  Broken Power

  Why God Trusted Women With the World’s Turning Point 
  You were taught that power looks like control. 
  That strength looks suspiciously masculine. 
  Broken Power gently—and irrevocably—undoes those assumptions. 
  Written for the woman who loves Christ but feels unseen by His story, this book reveals a pattern hidden in plain sight: 
  God has always moved power through relationship—not dominance. Through the body—not despite it. Through women—not around them. 
  This is not a book about becoming louder, harder, or more “empowered” in the modern sense. 
  It’s about remembering what you already carry. 
  Through Scripture, theology, history, and the lived wisdom of the female body, Broken Power reframes Christianity’s central mystery: that the greatest shift of power in the universe came not through force—but through trust, yielding, and an open body willing to receive and transform life. 
  You’ll discover:Why Christ’s power looks far more maternal than imperialHow your body mirrors God’s way of creating, redeeming, and healing the worldWhy feminine vulnerability is not a weakness—but Heaven’s chosen technologyAnd how power, once broken open by love, becomes something you host, not something you hold 
  It speaks to the woman who has carried life, carried faith, carried others—and quietly wondered if God sees her strength as central, or merely supportive. 
  After Broken Power, you won’t read Scripture the same. 
  You won’t read yourself the same. 
  And you won’t mistake softness for smallness ever again. 
  This is a book for Christian women who are ready to stop apologizing for the way God designed them—and start trusting that He knew exactly what He was doing.

  "The Pivot of Civilization" is a non-fiction book written by Margaret Sanger, the founder of the birth control movement in the United States. Sanger argues that overpopulation is the root cause of poverty, disease, and social unrest. She advocates for the use of birth control methods to enable women to control their own reproductive health and prevent unwanted pregnancies. Sanger also argues that access to birth control can help to improve the lives of women and children, and can ultimately lead to a better society. In "The Pivot of Civilization," Sanger makes a powerful case for the importance of reproductive rights and family planning. Her ideas were controversial at the time, but they helped to pave the way for the widespread availability of birth control and the legalization of abortion in the United States. Overall, "The Pivot of Civilization" is an influential book that remains relevant today as debates around reproductive rights and family planning continue to shape public policy and social attitudes

  American Monsters: The History...

  Editors Charles River

  People have always been fascinated with the hidden, the mysterious, and the unexplained. Every society has its tall tales and ghost stories, its odd legends, and heroes. Also, every society has its stories of strange beasts, dangerous or benign, that live in the twilight world between the everyday and the legendary. Through most of history, people have been closely tied to nature, hunting in forests and having an intimate knowledge of the animals in their regions. So-called “primitive” peoples were walking encyclopedias of the natural world, and yet most believed there were more creatures lurking in those woods than the ones they usually encountered. Even as the world becomes more connected, the belief in strange creatures continues as strong as ever. 
  	As a result, in one sense it shouldn’t be surprising that people across the United States have reported seeing weird cryptids, including giant birds, sea serpents, wolfmen, and a creature so bizarre it defies any rational classification. The only thing these monsters have in common is that all have been seen regularly and reported by seemingly sober, rational witnesses in the United States, even as conventional science suggests these monsters cannot exist and that all the sightings are mistakes, misidentifications, or hoaxes.  
  	In some cases, this may be true, but in others, it’s harder to accept. For example, one story about a 10-year-old boy being carried off by a giant bird was witnessed by several other people. Likewise, the Gloucester sea serpent seen by hundreds of people and carefully and scientifically investigated, and during one week in 1909, hundreds if not thousands of people reported seeing the Jersey Devil. Sightings of wolf-like creatures walking on two legs have been reported for more than 100 years.

  What if your brain wasn’t the enemy... but the tool you’ve never learned how to use properly? 
  You wake up with that familiar tension in your chest. Your thoughts race before your feet even touch the floor. You overthink, avoid, procrastinate, repeat. You’ve tried to “calm down,” but your brain seems wired for panic. 
  Here’s the truth: 
  Anxiety doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means your brain’s trying to protect you — just in the wrong way. And once you understand how that wiring works, you can start changing it. You can interrupt the panic patterns, replace the fear loops, and actually feel good again. 
  This audiobook gives you a toolkit for that shift — from overthinking to clarity, from mental exhaustion to resilience. 
  Here’s what you’ll take away: 
  •	Why your anxiety isn’t just “in your head” — and what’s really triggering it 
  •	The link between low moods, low energy, and how your brain processes stress 
  •	What your brain needs to feel safe — and why it’s not getting it 
  •	The exact moment negative thoughts take over (and how to stop them mid-loop) 
  •	Easy-to-follow brain rewiring techniques you can use anywhere 
  •	A simple way to build habits that don’t fall apart after a week 
  •	How to talk to yourself without sounding fake or cringey 
  •	Everyday rituals that quietly boost your mood and focus 
  •	What mindfulness really is (no incense required) and why it works

  Representations of Blackness have always been integral to our understanding of of the modern world. In Black Meme, Legacy Russell, author of Glitch Feminism, explores the construct, culture, and material of the "meme" as mapped to Black visual culture from 1900 to present day. Mining archival and contemporary media Russell explores the impact of Blackness, Black life, and death on contemporary conceptions of viral culture, borne in the age of the internet. 
   
   
   
  These meditations include: the circulation of Lynching postcards; Jet magazine's publication of a picture of Emmett Till in his open casket; how the televised broadcast of protesters in Selma enters the nation's living room and changed the debate on civil rights; how a citizen-recorded video of the Rodney King beating at the hands of the LAPD became known as the "first viral video"; what the Anita Hill hearings tell us about the media's creation of the Black icon; Tamara Lanier's fight to reclaim the photos of her enslaved ancestors, Renty and Delia, from Harvard's archive; the Facebook Live recording by Lavish "Diamond" Reynolds of the murder of her partner Philando Castile by the police after being stopped for a broken tail light; and more. Legacy Russell explores the power of these tokens and argues that without the contributions of Black people, digital culture would not exist in its current form.
