Enfleshing Freedom - Body Race...

M. Shawn Copeland

The achievement of our humanity comes about only through immersion in concrete, visceral, embodied relational experience, yet for many human beings, that achievement is stamped by the struggle against oppression in history, society, and religion. In this incisive and important work, distinguished theologian M. Shawn Copeland demonstrates with rare insight and conviction how Black women's historical experience and oppression cast a completely different light on our theological ideas about being human. Copeland argues that race, embodiment, and relations of power reframe not only theological anthropology but also our notions of discipleship, church, Eucharist, and Christ. Enfleshing Freedom is a work of deep moral seriousness, rigorous speculative skill, and sharp theological reasoning. This new edition incorporates recent theological, philosophical, historical, political, and sociological scholarship; engages with current social movements like #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo; and presents a new chapter on the body.

The Acharnians

Aristophanes

The Acharnians, one of Aristophanes’ earliest surviving comedies, is a sharp and entertaining critique of war and politics in ancient Athens. Written during the Peloponnesian War, the play follows Dicaeopolis, a weary farmer who takes matters into his own hands by negotiating a private peace with Sparta, defying the city’s warmongering leaders. As he enjoys the benefits of peace—wine, trade, and personal freedom—he faces opposition from the chorus of Acharnian charcoal-burners, staunch supporters of the war. Through absurdity, satire, and bold humor, Aristophanes challenges Athenian militarism and exposes the folly of political opportunism. Blending fantasy with pointed social commentary, The Acharnians champions individual reason and peace over nationalistic zeal, offering a timeless reflection on the costs of war and the courage to seek alternatives.

Bad Hombres - How Hispanics Will...

Steve Cortes

As Hispanic citizens rally to the political right, they will provide the economic, cultural, and political renaissance to save the American republic. 
 
 
 
Hispanics have moved materially to the political right in recent years—but why? What explains this marked and sustained shift? Bad Hombres details the radicalism of the modern Democratic Party, which has turned so many outcasts into political orphans. Steve Cortes provides evidence of the massive benefits of this Hispanic surge to the right. Cortes himself has been a key driver of this mass political movement, first as the lead Hispanic face of the 2016 and 2020 Trump campaigns, and presently as the primary Latino advocate for the New Right—patriotic populism. Given this vantage point, Cortes makes a powerful case that reveals how the teetering American nation will find a national rescue by entrepreneurial, tradition-minded Hispanic citizens.

Inspired Life Beautiful Death -...

Tom Nehmy

What if the pain of grief could truly be healed? What if love never dies?
For years, clinical psychologist Dr. Tom Nehmy struggled to help his grieving clients. Traditional therapy could offer support—but not the profound healing they truly needed. That changed when he discovered Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) Therapy, a groundbreaking technique that not only alleviates deep sadness but also facilitates extraordinary reconnections with the deceased.
In Inspired Life, Beautiful Death, Dr. Nehmy embarks on a deeply personal and scientific journey—one that bridges psychology, grief therapy, and the spiritual dimensions of life after death. Through vivid case studies and cutting-edge research, he reveals how IADC Therapy is transforming lives. Yet, his most powerful insights come from his own experiences—revelations that challenge everything we assume about death, consciousness, and the nature of existence.
This book is not just about grief— it’s about how to live. Drawing from the wisdom of those who have glimpsed the afterlife and reflecting on his own vulnerability, Dr. Nehmy explores what truly matters, offering practical guidance on cultivating love, spiritual awareness, and finding meaning in our greatest struggles. All the while he assures us our loved ones never truly leave us, we can heal from loss in ways once thought impossible, and our deepest fear—the fear of death—is the greatest illusion of all.
Whether you are navigating your own loss, seeking deeper meaning, or simply curious about what lies beyond, this book will challenge your beliefs, move your heart, and leave you with an unshakeable sense of hope.
