  Teaching to Live: Black Religion, Activist-Educators, and Radical Social Change interrogates the stories of African American activist-educators whose faith convictions inspired them to educate in radical and transformative ways. Almeda M. Wright explores the connections between religion, education, and struggles for freedom within twentieth-century African American communities by telling the stories of key African American teachers. 
   
   
   
  Wright brings together the lives and work of three related subgroups of activist-educators: those who worked in public or secular education but were religiously inspired; radical scholars who transformed the ways that Black religion and Black religious life are studied and valued; and radical religious educators, or those educators who were involved more formally with the religious formation of Black people but who regarded this work of spiritual development as part of the struggle for freedom and liberation of all people. 
   
   
   
  The rich and complex narratives of these educators show how religion, education, and radical social change can intersect. This book invites listeners to continue exploring how these concepts will evolve for future generations of activist-educators.

  A Concise Guide to Islam...

  Ayman S. Ibrahim

  For many in the English-speaking world, Islam remains a mysterious religion. What is Islam in the first place? Does it mean "peace," or does it mean "submission"? Can it mean both? What is jihad? Sharia? Hadith? Who is Allah? What is a caliph, caliphate, or infidel?  
   
  In this compact volume, an expert in the study of Islam provides explanations for more than one hundred important Islamic concepts and terms, which are divided into major sections: texts, history, faith and belief, practice and religious duties, jurisprudence, and movements. Ayman Ibrahim first introduces the section, then defines each concept or term briefly. Readers can read a chapter at a time or flip through the book to find concepts or terms as needed. Each term is described based on original Muslim sources, mainly written in Arabic, as well as ample scholarly studies. 
   
  This introductory guide is written for anyone with little to no knowledge of Islam. It complements the author's A Concise Guide to the Quran and A Concise Guide to the Life of Muhammad. Together, these three volumes are useful as a set of resources on Islam.

  The Practice of the Presence of God

  "The time of business does not with me differ from the time of prayer."
  
  In a world obsessed with productivity and complex rituals, Brother Lawrence offers a liberating alternative. The Practice of the Presence of God reveals how a former soldier and footman—who described himself as a "clumsy blockhead"—transformed the menial labor of a monastery kitchen into a profound spiritual sanctuary. His "method" requires no special posture, no silent retreat, and no advanced degree; it simply requires an ongoing, conversational intimacy with the divine during every waking moment. Whether you are washing dishes, answering emails, or navigating a busy commute, Lawrence's wisdom shows that the "sacred" is not a place you go, but a perspective you carry.
  
  
  Brother Lawrence famously claimed that he possessed God as peacefully in the "clatter of his kitchen" as if he were on his knees before the Blessed Sacrament. He teaches that by performing every small act out of love, we eliminate the divide between our "spiritual lives" and our "real lives."
  
  Long before the modern mindfulness movement, Lawrence perfected the art of staying in the present. His focus on "pure love" and the "habitual silent conversation" serves as a powerful antidote to modern anxiety and the feeling of being constantly overwhelmed by "needless thoughts."
  
  This book has remained in print for over 300 years because it is arguably the most accessible spiritual guide ever written. It is a favorite of world leaders, quiet seekers, and people of all faiths who desire a life of interior depth without withdrawing from the world. It is the ultimate proof that the smallest life can be the most significant.
