Описание: An incisive and necessary (Roxane Gay) debut for fans of Get Out and Paul Beattys The Sellout, about a fathers obsessive quest to protect his son--even if it means turning him white

Longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize - Stunning and audacious . . . at once a pitch-black comedy, a chilling horror story and an endlessly perceptive novel about the possible future of race in America.--NPR

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST

You can be beautiful, even more beautiful than before. This is the seductive promise of Dr. Nzingas clinic, where anyone can get their lips thinned, their skin bleached, and their nose narrowed. A complete demelanization will liberate you from the confines of being born in a black body--if you can afford it.

In this near-future Southern city plagued by fenced-in ghettos and police violence, more and more residents are turning to this experimental medical procedure. Like any father, our narrator just wants the best for his son, Nigel, a biracial boy whose black birthmark is getting bigger by the day. The darker Nigel becomes, the more frightened his father feels. But how far will he go to protect his son? And will he destroy his family in the process?

This electrifying, hallucinatory novel is at once a keen satire of surviving racism in America and a profoundly moving family story. At its center is a father who just wants his son to thrive in a broken world. Maurice Carlos Ruffins work evokes the clear vision of Ralph Ellison, the dizzying menace of Franz Kafka, and the crackling prose of Vladimir Nabokov. We Cast a Shadow fearlessly shines a light on the violence we inherit, and on the desperate things we do for the ones we love.

Praise for We Cast a Shadow

We Cast a Shadow asks some of the most important questions fiction can ask, and it does so with energetic and acrobatic prose, hilarious wordplay and great heart. . . . Love is at the core of this funny, beautiful novel . . . . At any moment, Ruffin can summon the kind of magic that makes you want to slow down, reread and experience the pleasure of him crystallizing an image again. . . . Read this book.--Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, The New York Times Book Review (Editors Choice)

A full-throated novelistic debut of ferocious power and grace . . . a story that refracts the insanity of the world into a shape so unique you wonder how this book wasnt there all along.--Lit Hub

Propulsive . . . We Cast a Shadow proves that the eeriest works of speculative fiction are those that hit closest to home.--Vulture

Often when we discuss bullying, we're only touching the surface-never getting enough to grasp these issues. The Bullying Resolution Model does just that, as an intervention medium, to affect the change of low-level violence in schools. It shows facilitators a comprehensive five-cycle approach that promotes bullying de-escalation and resolution. The model components (bullying roles, bullying type, collaborative involvement, instructive and corrective intervention as well new skill acquisition) operate on the concept of dynamic and synergistic method. Primarily, the Bullying Resolution model is dynamic. The full energy and characteristics of its driving forces produce or undergo change and development for the conflicted parties who engage.

The bullying model components can address multi-level conflicts ranging from minor inappropriateness to a server or even complex dilemmas. With concise, easy- to- follow guidelines, "The Bullying Phenomenon" homes in on a crucial hot-button issue that continues to plague all levels of education. The authors live in Chicago.

Описание: The Church has gone off into the sunset. Talk about the youth obtaining an everlasting life with Jesus Christ has disappeared from traditional institutions. The Church needs to reestablish its claim on a robust scriptural approach to going after the young generation to instigate a return to the Church. The arena of life continues to introduce a challenge of trials and tribulations for them. Victory is difficult. The younger generation needs some practical and spiritual knowledge so there is a balance towards living a faithful life. We are living in times when the world is attacking the absolute, that in the latter days to come, the evil spirits of the world are contending to destroy the traditional doctrines of faith that were de-livered to our ancestors. In recent years, the Church has been under extensive scrutiny. Many of its leaders have come under fire for being duplicitous in the care of the flock to gain personal status while its members struggle to make ends meet. Another problem of conflicts in the African-American Baptist Church is the interactions between the younger generation and the older generation, because they feel the Church is a place that op-poses their contemporary views.The Church no longer keep up with a fast-paced, fast-moving, ever-changing world. Many young people feel the Church offer no answers towards their problems, and they share the belief that it is not a safe place to express doubts. The modern generation is exposed to technology, casual sex, violence, drugs, and alcohol more than their predecessors. The Church has failed to respond. The Church proved its value during my teen years in meeting stiff opposition from outside forces, like freedom of choice, technology, and the media. The Church looks not to give logical, analytical, and investigative reasons for these challenges, but continues to face stiff opposition from outside forces. What is the Church going to do?

The Reasonability of Marriage in a Changing World

Описание: The unbelievers have compromised God's word on covenant marriage, and it has become unethical. The gates of hell will never prevail against covenant marriage. Peter's confession of Christ reveals, "And Jesus answered and said unto him, "Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matt. 16:17-19). The gates of hell will never prevail against the Church and covenant marriage. Satan is attacking the sanity of covenant marriage more than any other institution in society. Satan is trying to get us to toss out God's plan for marriage, from the beginning, and incorporates man's desirable appetite for engineering new truthful absolutes. Satan has kidnapped humanity in principle and is holding us hostage. God's final answer to this saga will be judgment and destruction like in the days of Noah. Jesus came down to a devilish world to die for the sins of humanity and to restore God's moral foundation to avoid such a catastrophe. Humanity must become yet again ethical, consecrated, sanctified, and holy. We must get God's plan of covenant marriage back in control and restored to its place of prominence. Fake president, fake lawyers, fake news, counterfeit churches, and phony marriages shall pass away. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away" (Matt. 24:35). God's plan for marriage will never pass away.Many are questioning, how do you know Bible principles on marriage are true? Did marriage come from God? If so, why did He create it? How do you know that God exists? Why can't I have my view of marriage? The Bible is an account of God's historical truths concerning the meaning of marriage. Nowhere does it support same-sex marriage to animals, and things like cars. God's plan for marriage is between a male and a female. God is the author of marriage established in Genesis. "The LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. Adam said, this is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. Therefore, shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed" (Gen. 2:21-25). The Bible contains God's clarification of covenant marriage when we have strayed away from the normal. Same-sex marriage is just the words of men but not the word of God.Marriage has changed in many ways and shifted toward a worldly interpretation and has lost its spiritual values, and it's like sugar that has lost its sweetness, and like music without good-sounding harmony. It is vital that the institution of marriage reestablish its claim on God's authoritative approach. The same bees no longer make the honey.

Описание:

Central Asia, known as the home of Tamerlane and the Silk Road, is a crossroads of great cultures and civilizations. In 1991 five nations at the heart of the region—Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan— suddenly became independent. Today they sit strategically between Russia, China, and Iran and hold some of the world’s largest deposits of oil and natural gas. Long-suppressed ethnic identities are finding new expression in language, religion, and occasional civil conflicts.

Civil Society in Central Asia is a pathbreaking collection of essays by scholars and activists that illuminates the social and institutional forces shaping this important region’s future. An appendix provides a guide to projects being carried out by local and international groups.

Описание: Readers of my earlier book--a memoir--may have been left with mixed feelings about it. Perhaps they felt that there was "something" wrong or missing. Maybe there was nothing redemptive about it or it had no "purpose". Maybe it seemed unfinished or was just "off". It was hard to put your finger on. After publication, I eventually came to realize these things, but never quite knew what the exact problem was. I just knew that it was out-of-balance. In 1999, a book that was written by David's oldest brother was published. I didn't read it until maybe seven years later, but when I did, I was instantly free. The book told in some detail what it was like to be a child in the Ruffin house. Time and place notwithstanding, the fact is that the father was extremely cruel to them. At that point, I was able to see David as a victim himself. Reading the details of those horrific experiences freed me of the anger, resentment and bitterness I had harbored for many years over how David had treated me and even our son. In the place of those feelings came a feeling of understanding; yes, even the gift of compassion. I understood that abuse was all he was ever taught; I was more than willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I forgave him. After all, how is a boy to learn what it is to be a man if he isn't taught by his father's Godly example? Thus, I was led to rewrite my memoir by giving my "testimony" of coming to Jesus in 2004 and by allowing people to know about David's childhood. I was also given other corrections, and title and cover. Now it all makes perfect sense!
