Not In Kansas Anymore: Christian Faith in a Post-Christian World

Not in Kansas Anymore explores the church''s place in the strange, new post-Christian world of the twenty-first-century West.

The twelve contributors approach the topic from a variety of angles, as historians, theologians, biblical scholars, missiologists, political activists, social theorists, pastors, and educators, and offer perspectives that at times complement and at times collide with one another. Whilst their analyses and proposals vary, they share a common conviction about the importance of the issues under discussion and a common desire for the conversations of the academy to connect with the mission of the church and the changing world in which that mission takes place.

The end result is a chance to listen in on a conversation that is provocative, timely, and engaging, full of insights and implications for students and practitioners alike.

Grounded in Critical Race Theory (CRT), Black Men in Law School refutes the claim that when African American law students are "mismatched" with more selective law schools, the result is lower levels of achievement and success. Presenting personal narratives and counter-stories, Jackson demonstrates the inadequacy of the mismatch theory and deconstructs the ways race is constructed within American public law schools. Calling for a replacement to mismatch theory, Jackson offers an alternative theory that considers marginalized student perspectives and crystallizes the nuances and impact that historically exclusionary institutions and systems have on African American law school students. To further the debate on affirmative action, this book shows that experiences and voices of African American law school students are a crucial ingredient in the debate on race and how it functions in law schools.

Sex Isn''t the Only Thing You Need... Relationships Take More Work Than You Think!

Many couples have spent thousands of dollars on their relationships or wedding ceremonies, only to realize over time that their worst fears were true; they were incompatible to begin with. However, their desire to "save face" and "make things work" ultimately resulted in them being brokenhearted and cynical about any future relationships. This workbook is a practical tool that encourages Christian couples to pause and consider the real work needed before jumping into bed, a deep relationship, marriage, or re-marriage. Your commitment to learn all that you can ahead of time about yourself and the person you are desiring to date or marry, could be the difference between experiencing a healthy and thriving relationship, or an unhealthy and short-lived one.

In "Before We Go Too Far," you will:

• Gain a better understanding of your Christian identity,

• Learn the truth of how God and others perceive you,

• Develop an appreciation for others'' unique desires and design,

• Cultivate honesty and openness with trusted mentors and friends,

• Experience freedom from the shackles of past hurts.
