Book excerpt: Suzy Farbman was a successful author who Oprah introduced to the world as an expert on the tough challenge of saving a marriage. But, behind the scenes, Suzy's world was falling apart after an ominous diagnosis from her doctors. For years, Suzy had traveled widely as a writer for magazines including Better Homes and Gardens. Back from Betrayal, the popular memoir by Suzy that Oprah recommended, told how Suzy and her husband repaired deep problems in their own marriage. Suddenly, readers nationwide were seeking Suzy's advice about relationships. Yet, at the height of this success, Suzy privately knew that her body was failing. Facing the same tough journey that looms for millions of Americans each year, this tough journalist suddenly found herself scared. This athlete suddenly found herself weak. This big-hearted wife, mother and grandmother worried that she didn't have much time left to enjoy the relationships that defined her life. Fear. Weakness. Facing death. These are life's deepest spiritual challenges, Suzy discovered. Searching for solutions, Suzy also found that America's wealth of medical expertise is equaled by our wealth of spiritual resources. Like millions of Americans, Suzy searched for the best doctors-but she also called on her colorful circle of friends and tried everything from psychotherapy to contemplating angels, from ancient prayers to a hope in miracles. Her warm, suspenseful and often funny journey of mixed disciplines is far from a dead end! Suzy realized that God reaches out to us through all of these resources-from doctors to spiritual teachers. As a veteran writer, Suzy quickly picked up her pen and now invites readers into her journey of survival and spiritual awakening. Best of all, none of the awakenings that Suzy describes in this moving story turned out to be miracles. Instead, she argues that anyone can look for the same kinds of GodSigns that broke through into her world on a daily basis. Anyone can find hope with Suzy as their guide through one of life's biggest challenges. If you enjoyed her earlier book about marriage-Back from Betrayal: Saving a Marriage, a Family, a Life-then, you're sure to love GodSigns. If you're meeting Suzy for the first time, you won't find a better storyteller to take your hand through America's diverse wealth of medical and spiritual treasures. Other books about recovery and spiritual transformation lead readers to more blind alleys than bright doorways. Suzy specializes in finding the light in the most unlikely of places. Other books about survival are grim. But, as you turn the pages of GodSigns, you'll find yourself smiling, occasionally even laughing. You'll meet surprising people in these pages. Think of the startling truth and eye-opening adventure of Eat, Pray, Love. With Suzy Farbman's new book, you're in the hands of another great American writer.

Download or read book Among Women across Worlds written by Suzy Kim and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-15 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Among Women across Worlds, Suzy Kim excavates the transnational linkages between women of North Korea and a worldwide women's movement. Women of Asia, especially those espousing communism, are often portrayed as victims or pawns of a patriarchal Confucian state. Kim undercuts this standard analysis through detailed archival work in the international women's press, and finds that North Korean women asserted themselves in unexpected places from the late 1940s—just before the official beginning of the Korean War—to 1975, the year designated by the UN as International Women's Year. By centering North Korea and the "East," Kim defies convention to offer an entirely new genealogy of the global women's movement. Women of the Korean Democratic Women's Union (KDWU), as part of the global left women's movement led by the Women's International Democratic Federation (WIDF), insisted family and domestic issues must be part of both national and international debates, highlighting how race, nationality, sex, and class connect to form systems of colonial and capitalist exploitation. Their intersectional program claimed that there is "no peace without justice," that "the personal is the political," and that "women's rights are human rights" many decades before activists of the West embraced such agendas. Among Women across Worlds is an archaeology of forgotten movements and ideas that became the foundation for those that have come to define our era.

Download or read book Travels With Suzy Doc and Ella written by Malcolm Evans and published by New Generation Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have New Zealanders found paradise? Few would deny the magnificence of New Zealand's landscape; from its secluded bays, and numerous tranquil lakes to its glaciers and the soaring majesty of the Southern Alps, it is always surprising. As the Maori have always attested their country is more than simply what can be seen. It is also its ancestral history, legends, fauna and even its sea life. Travels with Suzy, Doc and Ella is ostensibly the account of two journeys around New Zealand. Though full of its people, their stories and vivid descriptions of its scenery, it is blended with observations that lead towards an understanding of that history and its development into a peaceable cosmopolitan nation. In parallel with these journeys are the Maori and their struggle for recognition and the route of New Zealand's constitution from initial chaos to the fifth most democratic country in the world. Out of this has also blossomed one of the most ecologically aware countries. These paths have not always been easy but this book does not shy from the truth or voiced criticism. Perhaps Kiwis have found paradise. That is for you to discover. The book is illustrated with over 90 colour photographs. All royalties from the sale of this book will go directly to support the lifesaving research of Cancer Research UK.
