![]() ![]() Historical events are intertwined with historical theology, as Christians attempted to justify or repudiate slaveholding and segregation. The first 9 chapters present an overview of race through the first four centuries of American history, beginning with the arrival of Africans in Jamestown, and continuing though the institution of chattel slavery, the Civil War, Black Codes, Jim Crow laws, the victories of the Civil Rights Movement, and the rise of the Religious Right during the 70s and 80s. ![]() The Color of Compromise can roughly be divided into two sections. While this work is an important read for anyone concerned with racial justice and should provoke introspection and lament, it also merits careful evaluation in light of how it frames the discussion of racism and complicity. As the recipient of an MDiv from Reformed Theological Seminary and a PhD candidate in history at the University of Mississippi, Tisby is uniquely positioned to bring a Christian perspective to the discussion of America’s religious and racial history. ![]() Jemar Tisby’s recent book The Color of Compromise is a call to the American church to wrestle with its involvement in slavery, segregation, and racism. ![]()

And can David respect that line?įor the first half or so of this book I just thought, good God this is mind-numbingly dull. ![]() David Dylan, alleged playboy and eternal bachelor, challenges Olivia to confront the life she’s built and to make decisions that could either lead to happiness…or regret. But when Olivia locks eyes with a handsome stranger across a crowded room, he peers a little too closely and sees emotions she thought she’d buried long ago. Devoted wife, loyal friend, determined career woman–she’s created the life she always envisioned. The fact this lead eventually chooses to indulge in that temptation? Uggggggh. For those of you who, like me, aren’t a huge fan of romance novels where our lead character is contemplating adultery, this might not be the book for you. ![]() ![]() He figures he’s due some rest, although that’s interrupted by a substandard, largely action based interlude as someone intends marketing the formula that transformed Rogers into Captain America. This is well drawn by Steve McNiven, then Alan Davis, but is unlikely to have the same appeal to those who’ve enjoyed Brubaker’s Captain America to this stage.Īs the collection opens, continued from the Captain America Lives Omnibus, we have Steve Rogers returned from seeming death discovering that someone else is now Captain America, and in a decent piece of plotting, he’s fine with that. It means that towards the end of the book we switch from the nuanced cloak and dagger material that’s been the tone throughout these collections into more straightforward superhero material. The other odd aspect of the selection is that Brubaker’s two runs on Captain America, although sequential, offer a very different stylistic tone. While still available as the paperback collections Captain America by Ed Brubaker vols three and four, they’re now shunted into the following Return of the Winter Soldier Omnibus. ![]() ![]() It includes a wealth of bonus material and the four issues of a standalone miniseries, yet omits the closing ten issues of Brubaker’s Captain America work. ![]() This penultimate omnibus collection of Ed Brubaker’s first run on Captain America is rather an odd package. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Hawkman stand-in Zauriel is introduced at this time and would spin off into the three-issue JLA: Paradise Lost (Volume 1) written by Morrison's collaborator Mark Millar.

This guide to the run of Grant Morrison writing for the Justice League is based around easily-purchased collected editions. Morrison was followed by frequent guest writer Mark Waid. Leading in from Justice League: A Midsummer's Nightmare (Volume 1), this line-up includes many of DC's most recognizable heroes facing intergalactic threats and rewriting the future of the DC Universe. The popular title lead to spin-offs like Hourman (Volume 1) and Martian Manhunter (Volume 3) and the revitalized JSA in JSA (Volume 1). Starting in 1997, Grant Morrison launched JLA (Volume 1) with artist Howard Porter, reinvigorating the team book and setting its course for the next decade.

Things finally start to get interesting at around the halfway mark, both with what’s going on as well as somewhat of an understanding of why Jade acts the way she does. The world and character building are pretty much just glossed over as everything focuses on Jade. A big deal is made out of the fact that no witch has ever been born outside of a coven, but not once does anyone question how or why she’s suddenly got all of this power or why it’s coming easy to her. ![]() She’s determined to always have her way, and for awhile I had very little respect for Paris who just gives in to her and doesn’t seem like much of a leader. Jade isn’t a very likeable person and sometimes acts like a five-year old. The problem is he isn’t sure he can as she’s more powerful than he is.The story starts off interesting, but then goes through a long stretch where I almost set the book aside a number of times. Paris is tasked with finding the person doing magic and get her to join his coven-all witches must be in a coven-or take her magic from her. The council of supernaturals realizes that someone is doing magic and they aren’t part of a coven. She knows she’s somehow responsible, but not how or why.

Where is the $20,000 that Helen supposedly had borrowed, but none of the money was found? These, and more are questions that the police either don't know the answers to or don't care, but Kelly and her newfound friends - the ladies that her aunt had been knitting with - are sure that there's something else afoot, and they're willing to do whatever it takes to help her find the truth.While this book had an interesting premise and I wanted to read it for that reason, it never really seemed to grab my attention and keep it for any length of time. The problem is that Kelly doesn't believe it was a burglary at all. Kelly Flynn returns to Colorado from her job in Washington, D.C., to handle the estate of her Aunt Helen, who was killed during a burglary gone wrong. ![]() ![]() ![]() (Febos blurbed my first book in 2018, but we have no other relationship).
