  Have you ever found a lost love you never knew you had?

  A chance encounter provides a new opportunity for the author to really see  
  and be seen, to be heard and understood. These poems are about everyday observations that help teach what it is to experience loss and grief, endure longing and uncertainty, face the challenge of self-discovery and acceptance, and enjoy the deep satisfaction of finding home and genuine connection.  
    
  In Beyond All Knowing we experience love’s transformative power: to make the ordinary extraordinary by collapsing space, time and distance into shining moments of quiet joy.

  7 Seconds to Die - A Military...

  A military study of the 2020 war between Armenia and Azerbaijan—the first war in history won primarily by unmanned systems. 
   
  Fought over the course of forty-four days, the Second Nagorno-Karabakh war resulted in a decisive military victory for Azerbaijan. Armenia lost even though they controlled the high ground in a mountainous region that favored traditional defense. In 7 Seconds to Die, military consultant and historian John Antal examines the decisive factors of the war and their implications for the future of armed conflict. 
   
  The fact that Azerbaijan won the war is not extraordinary, considering the correlation of forces arrayed against Armenia. What is exceptional is that this was the first modern war primarily decided by unmanned weapons. The Turkish-made BAYRAKTAR TB2 Unmanned Air Combat Vehicle (UCAV) and the Israeli-made HAROP Loitering Munition (LM) dominated the fighting and provided Azerbaijan with a war-winning advantage.

  Jewish Food Traditions - A...

  Jewish cuisine is a rich tapestry woven from centuries of history, migration, and adaptation. Rooted in biblical traditions and shaped by the diverse cultures of the Jewish diaspora, it reflects not only religious laws but also the unique influences of the lands where Jewish communities have settled. From the ancient meals mentioned in the Torah to the diverse dishes found in Jewish homes today, the evolution of Jewish food is a story of resilience, preservation, and adaptation. 
  The origins of Jewish cuisine can be traced back to the foods consumed in biblical times. The Torah and Talmud contain numerous references to ingredients and meals that were staples of early Jewish life. Grains, olives, figs, dates, and lentils were essential components of the diet, often accompanied by goat’s milk, honey, and fish. Meat was consumed in accordance with strict kosher laws, which dictated which animals could be eaten and how they should be slaughtered and prepared. These dietary guidelines, known as kashrut, continue to define Jewish cooking and eating practices today, ensuring that food remains a fundamental part of religious and cultural identity. 
  As Jewish communities spread across the world, their cuisine was influenced by local flavors and cooking techniques. The dispersal of Jewish populations following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE led to the formation of distinct culinary traditions. Ashkenazi Jews, who settled in Central and Eastern Europe, incorporated ingredients such as potatoes, cabbage, and beets, which were common in the region. Meanwhile, Sephardic Jews, who lived in Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East, embraced the bold spices, fresh herbs, and rich stews characteristic of Mediterranean and Arabic cuisines.

  Reparations - A Christian Call...

  Christians are awakening to the legacy of racism in America like never before. While public conversations regarding the realities of racial division and inequalities have surged in recent years, so has the public outcry to work toward the long-awaited healing of these wounds. But American Christianity, with its tendency to view the ministry of reconciliation as its sole response to racial injustice, and its isolation from those who labor most diligently to address these things, is underequipped to offer solutions. Because of this, the church needs a new perspective on its responsibility for the deep racial brokenness at the heart of American culture and on what it can do to repair that brokenness. 
   
   
   
  This book makes a compelling historical and theological case for the church's obligation to provide reparations for the oppression of African Americans. Duke Kwon and Gregory Thompson articulate the church's responsibility for its promotion and preservation of white supremacy throughout history, investigate the Bible's call to repent and make restitution, and offer concrete examples of the work of reparation at the local level. They lead listeners toward a moral imagination that views reparations as a long-overdue and necessary step in our collective journey toward healing and wholeness.
