  Breaking the Cycle of Silence is an introduction into child sexual abuse and child sexual abuse prevention. The latest statistics tell us that one out of three girls and one out of six boys will be sexually abused before the age of eighteen, destroying their lives in ways we can't even imagine. We also know that 90 percent of the time victims know their abuser.  
       Daniel Pearse is living proof of both these statistics. He and his brother were sent to live with a pedophile after their mother died. For nine years, Daniel suffered sexual, physical, emotional, mental and verbal abuse at the hands of his tormentor.  
  Like many abused children, Daniel then suffered in silence for decades as an adult. Now he's committed to stopping the cycle of abuse that causes so much pain. 
       Breaking the Cycle of Silence recounts Daniels harrowing story, gives his opinions on how to eliminate child sexual abuse, offers introductory educational  resources for the prevention of child sexual abuse. How to recognize child sexual abuse, disclosure and support for victims of child sexual abuse.  
       Breaking the Cycle of Silence proposes age-appropriate child sexual abuse prevention training and education in schools. It teaches children what is appropriate, shows adults the signs of abuse to look for, and offers sources for support for victims. With such training and education, we can identify and stop abusers, preventing them from claiming victim after victim for years.

  The definitive biography of American suffragist and women's rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton, from a preeminent historian of women's suffrage 
   
  "The life of Elizabeth Cady Stanton still has much to teach us. The invented prisons of race, sex, and class are still with us, but learning about successful past struggles against them can help to equalize the future." —Gloria Steinem 
   
  Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a singular leader, thinker, and organizer whose fight for women's emancipation stretched from the 1840s to her death in 1902, a full fifth of America's history. Yet her legacy has been marked by controversy. In this landmark biography, eminent historian Ellen Carol DuBois paints a fresh portrait of this complex crusader whose tireless work made contemporary feminism possible. 
   
  Born in 1815 into a family deeply marked by the tumult of the American Revolution and surging evangelicalism, Stanton was captivated by Enlightenment ideas about individual freedom and transformed by early experiences in what she called "the school of antislavery." Though most remembered for her fight for the vote, she was also an early crusader for women's reproductive autonomy and reforming the institution of marriage, and against Christianity's subordination of women. Her rifts with Black reformers and embrace of nativist ideas tarnished her reputation, but her words still have the ability to move and agitate people today. 
   
  Building upon exhaustive archival research and a deep engagement with Stanton's copious writings, Elizabeth Cady Stanton brilliantly captures a crucial reformer in all of her intelligence, moral ambiguity, and power. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Marguerite Gavin, with audio engineering by Allie McSwain. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  Printing Press The: The History...

  The history of printing was for ancient Asia an advancement in culture and communication, but for Europe in the 15th century, it was much more, plunging the continent into a new paradigm and aligning it for the modern world. Its importance is often overlooked, but the timeliness of the printing machine was equivalent to the invention of alphabets in antiquity and ranks up there with the digital revolution and the introduction of the internet. Put simply, it made the Renaissance possible and led to the modernization of Europe. 
  Long before the emergence of the modern world, paper was unknown in the West, and all documents were transcribed by hand onto clay, papyrus, and parchment. More importantly, few were allowed to express themselves through written media. Writing was for the most part theological in nature, reserved for scribes mostly living and working in monasteries. Books in the Middle Ages were owned almost exclusively by monasteries and educational institutions, and with reading material being such a rarity, content remained narrow and difficult to access. 
  	Based on earlier Asian principles, Johannes Gutenberg’s movable type printing press propelled an industry that led to the education of the West and ultimately removed the tight grip of the Vatican from daily European life. Within less than a century of Gutenberg’s device appearing on the scene, printing presses had churned out tens of millions of copies of books of all types, and as more people became educated, lower classes became wealthier while revolutionary principles spread across borders like wildfire. In addition to ushering in the Renaissance, the printing press also made the Reformation possible, and just as gunpowder was revolutionizing medieval warfare, the printing press led to battles over ideas and the rise of nationalism. For better and worse, after Gutenberg’s printing press became available, the world would never be the same.

  The Ink is Dry - God's...

  The book in your hands is for people seeking to understand what the Bible says to Christians of every generation and cultural placement about marriage, family, and sexual responsibility. This book is not a political appeal to bind Christian morality through law. It is an appeal, instead, for Christians to live the distinctive life to which God has called us in Christ Jesus. 
   
  Paul’s rhetorical question in 1 Corinthians 5:12 still rings in our ears: “While we are not responsible for what outsiders to the faith may do with their lives, do we not have a duty to those people who are members of our congregations of believers?” The ink is dry on the critical issue of what Christians are to regard as marriage. The ink is dry on the fidelity Christian husbands and wives are expected to exhibit toward each other. Equally, the ink is dry on the present-day disputes around same-sex behaviors. 
   
  With love and respect for those in our culture who adopt and live to other standards, the norm for Christian behavior is fixed within a tradition that is more than 3,000 years old. While denouncing homophobia and verbal or physical abuse against the LGBTQ+ community, Shelly makes a cogent case from Scripture, history, and reason for Christians to honor God’s design for sex and marriage.

  Camilla - From Outcast to Queen...

  For many years, Camilla was portrayed in a poor light, blamed by the public for the break-up of the marriage between Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Initially, Queen Elizabeth refused to see or speak to her, but, since the death of Prince Philip, Camilla had become one of the Queen's closest companions. Her confidence in Camilla and the transformation she had seen in Prince Charles since their wedding resulted in her choosing the first day of her Platinum Jubilee year to tell the world that she wanted Camilla to be Queen Consort, not the demeaning Princess Consort suggested in 2005. 
   
   
   
  Angela Levin uncovers Camilla's rocky journey to be accepted by the royal family and how she coped with her brutal portrayal in Netflix's The Crown. The public have witnessed her tremendous contribution to help those in need, especially during COVID. Levin has talked to many of Camilla's long-term friends, her staff, and executives from the numerous charities of which Camilla is patron. She reveals why Camilla concentrates on previously taboo subjects, such as domestic violence and rape. Most of all, Levin tells the story of how Camilla has changed from a fun-loving young woman to one of the senior royals' hardest workers. She has retained her mischievous sense of humor, becoming a role model for older women and an inspiration for younger ones.
