THE SPIRITUAL DREAM One day in the 21st Century, God went unto Noah, who was living in the U. S. in Harlem, NY-and said, "Again, the earth has become wicked. Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing and a few good humans." He gave Noah instructions, "You have 6 months to build it before I start the storms." Six months later, God looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard-but no Ark. "Noah!" He roared, "Where is the Ark?" "Forgive me, God," begged Noah, " but I needed a building permit. I've been arguing with the code inspector. " I know you want decent humans-so I tried to test for those who are reasonably healthy. This will take a long time because most are filled with drugs of one kind or another. "And if all that is not enough-the Dept. of Homeland Security has me under investigation for plotting to kidnap citizens. "And you may have heard about the pathetic way FEMA handled the folks in the Super Dome after a hurricane. FEMA won't let me do any type of rescuing. "So, forgive me, Great One, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark." Suddenly a rainbow stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You're not going to destroy the world?" "No," said God. "This is a new situation red tape beat me to the punch. Renewal may require a more ancient solution."

A New York Times Bestseller This terrific new book…[explores] the ‘notion of whiteness,’ an idea as dangerous as it is seductive." —Boston Globe Telling perhaps the most important forgotten story in American history, eminent historian Nell Irvin Painter guides us through more than two thousand years of Western civilization, illuminating not only the invention of race but also the frequent praise of “whiteness” for economic, scientific, and political ends. A story filled with towering historical figures, The History of White People closes a huge gap in literature that has long focused on the non-white and forcefully reminds us that the concept of “race” is an all-too-human invention whose meaning, importance, and reality have changed as it has been driven by a long and rich history of events.
Bad Parents: Reflections On Genesis By: Spencer Bagwell An illuminating and nuanced deep dive into the first, and possibly most well-known, book of the Bible, Bad Parents: Reflections on Genesis invites us to question how both modern Christian Churches and popular culture present a version so at odds with the words as written. Full of flawed and often vindictive characters, including a wrathful and unforgiving God, how is Genesis supposed to be interpreted? How are present-day Christians to apply these stories to their own faith? Bad Parents will guide the reader on a thought-provoking journey through the pages of Genesis, and suggest how we might use it in our own lives.
