Terrorist Attacks on American...

J. Michael Martinez

Understanding the context of terrorism requires a trek through history, in this case the history of terrorist activity in the United States since the Civil War.  Because the topic is large and complex, Terrorists Attacks on American Soil: From the Civil War to the Present does not claim to be an exhaustive history of terrorism or the definitive account of how and why terrorists do what they do.  Instead, this book takes a representative sampling of the most horrific terrorist attacks on U.S. soil in an effort to understand the context in which they occurred and the lessons that can be learned from these events.

Becoming ProGrace - Expanding...

Angela Weszely

Conversations about abortion often center on the question: Are you pro-life or pro-choice? But what if that's the wrong question? 
Drawing upon the life and teachings of Jesus, Becoming ProGrace invites Christians to ask new questions, such as:What if conversations about abortion didn't have to feel so tense, divided, or dehumanizing?What does it mean to affirm the image of God in every person involved?How do we navigate tension we may feel when our deepest Christian values seem to conflict?What would it take for Christian communities to become spaces of empathy, listening, and grace? 
Including insights and personal stories from Christians of diverse denominational backgrounds and political perspectives, Becoming ProGrace articulates a uniquely Christian response to abortion that calls us to take on the character of Christ rather than trying to change others, offering a much-needed message of hope for our divided world.
