Hi Readers,In case you haven’t noticed (but you read this newsletter, so I’m sure you can’t help but notice) I am in full-on-preparing-for-book-launch mode. The official launch of Disciples of White Jesus: The Radicalization of American Boyhood, is just 11 days away!That means it’s also just 11 days until my 40th Birthday.
