Selected as a Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC) “Significant Jewish Book” Jacob was running away from home. One night he lay down in the wilderness to sleep and had one of the great mystical experiences of Western religion. He dreamed there was a ladder, with angels ascending and descending, stretched between heaven and earth. For thousands of years, people have tried to overhear what the messengers came down to tell Jacob, and us. Now in a daring blend of scholarship and imagination, psychology and history, Lawrence Kushner gathers an inspiring range of interpretations of Genesis 28:16 given by sages, from Shmuel bar Nachmani in third-century Palestine to Hannah Rachel Werbermacher of Ludomir who lived in Poland two hundred years ago. Through a fascinating new literary genre and Kushner’s creative reconstruction of the teachers’ lives and times, we enter the study halls and sit at the feet of these spiritual masters to learn what each discovered about God’s Self and ourselves as they ascend and descend Jacob’s ladder. In this illuminating journey, our spiritual guides ask and answer the fundamental questions of human experience: Who am I? Who is God? What is God’s role in history? What is the nature of evil? How should I relate to God and other people? Could the universe really have a self? Rabbi Lawrence Kushner brilliantly reclaims a millennium of Jewish spirituality for contemporary seekers of all faiths and backgrounds. God Was in This Place & I, i Did Not Know is about God and about you; it is about discovering God’s place in the universe, and yours.

White evangelicals have struggled to understand or enter into modern conversations on race and racism, because their inherited and imagined world has not prepared them for this moment. American Southerners, in particular, carry additional obstacles to such conversations, because their regional identity is woven together with the values and histories of white evangelicalism. In Know Your Place, Justin Phillips examines the three community loyalties (white, southern, and evangelical) that shaped his racial imagination. Phillips examines how each community creates blind spots that overlap with the others, insulating the individual from alternative narratives, making it difficult to conceive of a world different than the dominant white evangelical world of the South. When their world is challenged or rejected outright, it can feel like nothing short of the end of the world. Blending together personal experiences with ethics and pastoral sensibilities, Phillips traces for white, southern evangelicals a line running from the past through the present, to help his beloved communities see how their loyalties—their stories, histories, and beliefs—have harmed their neighbors. In order to truly love, repair, and reconcile brokenness, you first have to know your place.

The story of a child refugee who faced her fears, found her home and accidentally made history When she was just nine, Golriz Ghahraman and her parents were forced to flee their home in Iran. After a terrifying and uncertain journey, they landed in Auckland where they were able to seek asylum and - ultimately - create a new life.

A story of exploration and the search for happiness. Sometimes the things that bring us joy in life... aren't things at all! "When adventure awaits, you must not be late. We left by the moon's bright light." The Place I Know Best, is adapted from "Lullaby," an adventurous song, swaying between gentle melody and spirited epic... In 1986, talented musician and loving father, Lawrence Bauer, penned the tune for his two young sons, Greg and Jeff. It became a staple that was sung at the boys' bedtime, around campfires, and during family gatherings. But, as time passed and the brothers got older, the song was slowly shuffled off into memory, and a single recording was tucked away into the family's storage. Sadly, on October 31, 2007, Lawrence, who had struggled against mental illness for many years, lost the battle and took his own life. Although things would never be the same for his sons, life went on. Nine years later, in 2016, Jeff became a father. An event that inspired Greg, also a talented musician, to dust off their father's song and bring it new life. With a desire to ignite imaginations, bring hope, and provide awareness to mental health, Greg recorded his own version of "Lullaby," which he, and Cody Taylor, have adapted for print with this book. "Lullaby," is available for purchase at iTunes and Amazon Music: Gregory Bauer - Lullaby 50% of profits to the publisher will be donated to mental health charities: Child Mind InstituteBBRF - Brain & Behavior Research Foundation NAMI - National Alliance on Mental Illness
