They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky: The Story of Three Lost Boys from Sudan

"The inspiring story of three young Sudanese boys who were driven from their homes by civil war and began an epic odyssey of survival, facing life-threatening perils, ultimately finding their way to a new life in America. Between 1987 and 1989, Alepho, Benjamin, and Benson, like tens of thousands of young boys, took flight from the massacres of Sudan's civil war. They became known as the Lost Boys. With little more than the clothes on their backs, sometimes not even that, they streamed out over Sudan in search of refuge. Their journey led them first to Ethiopia and then, driven back into Sudan, toward Kenya. They walked nearly one thousand miles, sustained only by the sheer will to live. They Poured Fire on Us from the Sky is the three boys' account of that unimaginable journey. With the candor and the purity of their child's-eye-vision, Alephonsian, Benjamin, and Benson recall by turns: how they endured the hunger and strength-sapping illnesses-dysentery, malaria, and yellow fever; how they dodged the life-threatening predators-lions, snakes, crocodiles and soldiers alike-that dogged their footsteps; and how they grappled with a war that threatened continually to overwhelm them. Their story is a lyrical, captivating, timeless portrait of a childhood hurled into wartime and how they had the good fortune and belief in themselves to survive."

The Secrets of our DNA: How genetics informs our identity, health, history, policing, politics and m

"Go back even a quarter of a century and few people would have heard of DNA, except perhaps in a forensic case. Now genetics plays a part of our everyday culture and our interest in genetics is booming, particularly in the form of direct-to-consumer genetic testing for health, family history and ancestry testing. So how did we get to the point where our understanding, and misunderstanding of genetics became so commonplace? Professor Turi King, the UK's preeminent scientist in DNA and genetics takes us on a journey through the key cases, legal and otherwise, which explain modern genetics and how it now informs policing, personal histories, migration, politics and health. From eugenics, to mistaken dinosaur DNA, the OJ Simpson trial to Angelina Jolie's BRACA1 gene, we are led through the science to discover how genetics has impacted and shaped our society, and how our growing knowledge of the building blocks of life can inform our understanding of our past and how it will affect our future."

Essential: Being Latino and Indispensable in America

"A deeply reported and personal exploration of identity, resilience, and belonging from one of the most influential Spanish-language journalists in the world, Essential offers a nuanced, urgent portrait of what it means to be Latino in today’s America and the contradictions of being vital to a country that still struggles to recognize you fully. In a country still grappling with its sense of identity and the question of who belongs, Essential explores: What does it mean to be Latino in America today? Blending years of on-the-ground reporting with personal reflection, Enrique Acevedo offers a layered, urgent portrait of a community both shaping and being shaped by the nation’s future. Latinos comprise nearly one in five Americans, including more than eleven million in California alone. Yet their place in the national conversation is too often reduced, politicized, or misunderstood, especially when filtered through the narrow lens of immigration. With President Trump back in office and immigration again a defining fault line in American politics, this book arrives at a pivotal moment. From frontline workers during the pandemic to families navigating the opaque machinery of deportation, Essential explores labor, identity, resilience, and the quiet contradictions Latinos carry every day. It challenges the false choice between assimilation and exclusion. It calls on the country to expand its definition of belonging to reflect its people's full complexity and history. Part memoir, part chronicle, Essential is a powerful testament to the stories we tell about who we are and who we still have the chance to become."

Forging the American Mind: A Year-by-Year Guide for Classical Christian Education

"In this follow-up to Battle for the American Mind, David Goodwin lays out the principles for providing a classical Christian education for children, K-12. American parents have been desperate for an alternative to our broken, woke school system. Inspired by the insights of Battle for the American Mind, many gratefully embraced Classical Christian Education as an alternative—a deep tradition grounded in a biblical worldview. Instead of creating soulless careerists or woke activists, the lost tradition of CCE teaches children to care more about virtue and wisdom rather than conforming to a corrupt culture. New schools are popping up around the country. However, parents and educators need a roadmap for incorporating CCE into kids’ lives. This is that map. David Goodwin has taught classical Christian education for decades. In Forging the American Mind, he lays out practices, recommendations, and stories filled with simple, hard-won advice on how to parent and teach kids with wisdom, love, and ambition. How do you teach language? How do you teach Plato? What’s the best way to teach Christian history? How do you balance students’ individuality with respect for community? Goodwin offers answers to these questions and many more, and gives parents year-by-year plans, starting with the rambunctious elementary school years, through middle and high school, and concludes with an ambitious path to adulthood for teens. Forging the American Mind is a revolutionary road map for transforming education. This book gives devout parents and teachers the concrete information and inspiration they need to build a new and better way of learning for all American children."

Animate: How Animals Shape the Human Mind

"A mind-expanding deep dive into how animals have shaped us, from the palaeolithic to the present day. In Animate, science writer Michael Bond explores how animals have profoundly influenced our minds and cultures. Drawing on cutting-edge insights from psychology, anthropology, literature and neuroscience, Bond traces the varied ways their lives have affected ours, from our hunter-gatherer ancestors whose brains were rewired by the prey they hunted and the predators they feared, to the medieval and Enlightenment thinkers who used animals to promote notions of human supremacy. Scientists today are challenging the assumption that we are separate from and superior to animals, showing that they too possess intelligence, empathy, creativity and even the ability to use tools. If everything that supposedly makes us human is shared with other creatures, where does that leave us? And if we are not as exceptional as we thought, how should we be treating the animals we live alongside? A fascinating exploration of what it means to be both human and animal, Animate shows that to better understand ourselves, we must pay more attention to the other beings with whom we share our world."

The Desecration of Man: How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity

"From intellectual historian Carl Trueman, an argument that a rejection of Christian anthropology drives the social ills of our time. As church attendance falls, suicide rates climb, and birth rates plummet, Christian pundits have suggested disenchantment and the loss of tradition are to blame for our spiritual malaise. But what if the problem is both much simpler and much more serious? In The Desecration of Man, Carl Trueman argues that modern man's crisis of meaning stems from a rejection of a simple fact-that he was made in the image of God. Unmoored from the basic moral fact that secures human dignity, we violently disrespect our own minds and bodies through abortion, pornography, casual sex, gender transitions, and more-and in this disrespect we blaspheme against God himself, with devastating practical and spiritual consequences. With gentle pastoral wisdom, deep insight into church history, and an impressive command of philosophical genealogies, The Desecration of Man speaks to those troubled by the spiritual sickness of our time and points toward consecration to a God who is alive and loving as a solution. The Early Church triumphed over Rome because it offered life in place of death. It is time for modern Christians to offer the same kind of vision."
