Dear Church A Love Letter from a Black Preacher to the Whitest Denomination in the US by Lenny Duncan
epub | 244.68 KB | English | Author :Lenny Duncan


Book Description :

Lenny Duncan is the unlikeliest of pastors. Formerly incarcerated, he is now a black preacher in the whitest denomination in the United States: the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Shifting demographics and shrinking congregations make all the headlines, but Duncan sees something else at work--drawing a direct line between the church's lack of diversity and the church's lack of vitality. The problems the ELCA faces are theological, not sociological. But so are the answers.
Part manifesto, part confession, and all love letter, Dear Church offers a bold new vision for the future of Duncan's denomination and the broader mainline Christian community of faith. Dear Church rejects the narrative of church decline and calls everyone--leaders and laity alike--to the front lines of the churchÂs renewal through racial equality and justice.
It is time for the church to rise up, dust itself off, and take on forces of this world that act against God: whiteness, misogyny, nationalism, homophobia, and economic injustice. Duncan gives a blueprint for the way forward and urges us to follow in the revolutionary path of Jesus.

The Last Town on Earth by Thomas Mullen
epub | 427.98 KB | English | Author :Thomas Mullen | Random House


Book Description :

Set against the backdrop of one of the most virulent epidemics that America ever experienced-the 1918 flu epidemic-Thomas Mullen's powerful, sweeping first novel is a tale of morality in a time of upheaval.

Deep in the mist-shrouded forests of the Pacific Northwest is a small mill town called Commonwealth, conceived as a haven for workers weary of exploitation. For Philip Worthy, the adopted son of the town's founder, it is a haven in another sense-as the first place in his life he's had a loving family to call his own.

And yet, the ideals that define this outpost are being threatened from all sides. A world war is raging, and with the fear of spies rampant, the loyalty of all Americans is coming under scrutiny. Meanwhile, another shadow has fallen across the region in the form of a deadly illness striking down vast swaths of surrounding communities.

When Commonwealth votes to quarantine itself against contagion, guards are posted at the single road leading in and out of town, and Philip Worthy is among them. He will be unlucky enough to be on duty when a cold, hungry, tired-and apparently ill-soldier presents himself at the town's doorstep begging for sanctuary. The encounter that ensues, and the shots that are fired, will have deafening reverberations throughout Commonwealth, escalating until every human value-love, patriotism, community, family, friendship-not to mention the town's very survival, is imperiled.

Inspired by a little-known historical footnote regarding towns that quarantined themselves during the 1918 epidemic, The Last Town on Earth is a remarkably moving and accomplished debut.

Sexually Shy - The Inhibited Womans Guide To Good Sex
pdf | 412.71 KB | Author :Charlotte Kane


Book Description :

From #1 New York Times Bestseller Vi Keeland, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.

My relationship with Hunter Delucia started backwards.

We met at a wedding-him sitting on the groom's side, me sitting on the bride's. Stealing glances at each other throughout the night, there was no denying an intense, mutual attraction.

I caught the bouquet; he caught the garter. Hunter held me tightly while we danced and suggested we explore the chemistry sparking between us. His blunt, dirty mouth should've turned me off. But for some crazy reason, it had the opposite effect on me.

We ended up back in my hotel room. The next morning, I headed home to New York leaving him behind in California with the wrong number.

I thought about him often, but after my last relationship, I'd sworn off of charming, cocky, gorgeous-as-sin men. A year later, Hunter and I met again at the birth of our friends' baby. Our attraction hadn't dulled one bit. After a whirlwind trip, he demanded a real phone number this time. So I left him with my mother's-she could scare away any man with her talks of babies and marriage-and flew back home.

I'd thought it was funny, until the following week when he rang the bell at Mom's house for Sunday night dinner. The crazy, gorgeous man had won over my mother and taken an eight-week assignment in my city. He proposed we spend that time screwing each other out of our systems.

Eight weeks of mind-blowing sex with no strings attached? What did I have to lose?

Nothing, I thought.
It's just sex, not love.
But you know what they say about the best laid plans.

Book Description :

"Ed Hess's Hyper-Learning is uniquely practical and is the essential starting point for charting new ways of thinking, living, working, leading, and being fulfilled in our new world."
-Gary Roughead, Admiral, US Navy (retired) former Chief of Naval Operations
The Digital Age will raise the question of how we humans will stay relevant in the workplace. To stay relevant, we have to be able to excel cognitively, behaviorally, and emotionally in ways that technology can't.
Professor Ed Hess believes that requires us to become Hyper-Learners: continuously learning, unlearning, and relearning at the speed of change. To do that, we have to overcome our reflexive ways of being: seeking confirmation of what we believe, emotionally defending our beliefs and our ego, and seeking cohesiveness of our mental models.
Hyper-Learning requires a new way of being and a radical new way of working. In Part 1 of this how-to book, Hess takes a practical workbook approach and...

Civil Right Movement OCR
pdf | 61.91 MB | Author :Danielle L. McGuire


Book Description :

Groundbreaking, controversial, and courageous, here is the story of Rosa Parks and Recy Taylor-a story that reinterprets the history of America's civil rights movement in terms of the sexual violence committed against black women by white men. 

Rosa Parks was often described as a sweet and reticent elderly woman whose tired feet caused her to defy segregation on Montgomery's city buses, and whose supposedly solitary, spontaneous act sparked the 1955 bus boycott that gave birth to the civil rights movement. The truth of who Rosa Parks was and what really lay beneath the 1955 boycott is far different from anything previously written.

In this groundbreaking and important book, Danielle McGuire writes about the bang in 1944 of a twenty-four-year-old mother and sharecropper, Recy Taylor, who strolled toward home after an evening of singing and praying at the Rock Hill Holiness Church in Abbeville, Alabama. Seven white men, armed with knives and shotguns, ordered the young woman into their green Chevrolet, bangd her, and left her for dead. The president of the local NAACP branch office sent his best investigator and organizer--Rosa Parks--to Abbeville. In taking on this case, Parks launched a movement that exposed a ritualized history of sexual assault against black women and added fire to the growing call for change.

Vaccine Nation America's Changing Relationship with Immunization

Book Description :

"A strikingly honest, fair-minded, and informed chronicle of the vaccine controversy in the United States."-Age of Autism
By setting the complex story of American vaccination within the country's broader history, Vaccine Nation goes beyond the simple story of the triumph of science over disease and provides a new and perceptive account of the role of politics and social forces in medicine.
Vaccine Nation opens in the 1960s, when government scientists-triumphant following successes combating polio and smallpox-considered how the country might deploy new vaccines against what they called the "milder" diseases, including measles, mumps, and rubella. In the years that followed, Conis reveals, vaccines fundamentally changed how medical professionals, policy administrators, and ordinary Americans came to perceive the diseases they were designed to prevent. She brings this history up to the present with an insightful...

ERIC

Let me tell you this; all the stories you hear about basketball groupies are true. But just because I've enjoyed sampling those delicacies in the past doesn't mean I'm not in the mood for a fresher, more enticing, home-cooked dish.
And meeting Skylar at the local juice joint does more than whet my appetite. This hot redhead is sexy, funny, and smart, and our sparkling encounter comes just at the time when I'm beginning to question my pro basketball career, with its long hours on the road traveling from town to town, and no one to come home to.
Is she the right woman for me? The one who can make me decide to give it up for good and settle down? Or do I dare ask her to give it all up and follow me?

SKYLAR

Working at the best juice place in town has its perks . . . especially on the weekends when all those hunky, sweaty athletes crowd inside for their fresh fruit fix. When the store's juicer starts sounding more like a trash compactor, a big blond cutie step in to help. As it turns out, his huge, gifted hands work not only on basketballs and machinery, but on a woman's body as well!
But he's a basketball star, used to being surrounded by groupies and adoring fans. What makes me think I'd be special? And what's going to happen when he moves on with his team, to another town, another basketball game, and another crowd of girls who are only too happy to throw themselves at him?
Is it worth risking my heart on something that will only end in hurt?

Meet the curvy young women who work at F&V, the town's most popular juice bar. Here they encounter the alpha men that tempt them, frustrate them and end up stealing their heart. Each story is a steamy stand-alone with a HEA.

Blood Brothers - The Story of the Strange Friendship between Sitting Bull and Buffalo Bill
epub | 16.51 MB | Author :Deanne Stillman | Simon & Schuster


Book Description :

The little known story of the unlikely friendship of two famous figures of the American West-Buffalo Bill Cody and Sitting Bull-told through their time in Cody's Wild West show in the 1880s.
It was in Brooklyn, New York, in 1883 that William F. Cody-known across the land as Buffalo Bill-conceived of his Wild West show, an "equestrian extravaganza" featuring cowboys and Indians. The idea took off. For four months in 1885 the Lakota chief Sitting Bull appeared in the show. Blood Brothers tells the story of these two iconic figures through their brief but important collaboration.

Blood Brothers flashes back to 1876, when the Lakota wiped out Custer's 7th Cavalry unit at the Little Big Horn. Sitting Bull did not participate in the "last stand," but was nearby-and blamed for killing Custer. The book also flashes forward to 1890, when Sitting Bull was assassinated. Hours before, Cody rushed to Sitting Bull's cabin at Standing Rock,...
