Riding elephants: creating common ground where contention rules

How can we create common ground at home, on the job, and in faith communities? How can we work together…
better to address those contentious culture war conflicts that divide us? By becoming better at riding our quirky feelings elephants through marshalling our less quirky thoughts. This concept is explored through brief essays on topics ranging from family life, organization behavior, and music, to Christianity, public policy, and politics. These essays focus on lessons drawn from the author's experiences interviewing for jobs, raising stepchildren, playing music, training New York City taxi drivers, watching sports, shepherding dogs, finding common ground on abortion, leading diversity programs, and loving his wife. They suggest that common ground does exist if we can find the patience, skill, and grace to create it. Adult. Strong languageThe Nixon effect: how his presidency has changed American politics

does not. Whatever Toast the butterfly wants, Duffles and Nudge the otters are absolutely against. And if somehow Toast and Duffles and Jitterbug and Nudge all agree on something, then Geezer is not having it. So when Toast suggests they need a leader, the friends try to figure out the best way to pick someone to be in charge. Should that someone be the fastest? The fluffiest? The squishiest? Or can Pudding show his friends that there just might be a way where everyone gets a say? 2020. For grades K-3Loaded: a disarming history of the Second Amendment (City Lights Open Media Ser.)

Par Julissa. 2007
"Life is a trajectory with many paths that promise to take you to your final destination. Many times on this…
path called life, you come to a crossroads, and you don't know where to go. You may wonder, "Which route can get me where I want to go the fastest? Will I encounter difficulties along the way? What lies ahead?" These are common questions that everyone has asked themselves at some point in life. Having gone through a process similar to this, I can identify with what young people in today's society are facing. Through this book it is my desire to make this journey of The Rhythm of Life much easier, more desirable and even fun. By sharing (my) life experiences, advice and what God says in His Word, I pray that I can plant hope in the hearts of these boys and girls and influence them to live life to the fullest, in 'God's way'." -- Translation provided by NLSHigh minds: the Victorians and the birth of modern Britain
Par Simon Heffer. 2022
"Britain in the 1840s was a country wracked by poverty, unrest, and uncertainty; there were attempts to assassinate the queen…
and her prime minister; and the ruling class lived in fear of riot and revolution. By the 1880s it was a confident nation of progress and prosperity, transformed not just by industrialization but by new attitudes to politics, education, women, and the working class. That it should have changed so radically was very largely the work of an astonishingly dynamic and high-minded group of people-politicians and philanthropists, writers and thinkers-who in a matter of decades fundamentally remade the country, its institutions and its mindset, and laid the foundations for modern society. High Minds explores this process of transformation as it traces the evolution of British democracy and shows how early laissez-faire attitudes to the fate of the less fortunate turned into campaigns to improve their lives and prospects. The narrative analyzes the birth of new attitudes in education, religion, and science. And High Minds shows how even such aesthetic issues as taste in architecture collided with broader debates about the direction that the country should take. In the process, Simon Heffer looks at the lives and deeds of major politicians; at the intellectual arguments that raged among writers and thinkers such as Matthew Arnold, Thomas Carlyle, and Samuel Butler; and at the "great projects" of the age, from the Great Exhibition to the Albert Memorial. Drawing heavily on previously unpublished documents, he offers a superbly nuanced portrait into life in an extraordinary era, populated by extraordinary people-and show how the Victorians' pursuit of perfection gave birth to the modern Britain we know today." -- Provided by publisherMissouri (My United States)

the summer of 1964. An up-and-coming leader named Stokely Carmichael told a group of prospective volunteers in New York that the "Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee" wanted to be sure that if blacks were killed for the civil rights cause, whites would die with them.

Par Chad Montrie. 2022
Whiteness in Plain View examines the ways White residents across Minnesota acted to intimidate, control, remove, and keep out African…
Americans over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Their methods ranged from anonymous threats, vandalism, and mob violence to restrictive housing covenants, realtor deceit, and mortgage discrimination, and they were aided by local, state, and federal government agencies as well as openly complicit public officials. What they did was not an anomaly or aberration, in some particular place or passing moment, but rather common and continuous. Chapter by chapter, the book shows that Minnesota's overwhelming Whiteness is neither accidental nor incidental, and that racial exclusion's legacy is very much woven into the state's contemporary politics, economy, and culture.

His people with care, skill, and intention. When Jesus began His ministry on earth, He took this idea to a whole new level, revealing that He himself is the Vine. He invites us to the sacred ground of abiding, calling us to flourish in the abundant life He offers. In these beautiful reflections based on Beth Moore's bestselling book Chasing Vines, Beth invites you to explore the fruitful life through the language of the garden--and through the words of the Master Gardener Himself." -- GoodreadsAmor audaz
Par Beth Moore. 2015
"Thirty years in the making, Audacious is a deep dive into the message that has compelled Beth Moore to serve…
women around the globe. Glancing over the years of ministry behind her and strengthening her resolve to the call before her, she came to the realization that her vision for women was incomplete. It lacked something they were aching for. Something Jesus was longing for. Beth identifies that missing link by digging through Scripture, unearthing life experiences, and spotlighting a turning point with the capacity to infuse any life with holy passion and purpose. What was missing? Well, let's just say, it's audacious and it's for all of us. And it's the path to the life you were born to live." -- GoodreadsMuhammad, prophète d'Orient et d'Occident (Médium)
