Summary

In this graphic memoir, the beloved comics artist shares her “frank, funny” story of finding a husband as an observant Muslim woman in America (NPR Morning Edition).   Chaperones, suitors, and arranged marriages aren't only reserved for the heroines of a Jane Austen novel. They're just another walk in the park for this leading lady, who is on a mission to find her leading lad. From the brilliant comics Yes, I’m Hot in This, Huda Fahmy tells the hilarious story of how she met and married her husband. Navigating mismatched suitors, gossiping aunties, and societal expectations for Muslim women, That Can Be Arranged deftly reveals to readers what it can be like to find a husband as an observant Muslim woman in the twenty-first century—offering a perceptive and personal glimpse into the sometimes sticky but ultimately rewarding balance of independent choice and tradition.  Praise for the work of Huda Fahmy   “Explores the complexities of identity . . . hilarious, charming.” —Kirkus Reviews   “Entertaining, frequently wry.” —Publishers Weekly
Available since: 03/10/2020.
Print length: 192 pages.

    Without light, there is no color. 
An object appears colored because of the way it interacts with light. The color itself comes from the light. The blue crayon is only blue because of the amount of light that is present, absorbed, and reflected off the crayon. 
Matthew 24 says "Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world." 
We are God’s crayons! He wants us to color this world by shining light on every part. 
Our mission is to color the entire world. 
In this book, we’ll explore how God is like a box of crayons by looking at the colors that are inside of the box. 
I am excited to color this world with you through this 30-day devotional. God is light, He is color, God is Like a Box of Crayons. 
Includes 31 downloadable devotional adult coloring pages for you to print off.

    Recently single, Danny Wallace was falling into loneliness and isolation. When a stranger on a bus advises, "Say yes more," Wallace vows to say yes to every offer, invitation, challenge, and chance.  In Yes Man, Wallace recounts his months-long commitment to complete openness with profound insight and humbling honesty. Saying yes takes Wallace into a new plane of existence: a place where money comes as easily as it goes, nodding a lot can lead to a long weekend overseas with new friends, and romance isn't as complicated as it seems. Yes eventually leads to the biggest question of all: "Do you, Danny Wallace, take this woman . . ." Yes Man is inspiring proof that a little willingness can take anyone to the most wonderful of places.

    Holy war in Epic, Kansas? You'd better believe it! It's Revival Week, and every man, woman, child and cocker spaniel--if it looks Methodist--is expected to be there. There really is an Epic, Kansas but you won't find it on a map. Perhaps it's the very town where you grew up. Perhaps you, like Edwin J. Stamford, at age eleven, lived there while coming to grips with one of the basic truths of life: "Always blame the boy!" Growing up is never easy--and Edwin may not have been the first nor the last boy to cut his toe while trying to learn the manly art of shaving. If you were ever a boy, you probably lived many weeks like Edwin's. If you were a sister, you were probably "Irene the Rat"--and you should be ashamed of yourself. A fantastic rite of passage, The Revival reminds us of innocent times, simpler places, and the wonders of growing up.
