The Anti-Greed Gospel - Why the...

Malcolm Foley

"A forceful call to recognize the roots of American inequality and a solid starting point for Christians who want to help fix them."--Publishers Weekly 
 
Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been. 
 
Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this powerful idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money--what some call "racial capitalism"--drives violence and exploitation across American history. In this book, you'll discover 
 
● how greed historically gave birth to racial categories and systemic oppression, 
● the connection between economic exploitation and racial violence, 
· lessons from historical figures like Ida B. Wells on resistance and truth-telling, 
● practical steps for building communities of deep economic solidarity, and 
● biblical foundations for combating racial capitalism through gospel values. 
 
Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He challenges the contemporary church to wrestle with crucial questions: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey toward racial justice? 
 
Readers will gain tools to resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbors more completely, and build communities rooted in deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth-telling.

The Book of Fear

Billy Pedro

As human, our thought processes, actions and reactions, outcomes and the psychological effects of our fear experiences influence our beliefs, lifestyles and other factors. These life changing experiences and factors determine our behaviour in communication and interaction with our environment, whether logial or illogical. As we grow, learn and develop our own environment, we choose to avoid, confront, ignore or learn to live with our fears. The most intriguing part of it is that we voluntarily believe that our fear is a major problem and a hindrance to us making our goals attainable. We become completely powerful when we are able to put our fear reactions in context, reflect on our reactions which are birthed from situations of perceived fear, and dissect the often unrecognised counter-reactions that make our situation affect our actions.
