  The Metoo Movement - Fighting...

  The MeToo movement has become one of the most significant social movements of the 21st century, capturing the global attention of millions and reshaping conversations around sexual harassment, assault, and gender inequality. What began as a simple hashtag in 2006, introduced by activist Tarana Burke, has evolved into a global call to action, leading to widespread awareness, conversations, and systemic changes regarding how society addresses sexual violence. The movement’s resonance stems from its powerful message: sexual harassment and assault are widespread issues that affect women and marginalized groups across all sectors of society, from entertainment to politics, from workplaces to homes. 
  The origins of MeToo lie in a need for a platform where survivors of sexual violence could share their experiences and find solidarity. Tarana Burke’s original vision was to create a supportive community for women of color who had experienced abuse and harassment. However, it was not until 2017, when the hashtag #MeToo went viral following allegations against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, that the movement gained immense global traction. What followed was a wave of survivors coming forward, recounting their own stories of harassment, abuse, and trauma. The hashtag quickly became a symbol of empowerment, solidarity, and strength, with millions of people around the world joining in to share their experiences, stand in support of others, and demand change. 
    
  The digital age played a crucial role in amplifying the voices of survivors. Social media platforms, particularly Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, provided a space for individuals to share their stories without the barriers of traditional media. The power of the hashtag allowed voices from all walks of life, from ordinary individuals to high-profile celebrities, to unite in a way that was impossible before.

  In the face of personal and global suffering, is it possible to live with hope rather than despair? Join psychiatrist, speaker, and award-winning author Curt Thompson as he shows us how God transforms our grief into a lasting peace that surpasses all understanding. 
  Suffering is a defining reality of life. Yet so many of us are so focused on avoiding discomfort that we've never learned how to actually suffer. But what if we could move from anxiety to durable hope? 
  In The Deepest Place, Thompson invites us to explore how the Apostle Paul's experience of love, secure attachment, and the deeply felt sense of God's abiding presence carried him through the challenges he faced--and how it can help us not just survive, but flourish in the presence of suffering. 
  Combining scripture with his own professional insight, Thompson helps us discover that:Suffering can increase our sense of security rather than our fearsHope is something we form in communityFaith can grow out of anger, cynicism, and doubtPerseverance changes our brain and reshapes our imaginationListening to our bodies helps us find new hope in loss 
    
  As Thompson reminds us, those who have suffered greatly, including the Apostle Paul, are able to see their stories with a new understanding of God's presence and unfailing love. Let The Deepest Place show you how to do the same.

  Science, not speculative philosophy, is the only guide, however imperfect, to the nature of existence. Science culture uses and supports science. The social brain experiences free will and needs religious faith. Empathy is a choice based on intuition. We need a better scientific understanding of dogma and chauvinism, and this book explores these issues. It also describes the Crisis of the Anthropocene, described in under a hundred pages, is a wakeup that needs to overcome ignorance and naïve optimism, and reach our deepest emotions. Topics include climate change, biodiversity, pollutants, population, and political causes behind the collapse. This book also presents data from Internationalcomparisons.org that demonstrates that the US is neither advanced nor a democracy and has failed to deal with guns, reproductive rights, taxation, social welfare, fiscal discipline, and other issues. Even with these already significant problems Americans must face, there is even more: Trumpism and Putinism are existential threats to American freedom and democracy. This book presents a framework for others to act in the time of these issues.

  Wicked Charleston: The Dark Side of the Holy City, by local resident and tour guide Mark R. Jones, explores the dark alleys and seedy characters not often associated with the Charleston of today. 
   
   
   
  A beautiful Southern city distinguished by its opulent homes, towering church steeples, and hospitality, Charleston, South Carolina, has long been associated with the genteel side of Southern living. However, beyond the outward appearances that most people associate with Charleston, there is another side that most visitors and residents would dare not believe is part of the very fabric from which the city's history was woven. From the sexual escapades of an original Lord Proprietor and the comings and goings of the most notorious pirates, to secret brothels and nightclubs, Jones leads the reader back to a time when "drinking, eating, and whoring with more than fifty wenches" was perhaps more common in the Holy City than one may imagine.
