontas, her struggles with the Klallam language, the violence she faced at the hands of a close White friend as a teenager. 
 
 
 
Crisp and powerful, Thinning Blood is at once a bold reclamation of one woman's identity and a searingly honest meditation on heritage, family, and what it means to belong.

Invisible Wounds - Understanding...

John Boyle

You are not crazy. You are not weak. You are not broken. You are injured. And injuries can heal.
For decades, John Boyle looked successful on the outside—Harvard graduate, business leader, husband, father—but inside, he was unraveling. Panic attacks, emotional spirals, chronic tension, and a body that never felt safe followed him everywhere. What he never knew was that the source of his suffering wasn’t weakness. It was Complex PTSD, the invisible wound formed in a childhood home ruled by fear, volatility, and silence.
In Invisible Wounds, John takes readers on a vulnerable and deeply human journey through the reality of childhood trauma and the lifelong effects it leaves on the mind and body. With gripping storytelling, trauma-informed insight, and a faith-filled lens, he reveals how C-PTSD shapes relationships, sabotages confidence, fuels perfectionism, and quietly rewires the nervous system. Along the way, readers meet the frightened boy he once was, the man that didn’t have everything all together, and the survivor he ultimately became.
Blending personal narrative with practical guidance, John offers clarity for those who have been misdiagnosed, misunderstood, or told to “just get over it.” He explains emotional flashbacks, hypervigilance, people-pleasing, dissociation, and the physical symptoms trauma imprints on the body. Most of all, he speaks directly to the reader who feels overwhelmed, ashamed, or unseen.
If you have ever wondered Why am I like this? Why can’t I move on?, this book will help you name what hurts without judgment and discover the lifelines that make healing possible.
Honest, compassionate, and hope-filled, Invisible Wounds is a lifeline for every survivor searching for language, understanding, and a path forward. Start the journey toward healing today.
