100 vegan recipes that riff on Southern cooking in surprising and delicious ways, beautifully illustrated with full-color photography. Jenné Claiborne grew up in Atlanta eating classic Soul Food—fluffy biscuits, smoky sausage, Nana's sweet potato pie—but thought she'd have to give all that up when she went vegan. As a chef, she instead spent years tweaking and experimenting to infuse plant-based, life-giving, glow-worthy foods with the flavor and depth that feeds the soul. In Sweet Potato Soul, Jenné revives the long tradition of using fresh, local ingredients creatively in dishes like Coconut Collard Salad and Fried Cauliflower Chicken. She improvises new flavors in Peach Date BBQ Jackfruit Sliders and Sweet Potato-Tahini Cookies. She celebrates the plant-based roots of the cuisine in Bootylicious Gumbo and savory-sweet Georgia Watermelon & Peach Salad. And she updates classics with Jalapeño Hush Puppies, and her favorite, Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls. Along the way, Jenné explores the narratives surrounding iconic and beloved soul food recipes, as well as their innate nutritional benefits—you've heard that dandelion, mustard, and turnip greens, okra, and black eyed peas are nutrition superstars, but here's how to make them super tasty, too. From decadent pound cakes and ginger-kissed fruit cobblers to smokey collard greens, amazing crabcakes and the most comforting sweet potato pie you'll ever taste, these better-than-the-original takes on crave-worthy dishes are good for your health, heart, and soul.

Maynard and Seamus. Sea and May. Wolfman and Sundance. This is a story that can, May and will change the World! This is a story told by a Child full of Silence and Peace. This is a story of two young people driving away from the Rock-like locus of Youth, while still retaining part of Youth's Golden Vision in their rearview mirrors (and dashboard Sun visor). This is a story that concerns the Search for God and Self, which one finds, at the end of the Odyssey, are All One in the same sacred place. This is a cautionary tale that concerns America's Sunday-morning's-everyday-for-all-I-care youths, and their quick, cynical, unfulfilling, and inevitable descent into solipsistic/nihilistic adulthood. This is a story that reminds that Youth (and, perhaps, America) is a bildungsroman that must topple before being reborn. This is a bittersweet, tragic comedy of Transformation, in which the changes in Maynard and Seamus mirror a coming cultural Revolution. This is a story of Truth planted firm - born of Fire, surrounded by Water and spread by Air. This is a story of Jungian, (and near Almagestian), breadth, full of Music and Movement and Love and Faith. This is a story whose Time has come. . . . Maynard and Seamus. Sea and May. Wolfman and Sundance. This is a story that can, May and will change the World!

"We are made for goodness. We are made for love. We are made for friendliness. We are made for togetherness."—Desmond Tutu In this personal and inspirational book, the late beloved Nobel Prize-winner and humanitarian shares the secret of joy and hope in the face of life’s difficulties. Archbishop Desmond Tutu witnessed some of the world’s darkest moments, for decades fighting the racist government policy of apartheid and since then being an ambassador of peace amidst political, diplomatic, and natural disasters. Yet people find him and his work joyful and hopeful. In Made for Goodness, Tutu shares his source of strength and optimism. Written with his daughter, Mpho, who is also an ordained Anglican minister, Tutu argues that God has made us for goodness, and when we simply start walking in the direction of this calling, God is there to meet us, encourage us, embrace us. God has made the world as a grand theater for us to work out this call to goodness; it is up to us to live up to this calling, but God is there to help us every step of the way. So, tackling our worst problems takes on new meaning and is bostered with hope and the expectation that that is exactly where God will show up. Father and daughter offer an inspiring message of hope that will transform readers into activists for change and blessing.
