  1Night. 6 Women. 1 Jail cell. In this lyrical masterpiece by 2020 Sonia Sanchez-Langston Hughes award- winner Diana Tokaji, we hear the intimate stories of strangers, locked together for one long night. Meet: Baby, Alexa, Richmond, The Social Worker, Mudd - a teen, a divorcee, a sex worker, a social worker, a pregnant mom - and our grey-haired narrator who was just assaulted by the police.  This book is about a harsh reality Americans should know: "Up the hall wall for pat down, handcuffed through the succession of locking doors, and now this: I am told to sit... my left handcuff is clicked with the spin of a key into a tight iron ring on the metal desk. I'm not going anywhere unless I haul the table too." This book is about love: "The eyes of each woman remain in my mind like the nurse whose eyes I bored through to stay sane in my last child-birthing, whose name I never learned, whose actual face I never took in, only the eyes, not even their color, just the saving connection of them." 
  "Breathtaking. Raw, Brilliant. And beautifully crafted." - Deborah King, creator of regrowing our wings: Yoga for healing trauma 
  "Not just words on pages - this is a taste of what life is for many." - Debra Bennett, Executive Director, Change comes now 
  "I couldn't put it down." - Maria Washington, founder, mothers for justice united 
  "I laughed, cried, and truly connected with this story of injustice and humanity." - Nadia Salazar, community and labor organizer 
  "Tokaji has produced a mirror- everyone should read this necessary work." - Devi S. Laskar, Author, The Atlas Of Reds And Blues

  Theodore John Kaczynski (May 22, 1942 - June 10, 2023), also known as the Unabomber, was an American mathematician, serial killer, and domestic terrorist. A mathematics prodigy, he abandoned his academic career in 1969 to pursue a reclusive primitive lifestyle and lone wolf terrorism campaign. Kaczynski murdered three people and injured 23 others between 1978 and 1995 in a nationwide mail bombing campaign against people he believed to be advancing modern technology and the destruction of the natural environment. He authored a roughly 35,000-word manifesto and social critique called “Industrial Society and Its Future” which opposes all forms of technology, rejects leftism and fascism, advocates cultural primitivism, and ultimately suggests violent revolution. The following recording is from a 1999 prison interview.

  Our Daily Bread: From Argos to...

  Father Alex Frost, Alastair...

  A warmly funny, intensely moving and startlingly personal account of the lives of an urban parish priest and his parishioners.  
  Father Alex Frost was not always a man of the cloth. He found his calling while running an Argos store in his native Burnley, moonlighting as a stand-up comedian and die-hard fan of The Clarets and Depeche Mode. 
  But having achieved his profession, Fr Alex quickly recognised the 17,000 inhabitants of his new parish were in dire need of help. Burnley is typical of many towns across Britain: a place of run-down council estates, severe poverty litter, crime and drugs, but also a place where the sacred sits alongside the secular in an intimate and personal way. And so it was that he found himself running a food bank from a car park, helping the desperate amid his flock as the pandemic raged. 
  Fr Alex’s down-to-earth style of ministry struck a chord with people of all faiths, cultures and class at a time when the divide between rich and poor is widening cataclysmically. But amid the tragedy, addiction, appalling loss, illness and neglect, there also lies hope, joy and moments of comedy. Our Daily Bread is as much the story of the rich cast of characters that cross the threshold of any church as it is our vicar’s. Through them it shows the continued relevance of the church for those in peril: the poor and the marginalised. 
  This heartfelt and moving book seeks to give a voice to the voiceless, charting the tragedy and pain, humour and hope which are ever-present in his community. It is ultimately about modern poverty – and how we all can, and should, espouse Christian virtues of love, kindness, tolerance. 
  In Our Daily Bread, Father Alex Frost provides a raw and unfiltered look into the lives of those living on the fringes of society, their struggles with homelessness, and the power of volunteer work in alleviating their suffering. His spiritual journey, from managing an Argos store to becoming a beacon of hope for his parishioners, is a testament to the transformative power of faith and religion. 
  For fans of Richard Coles (Bringing in the Sheaves), Paula Gooder (Women and Men in Scripture and the Church), Rowan Williams (Passions of the Soul), Stephen Cottrell (Praying by Heart), and Colin Heber-Percy (Tales of a Country Parish).
