Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
More and more women are finding themselves alone in their Christian walk because of life's circumstances—a lack of support from people in her home, work, or church; being left out of the things she used to be included in; being misunderstood and unable to explain. Cindi McMenamin, author of Drama Free, offers personal encouragement and practical, biblical steps for gaining strength in times of isolation and becoming resilient to, not resentful toward, loneliness. Cindi's audience for Women Who Walk Alone is a broad one—single women, women parenting alone, women alone as the spiritual head of their household, women facing challenging life situations, women without close friendships. And her message is timely—every woman feels alone at some point in her life, yet every woman needs someone to grow alongside her and to encourage her in her walk with the Lord. When Women Walk Alone encourages readers to see alone times as unique opportunities for personal and spiritual growth. Women will discover practical ways to... find support from other women who feel alone in their lives celebrate their own uniqueness and grow through the lonely times gain strength for the challenges of parenting alone funnel "loneliness in prayer" into "a new power in prayer alone with God" rely on the Lord and others to overcome personal trials Using examples of biblical and contemporary women who emerged from a time of loneliness stronger and more complete, Cindi also looks at the example of Jesus and the many times He was alone or sought out some "alone time" to draw strength from His Father.

Live Alone and Like It
Author: Marjorie Hillis
Publisher: 5 Spot
ISBN: 0446571172
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
In this witty, engaging guide, a renowned Vogue editor takes readers through the fundamentals of living alone by showing them how to create a welcoming environment and cultivate home-friendly hobbies, "for no woman can accept an invitation every night without coming to grief." "Whether you view your one-woman ménage as Doom or Adventure, you need a plan, if you are going to make the best of it." Thus begins Marjorie Hillis' archly funny, gently prescriptive manifesto for single women. Though it was 1936 when the Vogue editor first shared her wisdom with her fellow singletons, the tome has been passed lovingly through the generations, and is even more apt today than when it was first published. Hillis, a true bon vivant, was sick and tired of hearing single women carping about their living arrangements and lonely lives; this book is her invaluable wake-up call for single women to take control and enjoy their circumstances. With engaging chapter titles like "A Lady and Her Liquor" and "The Pleasures of a Single Bed," along with a new preface by author Laurie Graff (You Have to Kiss A Lot of Frogs), Live Alone and Like It is sure to appeal to live-aloners—and those considering taking the plunge.

A Woman Alone

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Along with six other wagons the Jackson family had been on the trail for weeks and grueling weeks now. The little house back in Decatur had been sold to Jacob’s sister and her husband. There would be no turning back. The wind swept prairie was behind them now and the Rocky Mountains lay ahead. Surely after a solid meal and a good night’s rest her husband would get most of his strength back. …. Late that afternoon most of those on the wagon train stood around a freshly dug grave. Two doves cooed from a nearby tree. The gray clouds that hovered low all morning and earlier that afternoon were now black and rain came down in big fat drops. Ben Handover read the twenty-third psalms from his Bible and then said a few kind words about his friend Jacob Jackson. He talked about what a fair man Jacob had been as well as a hard worker. Then there was only the sound of rain splashing off of umbrellas for a full minute before a woman’s beautiful voice alone sang the fi rst verse of ‘Amazing Grace’ and then the others joined in. The day seemed like a nightmare to Lydia. Between tears she tried to comfort Jacobs’s two children. … With objections from the majority of their fellow travelers Lydia and the children were allowed to continue on with the wagon train. At the end of the trail Lydia and the children set up a comfortable home in the small log cabin build on the land that Jacob had registered to homestead on. He had staked the land out on his previous trip to the Oregon territory. She knew before they started the new adventure that life in the wilds was going to be harsh; but this wasn’t the way it was supposed go. This was Jacob’s dream.

“Liaozhai” 聊斋志异; Strange Tales from a Chinese Lonely Studio (Complete Translation)
Author: Pu Songlin
Publisher: DeepLogic
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 1067
Book Description
Liaozhai Zhiyi (Liaozhai; Chinese: 聊齋, or 聊齋誌異), called in English Strange Tales from a Chinese Lonely Studio is a collection of Classical Chinese stories by Pu Songling comprising close to five hundred "marvel tales" in the zhiguai and chuanqi styles which serve to implicitly criticise societal issues then. Dating back to the Qing dynasty, its earliest publication date is given as 1740. Since then, many of the critically lauded stories have been adapted for other media such as film and television. The main characters of this book apparently are ghosts, foxes, immortals and demons, but the author focused on the everyday life of commoners. He used the supernatural and the unexplainable to illustrate his ideas of society and government. He criticized the corruption and injustice in society and sympathized with the poor. The book is complete translation of all volumes (Vol. 1 to 12) of Liaozhai.

Rosenfeld argues that farm women have rarely been identified as productive farm workers and that they continue to be seen only as mothers and homemakers. She shows that in addition to performing a wide range of farm work, these women in fact help ensure the farm's economic survival by contributing wages from outside employment. She raises questions about government policy and stresses the need for study in both industrialized and development societies. A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
