Are you tired of pretending to understand philosophers who write like they're being paid per syllable of confusion? This book is your revenge. In 50 Philosophers You’ll Regret Reading, author Sophia Blackwell takes a sledgehammer to the ivory tower with biting wit, dark humor, and no patience for footnote fetishism. From the cosmic gibberish of Parmenides to Derrida’s textual striptease, this is the ultimate roast of Western philosophy’s most unreadable minds. Kant’s 800-page snoozefest? Ripped to shreds. Nietzsche’s gym-bro metaphysics? Dismantled with flair. Husserl’s bracketed nightmare?

What if the way you’ve been taught to view God has been the very thing holding you back from the life you were meant to live?

In Reimagine God, Rev. Jason Powell offers a bold and liberating path to reclaim your faith. Blending progressive Christianity, New Thought metaphysics, Pentecostal passion, and lived experience, this book is a spiritual awakening for today’s seekers.
