The Bombshell Manifesto


Book Description

Today's Christian woman is given hundreds of different messages each day about who she should be, what she should do, and how she should look and act. What's a girl to do? To get out of overwhelm and confusion, we need to take it back to an absolute - the game-changing reality of the Gospel. Women are uniquely fitted to bring the Gospel into the world - God chose a woman to birth the Savior, and the first Gospel message was spread by a woman after Christ's resurrection. But when the female body is the target of so much misuse and so many lies, and the female identity always seems to be under critique or attack, how can we develop a clear game plan for living for God in a powerful way with the special female nature that He gave us? We need a manifesto for women who want to carry the truth of the Word into cultures around the world - and into their own homes. A simple guidebook for discovering, cultivating, and living out the expression of a Biblical woman - which has always had incredible impact in the world, and which can carry the Bombshell of the Good News in an absolutely remarkable way. We need a Bombshell Manifesto. Join Jackie Dixon as she leads you through her personal wrestle with the various female identities presented to women today, and the development of the 12 Pillars of a Biblical Bombshell - a woman dedicated to carrying the Gospel into the world in a fiercely feminine way. From the often overlooked essentials of our relationship with God, to how we see and treat our bodies, beauty, and interactions with men, to sex and money and balancing tact and truth in a winsome way in acrimonious cultures, these are the twelve foundational areas of a woman's life that, when mastered, set her up to be a powerful witness to the world of the only truth that can ever set us free. Ready, Bombshell?

Bohemian Manifesto


Book Description

Bohemianism is a way of life, a state of mind, an atmosphere. It is not a trend, its a timeless movement. It is about living beyond convention. BOHEMIAN MANIFESTO explores and joyfully celebrates the creativity, the originality, and the splendor of a lifestyle and spirit shared by free-thinking, free-living artists, poets, writers, sculptors, musicians, and intellectuals. This is the first book to distill and categorize all the ingredients of Bohemian life. In a witty and engaging style, Laren Stover examines the contents of a Bohemians closet, bathroom, and bookshelf. She explains the allure of absinthe, why it isnt wise to leave a Bohemian unattended in your home--you could return to find nude nymphs painted on your lamp shades--and how to identify what type of Bohemian you might be.

Dish and Tell


Book Description

It's easy to feel like we're alone in our struggles, but when we're able to share our stories with other women, we realize how alike we really are. There is comfort in numbers and knowing that we're not alone. -- Patricia As women, we take care of everyone else before ourselves. Now is the time to put your needs at the top of your to-do list, because if not now, when? -- Annie We realized we're not perfect, and we're pretty sure we're not alone. Besides, beauty -- and being a "bombshell" -- is more about being courageous than curvaceous. -- Mercedes Although these are our stories, we're really just the "stand-ins" for all women who struggle to juggle. This book is about things most women can totally relate to but would never discuss in public. -- Tammi Maybe having it all isn't having it all at all. We're trying to be happy with "enough," so let's lower the bar a little and start enjoying the lives we've created for ourselves. -- Sara We created our Bombshell Circle to provide unconditional support to one another. Dish & Tell highlights the power of girlfriends. Read the book and start your own circle (and make sure you have plenty of wine and chocolate!). -- Lydia

America and the World


Book Description

This American history explores the country’s role as a globalizing force from the arrival of Columbus to the 21st century. The twenty-first century may be the age of globalization, but America has been at the cutting edge of globalization since Columbus landed here five centuries ago. In America and the World, Lawrence A. Peskin and Edmund F. Wehrle explore America's evolving connections with Europe, Africa, and Asia in the three areas that historically have been indicators of global interaction: trade and industry, diplomacy and war, and the "soft" power of ideas and culture. Divided into four historical phases of globalization, this book considers how international events and trends influenced American as well as how America exerted its own influence—whether economic, cultural, or military—on the world. The authors demonstrate how technology and disease enabled Europeans to subjugate the New World, how colonial American products transformed Europe and Africa, and how post-revolutionary American ideas helped foment revolutions in Europe and elsewhere. Peskin and Wehrle also explore America’s rise to global superpower, and how this power alienated people around the world and bred dissent at home. During the civil rights movement, America borrowed much from the world as it addressed the social issues of the day. At the same time, Americans—especially African Americans—offered a global model for change as the country grappled with racial and gender inequality.







The Brutish Museums


Book Description

Walk into any European museum today and you will see the curated spoils of Empire. They sit behind plate glass: dignified, tastefully lit. Accompanying pieces of card offer a name, date and place of origin. They do not mention that the objectsare all stolen. Few artefacts embody this history of rapacious and extractive colonialism better than the Benin Bronzes - a collection of thousands of brass plaques and carved ivory tusks depicting the history of the Royal Court of the Obas of BeninCity, Nigeria. Pillaged during a British naval attack in 1897, the loot was passed on to Queen Victoria, the British Museum and countless private collections. The story of the Benin Bronzes sits at the heart of a heated debate about cultural restitution, repatriation and the decolonisation of museums. In The Brutish Museums, Dan Hicks makes a powerful case for the urgent return of such objects, as part of a wider project of addressing the outstanding debt of colonialism.
