A soulful collection of illuminating essays and interviews that
explore Black people's spiritual and scientific connection to the
land, waters, and climate, curated by the acclaimed author of
Farming While Black Author of Farming While Black and co-founder of
Soul Fire Farm, Leah Penniman reminds us that ecological humility
is an intrinsic part of Black cultural heritage. While racial
capitalism has attempted to sever our connection to the sacred
earth for 400 years, Black people have long seen the land and water
as family and understood the intrinsic value of nature. This
thought-provoking anthology brings together today's most respected
and influential Black environmentalist voices -leaders who have
cultivated the skill of listening to the Earth -to share the
lessons they have learned. These varied and distinguished experts
include Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author Alice
Walker; the first Queen Mother and official spokesperson for the
Gullah/Geechee Nation, Queen Quet; marine biologist, policy expert,
and founder and president of Ocean Collectiv, Dr. Ayana Elizabeth
Johnson; and the Executive Director of the North Carolina
Association of Black Lawyers, Land Loss Prevention Project, Savi
Horne. In Black Earth Wisdom, they address the essential connection
between nature and our survival and how runaway consumption and
corporate insatiability are harming the earth and every facet of
American society, engendering racial violence, food apartheid, and
climate injustice. Those whose skin is the color of soil are
reviving their ancestral and ancient practice of listening to the
earth for guidance. Penniman makes clear that the fight for racial
and environmental justice demands that people put our planet first
and defer to nature as our ultimate teacher. Contributors include:

This book helps to explain why God sometimes bears long with His
elect, it articulates God's purpose in the wait, expounds on how
justice involves both restoration and restitution, and ignites
faith to believe God to avenge us of our adversary. Not only is
this message fresh from Bob's heart, we believe it is a message
that is especially relevant to the body of Christ in this final
hour.

Prayer is an ancient and simple way to prepare yourself for grace,
or love, and to learn to recognize it when it comes. Even the
briefest "grace" spoken before dinner offers its time-honored
wisdom. Yet in spite of hundreds of traditions and teachings and
books about prayer, millions of Americans have become ambivalent
about it. They are unsure how, when, where, and even why they might
pray, afraid they'll do it wrong, or worried that they won't be
heard.
Writing in the beautiful, funny, honest narrative style that moved
and inspired readers of her first book, "Here If You Need Me, "Kate
Braestrup explains what prayer is and the many ways we can pray.
With an approach that is both personal and inclusive, "Beginner's
Grace "is a new kind of prayer book. Even if you don't pray and
don't consider yourself religious, there's room in this book for
you. In these pages, Braestrup explains how and why the practice of
prayer can open a space in our busy lives for mindfulness,
gratitude, contentment, and a wider compassion toward others.
Inspired by her work as a chaplain, Braestrup includes many
examples of prayers to draw from--beginning with grace, a brief
prayer of thanks. She provides clear models and practical
suggestions for making your own and your family's prayers
meaningful and satisfying, and offers prayers for situations in
which words might fail: times of anxiety, helplessness, or grief.
And she invites you to explore forms of prayer that extend into the
wider community, including prayer with and for people we don't like
or with whom we disagree.
A welcoming modern guide to the simplest, most effective way to
satisfy a universal spiritual hunger, "Beginner's Grace "is for the
religious and nonreligious and even irreligious in its generous,
good-humored approach to spirituality. With its insight and warmth,
"Beginner's Grace "is sure to become a spiritual touchstone for
people of all faiths
God doesn't demand hectic church programs and frenetic schedules;

believers to reject superficiality and revolutionize their lives by
embracing a God-guided approach to prayer. Previously published as
A Call to Spiritual Reformation, this book has now been updated to
connect more effectively with contemporary readers. A study guide,
DVD, and leader's kit for the book are available through Lifeway
and The Gospel Coalition.

“I want to believe, I want to have hope, but…” Pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel hears these words often and has asked them himself. We want to know God, feel his presence, and trust that he hears our prayers, but in the midst of great pain, we may wonder if he really cares about us. Even when we have both hope and hurt, sometimes it's the hurt that shouts the loudest. Can God be good when life is not
In Hope in the Dark, Groeschel explores the story of the father who brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus, saying, “I believe! Help my unbelief!” In the man's sincere plea, Jesus heard the tension in the man's battle-scarred heart. He healed not only the boy but the father too, driving out the hopelessness that had overtaken him. He can do the same for us today.
As Groeschel shares his pain surrounding the current health challenges of his daughter, he acknowledges the questions we may ask in our own deepest pain: “Where was God when I was being abused” “Why was my child born with a disability” “Why did the cancer come back” “Why are all my friends married and I'm alone” He invites us to wrestle with such questions as we ask God to honor our faith and heal our unbelief.
In the middle of your profound pain, you long for authentic words of understanding and hope. You long to know that even in overwhelming reality, you can still believe that God is good. Rediscover a faith in the character, power, and presence of God. Even in the questions. Even now.
