#1:
The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism
Katherine Stewart
*** $2.99 ***
“Stewart provides a comprehensive, chilling look at America’s Christian nationalist movement, which she convincingly portrays as a highly organized political coalition that has ‘already transformed the political landscape and shaken the foundations upon which lay our democratic norms and institutions.’ . . . Her insightful investigation places the power of Christian nationalism into full context.”

#2:
We Make the Road by Walking: A Year-Long Quest for Spiritual Formation, Reorientation, and Activation
Brian McLaren
*** $2.99 ***
“It is at once inspiring and challenging, ancient and contemporary, intellectually rigorous and profoundly practical. It changed the way I engage Scripture, the way I pray, the way I experience communion, and the way I interact with my neighbors.”
―Rachel Held Evans
#3:

“I grew up in a Maryland that lay years, miles and worlds away from the one whose summers and sorrows Ta-Nehisi Coates evokes in this memoir with such tenderness and science; and the greatest proof of the power of this work is the way that, reading it, I felt that time, distance and barriers of race and class meant nothing. That in telling his story he was telling my own story, for me.—Michael Chabon, bestselling author of The Yiddish Policemen’ s Union and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
#4:
Fear of Falling: The Inner Life of the Middle Class
Barbara Ehrenreich
*** $ 2.99 ***
“Ehrenreich charges that the U.S. middle class (especially professionals) has retreated from liberalism to a meaner, more selfish outlook. Within this shift, she claims, the New Right successfully waged a spurious, sloganeering campaign asserting that liberalism represents the interests of a narrow elite… Faulting liberals’ “shameful silence” on Reagan’s economic and social policies, she urges the middle class to join America’s working-class majority in an effort to redistribute wealth and power downward to those who need it most.”

#5:
The Engineer of Beasts: A Novel
Scott Russell Sanders
*** $1.99 ***
“Sanders’ writing has a polished, literary complexity: images sharply seen, language graceful and well-used, plot-threads spun out, and his cast of characters is wild and wonderful. Thoughtful, patient readers with a taste for satire will enjoy this now-funny, now-tender coming-of-age story.”
