Hired Daughters examines a fading tradition of domestic service in which rural girls familiar to ordinary Moroccan families were placed in their homes until marriage. In this tradition of "bringing up," the girls are considered "daughters of the house," and part of their role in the family is to help with the housework. Gradually, this tradition is transforming into one in which workers unfamiliar to their host families are paid a wage and may not stay long, but where the Islamic ethics of charity, religious reward, and gratitude still inform expectations on both sides. Mary Montgomery examines why Moroccans so often talk about their domestic workers as daughters, what this means for workers and employers, and how this is changing in contemporary Morocco. Prioritizing the experiences and perspectives of these women, Montgomery charts the tension that has developed between socially embedded, loyal domestic workers who operate within narratives of kinship and obligation and women who seek greater individualization, privacy, and self-empowerment. Hired Daughters offers a nuanced understanding of a world that bridges public and private, morality and money, family and outsiders. In doing so, it provides an intimate consideration of contemporary Moroccan households as economic enterprises and sites of navigation between the traditional and the global.

Is your marriage a dream or a nightmare? Do you wake up in the morning thankful or upset because you actually woke up to the same scenario as the day before? Want to change that? Then ask the first question......what am I willing to do to change this aspect of my life. Every direction we take in our life, first takes a decision. No movement can happen unless change is being applied. My hope is that this book will take you on a journey toward that end goal. The decision is yours. I in no way have the answers to every marriage challenge and that is not what this book is about. You collect knowledge from all sources and then apply that knowledge to get results. The definition for insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I already know I am insane, so why belabor the point. So jump in and join me in the adventure I call marriage.

Le traduction de Fireseeds of Spiritual Awakening Le reveil de 1907 a Ping Yang en Coree n'est pas une anomalie. Depuis des siecles, l'Esprit de Dieu fait eclater des reveils en reponse aux prieres de son peuple. Cela fait partie de notre heritage chretien. Jusqu'a ce jour, de tels mouvements de Dieu nous propulsent vers l'accomplissement de l'Ordre missionnaire de Jesus-Christ. Lorsque ces reveils ont eclate, des villes entieres ont plie le genou et lorsqu'ils ont balaye les campus, jusqu'a la moitie de la population etudiante s'est confiee a Christ. Ce livre parle de ces reveils et de la priere qui les entourait. Il nous invite a nous preparer a un vaste mouvement de l'Esprit de Dieu: un mouvement qui peut et va se manifester si nous satisfaisons aux criteres de Dieu pour le reveil et l'eveil.
