    “Yes, master. I worship straight men.” 
    “Yeah…that’s a good boy.” Grant pets my hair like I’m some sort of dog. “It feels good to serve straight guys, doesn’t it?” 
    I kneel on the locker room floor, gazing up as the entire swim team surrounds me. Their tight speedos hug their fit, smooth bodies, causing my eyes to linger on the enormous shapes between their legs. 
    “Kiss his feet. Show how you feel about him,” Mike calls out. 
    I fall to the ground and begin my display of loyalty. Not long ago, I thought I liked girls, but these aggressive jocks showed me the truth. I’ll do anything for them—strip nude, drink their essence, let them all use my body… 
    I need to obey.

    In 2007, they arrived in Kiev to change the face of the world. Ten years later, Sacha Shevchenko and Oxana Shachko, the true founders of Femen, were brutally expelled and had their movement taken away from them. 
    Based on their painful confessions, the author traces the international saga of an idea born in the plains of Western Ukraine and which got lost in internal quarrels and personal ambitions.
    Femen is the story of blondes to die for, Russian spies in Montmartre, beatings, corrupt politicians, real and fake escapes, fascists, Islamists and embezzled money.

    Bringing Hope To Hearts That Are Raw And Fragile 
    Are you in an abusive relationship/marriage? 
    Or have you been able to make the break? 
    Do you feel stripped of your dignity and worth and your right to be safe? 
    Are you grappling with guilt and shame? 
    Are you seeking comfort and validation? 
    Are you in need of strength and support? 
    If so, then this book is for you! 
    Over the 20 year period that I was trapped in an abusive marriage, I left and reconciled with my husband many times before God gave me the courage to break free once and for all. 
    I wanted to find a book that would soothe my troubled spirit and show me clearly the Scriptures that speak of God's heart for hurting and abused women. I could not find such a book and so, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I wrote this 40-day devotional. This devotional aims to comfort and uplift the hurting heart of any woman who, like me, was overwhelmed by the pain of an abusive marriage and drowning in sorrow and regret, guilt and grief, shame, doubt and fear. 
    This beautiful book is Spirit-filled with bite sized morsels to savour and digest. It is a book which ministers to women who have found the courage to break free of the cycle of abuse and are now desperately needing validation for their decision. It is also a book which can help women still in abuse to know that there is a way forward through Jesus, the One who invites us to bathe in His true and tender love; and who brings us freedom and joy, overcoming and healing - and the peace that surpasses all understanding.

    What Shakespeare's plays can teach us about modern-day politics 
     
     
     
    William Shakespeare understood power: what it is, how it works, how it is gained, and how it is lost. 
     
     
     
    In The Hollow Crown, Eliot A. Cohen reveals how the battling princes of Henry IV and scheming senators of Julius Caesar can teach us to better understand power and politics today. The White House, after all, is a court—with intrigue and conflict rivaling those on the Globe's stage—as is an army, a business, or a university. And each court is full of driven characters, in all their ambition, cruelty, and humanity. Henry V's inspiring speeches reframe John F. Kennedy's appeal, Richard III's wantonness illuminates Vladimir Putin's brutality, and The Tempest's grace offers a window into the presidency of George Washington. 
     
     
     
    An original and incisive perspective, The Hollow Crown shows how Shakespeare's works transform our understanding of the leaders who, for good or ill, make and rule our world.
