These Walls Remember

"When two estranged sisters inherit a home possessed by the horrors of its dark past, they must work together to survive in this viscerally chilling Southern gothic novel from the critically acclaimed author of This Cursed House. Do not go into the attic, the note warned. But that's exactly what sisters Mickie and Delilah do when they inherit a distant relative's house in Savannah, Georgia. They intend to sell the property, divide the proceeds, and go their separate ways once and for all. But 724 Hartford Street has other plans. As the sisters learn about this house and its history, past wounds begin to fester and spill into the present: strange visions, memory lapses, unexplained accidents, and surreal echoes of the house's previous inhabitants-some of whom disappeared after living in the home. The sisters suspect the residents of the sleepy Savannah neighborhood know more than they're saying about what really happened there. And then Delilah, once adamant about selling and never looking back, develops an uncanny attachment to the house, her personality changing in alarming ways. Mickie knows that she'll have to pull her sister from the home's clutches or they will both succumb to that which hungers in its walls."

The Gospel and My Black Skin: Confronting the Past, Reclaiming the Future

"Is Christianity really a white man's religion? Is it any good for Black people? Can a faith once used to enslave also empower Black lives? In The Gospel and My Black Skin, Dr. JP Foster boldly tackles the complex, often unspoken questions many Black people are asking today. As Christian nationalism gains momentum, revisionist history distorts the past, and churches remain complicit--or silent--on matters of justice, a growing number of Black believers are questioning the faith they've inherited while others are walking away. Dr. Foster offers a timely and prophetic response. With both historical insight and pastoral compassion, he uncovers Christianity's suppressed African roots, exposes how Scripture was gutted to keep Black people in chains, and reclaims the original Christian message as a source of liberation, justice, dignity, and oneness. He directly addresses today's most pressing realities: systemic racism, cultural erasure, and the erosion of truth by those seeking to sanitize the past. This is not just a critique--it is a spiritual and historical reclamation. Dr. Foster calls on Black Christians to confront painful truths, peel back layers of distortion, recover the essence of Christianity, and reclaim a faith that has long been their own. This book is both a challenge and a call to confront painful truths, grieve and heal from generational trauma, and boldly walk into a renewed faith that honors God and Black identity. Whether you are questioning your place in the church, wrestling with religious disillusionment, or seeking a more thorough understanding of Christianity that empowers your faith, The Gospel and My Black Skin is a journey worth taking."

The Diversity Principle: The Story of a Transformative Idea

"As government offices, corporations, and campuses dismantle Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs amid intensifying political backlash, a new book from Yale University Press argues that public debate has lost sight of DEI’s origins. In The Diversity Principle: The Story of a Transformative Idea, Berkeley Law Professor David B. Oppenheimer reconstructs the two-century history of diversity as an intellectual and institutional principle, one rooted in the origins of the modern research university, the development of free speech doctrine, and the science of decision making. Drawing on legal history, philosophy, education theory, and social science, Oppenheimer shows that “The diversity principle is the idea, recognized for more than 200 years, that institutions function better when they include people with different backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints.” The book traces the Diversity Principle from early 19th-century Europe, when reformers like Wilhelm von Humboldt opened universities to religious and cultural outsiders, through its influence on John Stuart Mill’s defense of free expression, to its adoption by American universities, courts, scientists, military leaders, and business executives in the 20th century. Along the way, the principle helped shape academic freedom, the “marketplace of ideas,” and the legal framework that governed affirmative action for nearly half a century. In 2023, the Supreme Court rejected diversity as a justification for race-conscious admissions, overruling decades of precedent. Since then, conservative political leaders and advocacy groups have expanded the fight, targeting corporate diversity programs, university curricula, minority scholarships, and even the teaching of racism and exclusion. Oppenheimer contends that these attacks risk undermining the very conditions that make learning, innovation, and democratic deliberation possible. Grounded in extensive historical research and decades of empirical evidence, The Diversity Principle speaks directly to educators, business leaders, policymakers, lawyers, and journalists grappling with the consequences of the current rollback, and to anyone trying to understand what is truly at stake in today’s diversity debates."

The Spiritual Magic of Dolls

"Dolls have been beloved companions and instruments of magic for millennia. They are among the most ancient Egyptian and Roman artifacts. Not only playthings for children, they also provide lifelong comfort and companionship. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, dolls developed therapeutic uses, especially for traumatized children and people with dementia. But dolls also possess a long history as a tool of divination, witchcraft, and the occult. In The Spiritual Magic of Dolls, Najah Lightfoot bridges these two uses—companionship and magic—to enable listeners to develop profound magical and spiritual relationships with their own dolls. Many have beloved dolls displayed on shelves or sitting in boxes. What if you could do more with them? Najah Lightfoot shows you how. Perhaps you still have favorite childhood dolls or have been gifted with a doll or inherited one from a relative or friend. Many people are extremely attached to one or more dolls—this book teaches you how to take that attachment to the next level. Najah Lightfoot teaches how to develop a magical and spiritual relationship with your dolls. Najah writes, “This book is crafted, written for the magical practitioner or the person who has a love of dolls, who would like to learn how to bring them comfortably, lovingly into a working and familial relationship.”"
