Imagine a classroom that explores the twinned ideas of embodied
teaching and a pedagogy of tenderness. Becky Thompson envisions
such a curriculum--and a way of being--that promises to bring about
a sea change in education. Teaching with Tenderness follows in the
tradition of bell hooks's Teaching to Transgress and Paulo Freire's
Pedagogy of the Oppressed, inviting us to draw upon contemplative
practices (yoga, meditation, free writing, mindfulness, ritual) to
keep our hearts open as we reckon with multiple injustices.
Teaching with tenderness makes room for emotion, offers a witness
for experiences people have buried, welcomes silence, breath and
movement, and sees justice as key to our survival. It allows us to
rethink our relationship to grading, office hours, desks, and
faculty meetings, sees paradox as a constant companion, moves us
beyond binaries; and praises self and community care. Tenderness
examines contemporary challenges to teaching about race, gender,
class, nationality, sexuality, religion, and other hierarchies. It
examines the ethical, emotional, political, and spiritual
challenges of teaching power-laden, charged issues and the
consequences of shifting power relations in the classroom and in
the community. Attention to current contributions in the areas of
contemplative practices, trauma theory, multiracial feminist
pedagogy, and activism enable us to envision steps toward a
pedagogy of liberation. The book encourages active engagement and
makes room for self-reflective learning, teaching, and scholarship.

A highly popular blogger helps readers overcome tedium, hurt, and
offense in their marriages by taking them on a 21-day journey to
remember daily why they first fell in love. Tremendous freedom is
found when we wake up each day without a yesterday hanging over our
heads. This book invites readers to wake up daily acting and
thinking toward their spouse as if there was no yesterday to
overcome--as if there were no hurts and no offenses, and there was
no record of right or wrong. It reminds the readers of how they
behaved when they first fell in love with their spouse, and as they
are encouraged through 21 daily challenges to do what they did back
then, they will realise that to keep love from ending sometimes you
have to go back to the beginning. This book isn't just for those
with struggling marriages. It is for anyone who wants to fall in
love again with the person that they have already chosen for life.
This work challenges the popular notion that eating disorders occur
only among white, well-to-do, heterosexual women. Based on in-depth
life history interviews with African-American, Latina, and lesbian
women, this book chronicles the effects of racism, poverty, sexism,
acculturation, and sexual abuse on women's eating patterns and
bodies. By revealing how these girls and women use eating to "make
a way outa no way", it dispels popular stereotypes of anorexia and
bulimia as symptoms of vanity and stresses the risks of
mislabelling what is often a way of coping with society's own
disorders. With its multicultural focus, this book not only brings
women of colour and lesbians into our picture of eating problems,
but also clears up many demeaning and sexist ideas about these
problems among white women. By featuring the creative ways in which
women have changed their unwanted eating patterns and regained
trust in their bodies and appetites, it also offers a message of
hope and empowerment that applies across race, class, and
sexuality.
Motherhood is often noisy and rarely silent. Learn to hear God speaking
above all the noise in these daily devotions that can be completed in
five minutes or less.
As moms know, even when there isn't noise around us, there is usually
noise within us. The constant to-do lists that spin in our minds, the
worry and wonder if we are doing a good job, and the need to stay two
steps ahead of our families when we feel two steps behind keeps our
minds routinely restless. So when quiet time with God isn't so quiet,
and alone time is nearly nonexistent, how does a modern-day momma tune
in the voice of the Lord?
With Truth Unchanging, you don't have to wait until you're alone to
talk with Jesus. Designed to be read in five minutes or less, each
powerful, hope-filled devotion will...
* refocus your heart on the Word of God
* refresh your mind with God's Truth for your life
* revive your spirit as you realize God is speaking to you personally
Truth Unchanging is not just a devotional. It's an opportunity to begin
daily conversations with Jesus, the One who has everything we need to
take on the days ahead, the One who wants to speak to you right now.
Tune in to His voice today.

This collection of ten critical essays is the first scholarly
criticism of haiku by Sonia Sanchez, who has exemplified herself
for six decades as a major figure in the Black Arts Movement, a
central activist in civil rights and women's movements, and an
internationally-known writer in American literature. Sanchez's
haiku, as an integral and prominent part of contemporary African
American poetry, have expressed not only her ideas of nature,
beauty, and harmony but also her aesthetic experience of music,
culture, and love. Aesthetically, this experience reflects a poetic
mind which has helped the poet to shape or reimage her poetic
spirit.
