In The Color of Compromise, Jemar Tisby takes readers back to the roots of sustained racism and injustice in the American church. Filled with powerful stories and examples of American Christianity's racial past, Tisby's historical narrative highlights the obvious ways people of faith have actively worked against racial justice, as well as the complicit silence of racial moderates. Identifying the cultural and institutional tables that must be flipped to bring about progress, Tisby provides an in-depth diagnosis for a racially divided American church and suggests ways to foster a more equitable and inclusive environment among God's people.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award, and the American Book Award, the bestselling Common Ground is much more than the story of the busing crisis in Boston as told through the experiences of three families. As Studs Terkel remarked, it's "gripping, indelible...a truth about all large American cities." "An epic of American city life...a story of such hypnotic specificity that we re-experience all the shades of hope and anger, pity and fear that living anywhere in late 20th-century America has inevitably provoked." —Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times

"Fool's Trap Niceness: How you can stay friendly without being exploited" We learn from an early age to be polite and nice to others. Many of us have been tricked by the environment into turning the other cheek rather than defending ourselves against impertinence. And that in a dispute the wiser one gives in until he is finally the stupid one. We should however in our own interest - be both friendly and fortified, - be helpful, but also be able to say no, - be open for others but also take our own needs seriously, register, and try to enforce them. "Fool's Trap Niceness" is a guidebook for all "nice" people, who don't say or say too seldom, when they are disturbed by something. - neither at home to the partner, the friends, acquaintances or the children, -and still at work with colleagues, the boss or their own customers or employees. Those who prefer to "clench their fist in their pockets" and get angry with a stomach ulcer instead of saying in a friendly and determined manner: "Not like this!" Here you will find a source of ideas and a helper if you don't want to be undercut and exploited in the future. The brevier "Fool's Trap Niceness" provides you with background information as to why "Nice is the little sister of Sh*t", why a healthy and far-sighted egoism is better and more beneficial for all involved in the long run. In addition, the concrete examples and discussion guides will help you to practically implement the demonstrably most successful strategies in the world. The content has been developed from personal experience and the work of 25 years in behavioral and communication training with thousands of participants.

A Transforming Journey from Common Ground to Holy Ground will never be an easy one-because Change is Always Required. Do you hunger for a Deeper and more Intimate Walk with Jesus Christ? Are you tired of being Lukewarm and Stagnant? Are you willing to allow the Potter to Reshape, Reform and Remodel you? If you answered "Yes" to these questions, then A Transforming Journey is the book for you. Designed to be used as a Daily Devotional in conjunction with a Bible, this volume takes the Reader from the Bondage in Egypt through the Wilderness Wanderings of the Hebrew people, and then into the Promised Land. Covering the five Old Testament books of Exodus through Joshua, and offering daily Insights and Applications, your Christian walk will never be the same once you make the decision to step from the Common Ground of this world onto the Holy Ground God is calling you to. Vicki Renee Bryant describes herself as a Reworked, Redirected and Reborn daughter of the King of Kings. With a past she is not proud of, Vicki could hide in shame. Instead, she uses it to show the Transforming power of Jesus Christ in the life of one who was lost. After receiving Christ as her Personal Lord and Savior on February 14, 1996, she allowed God to put her on the Journey of a lifetime. She is a Christian Bookstore Owner, a Public Speaker, a Bible Teacher and the Author of three books. Her first, For Such a Time as This..., is also a daily devotional. Her second, About Face , is a Wake-up Call to the Apathetic Church. Bryant and her husband Dan are lifelong residents of Owosso, Michigan, and have three lovely grandchildren... Tyler, Hailey and Caleb.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER To get ahead today, you have to be a jerk, right? Divisive politicians. Screaming heads on television. Angry campus activists. Twitter trolls. Today in America, there is an “outrage industrial complex” that prospers by setting American against American, creating a “culture of contempt”—the habit of seeing people who disagree with us not as merely incorrect, but as worthless and defective. Maybe, like more than nine out of ten Americans, you dislike it. But hey, either you play along, or you’ll be left behind, right? Wrong. In Love Your Enemies, social scientist and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller From Strength to Strength Arthur C. Brooks shows that abuse and outrage are not the right formula for lasting success. Brooks blends cutting-edge behavioral research, ancient wisdom, and a decade of experience leading one of America’s top policy think tanks in a work that offers a better way to lead based on bridging divides and mending relationships. Brooks’ prescriptions are unconventional. To bring America together, we shouldn’t try to agree more. There is no need for mushy moderation, because disagreement is the secret to excellence. Civility and tolerance shouldn’t be our goals, because they are hopelessly low standards. And our feelings toward our foes are irrelevant; what matters is how we choose to act. Love Your Enemies offers a clear strategy for victory for a new generation of leaders. It is a rallying cry for people hoping for a new era of American progress. Most of all, it is a roadmap to arrive at the happiness that comes when we choose to love one another, despite our differences.

This book serves as a reminder to individuals to push beyond their comfort zones, challenge societal norms, and strive for greatness. Whether it's in personal or professional pursuits, settling should never be an option. It is important to recognize that not settling does not mean disregarding one's limitations or ignoring the challenges that come along the way. Instead, it means embracing those challenges as opportunities for growth and using them as stepping stones towards success. This book serves as a call to action, urging individuals to break free from the chains of settling and embrace a mindset of continuous improvement and self-discovery.
