Book Description
It Feels Good to Be Free—with Freedom Jesus is the only one that can change your life permanently if that is what you want. The choice is yours. I chose Jesus, and I am not that same old person that I was. The Bible says, “Choose you this day who you are going to serve” (Josh. 24:15). That day came for me, and I took it, and I have never been the same. `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` It Started with Men but Ended with the Man is a book about the Healer, and His name is Jesus. `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Call on Him and He will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you know nothing about. He said that in His Word in Jeremiah 33:3. No one should have to go through what I went through.

Book Description
The National Book Critics Circle Award–winning author delivers a collection of essays that serve as the perfect “antidote to mansplaining” (The Stranger). In her comic, scathing essay “Men Explain Things to Me,” Rebecca Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don’t, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters. She ends on a serious note— because the ultimate problem is the silencing of women who have something to say, including those saying things like, “He’s trying to kill me!” This book features that now-classic essay with six perfect complements, including an examination of the great feminist writer Virginia Woolf’s embrace of mystery, of not knowing, of doubt and ambiguity, a highly original inquiry into marriage equality, and a terrifying survey of the scope of contemporary violence against women. “In this series of personal but unsentimental essays, Solnit gives succinct shorthand to a familiar female experience that before had gone unarticulated, perhaps even unrecognized.” —The New York Times “Essential feminist reading.” —The New Republic “This slim book hums with power and wit.” —Boston Globe “Solnit tackles big themes of gender and power in these accessible essays. Honest and full of wit, this is an integral read that furthers the conversation on feminism and contemporary society.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Essential.” —Marketplace “Feminist, frequently funny, unflinchingly honest and often scathing in its conclusions.” —Salon

Book Description
Ever since my fortunate—or shall I say unfortunate?—connection with that famous case of murder in Gramercy Park, I have had it intimated to me by many of my friends—and by some who were not my friends—that no woman who had met with such success as myself in detective work would ever be satisfied with a single display of her powers, and that sooner or later I would find myself again at work upon some other case of striking peculiarities. As vanity has never been my foible, and as, moreover, I never have forsaken and never am likely to forsake the plain path marked out for my sex, at any other call than that of duty, I invariably responded to these insinuations by an affable but incredulous smile, striving to excuse the presumption of my friends by remembering their ignorance of my nature and the very excellent reasons I had for my one notable interference in the police affairs of New York City. Besides, though I appeared to be resting quietly, if not in entire contentment, on my laurels, I was not so utterly removed from the old atmosphere of crime and its detection as the world in general considered me to be. Mr. Gryce still visited me; not on business, of course, but as a friend, for whom I had some regard; and naturally our conversation was not always confined to the weather or even to city politics, provocative as the latter subject is of wholesome controversy.

Book Description
Essential reading for our times, as women are pulling together to demand their rights— A landmark portrait of women, men, and power in a transformed world. “Anchored by data and aromatized by anecdotes, [Rosin] concludes that women are gaining the upper hand." –The Washington Post Men have been the dominant sex since, well, the dawn of mankind. But Hanna Rosin was the first to notice that this long-held truth is, astonishingly, no longer true. Today, by almost every measure, women are no longer gaining on men: They have pulled decisively ahead. And “the end of men”—the title of Rosin’s Atlantic cover story on the subject—has entered the lexicon as dramatically as Betty Friedan’s “feminine mystique,” Simone de Beauvoir’s “second sex,” Susan Faludi’s “backlash,” and Naomi Wolf’s “beauty myth” once did. In this landmark book, Rosin reveals how our current state of affairs is radically shifting the power dynamics between men and women at every level of society, with profound implications for marriage, sex, children, work, and more. With wide-ranging curiosity and insight unhampered by assumptions or ideology, Rosin shows how the radically different ways men and women today earn, learn, spend, couple up—even kill—has turned the big picture upside down. And in The End of Men she helps us see how, regardless of gender, we can adapt to the new reality and channel it for a better future.

Book Description
Ford Madox Ford's monumental work, The Parade's End Tetralogy, consists of four novels - Some Do Not, No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up, and Last Post - which collectively offer a profound exploration of love, war, and societal change during World War I. Ford's writing style is characterized by its intricate prose, psychological depth, and innovative narrative techniques, such as fragmented chronology and shifting perspectives, a reflection of the modernist movement of the time. Set against the backdrop of the war-torn Europe, the Tetralogy delves into the complex inner lives of its characters, grappling with themes of loyalty, morality, and the impact of historical events on personal relationships. The work stands as a significant contribution to English literature, showcasing Ford's masterful storytelling and keen insight into human nature. Ford Madox Ford's own experiences as a soldier during WWI and his disillusionment with the war likely inspired the creation of this epic literary work. The Parade's End Tetralogy is a must-read for anyone interested in intricate character studies, historical fiction, and the lasting effects of war on individuals and society.
