Sacred Storm : When God Speaks Through Radical Disruption
$22.95Add to cartChristopher Michael Jones shares the parallel wisdom learned from the worlds of hip hop and church: the good news of “Can’t stop, won’t stop” preached by hip hop in the ashes of Reagan-era turbulence, and the good news of God’s faithfulness to teach resilience in the wake of radical disruption.
“I was pulled back to a time when black youth and young adults like Biggie and I expressed our creative genius through a cultural movement that arose out of the ashes of poverty: hip hop. To us, hip hop was the church. The MC was the preacher. The DJ was the worship host. The B-Boys, breakdancers, and pop-lockers were the liturgical dancers. The journalists and graffiti artists were the scribes. The concert arena was a sanctuary. The bodies who danced to rhythmic anthems of classics like “La Di Da Di,” “Oh, My God!, ” “I Know You Got Soul,” and “Fight the Power” were its members.”

How Far To The Promised Land
$18.00Add to cartA PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
For much of his life, Esau McCaulley was taught to see himself as an exception: someone who, through hard work, faith, and determination, overcame childhood poverty, anti-Black racism, and an absent father to earn a job as a university professor and a life in the middle class.
But that narrative was called into question one night, when McCaulley answered the phone and learned that his father–whose absence defined his upbringing–died in a car crash. McCaulley was being asked to deliver his father’s eulogy, to make sense of his complicated legacy in a country that only accepts Black men on the condition that they are exceptional, hardworking, perfect.
The resulting effort sent McCaulley back through his family history, seeking to understand the community that shaped him. In these pages, we meet his great-grandmother Sophia, a tenant farmer born with the gift of prophecy who scraped together a life in Jim Crow Alabama; his mother, Laurie, who raised four kids alone in an era when single Black mothers were demonized as “welfare queens”; and a cast of family, friends, and neighbors who won small victories in a world built to swallow Black lives. With profound honesty and compassion, he raises questions that implicate us all: What does each person’s struggle to build a life teach us about what we owe each other? About what it means to be human?
How Far to the Promised Land is a thrilling and tender epic about being Black in America. It’s a book that questions our too-simple narratives about poverty and upward mobility; a book in which the people normally written out of the American Dream are given voice.

Love Auntie : Parables And Prayers For Sacred Belonging
$21.99Add to cartEmbrace a faith that makes room for all of us.
Where can we go when the world refuses to see us in our fullness? When culture reduces us to categories and stereotypes and even our churches make us feel like we don’t fit in? If we’re blessed to have an Auntie–someone who, like Jesus, welcomes us wholly and calls us beloved–then we have glimpsed the liberation and divine affirmation of sacred belonging.
?
Time and again, Aunties have offered a model for undoing, becoming, and embracing our identities and deepest beliefs. Auntie culture, particularly in Black spaces, is immediately recognizable as an embodied experience where nieces, nephews, and “niblings” feel safe, heard, and seen. Whether we are biological or simply beloved kin, Aunties welcome us in.
?
In Love, Auntie, Shantell Hinton Hill–aka Reverend Auntie–offers tender testimonies to a flock of loved ones who have been led to believe they do not belong. Through modern-day parables, prayers, and prompts for reflection, she invites readers to sit alongside the wisdom-bearing of Black women, lovingly known as Aunties, as they carve out space for doubts, questions, and spiritual expression that honor intersecting identities of race, gender, and class. Because trust and believe, Aunties always know how to turn mess into miracles. -

Me Estalla La Cabeza – (Spanish)
$15.99Add to cartCuando las mujeres tienen encima la exigencia de ser las buenas de la pelicula, de decir a todo que si, de ceder antes las exigencias y deseos de los demas, de sentirse las cuidadoras eternas y las mamas de todo el mundo… cuando eso lo cumplen a rajatabla porque creen que es su tarea como mujeres, terminan con el sindrome de “la cabeza estallada”.
De manera simple y acertada, Alejandra Stamateas describe algunas situaciones que muchas mujeres viven, como:
*Un estado de permanente resignacion
*No tienen tiempo para ellas mismas.
*Creen que “todo esta bajo control” si ellas actuan siempre de la misma manera.
*No saben por donde empezar el cambio, aunque la situacion en la que viven las enferma y agota.Todo esto tiene un punto de coincidencia: vivir cediendo ante las exigencias de los demas, y aun a las exigencias propias. Cada capitulo de este libro explora situaciones concretas en la vida de la mujer, que la llevara de una cabeza estallada, a una vida mas relajada. !Paz interior y tranquilidad estan disponibles para ti!
When women are burdened with the expectation of being the heroines in a movie, of saying yes to everything, of yielding to the demands and desires of others, of feeling like eternal caregivers and mothers to everyone… when they adhere strictly to these expectations because they believe it’s their duty as women, they end up with the syndrome of “the burnout mind.” In a simple and accurate manner, Alejandra Stamateas describes some situations that many women experience, such as:
*A state of permanent resignation
*They have no time for themselves.
*They believe that “everything is under control” if they always act the same way.
*They don’t know where to start the change, even though the situation they’re living in makes them sick and exhausted.All of this has a common point: living by yielding to the demands of others, and even to one’s own demands. Each chapter of this book explores specific situations in a woman’s life that will take her from feeling like her head is exploding to a more relaxed life. Inner peace and tranquility are available to you!

Defiant Hope : Essays On Life, Faith, And Freedom
$28.99Add to cartThe best writings from George W. Bush’s speechwriter Michael Gerson, a pioneer of the compassionate conservative movement, a champion of Christian engagement, and an eloquent defender of the poor and the marginalized.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Michael Gerson possessed one of the most important consciences of his generation. As the chief speech writer for George W. Bush, he wrote the words that rallied and ennobled the nation after September 11th. He helped design and champion Bush’s PEPFAR program, which saved upwards of 20 million lives as HIV ravaged Africa. His famous line defending public education was to say that failure would amount to “a soft bigotry of low expectations.” He became one of the nation’s most eloquent columnists, who was never content to do political horse race punditry but devoted himself to the most essential causes of the time, pushing back on the authoritarianism of Donald Trump and pushing for the kind of compassionate conservatism that he dedicated his life to designing.
Defiant Hope is his writings about the things he loved–humanity, God, his dog, and his boys. Essays feature the immensely complicated sadness when you drop your children off at college for the first time. Another is about his public battle of depression. He also includes chapters about men and women who formed this great procession of Christian Reformers–John Wesley, Jonathan Edwards, William Wilberforce, and Olaudah Equiano–and the great causes to which they were devoted, from abolitionism to civil rights.
What lingers is his gracious voice across all the roles that he played, as David Brooks writes in the introduction. What you hear is “a prophet lamenting iniquity, a father and a friend capable of great bursts of gratitude and appreciation, a Christian who is sometimes buried under sadness and close to despair, but who never loses sight of that distant illuminating beacon of hope.”

Finding Baby Holly
$18.99Add to cartHolly Marie was forty-two years old the day she found out she was missing.
At ten months old, Holly Marie was brought to the door of a church by three barefoot women in white robes and head coverings. Adopted by the pastor and raised in a loving Christian home, Holly nevertheless struggled with the ache of not knowing what had happened to her biological parents. She still felt their absence even as she married and started a family of her own.
When two detectives showed up at the restaurant where she worked and informed her that she had a large family in Florida who had been searching for her for over 40 years, Holly’s past became the reality of her present, and she began the sometimes painful journey of discovering the truth about her origins: Her parents had been brutally murdered, their case still unsolved.
With the help of law enforcement across four states, forensic genealogists, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and her newly discovered family members, the missing pieces began to come together. Except these-why had her parents been murdered? And who had murdered them? She soon found out that the truth leads not always to answers but sometimes to more questions, that it also brings healing and restoration, and that we must surrender our unknowns to God until, in His perfect timing, all truths are revealed.
Finding Baby Holly is the true, inspiring story of a wife and mother who was “missing” for over forty years after her parents’ murders, the persistent detectives who never stopped investigating, and the birth family who never lost hope in finding her.

Cherished Belonging : The Healing Power Of Love In Divided Times
$30.00Add to cartOver the past thirty years, Gregory Boyle has transformed thousands of lives through his work as the founder of Homeboy Industries, the largest gang-intervention program in the world. The program runs on two unwavering principles: (1) Everyone is unshakably good (no exceptions) and (2) we belong to each other (no exceptions).
Boyle believes that these two ideas allow all of us to cultivate a new way of seeing. Every community wants to be a safe place, where people are seen, and then are cherished. By remembering that we belong to each other, we find our way out of chaos and its dispiriting tribalism. Pooka, a former gang member who now oversees the program’s housing division, puts it plainly: “Here, love is our lens. It’s how we see things.”
In Cherished Belonging, Boyle calls back to Christianity’s origins as a subversive spiritual movement of equality, emancipation, and peace. Early Christianity was a way of life–not a set of beliefs. Boyle’s vision of community isn’t just a space for an individual to heal, but for people to join together and heal each other in a new collective living, a world dedicated to kindness as a constant and radical act of defiance. “The answer to every question is, indeed, compassion,” Boyle exhorts. He calls us to cherish and nurture the connections that are all around us and live with radical kindness.

Which Seeds Will Grow
$21.00Add to cartA new collection of poems by Palestinian-American Catholic poet Andrew Calis, Which Seeds Will Grow? ?finds hope in the Holy Land.
Grappling with his identity as a Christian Palestinian American, Andrew Calis recalls his father who saw Israeli jets swoop over his house in Jerusalem and a military helicopter fire bullets into his front yard. The same father who wouldn’t teach his children Arabic, for fear that they would have accented English, who kept his past close to his chest–unknown to his son. He recounts the death of his grandfather, a grandfather who would beat his father, and for whom he could not fully mourn because Arab men don’t cry.
Andrew Calis digs through the pain of his family and of his homeland to find the fragile seed of contained life and delicate hope for the Holy Land–and reflects on how tenderly that seed must be nurtured.
Steeped in wonder, Which Seeds Will Grow? explores the past and the present, from ancient Jerusalem to Baltimore’s gardens and alleys through the lens of a Palestinian American. The poems are patient, waiting for seasons to end, waiting for space to expand outward, and waiting for light to touch the earth. Despite the difficulty of waiting, readers will find hope in hopelessness and comfort in the contemplation of the world and its sacred mysteries.
From Which Seeds Will Grow?
Planting a Garden
Stealing clippings from neighbors’ yards
And smiling as they grew their own blooms
In the safe and hidden rooms where we
Keep watch on them like they are our children.
***
Nothing grew. We knew this was
A possibility, had read
It sometimes takes two years,
And we hoped in spite of only dirt
For the green that could be anything.Perhaps we dug too shallow or too close
To the shade, or stepped where we had already planted,
Either crushing roots or breaking their curled
First shoots before they broke the surface.
***
So when one survived, wove a green line
Of its own, thinly sprouting something unknowable, I ran
Inside and for a moment felt
What John must have felt
Leaving Peter, old and unsteadily running,
And running breathlessly
To tell everyone —
Everyone
What had happened
And how you wouldn’t believe your eyes. -

Tap Code : The Epic Survival Tale Of A Vietnam POW And The Secret Code That
$19.99Add to cartDiscover never-before-told details of POW underground operations during the Vietnam War told through one airman’s inspiring story of true love, honor, and courage.
Air Force pilot Captain Carlyle “Smitty” Harris was shot down over Vietnam on April 4, 1965 and taken to the infamous Hoa Lo prison–nicknamed the “Hanoi Hilton.” For the next eight years, Smitty and hundreds of other American POWs–including John McCain and George “Bud” Day–suffered torture, solitary confinement, and unimaginable abuse.
It was there that Smitty covertly taught many other POWs the Tap Code–an old, long-unused method of communication from World War II. Using the code, they could softly tap messages of encouragement to lonely neighbors and pass along resistance policies from their leaders. The code quickly became a lifeline during their internment. It helped the prisoners boost morale, stay unified, communicate the chain of command, and prevail over a brutal enemy.
Meanwhile, back home in the United States, Harris’s wife, Louise, raised their three children alone, unsure of her husband’s fate for seven long years. One of the first POW wives of the Vietnam War, she became a role model for other military wives by advocating for herself and her children in her husband’s absence.
Told through both Smitty’s and Louise’s voices, Tap Code shares the riveting true story of:
*Ingenuity under pressure
*Strength and dignity in the face of a frightening enemy
*The hope, faith, and resolve necessary to endure even the darkest circumstances -

Born To Be Brave
$28.99Add to cartWhat if the present cultural setback is really a divine setup for a spiritual comeback?
Ungodly forces have devastated American culture. The family of faith is feeling intimidated and fearful. Worse, many of us think that nothing can be done about it–that society will inevitably get worse.
Actor, producer, and conservative activist Kirk Cameron says this hopelessness is completely misplaced. God has given His faithful followers a birthright of courage. If we choose to live in this bravery, we will realign the nation with Christian values.
With biblical insights and true stories of individuals who acted bravely out of love for God and others, Born to Be Brave equips us to:
*stop thinking our opponents are too big for us to overcome and start seeing our culture as something we are called to mold.
*recognize the Christian backstory of America and see how this gives us direction for the future.
*understand that politics needs the gospel, because real change requires heart transformation.
*hold on to our God-given compassion for others, even when we face backlash and opposition.
*boldly engage friends, family, and the community with gospel truths that affect all of society.
If we’re going to change the nation and the world, we need to move beyond paralyzed outrage and start acting with courage and confidence. God is already on the move, and we can be a part of the big things He is doing. Because we were born to be brave.

Even After Everything
$26.00Add to cartExquisitely told and urgently resonant, Even After Everything is a love letter to anyone who has opened their heart only to be hurt. Stephanie Duncan Smith proposes that it’s not through grit or forced resilience that you will find a way forward, but through receiving the full spectrum of our lives, just as we receive the empathy of God-with-us in every moment.
Duncan Smith’s disorientation began when she lost her first pregnancy on the winter solstice, just as the world readied to celebrate its most historic birth on Christmas. Then a new yet uncertain pregnancy unfolded parallel to the pandemic, until nearly one year to the day of her loss, she gave birth to her daughter at the peak of mortality in their city. These contradictions compelled Duncan Smith into a desperate search for steadiness, which she found in the liturgical year as a grounding force and the promise that we are seen by God in every season.
In Even After Everything, Duncan Smith traverses the church’s circle of time and reorients herself and us in the sacred story told through Advent, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, and Ordinary Time. She reveals the sacred year–through its endless interplay of love, loss, risk, and resurrection–as a mirror to the human experience, an anchor for turbulent times, and a womb strong enough to encompass every human care. At its heart lives the promise of God-with-us, inviting us into the spiritual practice of taking courage in the trust that we are accompanied in everything, and love will always have the last word.

Confidence Is An Inside Job
$24.00Add to cartDiscover a deep, one-of-a-kind confidence that’s rooted in your relationship with Jesus through inspirational stories, insights, and strategies from podcaster and confidence coach Ashley Henriott.
“Conquer self-doubt and embrace God’s view of YOU.”-Rebecca George, author of Do the Thing and host of the podcast Radical Radiance
Has a voice in your head ever told you that you’re not enough? Maybe it’s said the opposite: that you’re too much. Or perhaps you’ve heard both messages at different times in your life. Either way, in those moments you probably felt like something was wrong with you.
And why wouldn’t you? Media and cultural messages constantly tell women that we must be different than we are to be considered valuable or even acceptable: more of this and less of that. But here’s great news: All of that is a lie, and you are not alone in your struggles.
Confidence coach Ashley Henriott knows what it’s like to be identified by the opinions of others and to live a life dictated by what they thought of her. However, her determination to break free from those shackles led her to a profound realization: True confidence is an inside job that begins with a woman embracing her own uniqueness and worthiness.
Through inspirational stories and her trademark humor, Ashley Henriott teaches about three confidence killers-fear, inaction, and comparison-that keep women from stepping into their true potential. Better still, she presents simple and practical strategies you can use to defeat these negative forces, embrace the beauty of who you are today, and live the fulfilling and confident life you desire.

Bright Shining : How Grace Changes Everything
$27.99Add to cartGrace is hard to define. It can be found when we create ways to find meaning and dignity in connection with each other, building on our shared humanity, being kinder, bigger, better with each other. If, in its crudest interpretation, karma is getting what you deserve, then grace is the opposite: forgiving the unforgivable, favoring the undeserving, loving the unlovable.
Sadly, we live in an era when grace is increasingly rare. Our growing distrust of the media, politicians, and each other has choked our ability to trust, to accept, to allow for mistakes, to forgive.
What does grace look like in today’s world, and how do we recognize it, nurture it in ourselves and express it, even in the darkest of times? In this luminously beautiful, deeply insightful, and timely book, Baird explores the meaning of grace and how we can cut through negativity to find it today.
