Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 Society of Professors of Education Outstanding Book Award Drawing on personal stories, research, and historical events, an esteemed educator offers a vision of educational justice inspired by the rebellious spirit and methods of abolitionists. Drawing on her life’s work of teaching and researching in urban schools, Bettina Love persuasively argues that educators must teach students about racial violence, oppression, and how to make sustainable change in their communities through radical civic initiatives and movements. She argues that the US educational system is maintained by and profits from the suffering of children of color. Instead of trying to repair a flawed system, educational reformers offer survival tactics in the forms of test-taking skills, acronyms, grit labs, and character education, which Love calls the educational survival complex. To dismantle the educational survival complex and to achieve educational freedom—not merely reform—teachers, parents, and community leaders must approach education with the imagination, determination, boldness, and urgency of an abolitionist. Following in the tradition of activists like Ella Baker, Bayard Rustin, and Fannie Lou Hamer, We Want to Do More Than Survive introduces an alternative to traditional modes of educational reform and expands our ideas of civic engagement and intersectional justice.

Book excerpt: More Than Just Surviving Denise Royal Synopsis This autobiographical Christian nonfiction work traces God’s masterful hand throughout Denise’s life from childhood in a military family through marriage to a professional in law enforcement and beyond. It details both her struggles and triumphs through challenging life events that include postpartum depression, devastating marriage problems, the rocky road of healing to recovery, a personal diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, her daughter’s debilitating health struggles, her husband’s brain cancer diagnosis and death, her daughter’s transplant, and onward to living as a widow with purpose. Target Audience Written in an honest and transparent style, this book is written for fellow-strugglers who need encouragement that God is active and involved in lives, feel forgotten or slighted by God, wonder if God speaks to average people, and those who question God’s existence. Motivation In a world where social media presents the illusion of lives perfectly lived, readers need the opportunity to hear from authors who dare to be honest and vulnerable, sharing the reality of life’s difficulties. Her prayer is that readers’ eyes would be opened to how God works in their lives even in the midst of pain and struggle and that their hearts would be warmed and inspired to seek God. It is also her hope and prayer that this true account would point readers to a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ.

Book excerpt: Triggered by a long-forgotten past, Scott and Sandy Tremp's world suddenly collapses. What begins as a relatively normal day ends in disaster when Scott, walking into the kitchen expecting to find dinner, discovers Sandy on the floor, completely incoherent. Sandy's breakdown is the catalyst that opens Pandora's Box, unleashing chaos and destruction on their unsuspecting family. Compelling and inspirational, Surviving Life tells the true story of one family's heart-wrenching journey through an emotional and mental breakdown, abuse, betrayal, disappointment with God, financial devastation, and their fight to hold their family together. With a unique blend of humor and vulnerability, Scott and Sandy openly share their heartache and confusion as their family struggled to overcome insurmountable odds. Throughout their journey, Scott and Sandy discovered five survival skills, which, along with the strength they drew from God, eventually freed them from the bondage of their traumatizing experiences. Woven throughout their terrifying yet engaging life story are practical, step-by-step directions for moving beyond any painful circumstance and Surviving Life.

Book excerpt: “When Gessen speaks about autocracy, you listen.” —The New York Times “A reckoning with what has been lost in the past few years and a map forward with our beliefs intact.” —Interview As seen on MSNBC’s Morning Joe and heard on NPR’s All Things Considered: the bestselling, National Book Award–winning journalist offers an essential guide to understanding, resisting, and recovering from the ravages of our tumultuous times. This incisive book provides an essential guide to understanding and recovering from the calamitous corrosion of American democracy over the past few years. Thanks to the special perspective that is the legacy of a Soviet childhood and two decades covering the resurgence of totalitarianism in Russia, Masha Gessen has a sixth sense for the manifestations of autocracy—and the unique cross-cultural fluency to delineate their emergence to Americans. Gessen not only anatomizes the corrosion of the institutions and cultural norms we hoped would save us but also tells us the story of how a short few years changed us from a people who saw ourselves as a nation of immigrants to a populace haggling over a border wall, heirs to a degraded sense of truth, meaning, and possibility. Surviving Autocracy is an inventory of ravages and a call to account but also a beacon to recovery—and to the hope of what comes next.
