  Growing up in Montana, Chris La Tray always identified as Indian. Despite the fact that his father fiercely denied any connection, he found Indigenous people alluring, often recalling his grandmother's consistent mention of their Chippewa heritage. 
   
   
   
  When La Tray attended his grandfather's funeral as a young man, he finally found himself surrounded by relatives who obviously were Indigenous. "Who were they?" he wondered, and "Why was I never allowed to know them?" Combining diligent research and compelling conversations with authors, activists, elders, and historians, La Tray embarks on a journey into his family's past, discovering along the way a larger story of the complicated history of Indigenous communities—as well as the devastating effects of colonialism that continue to ripple through surviving generations. And as he comes to embrace his full identity, he eventually seeks enrollment with the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians, joining their 158-year-long struggle for federal recognition. 
   
   
   
  Both personal and historical, Becoming Little Shell is a testament to the power of storytelling, to family and legacy, and to finding home. Infused with candor, heart, wisdom, and an abiding love for a place and a people, Chris La Tray's remarkable journey is both revelatory and redemptive.

  What if the cleverest arguments were the most meaningless? 
  In Euthydemus, Plato unleashes his sharpest satire on the world of sophistry. When Socrates meets two cunning rhetoricians, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, a lesson on virtue quickly devolves into a whirlwind of verbal traps, circular logic, and baffling contradictions. Their aim? To appear wise—even if they say nothing at all. 
  This modern audiobook translation delivers Plato’s humor, irony, and insight with clarity and flair. Ideal for listeners curious about logic, language, and the fine line between cleverness and wisdom. 
  What you'll discover inside: 
  •	A comical, cautionary tale about the abuse of language and reasoning 
  •	The most absurd (and enlightening) philosophical dialogue ever written 
  •	Socrates’ cool-headed navigation through nonsense and noise 
  •	A fresh translation that brings Plato’s wit vividly to life 
  If you've ever argued just to win—or lost to someone who did—Euthydemus will both entertain and educate.

  Most of us don't need to make speeches. We need to make friends. This is the core message of Black and White: racism can be disrupted by relationships.

Black and White leverages their story, surrounding it with other's stories, practical advice, and exploration of the systems of racism to motivate you to consider your own role in change. 
   
   
   
  ● Learn about the various and often subtle ways racism continues to be a part of American culture. 
   
   
   
  ● Discover how simple (albeit not always easy) it is to get involved in what God is doing to disrupt racism. 
   
   
   
  ● Become equipped to take faithful, practical, next steps in obedience to God's call to join the movement against racism.

  How to Make Money - An Ancient...

  Ancient Romans liked money. But how did they make a living and sometimes even become rich? The Roman economy was dominated by agriculture, but it was surprisingly modern in many ways: the Romans had companies with CEOs, shareholders, and detailed contracts regulated by meticulous laws; systems of banking and taxation; and a wide range of occupations, from merchant and doctor to architect and teacher. The Romans also enjoyed a relatively open society, where some could start from the bottom, work, invest, and grow rich. How to Make Money gathers a wide variety of ancient writings that show how Romans thought about, made, invested, spent, lost, and gave away money. 
   
   
   
  The Roman elite idealized farming and service to the state but treated many other occupations with suspicion or contempt, from money lending to wage labor. But whatever their attitudes, pecunia made the Roman world go round. In the Satyricon, Trimalchio brags about his wealth. Seneca accumulated a fortune—but taught that money can't buy happiness. Eumachia inherited a brick factory from her father, married well, and turned to philanthropy after she was widowed. How to Make Money also takes up some of the most troubling aspects of the Roman economy, slavery and prostitution, which the elite deemed unrespectable but often profited from.
