#1:
A Way other than Our Own: Devotions for Lent
Walter Brueggemann
*** $1.99 ***
Lent recalls times of wilderness and wandering, from newly freed Hebrew slaves in exile to Jesus’ temptation in the desert. God has always called people out of their safe, walled cities into uncomfortable places, revealing paths they would never have chosen. Despite our culture of self-indulgence, we too are called to walk an alternative path– one of humility, justice, and peace. Walter Brueggemann’s thought-provoking reflections for the season of Lent invite us to consider the challenging, beautiful life that comes with walking the way of grace.
#2:
Lent of Liberation: Confronting the Legacy of American Slavery
Cheri Mills
*** $4.99 ***
“This devotional is exactly the kind of tool that s needed today it offers a clear pathway into the type of deep, individual reflection that is required in order to heal the wounds of systemic racism. If you ve ever wondered what you can do to become more antiracist, Lent of Liberation is a great place to start.”
–Kerry Connelly, author of Good White Racist? Confronting Your Role in Racial Injustice
#3:
Propaganda: The Formation of Men’s Attitudes
Jacques Ellul
*** $5.99 ***
“A far more frightening work than any of the nightmare novels of George Orwell. With the logic which is the great instrument of French thought, [Ellul] explores and attempts to prove the thesis that propaganda, whether its ends are demonstrably good or bad, is not only destructive to democracy, it is perhaps the most serious threat to humanity operating in the modern world.”
— Los Angeles Times
#4:
Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology
Neil Postman
*** $4.99 ***
*** PLUS, Buy the Ebook, and get
the Audiobook for only $7.49!!!
“Neil Postman is one of the most level-headed analysts of education, media, and technology, and in this book he spells out the increasing dependence upon technology, numerical quantification, and misappropriation of “Scientism” to all human affairs. No simple technophobe, Postman argues insightfully and writes with a stylistic flair, profound sense of humor, and love of language increasingly rare in our hastily scribbled e-mail-saturated world.”
#5:
Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters
Annie Dillard
*** $1.99 ***
*** PLUS, Buy the Ebook, and get
the Audiobook for only $7.49!!!
“”A collection of meditations like polished stones–painstakingly worded, tough-minded, yet partial to mystery, and peerless when it comes to injecting larger resonances into the natural world.”
— Kirkus Reviews
