The beloved daughter of Jewish captives in Babylon, Keren is sold into
Daniel’s household to help her family survive. She becomes Daniel’s
most trusted scribe, while taking lessons and swordsmanship training
alongside Daniel’s sons and their best friend, Jared.
But after a tragic accident changes the course of her life, Keren finds
herself in a foreign country, charged with a mysterious task: teaching
a shepherd boy how to become a lord. When she overhears whispers that
hint at his true identity, she realizes she must protect him from the
schemes of a bloodthirsty king.
Jared cannot forgive Keren. Still, he finds himself traveling over
mountains to fetch her back to the safety of home. When he discovers
the secret identity of Keren’s pupil, Jared knows he must help protect
him. Love battles bitterness as they flee from the king’s agents,
trying to save the boy who could one day deliver their people from
captivity.
Voordat Christus haar aangespreek het as “my dogter”, voor sy genesing
gesteel het deur aan die punt van sy kleed te raak, was sy ’n vrou met
’n hart wat gebloei het ...
Elianna word as jong meisie verteer deur skuldgevoelens. Haar enigste
boetie sterf terwyl sý na hom moes kyk. Sy probeer vergifnis verdien
deur haar werk in haar pa se materiaal-besigheid en deur vir die gesin
te sorg. Ná nog ’n tragedie is Elianna in beheer van die besigheid en
haar talent as ontwerper bring groot sukses, maar nooit die vrede
waarna sy hunker nie. Wanneer haar wêreld aan skerwe spat, verbreek sy
haar verlowing aan die enigste man wat sy ooit sal liefhê. Dan kom die
hartverskeurende siekte wat haar isoleer en alles wat sy oorgehad het
van haar af wegvat.
In Tessa Afshar se ’n Nuwe môre lyk dit vir Elianna of daar geen einde
aan haar lyding is nie. Dan hoor sy van die Man wat deur blote
aanraking genesing kan bring. Is dit moontlik vir een Man om ná soveel
jare van lyding en teleurstelling die wonde van die liggaam én die siel
te genees?

Women and Politics in the Third World provides a feminist analytical perspective on the forms of resistance, organisation and negotiation by women in Third World states, including regions as diverse as Latin America and the Middle East.
During the past decade, feminism and women's studies have been forced to acknowledge the diversities of women's experiences, as well as the patriarchal oppression that they share. The emphasis on difference has shattered the illusion of homogeneity and sisterhood which previously characterized white, middle-class Westernized feminist politics and analysis.; There is relatively little work which concentrates on the inter-relationships of race and gender in general, and the consequences of racism, for women of different backgrounds, in particular. "The Dynamics of Race and Gender" aims to contribute to the debate and understanding in this area. Emphasis has been given to age, class, disability, race and sexuality. The contributors to this volume are from different religious, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, giving a balanced and broad ranging perspective on this important social question.; Organized around three main themes, which are; issues of theory and method, questions of identity, racism and sexism at work, the chapters of this book indicate how the processes of race and gender interrelate in highly complex and contradictory ways. Demonstrating the benefits to be gained from analysing the interplay of various axes of differentiation in specific empirical and historical locations, and in doing so, under- scoring the point that diversity among women cannot be seen as a static phenomenon. eBook available with sample pages: 020348214X
Ruth was a vulnerable, widowed woman starting over in a foreign land.
While Naomi was returning to community, Ruth was setting herself up to
be the odd one out her whole life. What gave her the strength to do it?
Could it be that she sensed all along that her journey away from Moab
was a journey toward home?
The story of Ruth is a remarkable tale of bravery, calling, and God’s
provision, and it will come to life in new ways as you dig deep in this
6-week Bible study. Tessa Afshar, author of award-winning biblical and
historical fiction, teaches you how to study the text, discern meaning,
pray through it, and live it out. She’ll show you how to draw on the
same strength and courage that Ruth did and accept God’s invitation to
new beginnings in your own life.
This Bible study also includes optional teaching videos that can be
purchased separately to enrich your study.
This work provides a feminist analytical perspective on the
specific forms of resistance, organization and negotiation by women
in Third World States. Using case studies, it focuses on difference
as a theoretical basis for investigating feminine political
activism. Arguing that Western analysts have attributed weakness to
terms such as motherhood, marriage and domesticity as choices made
by non-western women, it shows that such strategies are used by
women to pursue particular goals such as seeking resources, welfare
or freedom from oppression for their children. These strategies,
the book suggests, should not be classified as unimportant or
temporary and can be highly effective even within such discourses
as Islamic fundamentalism. The contributors to this volume have
embarked on a path which higlights differing political approaches
in regions as diverse as Latin America, South-East Asia, China and
the Middle East. It aims to be of use to students wishing to
understand the diversities and complexities of women's political
participation in these areas.

This book argues that it is the fluidity of women's identities that
enables them to bridge the gender divides and roles ascribed to
them by society and culture with those that they have chosen for
themselves whilst retaining a sense of their self.

The authors in this volume address the question 'What is
empowerment?' Is it power over resources? Is it the ability to
create 'effective demand'? Is it about the ability to make choices?
Is it about access to resources and how they are controlled,
politically, economically, by NGOs, by political parties, by the
state? Do political parties facilitate or do they channel energies
away from empowerment? They evaluate how in different circumstances
different political agents have been seen as provider of resources.
