A descendant of Confederate General Robert E. Lee chronicles his story of growing up with the South's most honored name, and the moments that forced him to confront the privilege, racism, and subversion of human dignity that came with it. With a foreword by Rev. Dr. Bernice A. King. The Reverend Robert W. Lee was a little-known pastor at a small church in North Carolina until the Charlottesville protests, when he went public with his denunciation of white supremacy in a captivating speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. Support poured in from around the country, but so did threats of violence from people who opposed the Reverend's message. In this riveting memoir, he narrates what it was like growing up as a Lee in the South, an experience that was colored by the world of the white Christian majority. He describes the widespread nostalgia for the Lost Cause and his gradual awakening to the unspoken assumptions of white supremacy which had, almost without him knowing it, distorted his values and even his Christian faith. In particular, Lee examines how many white Christians continue to be complicit in a culture of racism and injustice, and how after leaving his pulpit, he was welcomed into a growing movement of activists all across the South who are charting a new course for the region. A Sin by Any Other Name is a love letter to the South, from the South, by a Lee—and an unforgettable call for change and renewal.

Have you ever wondered . . . . . . what a worldview is, and why it's so important? . . . how liberal and conservative Christians both claim the Bible as their foundation? . . . why different worldviews attempt to solve the same problems in different ways? . . . how two people who formally espouse different worldviews can agree on so many issues? . . . why secularism is just as religious as Christianity? . . . why secularism has its own mythology? . . . why secularists want to silence Christianity in America's legislatures, courts, schools, and churches? . . . why education is nearly always offered as a solution to society's ills (and why it won't work)? . . . how to formulate positions on contemporary issues not directly mentioned in the Bible? . . . why Christians are often ineffective at influencing culture? Abernathy answers these questions (and many more) by examining the relationship between ideas and their real-world consequences. This foundational relationship is key to understanding secularism, to understanding why its attempts to solve society's problems produce disastrous real-world consequences, and how its ideas infiltrate the biblical principles of even the most committed Christians. Abernathy sifts through the deceptive language of secular orthodoxy and shows how secularism by any other name still has tragic real-world consequences. Ideologies such as humanism, postmodernism, and liberal Christianity are exposed as repackaged havens of a failed worldview. Seemingly well-intentioned notions such as progressive education, pacifist foreign policy, tolerance, and wealth redistribution are debunked as deceptive myths peddled by an impoverished faith. By Any Other Name shatters the secular barrier erected to exclude Christianity from the marketplace of ideas and lays the groundwork for engaging a culture contaminated by secular mythology.

Sexuality is an integral part of our lives. For many it forms the basis for self-identification and worth, and for others it is an undefined mystery. Sex has been categorised as unmentionable yet unavoidable. As popular as it is today, to discuss it in any detail remains taboo. We cannot afford to ignore, hide, or fantasise about sex anymore. To do so could be lethal to not only our physical being, but to our emotional, psychological, and spiritual health. There is an epidemic in our nation regarding sexual problems. Venereal disease is no longer just an "adult" problem and AIDS has ravaged the land. The author has written an intriguing and thought provoking book that will challenge where you stand on the sex issue. Yes, sex is an issue, and, it is not just an issue for Christians, but for everyone. Sexual problems are not exclusive to any one group. They affect all of us. The book challenges us to look not only at how we view sex, but to examine our own sexuality. Without shame and in intriguing and often humorous fashion, Pastor Barbara brings us face to face with the sex issue. In examining the scriptures, she shares one dimension of what is going on and where we have failed. The book paints a picture of how it all began. In the intimate setting of man's first encounter with God, was it an apple that caused the fall? What did we lose in the garden, what did we inherit from it, can we undo the damage? Pastor Barbara gives us not only answers but hope.
