Synopsis

"Human Rights" explores the profound dedication of activists fighting for human dignity, offering a vital examination of human rights' historical evolution and contemporary challenges. The book traces the concept from ancient philosophy to the post-World War II framework, revealing how universal ideals translate into tangible change, often at great personal risk. Readers will discover the critical importance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and how it underpins international treaties.

 
The book progresses by introducing core concepts and then transitioning into biographical accounts of key activists, grouped by the rights they championed, such as civil and political rights, economic and social rights, and rights for marginalized groups. Through narrative non-fiction, the book makes intricate legal and political ideas accessible, supported by primary sources like personal letters and speeches, alongside academic research and data from organizations such as the United Nations. This approach provides valuable insights into social justice, global affairs, and the complexities of activism.

This Life I Live - One Man's...

Rory Feek

**NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**
Her story. His story. The love story of Joey and Rory.
By inviting so many into the final months of Joey’s life as she battled cancer, Joey and Rory Feek captured hearts around the world with how they handled the diagnosis; the inspiring, simple way they chose to live; and how they loved each other every step of the way. But there is far more to the story.
“My life is very ordinary,” says Rory. “On the surface, it is not very special. If you looked at it, day to day, it wouldn’t seem like much. But when you look at it in a bigger context—as part of a larger story—you start to see the magic that is on the pages of the book that is my life. And the more you look, the more you see. Or, at least, I do.”
In this vulnerable book, he takes us for the first time into his own challenging life story and what it was like growing up in rural America with little money and even less family stability.
This is the story of a man searching for meaning and security in a world that offered neither. And it’s the story of a man who finally gives it all to a power higher than himself and soon meets a young woman who will change his heart forever.
In This Life I Live, Rory Feek helps us not only to connect more fully to his and Joey’s story but also to our own journeys. He shows what can happen when we are fully open in life’s key moments, whether when meeting our life companion or tackling an unexpected tragedy. He also gives never-before-revealed details on their life together and what he calls “the long goodbye,” the blessing of being able to know that life is going to end and taking advantage of it. Rory shows how we are all actually there already and how we can learn to live that way every day.
A gifted man from nowhere and everywhere in search of something to believe in. A young woman from the Midwest with an angelic voice and deep roots that just needed a place to be planted. This is their story. Two hearts that found each other and touched millions of other hearts along the way.

Girl in a Sect - A True Story

Linnéa Kuling

Linnéa Kuling was a child brought up in the infamous pentecostal sect in Knutby, Sweden, where one person was murdered and another shot. This is her story about growing up in the innermost circle of the Bride of Christ, and about how her safe haven turned into total darkness.

When she was little and her family moved to Knutby, it was like coming home. They were welcomed into a loving and warm community that they thought would be paradise. It became hell. The family was torn apart, her mother would no longer be her mother, Linnéa would be the daughter of Christ's bride.

Despite this – not everything in Knutby was bad. Linnéa gives a unique insight into one of Sweden's most talked about sects - through the eyes of a child. It's a story about trying to fit in and seek confirmation in a capricious community where love is conditional and the adults' betrayal of the children is immense. It is also a story about putting aside one's own will to devote one's life to something greater, to do good.

Encounters With Men

Bob Ostertag

Encounters With Men is a searching memoir as only Bob Ostertag could tell it. In these pages are a lifetime of intimacies and distances, moments with fathers and teachers, friends and lovers, soldiers, cops, and criminals— even one of the great mass murderers of the late twentieth century.


Bob Ostertag writes of the men he has known in stories shot through with deep love and deep violence, sex often at the core. Here, we encounter the worst of the AIDS epidemic and the best of human behavior. Fittingly, the final encounter occurs exclusively online, a stark yet compelling portrait of the new sex work in the digital age.


Like encounters with bears, except with men.
