  The Eastern Han Dynasty: A History of China, PART TWO takes you on a thrilling ride through one of China's most dramatic and chaotic eras. This book pulls you right into the palace, where figures like Empress Dou plot and scheme to secure power, even using poison and false charges to remove rivals. You'll watch the rise and fall of powerful families like the Dous and the Liang clan, who used their ties to the throne to control the empire — but always at a heavy cost. 
  You'll follow brave officials like Yuan An, Yue Hui, and Cai Yong, who risked everything to speak the truth and challenge corruption. These weren't dry, stiff scholars — they were real people caught in a deadly game of politics, facing off against terrifying figures like Liang Ji and the infamous Ten Regular Attendants, the emperor's most corrupt and dangerous eunuchs. 
  This book doesn't just tell you about emperors and generals; it shines a light on the students, rebels, and farmers, too. You'll see how the National Academy students stood up to the powerful, how the Yellow Turban Rebellion shook the empire, and how even everyday folk got tangled in the madness, whether they were sucked into fake "filial" shows or forced to pay crushing taxes to fund the emperor's endless luxuries. 
  You'll walk through lavish palace gardens, secret court meetings, bloody battlefields, and fake street markets set up inside the palace for the emperor's entertainment. From wild feasts to puppet rulers, from political assassinations to daring military campaigns, the Eastern Han was packed with stories that read like the best kind of historical drama — because they were real.

  Before you can do what’s right, you have to see what’s right.When it comes to racial reconciliation, we often ask, “Where do we go from here?” But has it ever occurred to you that the real question is “Why are we still here?” In other words, until we’ve seen the problem of racism correctly—its history, its current effects, and its root causes—we aren’t equipped to head in the right direction. We’ll just keep falling into the same old patterns. The blind will lead the blind, and no one will have the vision to foster real change.But take hope! Restoring our spiritual sight is exactly what Jesus came to achieve.In this book, Josh Clemons and Hazen Stevens—one white, one black, and both brothers in Christ—will invite you to start the journey toward racial reconciliation and justice. Join us as we:Know the story of racism in the West, the church’s complicity in it, and how that story impacts each of usOwn our own contributory roles in the present and historic sin of racismChange the story by getting involved with the laborious—yet glorious!—work of racial reconciliation and justice 
  In Know. Own. Change., the authors set aside the world’s patterns of division and hate. Instead, they set a tone that emerges from spiritual kinship in Christ. Every page seeks to honor Him, pointing believers back to Jesus as the one who is reconciling all things to himself.

  "The author's message is potent and timely... this is a vital call to reform a broken system." – Publishers Weekly Review, June 2025
  "Dr. Lester has gifted us this book for this moment and for our posterity. He shares searing personal stories of tragedy and hardship that moves the crisis in our educational system beyond statistics and into the realm of human impact. . . . He adds academic ballast to his intimate narrative, so we come to understand not simply his individual story, but the historic and systemic forces at work that affect millions today." – Jemar Tisby, from the foreword
  Inspiring the Next Generation to Advocate for Educational Equity
  Terence Lester was born into a two-parent household that later separated due to family conflict. In search of safety and stability, his mother moved him and his sister from place to place. Carrying the weight of that early trauma, Lester turned to gangs, became a juvenile delinquent, experienced homelessness, and at one point lived out of his car. He dropped out of high school.
  But Lester's story doesn't end there. He eventually returned to school, graduated as a fifth-year senior, and defied the odds by earning five degrees, including a PhD in public policy. What made the difference?
  In From Dropout to Doctorate, Lester unveils the realities of educational injustice and the profound impact of unjust policies and systems on Black communities. He shows how poverty disrupts the lives of Black families, leading to homelessness and perpetuating the school-to-prison pipeline.
  A Powerful Personal Story
  Drawing from his own personal narrative and scholarly research, Lester names the complex challenges faced by Black children in underresourced and socially dense environments. As a public scholar and nonprofit leader, he advocates for equitable access to advanced education and addresses the systemic barriers that limit opportunities for Black people.
  An Advocate's Voice for Change
  Through his personal experiences, Lester calls on educators, nonprofit leaders, and community influencers to confront educational inequity and inspire systemic change. His advocacy encourages readers to envision a world rooted in justice and inclusivity. Offering remedies of community involvement and mentorship, Lester marks out a hopeful pathway that cultivates potential and provides opportunities for Black youth to thrive.
  For Those Who Believe in a Just Future
  This book speaks to those who are ready to champion change and reimagine what is possible for marginalized communities. From Dropout to Doctorate will challenge you to question the status quo and equip you to make a difference in your community.
  If you're ready to join the fight for educational equity and inspire the next generation, pick up your copy today. Will you be the next one to make an impact?
