Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christian women today are wearing masks. From an early age, we are taught that to be valuable we need to do more, to be more. To feel worthy, we learn to hide behind the masks of our accomplishments, physical appearance, intelligence, education, relationships—even our work in the church. But those masks separate us from God, from other people, and from our true selves. Thankfully, there is hope. We can remove our masks and trust Christ to see us as we really are . . . but it takes humility. To examine our hearts, motives, and past experiences requires honesty and confession. But beyond the masquerade, Christ can heal and transform our lives, freeing us from bondage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sparkling Regency Romance from a Captivating New Voice Lady Miranda Hawthorne acts every inch the lady, but inside she longs to be bold and carefree. Entering her fourth Season and approaching spinsterhood in the eyes of society, she pours her innermost feelings out not in a diary but in letters to her brother's old school friend, a duke--with no intention of ever sending these private thoughts to a man she's heard stories about but never met. Meanwhile, she also finds herself intrigued by Marlow, her brother's new valet, and although she may wish to break free of the strictures that bind her, falling in love with a servant is more of a rebellion than she planned. When Marlow accidentally discovers and mails one of the letters to her unwitting confidant, Miranda is beyond mortified. And even more shocked when the duke returns her note with one of his own that initiates a courtship-by-mail. Insecurity about her lack of suitors shifts into confusion at her growing feelings for two men--one she's never met but whose words deeply resonate with her heart, and one she has come to depend on but whose behavior is more and more suspicious. When it becomes apparent state secrets are at risk and Marlow is right in the thick of the conflict, one thing is certain: Miranda's heart is far from all that's at risk for the Hawthornes and those they love.

Within this magical realm, a prince yearning for adventure and a humble commoner longing for a better life find themselves inexplicably drawn to a mysterious event, an event that will forever alter the course of their lives. "The Enchanted Masquerade" invites you to step into a world of wonder and mystique, where hidden within the shadows of towering trees, a secret masquerade ball materializes under the moon's benevolent gaze.

Guided by fate and masked in anonymity, the prince and the commoner enter the ethereal ball, unaware that they stand but mere footsteps away from each other.

Canty became their sugar daddy, spending thousands to buy them clothes, cars, and gifts. But when the money ran out, Canty’s luck went with it—and he was soon found hacked to pieces, his body scattered across Michigan. Covering the trial for the local press, Lowell Cauffiel became enthralled by this story of double lives and double crosses.

Longing for a taste of freedom beyond her gilded cage, Elora finds herself drawn to a tantalizing proposition: a masked ball, an event that promises to whisk her away from the suffocating confines of her societal role. As she steps into the realm of anonymity, Elora transforms into an alluring stranger, liberated from the stifling expectations of her family and the watchful eyes of high society. Under the magical moonlit sky, she encounters a mysterious masked stranger equally determined to keep his true identity veiled from the world.

Join us on this mesmerizing journey as we delve into the delicate dance between duty and desire, the beauty of love's unyielding spirit, and the transformative power of the moonlit masquerade. Will Elora and her masked stranger find the strength to defy norms and seize their chance at happiness, or will they be forever bound by the constraints of society's dictates?

Download or read book Masquerade and Identities written by Efrat Tseëlon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-08-29 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masquerade, both literal and metaphorical, is now a central concept on many disciplines. This timely volume explores and revisits the role of disguise in constructing, expressing and representing marginalised identities, and in undermining easy distinctions between 'true' identity and artifice. The book is interdisciplinary in approach, spanning a diverse range of cultures and narrative voices. It provides provocative and nuanced ways of thinking about masquerade as a tool for construction, and a tool for critique. The essays interrogate such themes as: *mask and carnival *fetish fashion *stigma of illegitimacy *femininity as masquerade *lesbian masks *cross-dressing in Jewish folk theatre *the mask in seventeenth and eighteenth century London and nineteenth century France *the voice as mask.
