American Martyr

The Jon Daniels Story

By: Jonathan Myrick Daniels,William J. Schneider

Jon Daniels, a 26-year-old seminary student and volunteer civil rights worker, was shot to death on August 20, 1965, by a deputy sheriff in broad daylight as he approached a "cash store" in Hayneville, Alabama. The bullet was intended for a 16-year-old black girl, whom Jon pushed to the ground, thus saving her life. The deputy sheriff was acquitted; the jury's verdict was deplored by the press and the church, while American society still struggled with fresh reminders of racism in the aftermath of the Watts Riots.

Learning to Speak God from Scratch

Why Sacred Words Are Vanishing--and How We Can Revive Them

By: Jonathan Merritt

In a rapidly changing culture, many of us struggle to talk about faith. We can no longer assume our friends understand words such as grace or gospel. Others, like lost and sin, have become so negative they are nearly conversation-enders. Jonathan Merritt knows this frustration well. After moving from the Bible Belt to New York City, he discovered that the sacred terms he used to describe his spiritual life didn’t connect as they had in the past. This launched him into an exploration of an increasing American reluctance to talk about faith—and the data he uncovered revealed a quiet crisis of affecting millions. In this groundbreaking book, Jonathan revives ancient expressions through incisive cultural commentary, vulnerable personal narratives, and surprising biblical insights. Both provocative and liberating, Learning to Speak God from Scratch will breathe new life into your spiritual conversations and invite you into the embrace of the God who inhabits them.

Blessed Are the Peacemakers

Martin Luther King Jr., Eight White Religious Leaders, and the "Letter from Birmingham Jail"

By: S. Jonathan Bass

Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” is arguably the most important written document of the civil rights protest era and a widely read modern literary classic. Personally addressed to eight white Birmingham clergy who sought to avoid violence by publicly discouraging King’s civil rights demonstrations in Birmingham, the nationally published “Letter” captured the essence of the struggle for racial equality and provided a blistering critique of the gradualist approach to racial justice. It soon became part of American folklore, and the image of King penning his epistle from a prison cell remains among the most moving of the era. Yet, as S. Jonathan Bass explains in the first comprehensive history of King’s “Letter,” this image and the piece’s literary appeal conceal a much more complex tale. This updated edition of Blessed Are the Peacemakers includes a new foreword by Paul Harvey, a new afterword by James C. Cobb, and a new epilogue by the author.
