Healing Conversations on Race - Four Key Practices from Scripture and Psychology

Veola Vazquez, Joshua Knabb, Charles Lee-Johnson, Krystal Hays

Maison d'édition: IVP Academic

Synopsis

Race complicates our relationships, even when we reject racism and seek to walk a better path together. How can we get our thinking—and our conversations—unstuck from entrenched patterns? In this book, four experts in psychology and social work present a model for how to build and deepen the cross-race relationships we want.
The starting place, they testify, must be a biblical understanding of the problem of racial disunity, grounded in the grand narrative of Scripture, followed by practical insights about psychology and social behavior. This book is the culmination of professional—but also deeply personal—conversations the authors have had with each other, wrestling together over current events, their own stories, and their roles in the healing process. They combine biblical teachings with psychological science to help Christians develop the skills to discuss race and ethnicity.
In each chapter, you will be guided through essential information, biblical examples, case studies, activities, and journaling exercises to prepare you to practice healing conversations. Using research from psychology, attachment theory, and emotionally focused therapy, this process will build your knowledge, self-awareness, other-awareness, and specific relational skills.
Jesus embodied love, challenged injustice, welcomed those rejected by society, and engaged in healing conversations with everyone he encountered. The insights and practices in Healing Conversations on Race will help Christians grow in Christlikeness and follow his example.

Stop Being So Self-Conscious:...

Rowan E. Sages

Why do you feel watched, judged, and unable to relax around others? This audiobook explains the hidden emotional patterns behind self-consciousness and social anxiety.
 
You walk into a room… And suddenly, you feel it.
 
Everyone is watching. You don’t know where to stand. What to say. How you’re coming across.
 
So you overthink. You shrink. You try to “get it right.”
 
And you still can’t relax.
 
In Stop Being So Self-Conscious, you’ll uncover why being around people can feel so uncomfortable—and what your mind is trying to protect you from.
 
This isn’t about “being more confident.” It’s about understanding why being seen feels unsafe in the first place.
 
Inside, you’ll discover:

 
Why you feel judged—even when no one is judging you

 
The hidden emotional pattern behind self-consciousness

 
Why your body reacts before your mind can catch up

 
Where this pattern comes from (and why it stuck)

 
The real cost of constantly monitoring yourself


 
If you’ve ever thought:

 
“Why can’t I just relax around people?”

 
“Why do I feel so aware of myself all the time?”

 
“Why do I care so much about what others think?”


 
This audiobook will help you finally understand why.
 
Because self-consciousness isn’t weakness. It’s protection.
 
And once you see it clearly—you can begin to loosen it.

Pleasure of Thinking - Essays

Wang Xiaobo

An essay collection on the importance of critical thought, from one of the foremost Chinese intellectuals of the 1990s. 
 
  
 
Wang Xiaobo's Pleasure of Thinking is an essay collection as riotous as it is contemplative. Between rollicking anecdotes about living between the East and West and serious musings on the intellectual situations at home and abroad, Xiaobo examines modern life with the levity missing from so much of today's politico-cultural discourse. 
 
 
  
In "The Maverick Pig," he considers the existential differences between humans and livestock. In "Tales From Abroad: Food," he recounts the culture shock of discovering American diets while studying at Carnegie Mellon. Several pieces focus on literature, with notable essays devoted to Italo Calvino, Bertrand Russell, and Ernest Hemingway, whom Xiaobo admired greatly. Others are more personal in nature, ranging from a meditation on getting mugged, to the consideration of the question: why do I write? 
 
 
  
Controversial, hilarious, and inimitable, Pleasure of Thinking is a delightful celebration of Wang Xiaobo's unique critical perspective.

Napoleon’s Great Escapes: The...

Editors Charles River

In addition to being unable to be reinforced or supplied by sea, Napoleon's ambitions to establish a permanent presence in Egypt were further frustrated by a number of uprisings. Early in 1799, Napoleon advanced against France’s erstwhile enemy, the Ottoman Empire, invading modern Syria (then the province of Damascus) and conquering the cities of Gaza, Jaffa, Arish and Haifa. However, with the plague running rampant through his army and his lines of supply from Egypt stretched dangerously thin, Napoleon was unable to destroy the fortified city of Acre and was forced to retreat. The retreat cost him almost all of his wounded as, harassed by enemy forces, he was forced to abandon most of his casualties to the Ottomans’ mercy, or lack thereof. Most of the wounded were tortured and beheaded. Napoleon harbored all kinds of delusions about his time in Egypt that were not based in reality, but he definitely left a lasting legacy in the region, one he would never live to see or appreciate. By shifting the theater of operations to Africa and the Middle East, Napoleon inadvertently ensured the Europeans would fight there in the future.
Of all the incredible military feats Napoleon accomplished, none were more impressive than his escape from Elba and his return to France, which was literally a bloodless revolution. On February 26, 1815, Napoleon escaped from Elba, and in a desperate gamble, he landed on the French mainland with less than a thousand men and marched on Paris. What happened next was truly remarkable. An infantry regiment was sent to intercept Napoleon and his men, but Napoleon rode up to them alone and shouted, "Here I am. Kill your Emperor, if you wish." Upon seeing their once invincible leader before them, the soldiers mutinied and went over to his side en masse. Other corps soon followed, and in no time at all Napoleon found himself at the head of an army marching on Paris.
