Haight Words presents an anthology of thoughtful poetry from people sharing their experiences of being homeless on one of the most famous streets in one of the most prosperous cities in the world: San Francisco, the heart of America's tech revolution. Colorful illustrations accompanying the writings serve as a visual commentary to the growing plight in so many of our communities. Haight Words' provocative approach aims to awaken the senses through illumination of silenced voices. It sends an invitation to challenge social constructs by taking the smallest of actions toward a collective shift that can prove profoundly beneficial to all concerned.

"If Christian hope is reduced to the salvation of the soul in a heaven beyond death," wrote Jürgen Moltmann, "it loses its power to renew life and change the world, and its flame is quenched." Thomas Rausch, SJ, agrees, arguing that too often the hoped-for eschaton has been replaced by an almost exclusive emphasis on the "four last things"-death and judgment, heaven and hell. But eschatology cannot be reduced to the individual salvation. In his new book, Rausch explores eschatology's intersections with Christology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and, perhaps most intriguingly, liturgy. With the early Christians, he sees God's future as a radically social reality, already present initially in Christian worship, especially in the celebration of the Eucharist. This fresh and insightful work of theology engages voices both ancient and contemporary.

It's one thing to say that we believe in justice for all, but quite another to actively seek social justice for the poor in our midst. After extensive research, the author is convinced that a huge gap exists between talking about justice and actually doing justice for the poor. She believes that achieving justice for all requires a deep and broad approach that involves the integration of Catholic social teaching with Scripture and Tradition so that charity and justice actually become social justice. Only when people-every race, nationality, class, and religion-are educated for justice, built on respect for the person and the responsibility of individuals and the community, will we in the U.S. be able to cut through the rhetoric of blame and move toward solidarity.

Christian thinking about the theology of creation has received new impetus in recent decades. This is due to, among other things, a more holistic approach to Holy Scripture, fresh insights from the history of Christian doctrine, the stimulus afforded by contemporary philosophies, and the desire to praise and thank God the Creator for the gift of creation. This little volume opens up all of those areas in an informed yet accessible way.

George W. Bush's "Mission Accomplished" banner in 2003 and the misleading linkages of Saddam Hussein to the 9/11 terrorist attacks awoke many Americans to the techniques used by the White House to put the country on a war footing. Yet Bush was simply following in the footsteps of his predecessors, as the essays in this standout volume reveal in illuminating detail. Written in a lively and accessible style, Selling War in a Media Age is a fascinating, thought-provoking, must-read volume that reveals the often-brutal ways that the goal of influencing public opinion has shaped how American presidents have approached the most momentous duty of their office: waging war.
