| Dear Friend, Turkey, politics, and religion. It's been known to get testy around Thanksgiving dinner tables. But it doesn't have to be that way. Says who? Says National Review's own K-Lo, Kathryn Jean Lopez, who teams up with Austen Ivereigh in a terrific new book that will help lower the blood pressure and raise the level of conversation: How to Defend the Faith without Raising Your Voice. Published by Our Sunday Visitor (you can get your copy right here), the book outlines ten civil communications principles that work for any topic, any day. Among them: How to Defend the Faith without Raising Your Voice then walks through some of the most contentious issues of the day, including marriage, assisted suicide, abortion, and women in the Church, to name a few. These can be discussed with friends, family, co-workers, and strangers without food being flung. Here's some praise for How to Defend the Faith without Raising Your Voice from some very cool people: Catholic radio host Sheila Liaugminas: "Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI warned that people in modern culture lived as if God did not exist. Then it got worse. How do Christians speak to a post-Christian culture, filled with people who don't understand language with moral grammar? Austen Ivereigh and Kathryn Lopez are two of the best witnesses of our time for grabbing short attention spans and seizing the moment to reach hearts and minds with pure, palpable love and joy, truth and hope. People crave authenticity, and hear it best in pithy, piercing darts of truth deftly delivered. How to do that is radically simple and powerfully appealing. It is here, in this book, and it is inviting." New York's Cardinal Timothy Dolan: "Kathryn Lopez and Austen Ivereigh have provided a faithful, practical guide for sharing the loving message of Jesus Christ on these topics in everyday situations and conversations. If you've ever squirmed when someone asks, 'Why do you Catholics believe…?' then this is the book for you!" Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput:"The authors have written the perfect guide to handling tough issues and speaking up for our faith with clarity, honesty, and grace. Highly recommended." This welcome book breaks the axis of Polemics and Acida. And while it's aimed at a Catholic audience, anyone who values clear and present encounters even -- or especially -- involving some of the hot-button topics of the day, will find a friend in How to Defend the Faith without Raising Your Voice. Get it once, get it twice. Give it as a gift. Give a gift of peace at the family gathering for Christmas (it'll make that figgy pudding and fruitcake go down and stay down!). Order your copy of How to Defend the Faith without Raising Your Voice right now, right here. Happy Thanksgiving, Jack Fowler Publisher National Review

A left-wing writer and racial-justice activist who has claimed that American society was "instituted by racist ideas and maintained by racist policies" published a black history book for kids earlier this year that appears to be filled with content plagiarized from other sources, according to a review of the book by National Review . Confronted with the apparent plagiarism, the book’s publisher said it would be pulled from circulation pending an investigation. Rann Miller, a New Jersey-based activist and educator, published Resistance Stories from Black History for Kids in March. According to the book, it is designed to be a "place of entry" into the history of the African people so readers will be "empowered to fight" injustices in the world. Miller, a former teacher who has both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree from Rutgers University, also writes opinion pieces for the Philadelphia Inquirer , the Progressive Magazine, and education websites
