Sinopsis

Heathen Slaves and Christian Rulers is a compelling anthology examining the grim realities of gender and power dynamics across cultures and continents. Through a mix of historical analysis, personal narratives, and impassioned discourses, the collection traverses a range of literary styles to present a comprehensive view of the intricate ties between colonialism, religion, and the subjugation of women. The anthology highlights not only the oppression faced by women in the grip of these powerful forces but also their resilience and the subtle acts of rebellion that served as precursors to wider feminist movements. This ensemble of works appeals to readers interested in global histories, feminist discourse, and the human condition. Compiled by Elizabeth Wheeler Andrew and Katharine C. Bushnell, trailblazing figures in the early Christian feminist movement, the anthology draws from their extensive experience and activism. The diverse voices curated in this work reflect a spectrum of narratives that interrogate religious and cultural orthodoxies, challenging predominant narratives from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As pioneers who keenly sought intersectional understandings of oppression, Andrew and Bushnell position the anthology firmly within progressive social reform and the burgeoning debate on women's rights. Readers are invited to explore Heathen Slaves and Christian Rulers as a profound resource that offers a myriad of perspectives on the intersection of sex, power, and faith. This anthology not only educates but provokes critical thinking and reflection on historical and contemporary gender issues. Ideal for students and scholars alike, it encourages dialogue and offers insights into the socio-political landscapes that continue to influence gender relations today. Authored by voices steeped in both historical context and activist urgency, it becomes an indispensable tool in understanding the complexities of cultural and religious domination.

High Tea and the Low Down - An...

Claire Craig Evans

A Transatlantic Adventure Fueled by Tea and Hedgerow Fruit 
When American Claire Craig Evans married a charming British man, there was a cost for the snappy banter and countless offers of tea: she had to uproot life as she knew it and relocate to the UK. Who wouldn’t want to move to an enchanted island where mysterious women with dewy complexions made jam in thatched cottages with millennia-old lichen attached? 
Sure, experienced American expats offered nuggets of wisdom (“Bring over a lifetime supply of taco seasoning!”) but they weren’t even mild comfort as Claire tried to avoid death, jail, and wayward sheep while learning to navigate zebra crossings and drive on the “wrong” side of the road. 
The allure of a jet-setter lifestyle vanished as fast as Air India sent her Samsonite to Delhi instead of London Heathrow. Would more tea help her figure out how long she’d been wearing the single pair of underwear in her possession? (That was the jetlag talking. They do have underwear in the UK, too.) 
Fans of Bridget Jones and Bill Bryson alike will enjoy High Tea and the Low Down, a keenly-observed memoir full of laugh-out-loud moments as Claire experiences the reality of English living. If she couldn’t even pass a pub quiz, how would she ever pass the infamous Life in the UK test, the high-stakes hurdle required to stay on British soil (and with her husband) indefinitely?

The Love Stories of the Bible...

Shannon Bream

Instant New York Times Bestseller!  
The Bible is full of “love” stories. But the Biblical idea of love is so much bigger than we imagine.  
Love is at the heart of the Bible. From the moment Adam declared Eve “flesh of my flesh”…to the sacrificial love of Joseph for Mary…to the deep friendship of David and Jonathan…to the abounding and never-changing love of God: The Bible is a love story. But it also redefines the way the world tells us we should think about love. 
The Bible reveals not just butterflies and broken hearts. In Scripture, we see God’s beautiful design for the partnership of marriage. We witness friendships that cross all boundaries. We watch as families navigate the many seasons of life. Our guiding example for them all is the deepest, most abiding, foundational love ever known: God’s unconditional love for His people. 
In The Love Stories of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream draws lessons from the good, the bad, and the ugly of Biblical romances, friendships, and families. She shows how God’s love is often very different from ours, turning upside down our assumptions about life, relationships, and each other. 
The Love Stories of the Bible Speak reminds us that, no matter where we find ourselves, God’s unwavering love will sustain and guide us. These insights into biblical relationships will uplift and encourage you, and reveal new dimensions to the most central Christian duty: to love God and your neighbor.

Welcome Home Macho Man - A PTSD...

Ernest Spencer

How does a Macho Man become a Macho Man? And what does he do with himself after getting to play "god" as a Vietnam War Commanding Officer of a Rifle Company in combat? This sequel to "Welcome to Vietnam, Macho Man" digs deep into the mind of a Khe Sanh vet. The author, Ernest Spencer, opens up and shares with the world his life experiences from both before and after surviving the longest battle in the Vietnamese War - 77 non-stop days of combat in Khe Sanh.  
Ernie offers a historical recount of growing up in a bi-racial family in Hawaii, loving and learning from ever present parents, grandparents and extended family and being exposed to military exercises, and heroism from a very early age.  
How does wartime service change a person?  
Ernest shares his struggles with finding a place to fit back into the American Dream. Some, like the author, transition back into society very well in the eyes of the world, yet the demons deep inside are grappled with daily. Ernest's undiagnosed PTSD creates havoc in his life. He feels ashamed of himself for surviving the battle of Khe Sanh while he observed so many around him perish. His silence and the sequestering of his feelings inside causes chaos and destruction in his life.  
Some veterans cannot make the transition back into their former everyday life and spend a large part of their post-war lives suffering outwardly, struggling with drug addiction, and consequently being rejected/ignored by the community around them. Ernest discovers many of these veterans and retells his attempts to rehabilitate and empower them to be healthy and productive adults. Who really stands up and supports veterans with post-war mental illnesses and what are their methods? Enjoy this book, think deeply, and give praise to our brave young soldiers and all that they've endured for our country.
