  From being misunderstood to making history: The incredible story of Aryan Pasha. 
  On the day Aryan Pasha stepped onto the bodybuilding stage, he wasn't just competing-he was claiming his truth.  
  Born a girl and raised in a body that never felt like his own, Aryan's journey from a suffocating childhood in Delhi to becoming India's first transgender bodybuilding champion is a testament to fierce courage. In Aryan Pasha: The Untold Story of India's First Transgender Bodybuilding Champion, Apra Kuchhal chronicles his battle with gender dysphoria, personal loss and societal resistance in a world not built to accept him-rising to make history in a fiercely masculine sport and forging a path for others. 
  Raw, unflinching and deeply moving, this is more than a biography-it's a story of grit, selfhood and becoming. At a time when the right to define one's own identity is being questioned, Aryan's story feels more urgent than ever-and impossible to forget.

  A spiritual biography of the "father of modern missions,"Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret poses one question: What empowered Hudson Taylor's ministry in China? The answer is unfolded in these pages. Written by Taylor's son and daughter-in-law, it shows us a man with fierce faith who believed that God truly would fuflill all He promises in Scripture. For Christians longing for the inward joy and power that Hudson Taylor had, they can find the secret to it here. The secret, it turns out, is available to any who call on Christ's name. 
   
  "An easy, non-self-denying life will never be one of power," Taylor said. "Fruit-bearing involves cross-bearing. There are not two Christs—an easygoing one for easygoing Christians, and a suffering, toiling one for exceptional believers. There is only one Christ. Are you willing to abide in Him, and thus to bear much fruit?"Now with a new foreword by George Verwer

  “A brilliant, blistering read.” — Heather O’Neill, author of When We Lost Our Heads
  		 
  A scorching examination of how we treat endometriosis today 
  		 
  Have you ever been told that your pain is imaginary? That feeling better just takes yoga, CBD oil, and the blood of a unicorn on a full moon? That’s the reality of the more than 190 million people suffering the excruciating condition known as endometriosis. This disease affecting one in ten cis women and uncounted numbers of others is chronically overlooked, underfunded, and misunderstood — and improperly treated across the medical system. Discrimination and medical gaslighting are rife in endo care, often leaving patients worse off than when they arrived. 
  		 
  Journalist Tracey Lindeman knows it all too well. Decades of suffering from endometriosis propelled the creation of BLEED — part memoir, part investigative journalism, and all scathing indictment of how the medical system fails patients. Through extensive interviews and research, BLEED tracks the modern endo experience to the origins of medicine and how the system gained its power by marginalizing women. Using an intersectional lens, BLEED dives into how the system perpetuates misogyny, racism, classism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia, and other prejudices to this day.
  		 
  BLEED isn’t a self-help book. It’s an evidence file and an eye-opening, enraging read. It will validate those who have been gaslit, mistreated, or ignored by medicine and spur readers to fight for nothing short of revolution.

At fourteen, longing for excitement and something of her own, Nikki fixates on superstar Warren Beatty. She's determined to find him and have him in her life forever. She creates a solid plan that she initiates four years later at the age of eighteen when she gets a job as a restaurant hostess where Beatty frequents.
