  As one of the biggest stars in the world, Jackie Chan has wowed audiences with death-defying stunts for decades. But who really is this boyishly handsome, lightning-fast Charlie Chaplin of martial arts moviemaking? Jackie Chan has never told his own story in his own words. In I Am Jackie Chan, he tells the fascinating, harrowing, ultimately triumphant story of his life: How the son of refugees in 1950s Hong Kong became the disciplined disciple of a Chinese Opera Master. How, after years of plunging off skyscrapers and living to tell the tale, a once scared seven-year-old boy broke into the Hollywood big time by breaking almost every bone in his body.

  When Kevin Powell's elderly mother became ill, he returned home ever week to take her grocery shopping in Jersey City. Walking behind her during those trips, Powell began to hear her voice, stories, and language in a new way—and examined his own healing while praying for hers. 
   
  Grocery Shopping with My Mother originated as social media posts about these visits and evolved into a breathtaking collection of thirty-two new poems, crafted like an album, plus four bonus tracks celebrating a great love of wordplay.  
   
  Culturally rooted in the literary traditions of Ntozake Shange and Allen Ginsberg, Powell’s poems honor the likes of V (formerly Eve Ensler), bell hooks, and Sidney Poitier. 
   
  Grocery Shopping with My Mother dives into the complexities of relationships and contemporary themes with honesty and vulnerability. Creatively and spiritually inspired by Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life, Powell’s poems shift in form and style, from praise chants to reverential  
  meditations to, most importantly, innovative hope.

  Courageous Women of the Bible -...

  Arcelio Hernández Mussio

  The Bible often remembers and celebrates the names of great men of God. People like Abraham, Moses, David, Paul, Isaiah, and Elijah are well-known for their important roles in the story of God's people. These men are honored for their faith, leadership, and the key parts they played in God's plan. 
  However, as we delve into the Scriptures, we often overlook the equally significant contributions of women of God. The Bible, while rich with the stories of these men, also holds accounts of extraordinary women whose strength, wisdom, and faithfulness were crucial to the unfolding of God's narrative. For instance, Sarah's faith in God's promise of a son, Ruth's loyalty to her mother-in-law, and Mary's acceptance of her role in God's plan. Yet, these women often remain in the background, their stories less frequently told, their virtues less regularly celebrated. 
  This book is a necessary contribution to Christian literature, as it celebrates the strength and wisdom of prominent women in the Bible. In the pages you are about to read, you will get a glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary women. Their faith and actions were significant and played pivotal roles in shaping the Biblical narrative. The book is organized chronologically, starting with the Old Testament and moving through to the New Testament, to provide a comprehensive view of these women's contributions. 
  This book celebrates these 30 women, each embodying unique qualities and virtues that can guide and inspire us in our modern lives. Their stories offer timeless lessons on resilience, faith, leadership, and profound love, demonstrating that the challenges and virtues they faced are just as relevant and applicable in our lives today. Whether it is Hannah's unwavering faith, Abigail's strategic wisdom, or Ruth's selfless loyalty, these women provide powerful examples of how to live with purpose and integrity in our contemporary world.

  Raised in an atheist household, Sally Read nevertheless saw images of the Blessed Virgin Mary from earliest childhood—and they remained with her in the most remarkable ways. Conscious of the conflict between her feminist values and what came to be a fascination with Marian art, Read—through tumultuous relationships, loneliness, and distant places—began a unique quest to discover the true essence of Mary. These pages contain the strange, raw, and epiphany-filled stories that led to Read’s dramatic nine-month conversion from atheism to Catholicism. Focusing not only on Read’s life but also on the lives of others who, knowingly or unknowingly, encountered the Virgin, this literary memoir is a testimony of how a Mother patiently brought one child home to her Son—and slowly revealed her own heart.
