Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is 1693, during the waning days of a militaristic, fugitive slave village in northeastern Brazil and the widening landscape of Maroon Wars in Jamaica. There exists a patchwork of shared morality and beliefs among the myriad mix of West African tribes and the indigenous peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean. In Colonial Brazil, the beliefs of various Taino Indian and West African blend, influenced by nearby Jesuit Orders such as the St. Raphael Mission. This contributes to the Maroon culture’s interpretations of burial customs and visitations of “shadow people” or spiritual presences. Later, in Jamaica, as with ancient West African and Ashanti cultures, the silk cotton tree plays an important role in the village of Akrafena and the Casa Cadiz Plantation. From the Nine Night ceremony and beliefs in survival after death to roaming spirits of the dead, the tree—also called the Spirit Tree, God Tree, and Devil Tree—emits evil spells as well as spiritual inspiration for prevailing forces that drive the various Maroon characters and conflict. Inspired by actual events, this novel offers a portrait of sustained and conscionable slave rebellion in Colonial Brazil and Jamaica at the cultural crossroads of myth and reality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible contains many stories of what might be called ‘bit players’; those who appear briefly, sometimes only for a few verses, and are not central to the narrative, but who still play a significant role. These old stories feature and were written by people with whom we share a common humanity and whose encounters with God have much to teach us. In their stories we see something of our own stories and, if we listen aright, we can hear the divine voice speaking through their strength and weaknesses, their triumphs and tragedies and their joys and sorrows. Their stories also throw light on the heart of the narrative, the story of Jesus, and demonstrate the rich inclusiveness of the Bible. They also offer us a fascinating reflection of who we are as Christian believers and the nature of the world in which we try to live out our faith. Their journeys, however marginal they may seem, make significant contributions to the story Scripture tells. This book can be used generally by individuals or groups but is also suitable for use as a series of Lenten reflections. As we listen to some of the lesser-known voices and stories we encounter in Scripture we will find that they are not there by accident and have the power to profoundly enrich our Christian understanding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origin and emphasis of the Judeo-Christian faith began with the call of Abram. Concerning salvation, have you ever asked why there’s a need or a purpose for a call in the first place? And besides, who was God actually talking to in the land of Ur? Back Roads to Israel is a study of Jesus’s spiritual ancestry and background. Author Maxwell Thurston helps explain how Abraham, a man of flesh and bones, has a direct ancestral lineage to Jesus—because if Jesus is the Son of God, then there must be spiritual DNA that connects him with the Lord our God, who is in heaven. Knowing the spiritual avenues taken by Abraham will take us to the beginning of creation, when the living word was with God. If you are able to travel the unbeaten path, the back roads of Abraham, then it will help clear up confusion about Jesus—especially the part where we read, “From thy father’s house.”

Book excerpt: In the 2004 election, 80 percent of those who claimed "moral values" was the most important issue affecting their vote cast their ballots for Bush, as did 63 percent of frequent churchgoers. Since then, the Religious Right has continued to cement an association between "Christian" and "moral" values and conservative policies. Getting On Message challenges this association from the very heart of the Christian tradition. These readable and incisive essays use biblical framing to discern the personal and social ethics that truly embody Christian values in the contemporary world. Marilynne Robinson discusses the link between personal holiness and a generous spirit. Garret Keizer looks at the growing wealth/class divide from a Christian perspective. Rev. Heidi Neumark examines hospitality as a core Christian value. Rev. Chloe Breyer explores a justice criterion for women's decisions on abortion. Rev. Bill Sinkford asks what really constitutes a God-approved marriage and family. Getting On Message is a book for clergy, for politically active people of faith, and for progressive organizers and strategists who want to learn how to talk to religious believers about the values they share.

Book excerpt: In Backroads, New Jersey, Di Ionno leads readers off the congested interstates with their commonplace scenery to the seldom-explored secondary roads, where the real life of the state can be found. These inter-county or 500 series roads are a 6,788-mile network of mostly one-lane highways. Marked by blue-and-yellow five-sided shields bearing county names, they make up more than 20 percent of New Jersey's public roads. They are never the fastest or most direct way to get anywhere, but when you break out of the towns and hit the country, they are a pleasure to drive.

Book excerpt: She was four when the abuse began… and 16 when it ended. The runaway scene is a heart-stopper from start to freedom–and an uncertain future. She had no choice but to become a runaway once she found out her stepmother had arranged to sell her to a stranger for $80. More terrified that she would soon be sold to a man she did not know, she left her isolated farm during a cloudy night and walked 10 terrifying miles to a railroad station. Her childhood experiences make for compelling reading and as we see her in adulthood, we recognize a woman who never allowed her abusive childhood to destroy her will to rise above it. Readers will be amazed at the life and love of this woman called Ethel. Her story is true, from start to finish. I know because Ethel was my mother.
