Ordinary Goodness

by Edward Viljoen

 People often struggle to find a life filled with passion, happiness, and just plain goodness. 
This struggle drives many to depression and addictive tendencies. 

Author and New Thought minister Edward Viljoen argues that the struggle 
need not be an arduous or painful one—that through everyday acts of kindness, 
faith, and compassion we can create peaceful and contented lives. 

Using personal stories, practical tips, and exercises, this book shows us that regardless of 
our circumstances, we can create meaning and beauty in our lives and in the world.

Gracism 

by David A. Anderson

When people deal with color, class or culture in a negative way, that's racism. 

But we can't ignore these as if they don't matter. Instead, we can look at color, 

class and culture in a positive way. That's gracism.

Pastor David Anderson responds to prejudice and injustice with the principle of gracism: 

radical inclusion for the marginalized and excluded. A Christian alternative to 

secular models of affirmative action or colorblindness, gracism is an opportunity 

to extend God's grace to people of all backgrounds.
