The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together | Heather McGhee

pick

The Sum of Us was enraging in the best ways and really eye opening about some things I never thought of... like why we had to pay $120 each summer for season pool passes when I was growing up.

GingerAntics This book was also beautifully written and surprisingly hopeful. This is a fight that feels SO big and so intertwined with every part of our society that is easy to lose hope and feel like our country has no chance to be anything else. McGhee does a brilliant job of keeping things upbeat and even wrapping up with signs of hope. 2w

GingerAntics Also, this is read by the author, which always makes books that much better! HIGHLY recommend this book; a real joy to read, full of great information and so many important things to learn. This would be a wonderful conversation starter. Should be required reading for everyone. 2w

Hostage to the Devil: The Possession and Exorcism of Five Contemporary Americans | Malachi Martin

pick

This book‘s highest achievement is to take the reader into the mental and emotional reality of a possessed individual. The sensationalist stuff is set aside in favor of vivid, intelligent descriptions of what the five victims felt and experienced over many years as their free will was slowly and patiently subverted. It is terribly frightening but also tremendously empowering to understand the role that will and choice play in these situations.
