Is God a white racist? Posed by William R. Jones in his ground-breaking book of the same name, this question disrupted the theological assumptions that marked Black religious thought from early writings of the 1800s to the formation of Black theology in the 1960s. This book compiles his key and essential writings related to over three decades of critical reflection on race, religion, secularism, and oppression in the United States. Over the course of 30 years, Jones pushed questions and considerations that refined Black theology and that gave greater shape to and understanding of Black philosophers' intervention into issues of racial and structural inequality. His philosophical work, related to the grid of oppression, fosters an approach to the nature and meaning of oppression in the United States, encouraging rational interrogation of structures of injustice and thought patterns supporting those structures. Still relevant today, the straightforward style of communication used by Jones makes these essays easily accessible to a popular audience, while maintaining intellectual rigor, making the book also suitable for an academy-based audience.

Life not feeling complete? It's time to start experiencing all of your life, not just some of it. Life is too short to wait for some day or the right and perfect time to start living the life your soul desires. The perfect and right time is now! What if nothing needed to change outside of you in order to experience life differently, even better? The biggest mistake we can make is putting all our attention and power on external conditions to give us a sense of peace, love, connection, joy and freedom. We may experience passing moments of love in relationships, joy in success with work, connection with friends and family or a sense of freedom with the increase in our finances in some way. Unfortunately, these aren't sustainable sources for the good stuff of life, as these conditions are always changing. What is sustainable? Cultivating peace, love, connection, joy, freedom, among other qualities, within ourselves and then bringing them out into our living. In this book, you will: Learn how to meditate so you can experience greater calm and clarity Discover the secret of prayer and affirmation so you can feel confident moving through each day Learn other practices to integrate your life into a rich soulful experience
