Download or read book She Is Free written by Andi Andrew and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We say we're free in Christ, but many of us are still living in captivity--to fear, anger, shame, isolation, unforgiveness, and control. We're good at faking it around others, but we're exhausted by the ruse. Andi Andrew wants women to break free of their self-imposed prisons and live the lives that are rightly theirs in Christ. Sharing her own intentional journey of finding true freedom by surrendering control of her heart and life to the God who welcomed her with open arms, Andrew encourages women to give their pain and brokenness to Jesus. She shows them how to purposefully take captive the lies they have believed and replace them with God's truth. Compassionate and biblically based, She Is Free is an invitation to women to step fully into the love that sets them free.
Download or read book She Is Me written by Lori Sokol, PhD and published by She Writes Press. This book was released on 2020-08-09 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women are entering the national and international arena more than ever today, from political campaigns to corporate boards to entrepreneurship, and their success is showing. Statistics show that when women lead countries, those countries are less apt to go to war. There is also a positive correlation between the number of women on corporate boards and greater profits. Women entrepreneurs have also been shown to generate higher revenues and create more jobs than male entrepreneurs. In She Is Me, veteran journalist Lori Sokol, PhD, introduces readers to thirty-five women hailing from all walks of life who have successfully utilized qualities like compassion, empathy, introspection, and solidarity to create change and transform lives. Through interviews with women including Gloria Steinem, Billie Jean King, and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Leymah Gbowee, readers will come to understand how these traits, which have long been considered soft and weak in our patriarchal culture, are actually proving more effective in transforming lives, securing our planet, and saving the world.

Download or read book That s The Way She Is written by Archie Lee and published by Golden Brick Road Publishing House. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains material that will educate men and women on how to interact with each other through understanding and communicating. It provides insights on relationships and how to deal with the issues that come with them. It also provides a wealth of knowledge on the different types of women, and their character personalities. It discussed how men and women interact with each other through understanding and communication; the challenges faced with dating and social interaction, sustaining marriage, and platonic relationships. That’s The Way She Is provides a male centric point of view on the female character personalities types. The information revealed in this book is based on research, as well as group discussions from a crowdsource of intellectual men and women with professional, romantic and problematic relationship experiences. Obviously, many terms in this book can easily be considered chauvinistic and derogatory towards women. To be clear, I do not support the exploitation of women in any form. Nonetheless, the harsh fact remains that many in our society continue to use negative terms to describe various types of women, resulting in some women accepting them as the norm, internalizing, and ultimately identifying themselves as such. My aim will be to thoroughly explain the meaning of these terms in a technical and constructive sense. One of my goals is to encourage all men to listen carefully to the women in our lives-mothers, sisters, daughters, girlfriends, and wives. I hope that reading this book makes as profound a difference in your life, as writing it has in mine. May your relationships be successful and everlasting.

Download or read book As If She Had a Say written by Jennifer Fliss and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-15 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new story collection from Jennifer Fliss, author of The Predatory Animal Ball Who has a right to tell us how to experience our grief? How to perform—or not perform—the roles society prescribes to us based on our various points of identity? As If She Had a Say, the second story collection from Jennifer Fliss, uses an absurdist lens to showcase characters—predominantly women—plumbing their resources as they navigate misogyny, abuse, and grief. In these stories, a woman melts in the face of her husband’s cruelty; a seven-tablespoons-long woman lives inside a refrigerator and engages in an affair with the man of the house; a balloon-animal artist attends a funeral to discover he was invited as more than entertainment; and a man loses all his nouns. Fans of Karen Russell and Carmen Maria Machado will appreciate how As If She Had a Say’s inventive narratives expose inequities by taking us on imaginative romps through domesticity and patriarchal expectations. Each story functions as a magnifying glass through which we might examine our own lives and see ourselves more clearly.
Download or read book Enough as She Is written by Rachel Simmons and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Is it wrong that I wanted to underline every single word in this book? Simmons brilliantly crystallizes contemporary girls’ dilemma: the way old expectations and new imperatives collide; how a narrow, virtually unattainable vision of ‘success’ comes at the expense of self-worth and well-being. Enough As She is a must-read.” —Peggy Orenstein, author of Girls & Sex From the New York Times bestselling author of Odd Girl Out, a deeply urgent book that gives adults the tools to help girls in high school and college reject “supergirl” pressure, overcome a toxic stress culture, and become resilient adults with healthy, happy, and fulfilling lives. For many girls today, the drive to achieve is fueled by brutal self-criticism and an acute fear of failure. Though young women have never been more "successful"–outpacing boys in GPAs and college enrollment–they have also never struggled more. On the surface, girls may seem exceptional, but in reality, they are anxious and overwhelmed, feeling that, no matter how hard they try, they will never be smart enough, successful enough, pretty enough, thin enough, popular enough, or sexy enough. Rachel Simmons has been researching young women for two decades, and her research plainly shows that girl competence does not equal girl confidence—nor does it equal happiness, resilience, or self-worth. Backed by vivid case studies, Simmons warns that we have raised a generation of young women so focused on achieving that they avoid healthy risks, overthink setbacks, and suffer from imposter syndrome, believing they are frauds. As they spend more time projecting an image of effortless perfection on social media, these girls are prone to withdraw from the essential relationships that offer solace and support and bolster self-esteem. Deeply empathetic and meticulously researched, Enough As She Is offers a clear understanding of this devastating problem and provides practical parenting advice—including teaching girls self-compassion as an alternative to self-criticism, how to manage overthinking, resist the constant urge to compare themselves to peers, take healthy risks, navigate toxic elements of social media, prioritize self-care, and seek support when they need it. Enough As She Is sounds an alarm to parents and educators, arguing that young women can do more than survive adolescence. They can thrive. Enough As She Is shows us how.
