  Reimagining Apologetics - The...

  How should one proclaim of the gospel of Jesus Christ in a secular age?
  For many Christians, the traditional approach of apologetics has grown stale. In light of the current secular climate, as described by Charles Taylor and others, rhetorical strategies that previously served the church and apologists well are no longer effective.
  Justin Bailey seeks to address this dilemma by infusing apologetics with an appeal to the imagination, the aesthetic, and the affective. Demonstrating that this is possible, he engages with two examples of those who have done apologetics through the imagination: George MacDonald and Marilynne Robinson. By beginning with the imaginative and the aesthetic dimensions of faith before expounding proofs, Bailey argues, hearers of the good news will find both their hearts and their minds engaged.

  Book 1: Dyslexia may be more common than you think. And it’s important to know about it if someone has it. What’s even more crucial, is knowing how to recognize it, learning to deal with it, and find solutions to solve some of the common problems it can create. 
    
  In this book, you will find answers to many questions you may have about dyslexia. Topics vary from the symptoms, the strengths of a person who has it, treatment, the relationship to math, and how society and school systems have positively and negatively managed to cope with this learning disability. 
    
    
    
  Book 2: People with dyslexia may struggle with many things. As kids, they try to keep up with the reading process in their classes. As adults, they may be good at reading but still not like it or have trouble with vocabulary. 
    
  What kinds of other problems come with being dyslexic? 
    
  This book will address these issues. 
    
    
    
  Book 3: If you want a deeper comprehension of the causes of and solutions for dyslexia, then this is your chance, because this guide talks about exactly that. 
  What’s also included, is an accurate comparison between ADHD and dyslexia and the possible factors that contribute to both. With these data, you can lie the connection in your head between the two and more clearly see patterns in behavior and cognizant skills that others can’t. 
  Last but not least, an outline is made, accompanied by some thoughts to consider, about teaching methods to help children read. 
  All in all, this book can help you on your path to understanding dyslexia and its consequences better.

  The Exvangelicals - Loving...

  This program is read by the author."An intimate window into the world of American evangelicalism. Fellow exvangelicals will find McCammon’s story both startlingly familiar and immensely clarifying, while those looking in from the outside can find no better introduction to the subculture that has shaped the hopes and fears of millions of Americans." —Kristin Kobes Du Mez, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus and John Wayne The first definitive book that names the massive social movement of people leaving the church: the exvangelicals.  Growing up in a deeply evangelical family in the Midwest in the ‘80s and ‘90s, Sarah McCammon was strictly taught to fear God, obey him, and not question the faith. Persistently worried that her gay grandfather would go to hell unless she could reach him, or that her Muslim friend would need to be converted, and that she, too, would go to hell if she did not believe fervently enough, McCammon was a rule-follower and—most of the time—a true believer. But through it all, she was increasingly plagued by fears and deep questions as the belief system she'd been carefully taught clashed with her expanding understanding of the outside world.After spending her early adult life striving to make sense of an unraveling worldview, by her 30s, she found herself face-to-face with it once again as she covered the Trump campaign for NPR, where she witnessed first-hand the power and influence that evangelical Christian beliefs held on the political right. Sarah also came to discover that she was not alone: She is among a rising generation of the children of evangelicalism who are growing up and fleeing the fold, who are thinking for themselves and deconstructing what feel like the “alternative facts” of their childhood.Rigorously reported and deeply personal, The Exvangelicals is the story of the people who make up this generational tipping point, including Sarah herself. Part memoir, part investigative journalism, this is the first definitive book that names and describes the post-evangelical movement: identifying its origins, telling the stories of its members, and examining its vast cultural, social, and political impact.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

  Patriotic Grace

  Peggy Noonan

  Peggy Noonan's Wall Street Journal column has been must reading for thoughtful liberals and conservatives alike. Now she issues an urgent, heartfelt call for all Americans to support the next President. Because it is not the threats and challenges we face, but how we face them that defines us as a nation. 
  The terrible events of 9/11 brought us together in a way not seen since World War II. But the stresses and divisions of the Bush years have driven us apart to a point that is unhealthy and dangerous. Today, Noonan argues, the national mood has swung the other way and it is well past time for politicians to catch up. We long for leaders who can summon us to greatness and sacrifice, as they did in the long struggles against fascism and communism. 
  In this timely essay, written in the pamphleteering tradition of Tom Paine's Common Sense, Noonan reminds us that we must face our common challenges together—not by rising above partisanship, but by reaffirming what it means to be American.

In its place, she proposes "nurturance culture" as the opposite of rape culture, suggesting that models of care and accountability — different from "call-outs" — can move communities toward dismantling systems of dominance and oppression. 
  This audiobook contains the viral 2016 essay "The Opposite of Rape Culture is Nurturance Culture," which also appears as Chapter One of the book Turn This World Inside Out: The Emergence of Nurturance Culture, AK Press, 2019.
