It's no longer news to most of us that our society has a deep-seated racism problem. Christians of all ethnic and economic backgrounds are tired of seeing the ugly legacy of racism play out before their eyes and feeling ill-equipped to respond.

In Faithful Antiracism, Christina Barland Edmondson and Chad Brennan take confidence that Christ has overcome the world, including racism, and offer clear analysis and interventions to challenge and resist its pernicious power.

In this book Brenda Salter McNeil and Rick Richardson provide a model of racial reconciliation, social justice, and spiritual healing that creates both individual and communal transformation.

Swoboda help us reclaim the holiness of human speech and the relevance of meaningful conversation in our culture today.

The digital age, with all the interconnection it offers, has only made things worse. For those living under the shyness curse, life can be discomforting at best and terrifying at worst. While shyness may seem just as much a part of you as your elbow, the difference between your elbow and your shyness is that you weren’t born with your shyness.
