I learned of this book from a podcast. The guest was reminding listeners how individuals and churches are called to help the poor and the marginalized and how having secure housing can help stabilize the issues that contribute to homelessness. I was compelled to track down his book. For me his work is a five ⭐️ pick. It is teaching me how a change in perspective and a willingness to do small and big things may make a difference.

“Above all else, homelessness, dehumanizes. It isolates, it discards, and it amplifies fear and anxiety. In your daily interactions with people experiencing homelessness, their homelessness is not truly at stake. Their humanity though is.”

Trans authors you should read! This is a very American based list. I think it is very cool and important to read Sarah McBride now that she is the first Trans senator! Read her life in her own words as you see her making headlines for wanting to use the toilet at work....
Others to read who I love:
Akwaeke Emezi - Vivek is my absolute fav
Imogen Binnie
Nicola Dinan
Janet Mock
Aiden Thomas

JamieArc Sarah McBride ❤️ My husband worked with her when he was working for the Human Rights Campaign. 3mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @JamieArc great...now I am jealous of your husband 😂. I have been a huge fan of hers since I first started following her career in maybe 2016-17. Just an extraordinary person, what we need so badly in politics. 3mo
BookmarkTavern Loved Cemetery Boys! 3mo

BookmarkTavern Oh my gosh, I‘m so jealous! 3mo
lil1inblue Vivek Oji was such an excellent book. 🩵 3mo
Kristy_K I just bought Tomorrow Will Be Different! And this reminds me I‘ve been wanting to read Redefining Realness. 3mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @Kristy_K I love Janet Mock, all of her books are very good. She is so impressive, and this first one of hers really tells you how she got to be where she is now (well 2014) I thought the book was very good. 3mo
Suet624 Great post! Thank you. 💕 3mo

This is a really accessible yet info-packed read that I'd certainly recommend to anyone hoping to learn more about the history of White Christian Nationalism (which I wish wasn't yet again/still/[endlessly?!] such an urgent social problem, but here we are 🙃). Jemar Tisby is excellent wherever he writes/presents his ideas, including his Substack (jemartisby.substack.com). He narrates the audio beautifully, too.

TheBookHippie I wondered about this one -adding it to my list. Thx for the Substack info! 4mo
Christine @TheBookHippie Would love to read your review if you check it out! He‘s such a good public scholar and is often in conversation with other good public scholars studying these issues (and he posts frequently about that on his Substack). He posted today about an upcoming podcast from a scholar in my field (sociology) that I‘m eager to check out in March: https://www.ruthbraunstein.com/podcast 4mo
TheBookHippie @Christine I put it on hold at the library. 4mo

I love the way that Storygraph makes looking at my reading stats easy.

TheNextBook Big same! Storygraph is by far my favorite book tracking app! 7mo
Lindy @TheNextBook I used to make my own pie charts when I looked at my end-of-year stats. Took so much time. And I only did it once a year. 7mo
