Download or read book Making Chastity Sexy written by Christine J. Gardner and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-07-28 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though they are immersed in sex-saturated society, millions of teens are pledging to remain virgins until their wedding night. How are evangelical Christians persuading young people to wait until marriage? Christine J. Gardner looks closely at the language of the chastity movement and discovers a savvy campaign that uses sex to "sell" abstinence. Drawing from interviews with evangelical leaders and teenagers, she examines the strategy to shift from a negative "just say no" approach to a positive one: "just say yes" to great sex within marriage. Making Chastity Sexy sheds new light on an abstinence campaign that has successfully recast a traditionally feminist idea—"my body, my choice"—into a powerful message, but one that Gardner suggests may ultimately reduce evangelicalism’s transformative power. Focusing on the United States, her study also includes a comparative dimension by examining the export of this evangelical agenda to sub-Saharan Africa.

Download or read book Trouble with Toads written by Peter L. Ward and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bigotry, selfishness, and lust for position and power thrive in a sleepy twenty-first-century rural English village. The quietude of the surrounding rolling hills and woodlands is not all it seems. Self-appointed busybodies from the upper ranks of the community take it upon themselves to direct the lives of others. But they are amateurs at the game. At the same time, foreign investors move in to exploit mineral wealth potential that lies buried not too deeply in the strata beneath the quaint cottages and old church. The whole area of East Sussex is ripe for gas development. Local democracy is abolished on a go it alone whim of the new right-wing British government. Each community must now earn its own keep. The village of Denbridgehurst swiftly evolves into a place of fear and intimidation. Four elderly power women take over and connive with Russian oligarchs keen to exploit the riches underground. Meanwhile, the national government threatens to run a new motorway past the village, taking out the fourteenth-century church. Enormous opposition is formed and led by the women. Conservation organizations are called in to scour the area for rare or endangered species. These could hold up the planners. The Russians have other ideas. Their true intent is to build a hidden Hadron Collider beneath the village.

Download or read book The Hired Girl written by Laura Amy Schlitz and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2016 Scott O’Dell Award for Historical Fiction A 2016 Association of Jewish Libraries Sydney Taylor Award Winner Winner of the 2016 National Jewish Book Award for Children’s and Young Adult Literature Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz brings her delicious wit and keen eye to early twentieth-century America in a moving yet comedic tour de force. Fourteen-year-old Joan Skraggs, just like the heroines in her beloved novels, yearns for real life and true love. But what hope is there for adventure, beauty, or art on a hardscrabble farm in Pennsylvania where the work never ends? Over the summer of 1911, Joan pours her heart out into her diary as she seeks a new, better life for herself—because maybe, just maybe, a hired girl cleaning and cooking for six dollars a week can become what a farm girl could only dream of—a woman with a future. Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz relates Joan’s journey from the muck of the chicken coop to the comforts of a society household in Baltimore (Electricity! Carpet sweepers! Sending out the laundry!), taking readers on an exploration of feminism and housework; religion and literature; love and loyalty; cats, hats, and bunions.

Download or read book Storegga Tavern written by Victoria Exner and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The realm of Northland, somewhere between the nine ancient worlds and still full of magic, is difficult to reach, but for those who really want to travel so far, there might be a way. After Ragnarok, there was the rebirth of the next world of Midgard/Earth. In a great slide, Storegga, a piece of the first world, Northland, slid into the space between the nine ancient worlds. Northland is a bridge to all nine worlds of Yggdrasil Circle, and the Northlanders, who possess many odd skills, magic, strange knowledge, and hidden talents, have casual contacts with the old world. The ancient law of Northland is its essence. There is also an old contract and oath of nonintervention in Midgard. Not keeping this oath might destroy all there is. However, sometimes it is difficult to keep it. The time changes, and the circle of the nine ancient worlds will exist only in the dreams and longings. Power and knowledge are always dangerous as the Mage of Storegga says when standing on the Storegga Cliff high above the vortex of Maelstrom and looking over the Grey Ocean of Northland. What you want to know now you might not want to know tomorrow.
