Paperback. Zustand: Good. In her powerhouse debut, Tamice Spencer-Helms exposes the leaven of whiteness that pervades so much of Christianity in America today. At a young age, the Black church introduced her to a God of love, empowerment, and joy. But an encounter with White Jesus set her on a path that nearly destroyed her faith altogether. Persistent police brutality against Black people, and the white church's persistent excuses for it, forced Spencer-Helms to carefully identify how the idol of whiteness keeps Christians captive, and how we can burn the idol down. With brilliant prose and gripping storytelling, she takes us on the painful but liberating journey of extracting the leaven from spirituality, and rediscovering the parts of ourselves that a colonized Christianity seeks to suppress. This book will confront readers with the stomach-turning reality of constant injustice, but also delight and overwhelm?them with the freedom of Christ.To learn more, visit www.faithunleavened.com.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This book is the first in-depth account of the uprising in Iran that began on September 16, 2022, when a young woman, Mahsa Amini, was killed by the morality police. In the months that followed, protests and demonstrations erupted across Iran, representing the most serious challenge to the Iranian regime in decades. Women have played a key role in these protests, refusing to wear a hijab and cutting their hair in public to chants of 'Woman, Life, Freedom'. In Farhad Khosrokhavar's account, these protests represent the first truly feminist movement in Iran, and one of the first in the Muslim world, where women have been in the vanguard. There have been many movements in the Muslim world in which women have taken part, but rarely have women--and especially young women--been the driving force. The Mahsa Movement also championed non-Islamic, secularized values, based on the joy of living, the assertion of bodily freedom, and the quest for gender equality and democracy. Khosrokhavar gives a full account of the context of and background to the events triggered by the killing of Mahsa Amini, analyzes the character of the Mahsa Movement and the regime's repressive response to it, and draws out its broader significance as one of the most significant feminist movements and political uprisings in the Islamic world.…

"-Otis Moss, III, Pastor, Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago, and author of Dancing in the DarknessFaith can get messy. Whether we're talking about personal beliefs or the ideologies that end up shaping our institutions, there's a lot to wade through. As people drifting through-and sometimes away from-faith communities reexamine their convictions, there's more desire than ever to live freely and to grant our curiosity an audience.In Theologizin' Bigger: Homilies on Living Freely and Loving Wholly, pastor, podcaster, and public theologian Trey Ferguson encourages you to re-engage your imagination and construct theologies that speak to our current contexts, just as people of faith have done throughout history.With personal stories and some lo-fi truth telling, Ferguson leads us through topics like how we read the Bible, our inherited traditions, the shame and confusion we experience, and a faith that can shape tomorrow. Ferguson writes, "Theology requires imagination. The ability to imagine is part of what makes us human. And salvation is, in part, a rehumanization project."You don't have to ignore your nagging doubts and honest questions. You don't have to check any part of yourself at the door. You can find the faith to live freely and love wholly. When you're Theologizin' Bigger, you get to decide where the crown goes.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Cynthia Vacca Davis's Intersexion is a profoundly eye opening, challenging, and ultimately inspiring exploration . . . -Rev. Brandan Robertson, Dry Bones and Holy Wars: A Call for Social and Spiritual RenewalSo many of us are finding ourselves at an intersection where we must pick either the safety of our communities or stepping into life as our true selves. It can be a defining moment, and sometimes one that our very lives depend upon. Intersexion is a life-giving true story about choosing between social acceptance or health, fear or authenticity. Cynthia, an adjunct professor with a trunk full of ungraded papers and snack wrappers, has been an LGBTQIA+ ally for years-in convenient ways. She enjoys the company of her queer friends-but her support isn't risky; it hasn't cost her anything. Until she meets Danny. The youngest child in a conservative evangelical family, Danny played the role of dutiful daughter-Dani, with an i-which was safer than jeopardizing faith and family. Seemingly born female, yet desperate to be seen as the boy and then man he truly is, Danny kept playing along, until his life and health depended on one thing: the truth.Told in both Dani's and Cynthia's voices, Intersexion is a moving, hopeful exploration of the cost of being known-as an intersex minority, ally, or asker of difficult questions-and what it means to come into one's own. It's a book for so many of us who are desperately craving a more authentic life, and a story about the intersections we find ourselves in by no choice of our own.Named in the Top 34 LGTBQ Christian Books of 2022 by Q Spirit.…
