Book Description
A large part of "the girl experience" is reading and believing in fairytales. While dreams definitely do come true, God- in His infinite wisdom- has a unique one for each of us. For some, marriage is part of the happy ending. For others, it is not. Yet most girls are groomed from an early age to go to great lengths seeking the acceptance and attention of their male counterparts. Pigs Don't Wear Pearls reminds its readers in general, and girls in particular, that they are God's priceless possessions. A catalyst for confidence, this book creates the opportunity for parents, guardians, and teachers to converse with their children about how precious they are.

Book Description
In her memoir, Strand of Pearls, author Deborah Livingston recounts her journey from childhood abuse, frequent tragedy, and adult addiction to a spiritual transformation that brought her an inner peace and joy available to us all. Deborah was the first of three children born to a Canadian father and a New England motherparents who were worlds apart in their own upbringings and views of the world. From two to sixteen, when she was finally able to break free, Deborah suffered abuse at the hands of her father. Her freedom from that abuse took her to abuse at the hands of others and to a tragic accident that cost the life of a friend. Her misfortunes early in life and her inability to see them as the pearls they actually were led to serious addiction in her early forties. And yet this addiction saved her life, preparing her for the inner transformation she would experience. In Strand of Pearls, Livingston invites the reader into the most painful, raw moments of her past so that the light of the present might shine brighteras an invitation to others to embrace hope, faith, and gratitude in their lives.

Book Description
Ideals and Ideologies: A Reader is a comprehensive compilation of classic and contemporary readings representing all of the major "isms." It offers students a generous sampling of key thinkers in different ideological traditions and places them in their historical and political contexts. Used on its own or with Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal, the anthology accounts for the different ways people use ideology and conveys the continuing importance of ideas in politics. New to this 11th Edition: Alexander Keyssar, "Voter Suppression, Then and Now" (a distinguished historian traces the tawdry history of attempts, successful and unsuccessful, to disenfranchise voters). Andrew Sullivan, "Democracies End When They Become Too Democratic" (an eminent conservative commentator and author argues that, under certain circumstances, democracies pose a danger to their very own existence). Timothy Egan, "The Dumbed Down Democracy" (a prominent author and columnist argues that American democracy has been "dumbed down" due, in large part, to the absence of civic education in the public school curriculum). Max Boot and David Brooks, "Conservatives Assess Trump" (two leading contemporary conservatives ponder the fundamental ideological problems the current president poses for the movement, and consider the ways in which Donald Trump is—and isn’t—a true conservative). Eugene V. Debs, "Speech to the Conference for Progressive Political Action" (an early 20th-century American socialist and former presidential candidate articulates his vision for a new workers’ party that would challenge capitalism in the United States). Robert Kagan, "This is How Fascism Comes to America" (a prominent neoconservative historian detects disturbing parallels between the rise of Donald Trump and that of various interwar fascists). Erik Loomis, "A New Chapter in the Black Liberation Movement" (an American historian makes the case for Black Liberation with a particularly compelling case study: how prisoners (mainly black) work essentially as slaves in both public and for-profit prisons in the United States). Black Lives Matter, "A Vision for Black Lives: Demands for Black Power, Freedom & Justice" (leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement set forth their basic ideological beliefs and public policy prescriptions). Josephine Livingstone, "The Task Ahead for Feminism" (the author argues that much remains to be done after the #MeToo movement).

Book Description
Before they can walk, boys are taught to stand tall, be strong and not cry. Little wonder why later as men, some find it difficult to kneel (pray), show emotion, and share true intimacy. They aren't taught how to be a covering, but how to conquer. The world goes on to define manhood by the amount of physical strength, money and women a man has. What a man thinks of himself is his first reputation and has a lot to do with what others will think. How important it is then, if we want to improve the measure of men, that we give boys better tools by which to gauge themselves. Beware of Bacon Bits is such a tool. During a walk with his dad, Bo Jr. discovers that there is strength in weakness, that a life of significance is often one of sacrifice, and that we must eventually put away childish things.
