For fans of Dear Girl and Guess How Much I Love You, this picture book celebrates the joys of early childhood and all the first-time experiences that are exciting for parents and children, including beach days, befriending the family dog, story time on the couch, and so much more! This book feels like a giant hug and makes the ideal gift for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, graduation, and baby showers! The sweet lyrical text reminds readers that their parents’ love will always stay with them, no matter where they are. When you were new, there were things you didn’t know. The magic of being new is experiencing the world for the first time, learning that cuddles smell different at the beach—like coconut, salt, and sand—or realizing it’s hard to pick raspberries without eating at least one. Get swept up in the magic and wonder of seeing the world through the eyes of a child, and treasure the perfect, golden moments you share together. Jennifer Harris’s lyrical and achingly precise text and Lenny Wen’s heartwarming illustrations celebrate that special love and connection between you and your new one.

In a society uprooted by two world wars, industrialization, and dehumanizing technology, a revolutionary farmer turns to poetry to reconnect his people to the land and one another. A farmer, poet, activist, pastor, and mystic, Britts (1917-1949) has been called a British Wendell Berry. His story is no romantic agrarian elegy, but a life lived in the thick of history. As his country plunged headlong into World War II, he joined an international pacifist community, the Bruderhof, and was soon forced to leave Europe for South America. Amidst these great upheavals, his response - to root himself in faith, to dedicate himself to building community, to restore the land he farmed, and to use his gift with words to turn people from their madness - speaks forcefully into our time. In an age still wracked by racism, nationalism, materialism, and ecological devastation, the life he chose and the poetry he composed remain a prophetic challenge.

2015. Stella, a professor and historian, comes to the beautiful and ancient city of Bonn, Germany, for a World Heritage conference. With things at home tearing at the seams, she is determined to pretend all is well. At least, until she is assaulted over a trivial matter by another delegate, Professor Giovanni Costa. Bewildered, Stella descends into a shadowy observer, slowly becoming an obsessed stalker. When she meets the elderly Hildegard on a park bench by the River Rhine she is drawn into her wartime story, little seeing the similarities to her own situation. 1941. Hildegard, new wife to Kurt and student of architecture, surrenders to the inevitable; she needs a job for them to pay their rent. Interviewing for a hotel post, she does not realise her life now is off course, running on a track destined to collide with the sinister Fuhrer himself. Although repulsed, she must play along with the Fatherland ideals—to show anything but enthusiasm would not only leave her without a job but probably worse circumstances. She is thrust into the role of maid to Hitler in the infamous room 106 in a hotel he visited more than 70 times. She is no longer able to hide away from reality in her studies. Moving forward is the only option, no matter how dark it gets. With the story switching between 2015 and 1941, Stella and Hildegard face questions of survival, identity, love and meaning as they juggle moral ambiguities in a world of elusive justice.

The Oprah Phenomenon (Paperback, Revised edition): Jennifer Harris, Elwood Watson The Oprah Phenomenon (Paperback, Revised edition)
Jennifer Harris, Elwood Watson
R910 Discovery Miles 9 100 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Her image is iconic: Oprah Winfrey has built an empire on her ability to connect with and inspire her audience. No longer just a name, "Oprah" has become a brand representing the talk show host's unique style of self-actualizing individualism. The cultural and economic power wielded by Winfrey merits critical evaluation. The contributors to The Oprah Phenomenon examine the origins of her public image and its substantial influence on politics, entertainment, and popular opinion. Contributors address praise from her many supporters and weigh criticisms from her detractors. Winfrey's ability to create a feeling of intimacy with her audience has long been cited as one of the foundations of her popularity. She has repeatedly made national headlines by engaging and informing her audience with respect to her personal relationships to race, gender, feminism, and New Age culture. The Oprah Phenomenon explores these relationships in detail.

At the root of Winfrey's message to her vast audience is her assertion that anyone can be a success regardless of background or upbringing. The contributors scrutinize this message: What does this success entail? Is the motivation behind self-actualization, in fact, merely the hope of replicating Winfrey's purchasing power? Is it just a prescription to buy the products she recommends and heed the advice of people she admires, or is it a lifestyle change of meaningful spiritual benefit? The Oprah Phenomenon asks these and many other difficult questions to promote a greater understanding of Winfrey's influence on the American consciousness.

The Coquette and The Boarding School (Paperback, Critical edition): Hannah Webster Foster The Coquette and The Boarding School (Paperback, Critical edition)

R579 Discovery Miles 5 790 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Published anonymously in 1797, Hannah Webster Foster's The Coquette grabbed American interest with its ripped-from-the-headlines story of sex and scandal. A steady best seller for decades, the seduction novel was passed down through generations; indeed, its heroine became better known than the book's author. A year later, Foster's lesser-known follow-up, The Boarding School, provided an equally compelling portrait of women at the turn of the nineteenth century in the same epistolary form. Both novels can now be read in conversation with each other in this new Norton Critical Edition based on the respective first edition texts; the author's original spelling, punctuation, and usage are retained while obvious printer's errors are corrected. The texts are joined with a detailed introduction to Foster's legacy and Elizabeth Whitman's life along with explanatory annotations and a note on the text. "Sources and Contexts" unearths a wealth of original material about the environment the works were produced in and the real-life people who inspired them. The three sections, "On Coquetry," "The Life and Death of Elizabeth Whitman," and "The Nineteenth-Century Legacy," include new and corrected transcriptions of Whitman's letters to Ruth and Joel Barlow, an inventory of items found at Whitman's room at her death, popular representations of Elizabeth Whitman, and unauthorized sequels to The Coquette. Seven illustrations, including three of Eliza Wharton, are included to enrich the reading experience. "Criticism" brings together nine diverse contemporary interpretations. Contributors include Carroll Smith-Rosenberg, Claire C. Pettengill, Julia A. Stern, Gillian Brown, Jeffrey H. Richards, and Gwendolyn Audrey Foster, among others. Chronologies of the lives of Hannah Webster Foster and Elizabeth Whitman are included along with a Selected Bibliography.

For many women, the call to ministry is particularly challenging. Those of us raised in the Baptist tradition were often taught that God simply doesn't call women-but only men-to the ministry. And yet, the Spirit continues blowing where she will, dancing around both women and men, inviting all to join in service. What is a woman to do when she hears that call? How is she to remain faithful to what she was taught, while remaining faithful to the voice of God? This book is an attempt to chronicle the journey of calling. In its pages, you will find the stories of twenty-three Baptist women who heard God's call. These women are from a variety of backgrounds, spanning Baptist life. You will find Southern Baptists, Cooperative Baptists, American Baptists, Missionary Baptists, Alliance of Baptists, and others. There are women who are committed to being life-long Baptists. There are women who find their identity in the Baptist church, but have found places of service among the Disciples of Christ, United Methodists, and Mennonites. There are women who are not sure if they will be able to remain Baptist.

Thirty-nine year old Ellie Bircham wakes up one Friday morning, sliding face-first into the worst day of her life. She has a hangover. Her kids and her cat all hate her. Her government job is being transferred from Ottawa to Belleville, three hours away. She doesn't have enough money to pay all the bills this month. Her eighteen-year-old daughter, Kellie, is hiding secrets and has taken to staying out all night. Her middle child, Nicholas, is becoming more and more withdrawn. Her intrusive mother is trying to run her life. Her landlord is throwing them all out. And she hasn't been on a date since the weekend her youngest child, Morgana, was conceived. On the advice of one of her co-workers, Ellie signs up for a night school course, based on the powerful Emotional SMARTS(r) system, developed by Dr. June Donaldson in Calgary. She has reviewed the manuscript and has given written permission for her work to be referenced in this way. Using this powerful system, Ellie learns to identify her own feelings, deal more constructively with conflict, stand up for herself without bullying others, talk so her kids will hear her, solve problems and make decisions. Derek Munro, another student in the class, manages to get Ellie out for her first date in twelve years, and then surmounts many difficulties before they make it to the second date. Ellie starts to find she has options. Her boss offers her an important and challenging place in a start-up that she and her partner want to launch. Derek wants her as his partner at his plant nursery, in more than one way. She finds the family a new home, gets her kids to start talking to her and learns to deal with her mother. When Derek finally pops the question, Ellie will be ready to answer, "Yes"

When Roland Beaudreaux is found murdered in the small rustic community of Prairie, Louisiana, his daughter Ginny is the chief suspect. As the Beaudreaux family secrets of abuse, betrayal and lies are then slowly revealed, it becomes a wonder she didn't kill him earlier.
Until the true identity of the murderer surfaces.
The first day Roland hits Ginny's mother is the day she announces she is pregnant with Ginny.
Roland's abuse continues for seven years, and he returns home one day from his railroad job with a new lover and her daughter. Horrified they've moved right into her home, Ginny's mother comes down with pneumonia as she faces the stress of living in the small shack with her husband, his lover, her daughter and her own daughter. Within a few days she is dead.
Ginny's only relief from her abusive life becomes her clandestine visits to Mamee, a black woman in the nearby town of Iberville. Forbidden by her father to associate with the "coloreds," Ginny begins to live a double life in Iberville every day after school. Mamee's strength and her continued nurturing eventually give Ginny the courage to face the demons inside her as well as the man she has called father.
The loaded gun fires twice that fateful night.
Roland Beaudreaux survives, but days later his dead body is found in the three room shack that has imprisoned Ginny for so many years.
