We are ready to rise up. But how, exactly, do we do this? How does one reconcile? What we need is a clear sense of direction. Based on her extensive consulting experience with churches, colleges and organizations, Rev. Dr. Brenda Salter McNeil has created a roadmap to show us the way. She guides us through the common topics of discussion and past the bumpy social terrain and political boundaries that will arise. In this revised and expanded edition, McNeil has updated her signature roadmap to incorporate insights from her more recent work.

El fin de la historia no puede haber llegado con el neoliberalismo, como anunció Fukuyama. El espíritu universal, según Hegel, sigue un proceso dialéctico entre dos polos opuestos cuya tensión culmina en su síntesis. Así como el salmón, que retorna a su lugar de nacimiento para morir y desovar, el espíritu universal, tras su paso por Europa y hacer escala en Silicon Valley, vuelve al origen, que Hegel identifica en China. Aquí encontramos la síntesis entre capitalismo liberal y comunismo.

In this simple but powerful book, Pastor David Swanson contends that discipleship, not diversity, lies at the heart of our white churches' racial brokenness. Before white churches can pursue diversity, he argues, we must first take steps to address the faulty discipleship that has led to our segregation in the first place. Drawing on the work of philosopher James K. A. Smith and others, Swanson proposes that we rethink our churches' habits, or liturgies, and imagine together holistic, communal discipleship practices that can reform us as members of Christ's diverse body.

Then there is the Cornwall she discovers when, feeling increasingly dislocated in London, she moves to Newlyn, a fishing town near Land’s End. This Cornwall is messier and harder; it doesn’t seem like a place that would welcome strangers. Before long, however, Lamorna finds herself on a week-long trawler trip with a crew of local fishermen, afforded a rare glimpse into their world, their warmth and their humour.

Before hashtags, before marches filled with megaphones, there was one man in a loincloth—walking hundreds of miles to make salt. Gandhi: Salt, Soul, and the End of Empire isn’t your textbook history. It’s the real, raw breakdown of how a soft-spoken lawyer became the living symbol of resistance—not through war, but through will. This book unpacks how one man faced the British Empire—the most powerful force on Earth—armed only with truth, hunger strikes, and a refusal to play by the rules. It’s not a worship piece. Gandhi wasn’t perfect.
