The award-winning art historian and founder of Vision & Justice uncovers a pivotal era in the story of race in the United States when Americans came to ignore the truth about the false foundations of the nation's racial regime. In a masterpiece of historical detective work, Sarah Lewis exposes one of the most damaging lies in American history. There was a time when Americans were confronted with the fictions shoring up the nation's racial regime and learned to disregard them. The true significance of this hidden history has gone unseen--until now. The surprising catalyst occurred in the nineteenth century when the Caucasian War--the fight for independence in the Caucasus that coincided with the end of the US Civil War--revealed the instability of the entire regime of racial domination. Images of the Caucasus region and peoples captivated the American public but also showed that the place from which we derive "Caucasian" for whiteness was not white at all. Cultural and political figures ranging from P. T. Barnum to Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois to Woodrow Wilson recognized these fictions and more, exploiting, unmasking, critiquing, or burying them. To acknowledge the falsehood at the core of racial order proved unthinkable, especially as Jim Crow and segregation took hold. Sight became a form of racial sculpture, vision a knife excising what no longer served the stability of racial hierarchy. That stability was shaped, crucially, by what was left out, what we have been conditioned not to see. Groundbreaking and profoundly resonant, The Unseen Truth shows how visual tactics have long secured our regime of racial hierarchy in spite of its false foundations--and offers a way to begin to dismantle it.

Rachel is a young Amish woman who is determined not to become like her parents who married each other out of obligation rather than love. She has a crush on a young man in town and she thinks he feels the same way until he inexplicably announces that he is to marry one of her rivals. As if that wasn't an insult enough, the bishop wants her to plan the wedding! Will the two realize they are meant for each other before it is too late?

Sometimes life doesn't start how it should and for Michael this was the case. Neglect is something that is hard to swallow but understanding that there is a way to cope and to see the world from an unfamiliar perspective can help us understand how we too can carry on through difficult times. Finding the love of family and understanding the world through imagination and the magic of nature helped Michael. Mo provides that most important of things, friendship, and companionship when things don't always turn out as they should. Mo has been sent to guide Michael through and to let him know that life can be full of love and caring. It's funny how our paths are written and how they turn out. Luckily for Michael, his path will be set by the friendship of Mo the Muskrat and the love of his Grandparents.

The world is full of many people--more than 7.5 billion, in fact. They speak different languages, wear different clothes, eat different foods, and live in homes that often look very different from ours. Scripture tells us that this beautiful diversity reflects God's creativity and love for humanity, and that He has placed each person within the context of their individual culture, "so that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from any one of us" (Acts 17:27).As children grow and explore the world around them, they will encounter people with beliefs and practices that may seem strange and foreign. As they learn to follow Jesus, they will also discover that He calls us to love our neighbor--whether he or she is next door or on the other side of the world.Loving our neighbors means both seeking to understand what they believe, as well as sharing with them what we believe. This privilege is not exclusive to missionaries. It's something we are all called to do--whether in the coffee shop, at our workplace, or even on the playground.Developed as a partnership between Pioneers, a global missions agency, and Sonlight, a homeschool curriculum company, WorldViews is an engaging, interactive introduction to the five major religous blocs in the world today. Arranged around the acronym "THUMB" (Tribal, Hindu, Unreligious, Tribal, Muslim, Buddhist), WorldViews uses videos, crafts, activities, recipes and other interactive tools to help parents teach their children about global religions.Children will develop a biblical perspective on other faiths and learn about God's love for all the peoples of the world. They will better understand the beliefs and practices of other religions and be equipped to share what they believe with sensitivity and conviction.This resource is to be used alongside videos and other resources available at World-Views.com.
