Summary

Navigate the complex waters of Venice, where the enforcement of a bond for a pound of flesh clashes with the quality of mercy. The play centers on the enigmatic figure of Shylock, a moneylender whose demand for justice exposes the hypocrisy and prejudice of the Christian characters. Blending romantic comedy with a dark legal thriller, it raises uncomfortable questions about law, religion, and revenge. It remains one of the most debated and powerful explorations of the outsider in society.
Available since: 01/29/2026.
Print length: 128 pages.

    This exciting and groundbreaking fiction anthology showcases a number of new and emerging 2SQ (Two-Spirit and queer Indigenous) writers from across Turtle Island. These visionary authors show how queer Indigenous communities can bloom and thrive through utopian narratives that detail the vivacity and strength of 2SQness throughout its plight in the maw of settler colonialism's histories. 
     
     
     
    Here, listeners will discover bio-engineered AI rats, transplanted trees in space, the rise of a 2SQ resistance camp, a primer on how to survive Indigiqueerly, virtual reality applications, motherships at sea, and the very bending of space-time continuums queered through NDN time. Love after the End demonstrates the imaginatively queer Two-Spirit futurisms we have all been dreaming of since 1492.

    •	A Timeless Warning – Relevant to any age facing questions of leadership, balance, and societal decay. 
    •	Critias is more than a myth—it’s a haunting vision of what we stand to lose when wisdom is cast aside for power.

    No matter what the circumstances, death shakes us to the core. It seems so wrong, and it is! We long for comfort, but we don't know where to look. Can God really help when we are overwhelmed with grief? With compassion and biblical wisdom, Paul David Tripp shows us how to think and what to do when death enters our door in CCEFs Grief: Finding Hope Again.  He reminds us that we have a Savior who knows our sorrows, hears our cries, and promises to one day wipe away all tears. Hope and healing come from our relationship with Jesus, the One who promises to walk all the way through the valley of the shadow of death with us. All the minibooks in our Christian bookstore offer gospel-centered hope for everyday issues like parenting, marriage, and personal change.

    An insider's look into the largely anonymous volunteers in local party organizations who make decisions in elections with profound implications for American democracy. 
     
     
     
    Although scholars have long recognized that local American parties play an important role in elections, surprisingly little is known about the individuals who lead these typically small, volunteer-based organizations. As David Doherty, Conor M. Dowling, and Michael G. Miller show in Small Power, local party leaders influence the electoral process in myriad ways: They recruit and support candidates, interface with state-wide and federal campaigns, and get out the vote in their communities. Drawing from a survey of over 850 Democratic and Republican local party chairs, a nationally representative sample of voters, and dozens of in-depth interviews, the authors describe how parties are organized, who party chairs are, and how they serve the party. Leveraging novel experiments that illuminate how chairs make choices about which individuals to recruit as candidates—as well as whether those choices reflect voters' preferences—Small Power sheds new light on how seemingly mundane local decisions can shape party goals, influence candidate pipelines, and affect who ends up winning elections.
