  Black Joy Playbook

  $18.00

  Reclaim your joy with this beautifully designed and thoughtful playbook from the author of the NAACP Image Award winner Black Joy.

  We have an ancestral mandate to hold not just the pain and trauma of our experiences as Black people, but to hold the joy and love and peace that is also ours.

  Joy is a weapon, not only for resistance, but also a means for healing–a powerful tool that is all-encompassing and necessary. Black Joy Playbook helps you mine your memories to discover what joy looks and feels like to you and then guides you to re-create it in your present-day life.

  Divided into themes of joy in the body, breath, tears, laughter, and every day, each of the thirty entries includes the following:

  – a short inspiration
  – questions for reflection
  – a meditation
  – space for contemplation
  – suggestions for how to choose joy

  It’s time to chase joy and cultivate it from the inside out!

  Then They Came For Mine

  $19.00

  Black Americans’ resilience during centuries of racially-motivated violence is beyond remarkable. But continuing to endure this harm allows for generations of trauma to fester and grow. Healing has to be the priority going forward.

  For decades, Tracey Michae’l Lewis-Giggetts clung to her upbringing in the church, believing that racial reconciliation would come through faith and discipline, being respectable, and doing what’s right. But when her cousin became the victim of a white supremacist’s hateful rampage, her body and soul said, “no more.”

  The trauma of America’s racial history, wreaking havoc on not only Black and Brown folk but white people too, in its own way, will not be alleviated without the will to face it head-on. We must name the dehumanization that plagues us, practice truth-telling and self-care, and make space for our vulnerability–to do the hard work of healing ourselves and our communities.

  This book is written with that healing in mind. It unpacks how American systems and institutions enable the kind of violence we’ve seen connected to white supremacy and nationalism. It examines the way media has created a desensitization to violence against Black bodies. It outlines what it looks like for a person who claims to follow Jesus to be anti-racist. But more than anything, it offers a blueprint for healing and reconciliation that includes the necessity of white people untangling from an ancestral mandate of colonization and false notions of supremacy, and Black and Brown people reckoning with the impact of trauma and feeling free to grieve in whatever way grief shows up.

  Integrated Church

  $14.99

  The Body of Christ is most effective when all of its parts are working at their maximum potential.

  We’ve been stuck in a ministry world full of fear and confusion while trying to do our own version of integrating. The fact is that the “how” of ministry is determined by the “who, when, and where” of culture.The Church should be the greatest advocate for cultural and racial diversity in all of society. We certainly should not lag behind. Part of maximizing the potential of the Church is being sensitive to diverse audiences. The Church should be proactive in reaching and ministering to these audiences without sacrificing the integrity of God’s word.

  The Integrated Church will challenge the discussion of the church’s relevance in culture. This collection of stories and solutions will assist church communicators in understanding the variety of people they are called to serve. Begin to understand the struggles, challenges, benefits, and opportunities their culture provides.

  Get ready to discover a whole new way to maximize your potential.
