Reckoning with the Colonial Past to Bring Justice to the Present As White settlers spread across North America, they crafted and enacted an epic story of their God-given dominionover the land, over Indigenous nations, and over the future. Their narrative constructed a myth of innocence that justified a massive program of violence and dispossession by suppressing a darker history. That history still reverberates today, from settler Americas relations with the Indigenous nations of the United States to ways the land has been commodified as property. Its time for the whole truth to be told.In Undoing Manifest Destiny, L. Daniel Hawk exposes the belief systems and practices that settlers developed to justify the displacement, destruction, and cultural erasure of Indigenous peoples, beginning in the early American colonial period and extending to the present day. Writing as the descendant of White settlers and as a biblical scholar, he challenges settler Christians to uncover what the settler narrative denies and to work toward addressing historic injustices.In this book, Hawk combines settler colonial theory, historical analysis, and Christian theology to examine how settler America sought to erase Indigenous presence from lands taken by the United States and its colonial predecessors; offers a decolonizing perspective that challenges the church to acknowledge its complicity with the colonial project and to enter into dialogue directed toward setting things right; and highlights contemporary manifestations of colonialism in US interactions with its Indigenous citizens, demonstrating that past issues are still present and need to be addressed today. Hawk asserts that Christians were complicit with programs of erasure, and so Christians are called to confront and heal their residue today. Joining historical research with theology and biblical scholarship, Hawk helps us recognize the myths that shape the American imagination and to engage our faith for a better way forward.This book is an invaluable resource for scholars, educators, students, and readers invested in areas such as post- and de-colonial studies, race and ethnicity, United States history, and social justice. Deepen your understanding of history, confront unsettling truths, and work toward justice and healing with Undoing Manifest Destiny.

We have thousands of books on how to save money, but almost none on how to spend it. Financial therapist Laura Banks addresses a common but unspoken problem in "The Savings Trauma." Many diligent savers reach financial independence but find themselves physically unable to spend their money due to a deep-seated fear of poverty or scarcity mindset.Banks explains that extreme frugality is often a trauma response, not a virtue. She critiques the "Scrooge McDuck" retirement plan, where people die with millions in the bank but having lived a life of deprivation.The book challenges readers to shift from "accumulation mode" to "decumulation mode." Banks provides exercises to calculate the "utility of money" at different ages (a ski trip at 30 is worth more than at 80) and gives permission to use wealth to buy time and experiences now. A guide to making sure your money serves you, not the other way around.

On December 4, 1872, the brigantine Mary Celeste was found drifting in the Atlantic. The sails were set, the cargo was intact, and breakfast was allegedly still on the table. But the crew of ten was gone, never to be seen again. Maritime historian Simon Bell investigates the worlds most famous nautical mystery in "The Ghost Ship."Bell strips away the fiction (giant squids, mutiny, alien abduction) to look at the hard facts from the salvage hearing. He analyzes the ships cargo1,700 barrels of industrial alcoholand the theory that leaking fumes created a fear of explosion, causing the captain to order a temporary evacuation that went tragically wrong.The book is a forensic reconstruction of a panic at sea. Bell explains how a small error in judgment, combined with a frayed tow line, turned a routine voyage into a ghost story that has haunted the ocean for 150 years.

Why do we stay in dead-end jobs, unhappy marriages, or finish terrible books? Because weve already invested time, money, or effort. Psychologist Daniel Ross tackles the "Sunk Cost Fallacy" in "The Quitting Point." Ross explains that the human brain is wired to avoid the pain of "waste" more than it seeks the pleasure of gain, leading us to throw good money (or years) after bad.The book distinguishes between "grit" (perseverance with a purpose) and "stubbornness" (refusing to admit a mistake). Ross provides a framework for auditing your life commitments: If you wouldnt start this project/relationship today, why are you still in it?"The Quitting Point" teaches the art of the "strategic quit." It validates the courage it takes to walk away and reframe "giving up" as "leveling up." It is a permission slip to stop digging when you are in a hole, proving that your past investment does not dictate your future potential.

"Lets circle back to touch base and leverage our synergies." If this sentence makes you want to scream, this book is for you. Linguist and corporate trainer Jessica Blunt dissects the strange dialect of the workplace in "Office Speak."Blunt argues that corporate jargon is not just annoying; it is a tool of obfuscation. Bad leaders use complex words to hide simple lack of ideas, to soften the blow of layoffs ("right-sizing"), or to feign action without doing anything. She analyzes the origins of terms like "low-hanging fruit,""bandwidth," and "paradigm shift."The book is a plea for "Radical Clarity." Blunt teaches how to write emails that humans actually understand and how to spot when a company is using "values-speak" to mask a toxic culture. It is a hilarious yet serious guide to cutting through the fluff and communicating with impact in a world of empty suits.
