Why do so many of our churches feel like a safe place for sexual offenders, but an unsafe place for survivors of abuse? The wall of silence regarding sexual abuse in our churches must be torn down. Christians must hear. Tear Down This Wall of Silence answers questions such as: Who are the Enablers who help keep a system of abuse in place? Wrong thinking has kept this sin covered in our churches for decades. What are the truths that need to be proclaimed instead? Churches, families, and friends must not turn away. How do we properly grieve such a tragedy? How can we offer hope? The offender must show fruits of repentance. How can he begin to make restitution? How can the abuse survivor find true safety in Jesus Christ? Through personal memoir, voices of authoritative professionals, and the words of abuse survivors themselves, Tear Down This Wall of Silence provides a foundational explanation of the problem of sexual abuse in our churches and its aftermath, and offers hope.

"Rock and roll's most iconic, not to mention wealthy, pioneers are overwhelmingly white, despite their great indebtedness to black musical innovators. Many of these pioneers were insensitive at best and exploitative at worst when it came to the black art that inspired them. Tear Down the Walls is about a different cadre of white rock musicians and activists, those who tried to tear down walls separating musical genres and racial identities during the late 1960s. Their attempts were often naïve, misguided, or arrogant, but they could also reflect genuine engagement with African American music and culture and sincere investment in anti-racist politics. Burke considers this question by recounting five dramatic incidents that took place between August 1968 and August 1969, including Jefferson Airplane's performance with Grace Slick in blackface on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, Jean-Luc Godard's 1968 film, Sympathy for the Devil, featuring the Rolling Stones and Black Power rhetoric, and the White Panther Party at Woodstock. Each story sheds light on a significant but overlooked facet of 1960s rock-white musicians and audiences casting themselves as political revolutionaries by enacting a romanticized vision of African American identity. These radical white rock musicians believed that performing and adapting black music could contribute to what in the Black Lives Matter era is sometimes called "white allyship." This book explores their efforts and asks what lessons can be learned from them. As white musicians and activists today still attempt to find ethical, respectful approaches to racial politics, the challenges and victories of the 1960s can provide both inspiration and a sense of perspective"--

Abusive power by the pastors and church leadership is real and comes to our church members in many ways. It can be about church leader's violating boundaries, betraying trust, breaching confidentiality, and lying about what a church leader said or did. This book challenges the appeal process (council, classis, synod) of the Christian Reformed Church. Although the appeal process was not designed for abuse allegations, it is what is used when victims come forward with abuse of power allegations. Read about weaknesses of the appeal process and how change in the appeal process could create a safer church for all.

Paul Moncton and his close friend Matt are out hunting in Kenya. Attacked by a marauding lion, Matt is killed and eaten. Too afraid to face the animal, Paul attempts to flee, breaking his leg. Temporarily confined, but unable to live with his cowardice, he begins to contemplate suicide. At this point Paul meets Roz, a beautiful young girl who has recently arrived from Malindi, an ancient settlement on the East African coast. She falls in love with Paul, but he rebuffs her after resolving to shoot himself. However, his efforts are thwarted by an angel who, having been ordered to intervene, is then appointed as Paul’s guardian. This sets off a dramatic confrontation between the forces of Heaven and Hell – an age-old conflict that has now become personal. A number of horrific human deaths result. In the meantime, Paul, frustrated by his unsuccessful suicide attempt, goes on the run but, inadvertently falls into the clutches of a slave gang who incriminate him in a double killing. The gang then sells him into the slave trade and Paul is shipped off to Arabia. Although the police are searching for him, Roz refuses to believe that Paul is a murderer, so attempts to find and forewarn him. She succeeds, but Paul is eventually forced by rapidly changing circumstances to begin a reckless mission of revenge, only to be confronted by his guardian... Guardian is a no-holds-barred story of human courage, passion and vengeance that will appeal to fans of fantasy and supernatural fiction alike. The book uses biblical models to paint the background, organisation and warfare prevailing between Heaven and Hell, angels and evil spirits, blending them together with human passion and the author’s personal knowledge of Kenya to create a captivating read.

The Congressional ethics process has been transformed into a lethal, partisan political tool, feared by lawmakers from both sides of the aisle. . Newt Gingrich, the Ghengis Khan of recent American politics, wrenched the humdrum Congressional ethics process out of its lethargy and turned it into an offensive tool for partisan gain. Now, instead of yawning, lawmakers quake at the thought of an ethics inquiry that can easily, often unfairly, tip elections and ruin careers. While members of the House and Senate confront the public's changing attitudes toward money, sex, and power, they are also forced to raise ever-escalating sums to finance their campaigns. Practices tolerated a decade ago now may cost lawmakers their seats or land them in jail. Lawmakers often don't know if they live in Salem or Gomorrah. Using new information culled from dozens of Capitol Hill interviews, Sue and Marty Tolchin show how ethics in Washington have changed over two centuries while offering new interpretations of past ethics cases. The first book to analyse the politicization of the ethics process, Glass Houses reveals in wicked and telling detail the forces that drive the modern lawmaker into a maelstrom of fierce corruption battles.
