Emily D. and You and Me

Women

“Emily D. and You and Me is at once a painful, insightful, and hopeful book. . . . Ellen’s beautifully written self-revelation of her pain and her healing journey will encourage many readers to know that they don’t have to be permanent prisoners of childhood violations. A meaningful and whole life is possible. Well done, Ellen . . . brilliantly conceived and executed.”

Killing from the Inside Out

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The soul of the United States is infected by its addiction to unending war. The suicide rate among soldiers and war veterans has reached epidemic heights. Bob Meagher's seminal and timely work, with its reach from antiquity to today, shows that there never was a just war that would leave its participants unscarred. We live with the terrible consequences of a process from 325 CE when Christian values began to be transposed with imperial values. None of us are hardwired for war, so when we kill each other there will be moral and spiritual injury no matter how justified the war may be.”

The Ubuntu God

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“"Anyone who is interested in theology, political liberation, or South Africa will want to read Samuel Paul's fine work, The Ubuntu God. It is from the Acknowledgment and the Introduction that we see the perspective from which Paul writes: he makes plain how his place as a black south african of Indian descent in the pecking order of racial oppression and the influence of his political activist uncle serve as the backdrop to his writing. In some measure, Paul the intellectual is still 'making sense' of his nation's histories of oppression and liberation as well as how theology, an African worldview, and ideology work to imprison and to free. The result is illuminating both for Paul and for us, the grateful readers.”
