  "An inspiring starting point for Christians looking to put their beliefs into action."--Publishers Weekly 
   
  Political and cultural wars are tearing communities apart. Issues such as immigration, racism, and guns are driving wedges between people and hampering Christians' impact in the world. 
   
  In Empowered to Repair, Brenda Salter McNeil looks to the biblical story of Nehemiah for answers. There, she finds an action-based model for repairing and rebuilding our communities and transforming broken systems. 
   
  McNeil goes beyond theories, offering practical tools Christians need for organizing, empowering, and activating people to join in God's work of equality, reparations, and justice. She provides strategies to drive systemic changes that go beyond superficial diversity and teaches the skills needed to engage in this important work long-term, such as organizing people, leveraging resources, and avoiding burnout through rest, prayer, and self-care. 
   
  Learning from Nehemiah, readers will be emboldened to go out and help build congregations, organizations, and communities where all people can flourish and reach their full, God-given potential.

  The idea of sexual fluidity may seem new, but it is at least as old as the ancient Greeks, who wrote about queer experiences with remarkable frankness, wit, and insight. How to Be Queer is an infatuating collection of these writings about desire, love, and lust between men, between women, and between humans and gods, in lucid and lively new translations. 
   
   
   
  How to Be Queer starts with Homer's Iliad and moves through lyric poetry, tragedy, comedy, philosophy, and biography, drawing on a wide range of authors, including Sappho, Plato, Anacreon, Pindar, Theognis, Aristophanes, and Xenophon. It features both beautiful poetry and thought-provoking prose, emotional outpourings and humorous anecdotes. From Homer's story of the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, one of the most intense between men in world literature, to Sappho's lyrics on the pleasures and pains of loving women, these writings show the many meanings of what the Greeks called eros. 
   
   
   
  Complete with brief introductions to the selections, How to Be Queer reveals what the Greeks knew long ago—that the erotic and queer are a source of life and a cause for celebration.

  Dark Psychology: Exploring Manipulation, Persuasion, and Influence Tactics provides a deep dive into the often-hidden world of psychological manipulation. In our everyday lives, we encounter numerous forces attempting to shape our thoughts, decisions, and behaviors—sometimes without even realizing it. Whether it’s the subtle pressures of advertising, the persuasive tactics used in politics, or the manipulative behaviors in personal relationships, we are constantly influenced by those who seek to control or sway us. 
    
  At the core of dark psychology lies the study of these influence tactics. It is the exploration of how individuals or groups can manipulate others, often for their own gain, by exploiting the psychological vulnerabilities that we all possess. From the most subtle forms of persuasion to more overt methods of coercion, dark psychology encompasses the tools, strategies, and personalities behind these manipulative behaviors. 
    
  The term "dark psychology" refers to a set of techniques designed to influence or manipulate others, often for selfish or harmful purposes. These methods can be seen in many contexts—whether used by con artists, politicians, marketers, or individuals within personal relationships. Understanding dark psychology is not about becoming a manipulator; rather, it’s about equipping oneself with the knowledge to recognize when others are attempting to manipulate or persuade us in ways that may not be in our best interests. It’s about gaining awareness and taking control of how we are influenced by others.

  In RNJesus They Trust: Game Design, Your Time & Your Luck is a witty, sharp-eyed exploration of randomness in modern gaming — and how it blesses, tests, or exploits the players who kneel before it. From the ecstatic thrill of a rare drop to the soul-crushing grind of gacha pulls, game developers have turned RNG (random number generation) into a design pillar that fuels excitement and monetization. But where does randomness stop being fun and start wasting your time — or draining your wallet? This book unpacks that question across genres: MMOs, gacha games, roguelikes, shooters, and strategy titles. It blends game design insight with psychological analysis and a dash of sacred satire, portraying “RNJesus” as the unpredictable deity we’ve all prayed to at 2 AM. Whether you're a game designer, critic, or lifelong gamer tired of losing to the dice, this book offers clarity, laughter, and empowerment. Learn to recognize fair design, spot exploitative patterns, and advocate for gaming systems that respect your time — and your luck.
