‘The Greatest Love: Lessons for Living with Extraordinary Courage—Even After the Worst Day of Your Life’ by Tim BrownBrown, a retired FDNY firefighter, debuts with a moving reminder of the value of sacrifice. After the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers, he was plagued with survivor’s guilt as he struggled to remake his life. He illustrates the lessons he learned with touching odes to the friends and colleagues he lost and meditates poignantly on what it means to honor grief without letting it subsume one’s life. Readers will be inspired and uplifted. more
Nienhuis, a professor of the New Testament, weaves memoir with biblical exegesis for an affecting if meandering look at how faith informs suffering. A traumatic childhood experience left Nienhuis with PTSD and panic attacks for years. He relied on therapy, friends, worship and remembering that Jesus, too, knew “the deep” of pervasive suffering. His command over Scripture is strong, and his honesty about his doubts and struggles with depression is refreshing. This will offer succor to believers enduring tough times. more
Social psychologist Cleveland offers an intimate exploration of centuries of representations of the Black Madonna, a “Black version of the Virgin Mary” who symbolizes “the unique experiences” of Black people against oppression and colonialism. Her vivid historical anecdotes inspire worthwhile discussion of Christianity’s entanglement with race, capitalism, and patriarchy. With her haphazard tangents on how Black Madonnas have shaped her life, the book offers an intriguing if imperfect look at a lesser-studied element of Christian iconography. more
