Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2023 The author of the bestselling Just Medicine reveals how racial inequality undermines public health and how we can change it With the rise of the Movement for Black Lives and the feverish calls for Medicare for All, the public spotlight on racial inequality and access to healthcare has never been brighter. The rise of COVID-19 and its disproportionate effects on people of color has especially made clear how the color of one’s skin is directly related to the quality of care (or lack thereof) a person receives, and the disastrous health outcomes Americans suffer as a result of racism and an unjust healthcare system. Timely and accessible, Just Health examines how deep structural racism embedded in the fabric of American society leads to worse health outcomes and lower life expectancy for people of color. By presenting evidence of discrimination in housing, education, employment, and the criminal justice system, Dayna Bowen Matthew shows how racial inequality pervades American society and the multitude of ways that this undermines the health of minority populations. The author provides a clear path forward for overcoming these massive barriers to health and ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to be healthy. She encourages health providers to take a leading role in the fight to dismantle the structural inequities their patients face. A compelling and essential read, Just Health helps us to understand how racial inequality damages the health of our minority communities and explains what we can do to fight back.
Life has many paths presented to us at various times. Based on the information we have at that time, a path is chosen, and with that choice comes the outcome. Some outcomes are positive. Others are, well, let us call them "learning opportunities." And This Is Why We Laugh is the story of a journey down various paths that all converged at one point in time. The focus of the book is not the individuals who were part of the journey. Rather, the central theme is God's love, which He displays through the person of Yahshua-Jesus Christ. Every choice has a corresponding action. We must decide to make choices that align with God's word even when other paths look more appealing. This book has lessons on self-control (a word we really do not like to hear), perseverance, hope, and overcoming challenges. As you read biblical truths, my prayer is that you will learn to filter your choices through God's eyes. God desires for us to choose His path, which leads to life, prosperity, joy, and peace. There are times in life when we make choices, and then there are times when we experience the outcome of another person's choice. For example, a person driving a car does not stop at a traffic signal. The driver hits another car. The driver of the hit car will experience the outcome of the initial driver's choice. The driver of the hit car cannot control the original action, but he can control his response to the situation. No matter the circumstances in which we find ourselves, Jesus is our way of escape. He is our helper and life tour guide. As you read this book, the truth of who God really is will help to illuminate Jesus's love for you. He has a wonderful plan for your life. In the middle of adversity, you can always laugh because if you choose Yahshua-Jesus Christ, you will win.
Although it would appear in studies of late antique ecclesiastical authority and power that scholars have covered everything, an important aspect of the urban bishop has long been neglected: his role as demonologist and exorcist. When the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the realm, bishops and priests everywhere struggled to "Christianize" the urban spaces still dominated by Greco-Roman monuments and festivals. During this period of upheaval, when congregants seemingly attended everything but their own "orthodox" church, many ecclesiastical leaders began simultaneously to promote aggressive and insidious depictions of the demonic. In City of Demons, Dayna S. Kalleres investigates this developing discourse and the church-sponsored rituals that went along with it, showing how shifting ecclesiastical demonologies and evolving practices of exorcism profoundly shaped Christian life in the fourth century.

This book examines how those with disabilities, and in particular, the Deaf and hard-of-hearing, are impacted by the influence language and culture in policing, criminal law, and corrections. Frequently left out of policy making and research, almost no resources exist that can inform and aid law enforcement, legal, and correctional officials on culturally competent interactions with the Deaf and hard-of-hearing. As a result, this group is at a distinct disadvantage when dealing with law enforcement or the courts as well as being vastly underserved, which often lead to negative outcomes for the Deaf suspect/defendant/inmate as they attempt to interact with law enforcement and navigate the legal system. In a step-by-step presentation from arrest to incarceration each chapter will discuss a specific part of the legal system. As well as providing information on the topic, this book can serve as an important resource to the myriad of issues and difficulties that may be experiences by the Deaf suspect, defendant, or inmate, as well as by law enforcement officers, attorneys, and correctional officers. To illustrate these issues, previous cases of Deaf suspects, defendants, and inmates will be presented and discussed to clarify key issues and to provide a perspective of the problem. Each chapter dealing with these issues will also provide suggestions for more culturally competent interactions between the Deaf community and the legal system.
