Paperback. Condition: Good. For readers of The Vanishing Half, a hidden gem from the Harlem Renaissance about a young Black woman's journey toward self-acceptance while passing as white in 1920s New York City. Originally published in 1929 at the height of the Harlem Renaissance, Plum Bun is the story of Angela Murray, a young Black woman of mixed heritage who uses the advantages of her lighter skin to escaper her own life. Beginning with a childhood in her Black middle class Philadelphia neighborhood, Angela dreams of being a renowned painter. She believes she will only achieve this through whiteness and being a part of white society. Bestowed with the light skin of her mother, while her sister Virginia's darker complexion resembles that of their father's, Angela refuses to accept a life dictated by the limitations that come with her race and gender. Leaving behind her family and identity, Angela escapes to a roaring New York City where she befriends the art elites and presents herself as a white woman. Thrust into a world of seduction, betrayal, love, lust, and heartbreak, Angela soon discovers that to find true fulfillment within herself, she must accept and embrace her own identity - both her race and gender. Written with meticulous care and appreciation for the complicated nature of her characters, while also highlighting the beauty of every day Black life, Jessie Redmon Fauset's Plum Bun raises important questions to inspire new readers.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. From the author of To Hell and Back, a fascinating and original exploration of how the Third Reich was willing and able to fight to the bitter end of World War II Countless books have been written about why Nazi Germany lost the Second World War, yet remarkably little attention has been paid to the equally vital questions of how and why the Third Reich did not surrender until Germany had been left in ruins and almost completely occupied. Drawing on prodigious new research, Ian Kershaw, an award-winning historian and the author of Fateful Choices, explores these fascinating questions in a gripping and focused narrative that begins with the failed bomb plot in July 1944 and ends with the death of Adolf Hitler and the German capitulation in 1945. The End paints a harrowing yet enthralling portrait of the Third Reich in its last desperate gasps.…

From a troubled youth navigating the mean streets of the South Bronx to an inspiring educational activist who evokes praise from the likes of President Barack Obama, Geoffrey Canada has made a remarkable personal journey that cemented his dedication to underserved youth. His award-winning work was featured in Davis Guggenheim's documentary Waiting for Superman, and he has been hailed by media, activists, teachers, and national leaders.

Here, Canada draws on his years of work with inner-city youth and on his own turbulent boyhood to offer a moving and revelatory look at the little-understood emotional lives of boys.

Condition: Good. Therefore go and make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20.) As Christians we are called to spread Christ's message of love to the world, but it's estimated that as many as 96% of churches do not have an identifiable witnessing plan in place to help people effectively and lovingly share God's message of hope with their friends and neighbors. Created from a strategy used by missionaries and native Christians in South America, Each One Win One offers everyone-laypeople as well as church leaders-a comprehensive strategy to not only win others but nurture and mentor them as they grow in their faith. This complete resource is designed to extend outside the walls of the local church and into the surrounding community and beyond through the power of relationship. Divided into three programs-Each One Win One, Big Brothers and Little Sisters, and Prayer Cells-it includes complete strategies, reproducible templates, sample brochures, certificates, checklists, student and leader's guides, and posters for each program, plus an inspiring and informational DVD (in English and Spanish) from coauthor Louie Bustle. Each One Win One is an excellent tool for planting churches and growing pastors and leaders and offers Christians the knowledge and direction needed to effectively win and disciple others for Christ.…
