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

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

Sinossi

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.

The Power of Potential - How a...

Tom D'Eri

Read by the author.
“A powerful, game-changing book. Tom's approach is changing lives.”
— Seth Godin, Author of This is Marketing
Discover how supporting employment for people with autism unlocked new ways of running a business—and revealed transformative lessons for all of us.
Rising Tide Car Wash in Parkland, Florida, isn’t average in any way. When Tom D’Eri and his father John bought the location in 2013, they wanted to create employment opportunities for workers with autism. Like 1 in 54 Americans, Tom’s brother Andrew has autism, and he was facing lifelong unemployment. So the family set out on a mission to provide professional opportunities for people like Andrew, starting with one car wash. Now it’s one of the highest-volume washes in Florida. Its employee retention rate is five times that of its competitors. It has spun off into two additional locations that have been immediately successful, and the business is absurdly profitable.
The Power of Potential tells the inspiring, surprising reason why: The wash’s excellence isn’t in spite of their unusual workforce, but because of it. Thanks to their neurodivergent staff, the Rising Tide team was able to discover and correct common problems that typically fly under the radar in businesses, including:You hire based on interviewsYou think great talent is the secret to a great businessYour managers are “good enough”You fire your worst employees
By spotting and correcting these hidden problems, any business—with any kind of workers—can achieve unexpected wins and leave average behind. At Rising Tide, solving these problems resulted in four unexpected wins that added up to a culture of excellence:Every employee felt safeAccountability became a tool for growthEveryone’s work gave them a sense of purposeCustomers loved their experience

What to the Slave is the Fourth...

Frederick Douglass

In 1852, Frederick Douglass, former slave and, by then, a leading figure in the abolitionist movement was asked by the Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Association to address the group for their July 4th celebration at Corinthian Hall in Rochester, New York.Delivered, in fact, on the 5th of July, the speech caused an immediate sensation and swiftly became a seminal rallying cry of the abolitionist movement in America. The audience in Rochester included none other than President Millard Fillmore (along with a group of politicians from Washington) as well as some of the most important leaders of the abolitionist movement at the time.Through the years, Douglass' powerful words have only grown in stature, resonance and importance. His timeless message and elegant prose have made this speech - here presented in its unabridged, original format - one of the greatest orations in history.

Thus spake Zarathustra

Friedrich Nietzsche

“Man is something that shall be overcome.” With prophetic fervor, Nietzsche draws us into the spiritual heights where Zarathustra, a solitary sage returning to humanity, delivers his blazing message. Thus Spake Zarathustra is not merely a book—it is a revelation. 
A cornerstone of existential and postmodern philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche challenges the very foundations of morality, religion, and social order. He exalts the will to power, the self-created individual, and proclaims the death of God with a haunting and poetic intensity. 
Journey through Zarathustra’s enigmatic teachings: the encounter with the tightrope walker, a fragile symbol of mankind in flux; the bold vision of the Übermensch, the human beyond man; and the perplexing doctrine of eternal recurrence, which questions the very nature of time and choice. 
A literary and philosophical landmark, this work has shaped modern thought and inspired generations—from Camus to Kubrick. Its themes remain strikingly relevant today: the search for meaning, the rejection of imposed norms, and the daring affirmation of individuality. 
This audiobook offers a deeply immersive experience. Enhanced by an AI-generated narration with crystal-clear diction and elegant pacing, the voice carries Nietzsche’s visionary prose straight to the ear and soul. 
🎧 Step into the abyss—and ascend. Download Thus Spake Zarathustra now and embark on a transformative listening journey that defies convention and awakens the mind.
