Book Synopsis Burying White Privilege by : Miguel A. De La Torre
Download or read book Burying White Privilege written by Miguel A. De La Torre and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-11 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short. Timely. Poignant. Pointed. Burying White Privilege is all of these and more. This is the book that everybody who cares about contemporary American Christianity will want to read. Many people wonder how white Christians could not only support Donald Trump for president but also rush to defend an accused child molester running for the US Senate. In a 2017 essay that went viral, Miguel A. De La Torre boldly proclaimed the death of Christianity at the hands of white evangelical nationalists. He continues sounding the death knell in this book. De La Torre argues that centuries of oppression and greed have effectively ruined evangelical Christianity in the United States. Believers and clerical leaders have killed it, choosing profits over prophets. The silence concerning—if not the doctrinal justification of—racism, classism, sexism, and homophobia has made white Christianity satanic. Prophetically calling Christian nationalists to repentance, De La Torre rescues the biblical Christ from the distorted Christ of white Christian imagination.

Book Synopsis Decolonizing Christianity by : Miguel A. De La Torre
Download or read book Decolonizing Christianity written by Miguel A. De La Torre and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “How curiously different is this white God from the one preached by Jesus who understood faithfulness by how we treat the hungry and thirsty, the naked and alien, the incarcerated and infirm. This white God of empire may be appropriate for global conquerors who benefit from all that has been stolen and through the labor of all those defined as inferior; but such a deity can never be the God of the conquered.” Echoing James Cone’s 1970 assertion that white Christianity is a satanic heresy, Miguel De La Torre argues that whiteness has desecrated the message of Jesus. In a scathing indictment, he describes how white American Christians have aligned themselves with the oppressors who subjugate the “least of these”—those who have been systemically marginalized because of their race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status—and, in overwhelming numbers, elected and supported an antichrist as president who has brought the bigotry ingrained in American society out into the open. With this follow-up to his earlier Burying White Privilege, De La Torre prophetically outlines how we need to decolonize Christianity and reclaim its revolutionary, badass message. Timid white liberalism is not the answer for De La Torre—only another form of complicity. Working from the parable of the sheep and the goats in the Gospel of Matthew, he calls for unapologetic solidarity with the sheep and an unequivocal rejection of the false, idolatrous Christianity of whiteness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2016 Association of Catholic Publishers Excellence in Publishing Award: Inspirational Books (First Place). In this edgy, honest, and often audacious book of Catholic spirituality, blogger and popular podcaster Maria Morera Johnson explores the qualities of twenty-four holy women who lived lives of virtue in unexpected and often difficult circumstances. In My Badass Book of Saints, Johnson shares her experience as a first-generation Cuban-American, educator of at-risk college students, and caregiver for a husband with Lou Gehrig's disease.

She presents remarkable holy women and saints--including the gun-toting Servant of God Sr. Blandina Segale who tried to turn the heart of Billy the Kid, and Nazi resister Irena Sendler who helped smuggle children out of the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II--in a way that brings their vivid personalities to life and helps readers live out the challenges of their lives with virtue and conviction.

Book Synopsis Badass Christian by : Kyle Alexander

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten Years Anniversary Release by Kyle Alexander gives readers glimpse behind curtain of small-town Protestantism "Badass Christian" by Kyle Alexander shows how man's traditions can negate the effects of God's word BATON ROUGE, La. - "Badass Christian" (ISBN 9798351301624 ) is a thoughtful Christian novel that strives to show how the traditions of man can negate the word of God. But as readers will learn, with God's grace, everything can be all right. "Badass Christian" follows Sugar and her life as a girl adopted at birth into a provincial Southern black religious family. Developing an identity that is flawed with hypocrisy due to observing and duplicating the behavior of the adults around her, Sugar finds herself withdrawing from her religious upbringing. However, when she connects with Reverend Bebo, the local preacher whose fall from grace coincides with her spiritual crisis, the two of them embark on a journey of love they had no business beginning in the first place. Told through eyes of a lifelong guru of the pew, "Badass Christian" works to peel back the curtain of small-town Protestantism while allowing readers to hear the voices of actual church congregants in a time when the plight of Christian leadership is frequently in the news. Covering a wide range of emotions while presenting readers with a bit of Biblical wisdom, Alexander works to entertain readers while showing them that the grace of God is sufficient for a self-proclaimed "Badass Christian." "Badass Christian" is available for sale online at Amazon.com, Kindle, Google Play and other channels. About the Author: Kyle Alexander is a native Louisianan, mother of two sons and grandmother to three grandsons. As a lifetime Christian and longtime "badass Christian," she writes Christian fiction, songs and poetry, and "Badass Christian" is her first novel. Alexander majored in mass communications with a concentration in journalism at Southeastern Louisiana University.

Download or read book Badass Habits written by Jen Sincero and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Jen Sincero gets to the core of transformation: habits--breaking, making, understanding, and sticking with them like you've never stuck before. Badass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often don't keep) on social media. Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again--our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears. Badass Habits features Jen's trademark hilarious voice and offers a much-needed fresh take on the conventional wisdom and science that shape the optimism (or pessimism?) around the age-old topic of habits. The book includes enlightening interviews with people who've successfully strengthened their discipline backbones, new perspective on how to train our brains to become our best selves, and offers a simple, 21 day, step-by-step guide for ditching habits that don't serve us and developing the habits we deem most important. Habits shouldn't be impossible to reset--and with healthy boundaries, knowledge of--and permission to go after--our desires, and an easy to implement plan of action, we can make any new goal a joyful habit.
Book Synopsis Badass Women of the Bible by : Irie Lynne Session
Download or read book Badass Women of the Bible written by Irie Lynne Session and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Typically, the stories/narratives detailing the lives and experiences of biblical women are written from the perspective of the male gaze; in service or part of a larger male-centered narrative; misrepresented and misinterpreted reflecting a patriarchal and misogynist culture; divided into mothers and whores; demon possessed or otherwise ill; and rarely studied or the focus of preaching. This Bible study/sermon series will elevate and center the narratives of biblical women who either directly or indirectly, experienced some kind of emotional distress amid a patriarchal culture and found a way to navigate life in ways that enabled their own flourishing as well as that of the larger community. We will mine these stories for womanist tenets of traditional communalism (community wholeness), radical subjectivity (she matters), redemptive self-love (loving oneself regardless-bodycentric), and critical engagement (confronting the Powers).
Book Synopsis Brief Biographies of Badass Bitches by : Lisa Lee Curtis
Download or read book Brief Biographies of Badass Bitches written by Lisa Lee Curtis and published by Uppertown Press. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excluded from so many stories that highlight barely adequate men throughout history are the women who were accomplishing amazing things with little to none of the credit. The women that we’ve discounted as merely a “pretty face.” Or who were painted as a villain in a story when it’s likely that wasn’t even remotely the case. Or the women we’ve disregarded altogether. These badass bitches deserve to have their stories told - their real stories, not just the gratuitous headlines or justifications for their omission. And we deserve the opportunity to get to know them better.

Book Synopsis The Book of Christian by : Nicholas Griffin Lombardi
Download or read book The Book of Christian written by Nicholas Griffin Lombardi and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book begins chronicling the character of Christian. It starts with a look into His privileged upbringing in middle class America. It describes Christian’s faith as being extremely real and visceral. Christian moves to Boston and one day prays this prayer: “God I want you to unify all Christians into one movement and I want to lead it.” God answers His prayer and shows Christian a passage of scripture that said, “If you obey my commands like David did, I will be with you like I was with David, will build you a house like I built him and will give Israel to you.” On this same day Christian was anointed with oil, confirming God’s call. He meets a girl and through her enjoys a first member of the movement. He loses His job and began to encounter a yearning to be homeless. He was without a job and the white boy from the suburbs in Him wanted to experience a homeless stint to grow as a person. He experiences the rough and tumble part of shelter life but one day met a man named Clarence. Clarence was a gentle soul but had a secret— he had a demon that manifested in him. Christian treasured the experiences with the demons because of how they strengthened His faith. Soon Christian writes His family asking if they would put Him up for a few months in Atlanta, they agreed. In Atlanta He has a terrifying experience with who He thought was God at the time but was actually the Devil. The experience landed Him into the hands of a psych ward. He wrestles with Himself and the doctors trying to tell them how fine He was but the doctors failed to understand the different spiritual realities that were present in Christian’s case; so He trudged along, enduring the 21st century psychiatric world. Christian by this time knew that He not only would have a church movement but that He would be the temporal King of Israel. He would begin as prime minister then convert the country into a monarchy like the ancient kings in Israel’s past. Christian meets another girl and is told that He will have multiple wives. The book ends after describing how Christian would be the leader of a conglomerate before becoming King. The book ends all of a sudden and that’s the magic of it.
Book Synopsis Religion, Race, and COVID-19 by : Stacey M. Floyd-Thomas
Download or read book Religion, Race, and COVID-19 written by Stacey M. Floyd-Thomas and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines how the dynamics emerging from the pandemic affect our most vulnerable populations and shape a new religious landscape The COVID-19 pandemic upset virtually every facet of society and, in many cases, exposed gross inequality and dysfunction. The particular dynamics emerging from the coronavirus pandemic have been felt most intensely by America’s most vulnerable populations, who are disproportionately people of color and the working poor, the people whom the Bible refers to as “the least of these.” This book makes the case that the pandemic was not just a medical phenomenon, or an economic or social one, but also a religious one. Religious practice has been altered in profound ways. Controversies around religious freedom have been re-ignited over debates concerning whether government can restrict church services. Christian white supremacists not only defied shelter in place orders, but found new ways to propagate racist attacks, with their White Christian identity fueling their reactions to the pandemic. Some religious leaders, including those in communities of color, saw the virus as an indicator of God’s wrath, or as a divine test, and viewed altering their traditional practices to mitigate the virus’s spread as a weakening of faith. Religion, Race, and COVID-19 argues that there is a religious hierarchy in US society that puts “the least of these” last while prioritizing those who benefit most from white privilege. Yet these vulnerable populations draw on theological and religious resources to contend with these existential threats. The volume shows how social transformation occurs when faith is both formed and informed during crises, offering compelling insight into the saliency and lasting impact of religiosity within human culture.
Book Synopsis Resisting Apartheid America by : Miguel A. De La Torre
Download or read book Resisting Apartheid America written by Miguel A. De La Torre and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miguel De La Torre foresees a future America dominated by white nationalists—and equips us with the tools to resist it. In Burying White Privilege, he opened our eyes to white Christians’ complicity in maintaining racist hierarchy in America. In its sequel, Decolonizing Christianity, he encouraged us to decolonize Christianity and return it to its revolutionary roots. Now, in his conclusion to the trilogy, Miguel A. De La Torre shows us the America on our horizon, should we continue down the path of heretical white Christianity—and the outlook is not bright. Resisting Apartheid America assesses the past and present threads of systemic racism in American politics, from Plymouth Rock to the Capitol on January 6. Sweeping and unsparing in his critique, De La Torre takes on authors revered in Christian theology, including Paul, Augustine, and heroes of the Reformation, aiming to uproot the ideological foundations of racism in Christianity. Following these through lines of oppression, he warns of a decline in democracy and rise in political violence—but equips us with the nonviolent ethical framework to resist this bleak future. Resisting Apartheid America is a clarion call to Christians to remake America in the image of the God of liberation.
