Beyond Dispute
by Daniel Taub
Fiercely divisive times call for radically different arguments. In the age of seemingly irreconcilable differences, argument is increasingly seen as a plague to be avoided or a contest to be won. Daniel Taub, an experienced peace negotiator and diplomat, argues that ancient Jewish wisdom offers a third way. Drawing from this tradition, and from his own experience at the heart of some of the world's toughest negotiations, in Beyond Dispute he makes the case for a radically different approach to help humans come closer to truth and to each other. Now is the time to learn how to argue in a new way.

The Greatest Story Ever Told
by Bear Grylls
Jesus lived and died over 2,000 years ago, fulfilling expectations that existed long before his birth which had been mystically foretold by astrologers for hundreds of years, yet the rulers of his day dreaded his coming. This humble builder-teacher became a magnet for the poor and downtrodden, a symbol of love and mercy, who transformed the lives and restored the health and purpose in all who encountered him. Billions of people have dedicated their lives to this man and have testified to his divinity and truth. To others, he is little more than another rebel who was killed by one of the most brutal empires in human history.

Sacred Attachment
by Michael John Cusick
In this book, Cusick voices the questions and contradictions that are inherently part of living an authentic spiritual faith. With raw honesty and vulnerability, he shares his own zigzagging path to God and reveals how brokenness and pain can become the gateway to experiencing joyful divine attachment. Cusick argues that because God's love has you, you can put aside fear and loneliness, and you can rest seen, soothed, safe, and secure in God's presence. His gentle, trauma-informed guidance lets readers reimagine life with God in a way that repairs wounds and deeply satisfies their souls.

You Can, If You Want To
by James Alison
What if Christianity was far more liberating than the culture wars suggest? Can the conflict concerning Christianity and homosexuality be viewed from a more interpretative lens? James Alison, a Catholic priest who is also a gay man, has been wrestling with the matter for over forty years. This luminous and rigorous book dismantles the fear-based binaries which have dominated conversations in the Church. Striving to address potential concerns about accepting LGBTQ+ individuals within the church, James draws on scripture, tradition, and his lived experience to form a broader understanding of faith and humanity.
