Caroline J. Sumlin, We’ll All be Free
“With passion and compassion, We’ll All be Free by Caroline J. Sumlin reveals the force that keeps all of us, whether we are part of a marginalized group or not, from freely expressing who we are as image bearers of God: white supremacy culture. Sharing her own story, she helps you see the wide-ranging effects of living in a culture of white supremacy. She identifies the damaging beliefs we internalize from our very earliest days and shows us how to find clarity and freedom as we dismantle the oppressive structures that hem us in and force us to conform.”

Not A Colouring Book, Not a Colouring Book
“Not A Colouring Book is like a colouring book, but in reverse. The colours are provided and you get to add the lines! Included are ten unique watercolour paintings that you can doodle and draw over. It is perfect for anyone who likes to doodle, anyone who thinks drawing isn't for them, for anyone who liked the idea of the "adult colouring book" trend but couldn't get into it. It's like art improv -- you just follow the blobs, see what you see and respond to the colours and shapes on the page.”
