For readers of Kiese Laymon’s Heavy and Hanif Abdurraqib’s A Little Devil in America, a beautiful, painful, and soaring tribute to everything that Black men are and can beGrowing up in the Bronx, Joél Leon was taught that being soft, being vulnerable, could end your life. Shaped by a singular view of Black masculinity espoused by the media, family and friends, and society, he learned instead to care about the gold around his neck and the number of bills in his wallet. He absorbed the “facts” that white was always right and that Black men were either threatening or great for comic relief but never worthy of the opening credits. It wasn’t until years later that Joél understood he didn’t have to be defined by these and other stereotypes.Now, in a collection of wide-ranging essays, he takes readers from his upbringing in the Bronx to his life raising two little girls of his own, unraveling those narratives to arrive at a deeper understanding of who he is as a son, friend, partner, and father. Traversing both the serious and the lighthearted, from contemplating male beauty standards to his decision to seek therapy to the difficulties of making co-parenting work, Joél ...

New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson reveals a life-changing truth about achievement: God is building you up steadily so you're ready for overnight success. ‘How did you go bankrupt?’ Ernest Hemingway wrote in The Sun Also Rises. The answer? ‘Two ways: gradually then suddenly.’ In this illuminating book, Mark Batterson reveals that this principle applies to every area of life – especially success. Drawing from biblical wisdom, historical examples and his nearly 30 years of leadership experience, Batterson shows how success happens at the speed of a seed rather than the speed of light. He shows that what appears to be an ‘overnight’ success is actually the result of consistent choices and persistent faith. Using compelling stories, Gradually, Then Suddenly reveals:The Power of Persistence: Why staying in the game and trusting God often leads to breakthroughCathedral Thinking: How taking the long view changes your daily decisions and life trajectoryThe Compound Effect: How small, faithful actions accumulate into life-changing resultsConvictions vs. Opinions: Why deep conviction in God matters more than changing opinionsFor anyone feeling discouraged by slow progress, Gradually, Then Suddenly offers the encouraging truth that God is working behind the scenes through your daily obedience to prepare you for ...

If these galaxies had always been travelling, he reasoned, then they must, at some point, have been on top of one another.

One of six beloved Christmas classics in collectible hardcover editions Christmas at Thompson Hall brings together the best of the Christmas stories of Anthony Trollope, one of the most successful, prolific, and respected English novelists of the nineteenth century. Characterized by insightful, psychologically rich, and sometimes wryly humorous depictions of the middle class and gentry of Victorian England—and inspired occasionally by missives in the “lost letter” box of the provincial post office that Trollope ran—these tales helped to enshrine the traditions of the decorated Christmas tree, the holiday turkey, and the giving of store-bought gifts. Today, they open a window onto a time when carolers filled the streets and each house’s door displayed a wreath of evergreen boughs, a time at once distant and yet startlingly familiar. Penguin Christmas Classics Give the gift of literature this Christmas. Penguin Christmas Classics honor the power of literature to keep on giving through the ages.

Violence and the Sacred is René Girard''s landmark study of human evil. Here Girard explores violence as it is represented and occurs throughout history, literature and myth. Girard''s forceful and thought-provoking analyses of Biblical narrative, Greek tragedy and the lynchings and pogroms propagated by contemporary states illustrate his central argument that violence belongs to everyone and is at the heart of the sacred.

A new selection of foundational works from the influential philosopher who developed the theory of mimetic desireWhy do humans have such a remarkable capacity for conflict? From ancient foundational myths to the modern era, the visionary thinker Rene Girard identified the constant, competing desires at the heart of our existence - desires that we copy from others, igniting a contagious violence. This remarkable and accessible new selection of Girard''s work shows him as a writer for our times, as he ranges over human imitation and rivalry, herd behaviour, scapegoating and how our violent longings play out in stories, from Shakespeare to religion. ''The explosion of social media, the resurgence of populism, and the increasing virulence of reciprocal violence all suggest that the contemporary world is becoming more and more recognizably "Girardian" in its behaviour'' The New York Review of BooksEdited with an Introduction by Cynthia L. Haven
