Summary:

Have you had enough of not feeling enough? Grace Valentine identifies the lies that many young women believe about their identity and self-worth, sharing her own struggles with these lies and how she overcame them through her faith in Jesus.

Young women today are constantly told they are not enough for this world—not pretty enough, not smart enough, not exciting enough, and just plain not good enough.

Grace Valentine has felt the pressure of trying to survive in a toxic culture, let alone thrive. But she’s had enough. Grace uses her story to confront the lies the world tells us every day—lies such as:

- You are beautiful—but only because a guy told you so

- Love must be earned and isn’t freely given

- You should forget your past

- You will never be enough

Am I Enough? is a line in the sand. It’s a declaration that we will never be enough for this world, because we were created by Someone better for something better. Grace's fresh voice will help you leave your insecurities behind and realize your unique identity in Christ. Discover how to push past the lies and find confidence in who you were made to be!

Title: Healing

Author: Gayl Jones

Narrator: Bahni Turpin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:29:00

Language: English

Release date: 07-10-18

Publisher: Beacon Press

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction, Black Literature

Summary:

National Book Award finalist follows a black faith healer whose shrewd observations about human nature are told with the rich lyricism of the oral storytelling tradition.

From the acclaimed author of Corregidora, The Healing follows Harlan Jane Eagleton as she travels to small towns, converting skeptics, restoring minds, and healing bodies. But before she found her calling, Harlan had been a minor rock star’s manager and, before that, a beautician. Harlan retraces her story to the beginning, when she once had a fling with the rock star’s ex-husband and found herself infatuated with an Afro-German horse dealer. Along the way she’s somehow lost her own husband, a medical anthropologist now traveling with a medicine woman across eastern Africa. Harlan draws us deeper into her world and the mystery at the heart of her tale: the story of her first healing.

The Healing is a lyrical and at times humorous exploration of the struggle to let go of pain, anger, and even love. Slipping seamlessly back through Harlan’s memories in a language rich with the textured cadences of unfiltered dialogue, Gayl Jones weaves her story to its dramatic—and unexpected—beginning.

Title: Reimagining Equality: Stories of Gender, Race, and Finding Home

Author: Anita Hill

Narrator: Bahni Turpin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8:50:00

Language: English

Release date: 07-03-18

Publisher: Beacon Press

Genres: History, Non-Fiction, World, Social Science

Summary:

From the heroic lawyer who spoke out against Clarence Thomas in the historic confirmation hearings twenty years ago

 

At the historic Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, Anita Hill spoke out courageously about workplace sexual harassment. Now she turns to the topic of home. As our country reels from the subprime mortgage meltdown and the resulting devastation of so many families and communities, Hill takes us inside this “crisis of home” and exposes its deep roots in race and gender inequities, which continue to imperil every American’s ability to achieve the American Dream.  In this period of recovery and its aftermath, what is at stake is the inclusive democracy the Constitution promises. The achievement of that ideal, Hill argues, depends on each American’s ability to secure a place that provides access to every opportunity our country offers. Building on the great strides of the women’s and civil rights movements, Hill presents concrete proposals that encourage us to broaden our thinking about home and to reimagine equality for America’s future.

Title: White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism

Author: Robin DiAngelo

Narrator: Amy Landon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6:21:00

Language: English

Release date: 06-26-18

Publisher: Beacon Press

Genres: Non-Fiction, Health & Wellness, Marriage & Family, Social Science

Summary:

The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality.

In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

Title: Once Upon a Farm: Lessons on Growing Love, Life, and Hope on a New Frontier

Author: Rory Feek

Narrator: Rory Feek

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6:12:00

Language: English

Release date: 06-19-18

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Health & Wellness, Death & Bereavement, Parenting

Summary:

National Bestseller

Sometimes it’s not only what we plant but where we’re planted.

Now raising their four-year-old daughter, Indiana, alone, after Joey’s passing, Rory Feek digs deeper into the soil of his life and the unusual choices he and his wife, Joey, made together and the ones he’s making now to lead his family into the future. 

When Rory Feek and his older daughters moved into a run-down farmhouse almost twenty years ago, he had no idea of the almost fairy-tale love story that was going to unfold on that small piece of Tennessee land . . . and the lessons he and his family would learn along the way.

Now two years after Joey’s passing, as Rory takes their four-year-old daughter Indiana’s hand and walks forward into an unknown future, he takes readers on his incredible journey from heartbreak to hope and, ultimately, the kind of healing that comes only through faith.

A raw and vulnerable look deeper into Rory’s heart, Once Upon a Farm is filled with powerful stories of love, life, and hope and the insights that one extraordinary, ordinary man in bib overalls has gleamed along the way.

As opposed to homesteading, this is instead a book on lifesteading as Rory learns to cultivate faith, love, and fatherhood on a small farm while doing everything, at times, but farming. With frequent stories of his and Joey’s years together, and how those guide his life today, Rory unpacks just what it means to be open to new experiences.

“This isn’t a how-to book; it’s more of a how we, or more accurately, how He, God, planted us on a few acres of land and grew something bigger than Joey or I could have ever imagined.”

Title: Queer History of the United States

Author: Michael Bronski

Narrator: Vikas Adams

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:29:00

Language: English

Release date: 06-12-18

Publisher: Beacon Press

Genres: Non-Fiction, Social Science

Summary:

Winner of a 2012 Stonewall Book Award in nonfiction

The first book to cover the entirety of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender history, from pre-1492 to the present.

In the 1620s, Thomas Morton broke from Plymouth Colony and founded Merrymount, which celebrated same-sex desire, atheism, and interracial marriage. Transgender evangelist Jemima Wilkinson, in the early 1800s, changed her name to “Publick Universal Friend,” refused to use pronouns, fought for gender equality, and led her own congregation in upstate New York. In the mid-nineteenth century, internationally famous Shakespearean actor Charlotte Cushman led an openly lesbian life, including a well-publicized “female marriage.” And in the late 1920s, Augustus Granville Dill was fired by W. E. B. Du Bois from the NAACP’s magazine the Crisis after being arrested for a homosexual encounter. These are just a few moments of queer history that Michael Bronski highlights in this groundbreaking book.

 

Intellectually dynamic and endlessly provocative, A Queer History of the United States is more than a “who’s who” of queer history: it is a book that radically challenges how we understand American history. Drawing upon primary documents, literature, and cultural histories, noted scholar and activist Michael Bronski charts the breadth of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender history, from 1492 to the 1990s, and has written a testament to how the LGBT experience has profoundly shaped our country, culture, and history.

 

A Queer History of the United States abounds with startling examples of unknown or often ignored aspects of American history—the ineffectiveness of sodomy laws in the colonies, the prevalence of cross-dressing women soldiers in the Civil War, the impact of new technologies on LGBT life in the nineteenth century, and how rock music and popular culture were, in large part, responsible for the devastating backlash against gay rights in the late 1970s. Most striking, Bronski documents how, over centuries, various incarnations of social purity movements have consistently attempted to regulate all sexuality, including fantasies, masturbation, and queer sex. Resisting these efforts, same-sex desire flourished and helped make America what it is today.

 

At heart, A Queer History of the United States is simply about American history. It is a book that will matter both to LGBT people and heterosexuals. This engrossing and revelatory history will make readers appreciate just how queer America really is.

Resumen:

Rogelio, al que todos creían muerto en 1936, regresa en junio de 1977 al pueblo donde nació y fue fusilado junto a su padre y su hermano. Son los días de las primeras elecciones democráticas. Cuando la noticia se da a conocer, los sentimientos de los supervivientes se cruzan y reaparecen tras más de 40 años. Todos dan por hecho que vuelve para vengarse, pero en su represo lo acompaña su esposa, veinte años más joven que él, y su hija de 19 años. Rogelio no sabe quién le delató entonces, por qué está vivo, por qué las balas de los que le fusilaron no le alcanzaron. Tras caer a la fosa logró escapar de ella en la oscuridad antes de que les cubrieran con tierra. Su hermana sabe que está vivo desde hace 20 años, pero lo ha silenciado por miedo. Ahora que Franco ha muerto es la hora del reencuentro. ¿Qué busca Rogelio? ¿Solo visitar la fosa donde están su padre y su hermano junto a otros vecinos y reencontrarse con sus orígenes? ¿Cómo reaccionará su primera novia, el amor de su vida, o su mejor amigo, que se cambió de bando para sobrevivir y ahora es su marido? ¿Y el topo que ha vivido 38 años encerrado esperando a que el dictador muriera? ¿Qué hará el hijo del alcalde que lideró la revuelta en julio del 36 y que ahora gobierna la villa? ¿Y el sargento de la guardia civil? ¿Se desatará una espiral de violencia en los días en que los españoles sellan, por fin, la paz con su voto en las urnas?

Then there's Sam, a 15-year-old boy who dreams of getting a 1980 Mazda RX-7 for his sixteenth birthday but has to work at a Greek restaurant to fund his dream. Finally, there's Seff, a 21-year-old on the brink of manhood, trying to survive along with his roommate, working as waiters and barely making ends meet. These three stories are told with heart, humor, and an uncompromising look at what it meant to grow up in Texas during the 1980s and 1990s.
