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

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

Sinopsis

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.

Golden Boy - Memories of a Hong...

Martin Booth

“A vivid re-creation of a lost time and place . . . In this quite wonderful book, Booth brings the Hong Kong of his youth back to life.” —The Washington Post Book WorldAt seven years old, Martin Booth found himself with all of Hong Kong at his feet. His father was posted there in 1952, and this memoir is his telling of that youth, a time when he had access to the corners of a colony normally closed to a “Gweilo,” a “pale fellow” like him.His experiences were colorful and vast. Befriending rickshaw coolies and local stallholders, he learned Cantonese, sampled delicacies such as boiled water beetles and one-hundred-year-old eggs, and participated in vibrant festivals. He even entered the forbidden Kowloon Walled City, wandered into a secret lair of Triads, and visited an opium den.From the plink-plonk man with his dancing monkey to the Queen of Kowloon (a crazed tramp who may have been a Romanov), Martin Booth saw it all—but his memoir illustrates the deeper challenges he faced in his warring parents: a broad-minded mother who embraced all things Chinese and a bigoted father who was enraged by his family's interest in “going native.”Martin Booth's compelling memoir, the last book he completed before dying, glows with infectious curiosity and humor and is an intimate representation of the now extinct time and place of his growing up.“Eloquent and engrossing.” —People“A grand adventure, seen through a boy’s eyes but remembered by a novelist with a sensualist’s appreciation of sights, sounds, and tastes . . . An extraordinarily happy book, filled with hilarious set-pieces and pulsating with Hong Kong’s vibrant street life.” —The New York Times

Little Women Podcast: Why...

Niina Niskanen

Self-reliance is often rooted in the idea that no matter the circumstances that you were born into, you can still make something of yourself and your life and leave a mark on this world. One of Louisa´s favourite writers was the German poet, Goethe. Goethe was born into great wealth, which eventually led him to challenge himself. Being born as a rich man caused emptiness. Some readers might notice that this is down to tee Laurie´s character. Goethe eventually found writing to be his calling, and he recommended work as the best remedy for a broken heart. In Little Women, when Laurie is in Vienna after he has been rejected by Jo and has been lectured by Amy, he's writing an opera which would quote "harrow Jo´s soul and melt her heart" But he just keeps seeing Jo in the most unflattering ways and soon Jo is replaced by a beautiful ghost who looks a lot like Amy, and Laurie sees himself as a romantic prince. I have seen about 14 Little Women adaptations, and this part of Laurie in Vienna has never been adapted, which is a problem. Laurie is flirting with this ghost for a while, and then he stops and for the first time in his life, Laurie realizes that what he's doing is silly and he remembers Amy's words. She took his hands and said that they were soft and white as a woman's and they had never done a day's work. Only picked flowers for girls and wore Jouvin´s best gloves. As a result of this, Laurie goes to work for his grandfather. Laurie's character arc in Little Women is not about Amy or Jo. It is the story of how Laurie becomes a man. In Louisa May Alcott´s world, the only acceptable wealthy people are philanthropists. With Laurie´s character, Louisa May Alcott criticised the people who are on the top of the class system.
