Forty Days on Being an Eight

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“If you're an Eight like me, your need to challenge the status quo, run through walls, and even fight for justice is dangerous. This book can help you be strong, not just play strong. Strong enough to speak up. Strong enough to stand up. Even strong enough to shut up. If you are also a White person who leads things, like me, Sandra may not be the voice you want, but she's the voice you need in order to be better anchored in accountability to men and women of color. Your life will be sharpened and strengthened by what Sandra has excavated from her own life and shares with us here. If you've grown a little weary being the champion and defender of others—or if you're concerned that your energy isn't always going toward those who need it most—Sandra Van Opstal is the guide you've been waiting for, to champion you and to help you hone your energies toward creating the world where everyone rises.”

Waging Peace

History & Biography

“It's time. Time to challenge the very foundations of 'us vs. them,' at home and afar. But even if you think it's time to end war, protesting will never be enough. Like Diana, we have to put our lives on the line. We have to wage peace. This book will show you how.”

When We Stand

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“'People are homeless by choice.' That's what I used to tell myself. Not that they wanted it, but their personal choices resulted in it. So it ultimately was their fault and their responsibility alone. But Terence Lester knows better. He has experienced homelessness and now he's helping the rest of us draw near to those we might otherwise fear, scapegoat, and want to blame. If you care about justice and the transformation of your own biases at the intersection of personal dignity and structural change, Terence Lester is a leader to follow.”
