Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation Kristin Kobes Du Mez May 2020 Jesus and John Wayne is an account of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, and makes the compelling argument that American evangelicals have worked for decades to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of Christian nationalism and a s a result, they function largely as a political movement rather than a theologically driven religious community. Du Mez covers individuals and aspects of the Evangelical movement, from shows like VeggieTales to political figures like Oliver North . Editor's Note: Summarizing the 300-page research-based non-fiction is pretty difficult. In short, the historic overview may help you come to grips with the multitude of conflicting narratives pushed by what is now recognized as the new conservative mainstream. BUY NOW Previous Next

KEEP IT REAL

The Lost City of Z David Grann February 2009 The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon is a 2009 nonfiction book by David Grann . It recounts the activities of the British explorer Percy Fawcett, who disappeared with his son in the Amazon rainforest in 1925 while looking for the ancient " Lost City of Z " or " El Dorado . " In the book, Grann recounts his own journey into the Amazon, where he discovers new evidence about how Fawcett may have died. For decades explorers and scientists have tried to find evidence of Fawcett's party and of the Lost City of Z. Grann, a New Yorker staff writer at the time, first wrote about Fawcett in 2005. The article documents how Grann, working from Fawcett's long-lost diaries, reconstructed the explorer's last journey, including visiting the Kalapalo tribe in the Xingu Indigenous Park region of the state of Mato Grosso , Brazil . The Kalapalo had preserved an oral history about Fawcett's small party of himself, his son Jack, and Jack's friend Raleigh Rimell, who were among the first Europeans the tribe had ever seen. As a result of Grann's own trek into the Amazon and consultations with archeologists, evidence of wooden structures and roads that cut through the jungle were uncovered. As well as Black Earth ( Terra preta) that showed evidence humans had added supplements to the soil to increase its fertility to support agriculture. Grann's work provides evidence that civilization across the Atlantic had been far more advanced than European conquerors and historians have led us to believe while taking you on a thrilling ride through exploration during the first quarter of the 20th century. Editors Note: Grann's book emphasizes just how little we know about the world we live in today. The era of Columbus and "New World" colonization has fed modern society with a multitude of misconceptions regarding what existed and thrived prior to European dominance in South America. Unpacking historical and cultural misconceptions such as these is critical to understanding how we move forward as human beings and nations in the future. BUY NOW Previous Next

It was so influential that the term "monkeywrenching" , often used as a verb, has come to mean, besides sabotage and damage to machines, any sabotage, activism, law-making, or law-breaking to preserve wilderness, wild spaces and ecosystems. The book's four main characters are ecologically minded misfits—"Seldom Seen" Smith, a Jack Mormon river guide; Doc Sarvis, an odd but wealthy and wise surgeon; Bonnie Abbzug, his young feminist assistant; and a rather eccentric Green Beret Vietnam veteran , George Hayduke . Together, although not always working as a tightly knit team, they form the titular group dedicated to the destruction of what they see as the system that pollutes and destroys their environment, the American West . As the gang's attacks on deserted bulldozers and trains continue, the law closes in. Previous Next View All
