Beyond the Shadows: The Light Within is a deeply moving and spiritually grounded work that invites readers into a sacred journey of healing, identity, and restoration. With honesty and compassion, Dr. Grace Liverpool-Norris shares a story that is both intensely personal and universally resonant, reminding readers that true wholeness is not found in striving to become someone new, but in remembering who we have always been in God's eyes. Through rich imagery and biblical reflection, the author guides readers through the unraveling process that often accompanies healing-peeling back layers of pain, silence, shame, and self-doubt to reveal the beauty and purpose beneath. Dr. Liverpool-Norris does not shy away from difficult truths. Instead, she courageously leads readers into the very places they may be tempted to avoid, demonstrating that God does not bypass our brokenness but meets us there. Scriptures such as Ezekiel 37 and 2 Corinthians 2 are woven seamlessly throughout the narrative, offering powerful reminders that even in valleys of dry bones and desolation, God is able to breathe new life. The book emphasizes that healing is intentional work-rooted in honesty, prayer, surrender, and a willingness to speak truth over buried pain. What makes Beyond the Shadows especially impactful is its message of resurrection rather than mere recovery. This is not a story about surviving trauma, but about rising with renewed purpose, reclaiming one's voice, and stepping fully into the light God has always placed within us. Dr. Liverpool-Norris encourages readers to stop shrinking, stop hiding, and begin shining-not for attention, but to illuminate hope for others. This book is a powerful invitation for anyone seeking healing, clarity, and freedom. It affirms that no matter how fractured one feels, restoration is possible-and your light was never meant to remain hidden.
A profoundly moving and deeply personal memoir by the co-host of National Public Radio's flagship program "All Things Considered." While exploring the hidden conversation on race unfolding throughout America in the wake of President Obama's election, Michele Norris discovered that there were painful secrets within her own family that had been willfully withheld. These revelations--from her father's shooting by a Birmingham police officer to her maternal grandmother's job as an itinerant Aunt Jemima in the Midwest--inspired a bracing journey into her family's past, from her childhood home in Minneapolis to her ancestral roots in the Deep South. The result is a rich and extraordinary family memoir--filled with stories that elegantly explore the power of silence and secrets--that boldly examines racial legacy and what it means to be an American.
Defines the meanings of words commonly found in religious writing and sermons, such as dogma and salvation, through a historical and theological examination of faith and its meaning in the contemporary world. Reprint. 100,000 first printing. NYT.

This book contains extensive resources for changing the culture of a church, a family, or a marriage. It defines 'culture' as how a group of people think, what they look at, and what they want. The Gracious Church is an intentional culture of grace because it intentionally shapes its culture by looking closely at how people make a continual choice between grace and self-justification. It teaches about the meaning of self-justification, encourages the choice of grace over strategies of self-justification, and emphasizes how grace is always a choice.
Not all souls go quietly. After the brutal murder of his girlfriend thrusts Daniel Cartwright into the world of the supernatural, he's finally adjusted to the reality that monsters are real. And not all souls cross over on their own. He'd thought banishing her spirit would bring him peace-allow him to move on. That is until her ghost returns-angrier than ever and hell bent on finally completing her mission. She wants Daniel to join her...and she's not taking no for an answer. Arrynn Baker has spent the past two years watching Daniel flourish into one of Threshold's best hunters. Decisive, highly skilled-she's proud to be his partner. There's just one small issue... She's fallen for the man. Hard. While she's not opposed to taking him as a lover, she's not convinced he feels the same-not with the distance he seems to maintain. The emotional walls he never steps beyond. Besides, mixing business with pleasure rarely ends well. When a grisly new killing rocks both their worlds, lines get crossed, and Daniel knows he's got a choice to make. Either be content with one night with Arrynn, or man up and jump in. But, if he wants a future with the woman of his dreams, he needs to deal with his past, once and for all. Even if the solution takes grave measures.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER“At a time when the meaning of America is up for grabs, Cody Keenan’s new book chronicles ten days that tested us and ultimately showed us at our best. It’s a captivating story about what’s worth fighting for, an antidote to cynicism that will make you believe again.”—President Barack Obama, via TwitterFrom Barack Obama’s chief speechwriter Cody Keenan, a spellbinding account of the ten most dramatic days of the presidency, when a hate-fueled massacre and looming Supreme Court decisions put the character of our country on the line, and a president’s words could bring the nation together or tear it apart.A white supremacist shooting and an astonishing act of forgiveness. A national reckoning with race and the Confederate flag. The fate of marriage equality and the Affordable Care Act. Grace is the propulsive story of ten days in June 2015, when Obama and his chief speechwriter Cody Keenan composed a series of high-stakes speeches to meet a succession of stunning developments.Through behind-the-scenes moments—from Obama’s suggestion that Keenan pour a drink, listen to some Miles Davis, and “find the silences,” to the president’s late-night writing sessions in the First Family’s residence—Keenan takes us inside the craft of speechwriting at the highest level for the most demanding of bosses, the relentlessly poetic and perfectionist Barack Obama. Grace also delivers a fascinating portrait of White House insiders like Ben Rhodes, Valerie Jarrett, Jen Psaki, and the speechwriting team responsible for pulling it all off during a furious, historic stretch of the Obama presidency—including a gifted fact-checker who took Keenan’s rhetoric to task before taking his hand in marriage. Grace is the most intimate writing that exists on the rhetorical tightrope our first Black president had to walk, culminating with an unforgettable high point: Obama stunning everybody by taking a deep breath and leading the country in a chorus of “Amazing Grace.”

Through an unfolding study of Psalm 23, you’ll learn how God--our Good Shepherd--is for you, how he longs to walk with you through temptation, sorrow, and even deep regret. You’ll discover God’s desire to make his joy your joy. Throughout, you’ll learn how enduring, powerful, and life-affirming God’s work in your life can be—and rediscover why it’s called amazing grace.Leader’s guide included!Grace group sessions are:Living in GraceGrace for RegretsSustaining GraceDelighting in GraceA Legacy of GraceGrace ForeverGrace to Share
From the Booker Prize-winning author of Prophet Song, a sweeping, Dickensian story of a young girl on a life-changing journey across nineteenth-century Ireland on the eve of the Great Famine. Early one October morning, Grace's mother snatches her from sleep and brutally cuts off her hair, declaring, "You are the strong one now." With winter close at hand and Ireland already suffering, Grace is no longer safe at home. And so her mother outfits her in men's clothing and casts her out. When her younger brother Colly follows after her, the two set off on a remarkable odyssey in the looming shadow of their country's darkest hour. The broken land they pass through reveals untold suffering as well as unexpected beauty. To survive, Grace must become a boy, a bandit, a penitent and, finally, a woman -- all the while afflicted by inner voices that arise out of what she has seen and what she has lost. Told in bold and lyrical language by an author who has already been called "one of his generation's very finest novelists" (Ron Rash, author of The Risen), Grace is an epic coming-of-age novel and a poetic evocation of the Irish famine as it has never been written.
