Tee Tee the Tiger Learns How to Pray


Book Description

This book is about a young tiger wanting to learn how to pray. As children, we were always vulnerable to the negative outside world and sometimes even taught to hate, and yet we were pure innocence. But if you train up a child in a way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it (Prov. 22:6). I selected the tiger because it represents powerful energy and beauty to me, and children love animals.

The New York Times bestselling author of The Circle Maker teaches readers how to listen to God.

Not to make it difficult to hear Him, but to draw us close. Many people have a tough time believing God still speaks.

God’s whisper can answer your most burning questions, calm your deepest fears, and fulfill your loftiest dreams. Discover how simple it is to hear God’s voice in every aspect of your life!

Black Boy Out of Time


Book Description

An eloquent, restless, and enlightening memoir by one of the most thought-provoking journalists today about growing up Black and queer in America, reuniting with the past, and coming of age their own way. One of nineteen children in a blended family, Hari Ziyad was raised by a Hindu Hare Kṛṣṇa mother and a Muslim father. Through reframing their own coming-of-age story, Ziyad takes readers on a powerful journey of growing up queer and Black in Cleveland, Ohio, and of navigating the equally complex path toward finding their true self in New York City. Exploring childhood, gender, race, and the trust that is built, broken, and repaired through generations, Ziyad investigates what it means to live beyond the limited narratives Black children are given and challenges the irreconcilable binaries that restrict them. Heartwarming and heart-wrenching, radical and reflective, Hari Ziyad's vital memoir is for the outcast, the unheard, the unborn, and the dead. It offers us a new way to think about survival and the necessary disruption of social norms. It looks back in tenderness as well as justified rage, forces us to address where we are now, and, born out of hope, illuminates the possibilities for the future.
