Where is it within ourselves that we find honesty and truth? A place where the playing field is leveled from disingenuous facades of truth and loyalty. The place where we lay naked, bare who we truly are as individuals. it is our emotions, those mixtures of complex feelings that are difficult to grasp and contain when we are truly touched by some person or event. What is the origin that causes the explosive or suppression of our inner nature of passion? Screaming Whispers is a collection of poems that I have written that express the feelings and situations of women that I have met in my life. My emotions were touched by some of the lives of women that I have known. Some of the lives I write about have been so gut wrenching and inspiring, that pen to paper was my way of expressing my feelings. These poems touch on so many levels of emotions: encouragement, failure, heroism, rape, love, domestic violence, joy, infidelity, appreciation, humor and more. It is with great sincerity that this author seeks to touch every reader that connects personally with the poems read. Each and every poem contained within this book is true and has a face. I hope that everyone can understand why I was touched to write these poems. I also hope that no one has experience all of them.

Ever wondered what God is up to in your story? Me too. I write my stories to give you hope that there is more. There is a greater story. There is someone who sees us and knows our name. And believe it or not, he who knows us best, loves us most, and is inviting us into his dance. As you read parts of my journey, I hope you see God’s threads of grace and redemption in your own. And who knows, maybe you will find yourself on the dance floor as well.

Abortion remains legal in the US, but access has been slowly eroded since prohibition was ruled unconstitutional nearly fifty years ago. Simultaneously abortion remains culturally stigmatised – it is kept secret and presumed shameful. But feminist activists are working to increase access and challenge this stigma. Numerous organisations and campaigns are challenging abortion stigma using the internet and social media and intersectional feminist sensibilities. From A Whisper to a Shout takes a closer look at four of these organisations – #ShoutYourAbortion, Lady Parts Justice, #WeTestify, and The Abortion Diary – and how they are integrating feminist tactics, social media, and political strategies to challenge abortion stigma and promote abortion access.

Emphasizing a persons relationship with God, Whispers in the Wind, Shouts in the Storm offers a collection of poems that communicates a message of hope and inspiration that God is always present for his children. Author Beth Fore offers whispers in the wind poems as prayers of praise, thanksgiving, reflection, and appreciation of God in nature and in relationships, and she explores themes of Jesus and the Holy Spirit and mans relationship to them. She also shares shouts in the storm poems as a result of the difficulties and challenges in life. Many of the selections are paired with relevant scripture to encourage further Bible study. In Whispers in the Wind, Shouts in the Storm Fore conveys the message that Christians have a God who is creative, powerful, and faithful. He desires a relationship with his children, and we have the privilege and honor to worship him, honor him, and pray to him at any time and under any circumstance.

Devices. Jolie’s got tons of them. Coping mechanisms that ensure she’s not falling victim to the mental illness that’s taken hold of both her brother and father. Helping the homeless gives Jolie much needed consistency. But when a stranger struts into her Jersey Shore creperie, writing cryptic songs on napkins and then disappearing, her world becomes anything but routine. Reed can play the soul out of his saxophone, but he’s hiding something. Why else would he reveal so little about himself, or plan one secluded, albeit eccentric, date after another? And what’s in that backpack he carries everywhere? Then again, with her distressed brother missing, an estranged mother returning home, and a feisty grandmother acting weirder than usual, Jolie can’t decipher whether her suspicions are valid or dangerous delusions. When inexplicable slashings of the homeless occur in her otherwise safe town, Jolie’s devices begin to fail.

A harrowing account of the Armenian Genocide documented through the stories of those who managed to survive and descendants who refuse to forget The grandchild of Armenians who escaped widespread massacres during the Ottoman Empire a century ago, Varujan Vosganian grew up in Romania hearing firsthand accounts of those who had witnessed horrific killings, burned villages, and massive deportations. In this moving chronicle of the Armenian people's almost unimaginable tragedy, the author transforms true events into a work of fiction firmly grounded in survivor testimonies and historical documentation. Across Syrian desert refugee camps, Russian tundra, and Romanian villages, the book chronicles individual lives destroyed by ideological and authoritarian oppression. But this novel tells an even wider human story. Evocative of all the great sufferings that afflicted the twentieth century--world wars, concentration camps, common graves, statelessness, and others--this book belongs to all peoples whose voices have been lost. Hailed for its documentary value and sensitive authenticity, Vosganian's work has become an international phenomenon.

Freedom Faith is the first full-length critical study of Rev. Dr. Prathia Laura Ann Hall (1940–2002), an undersung leader in both the civil rights movement and African American theology. Freedom faith was the central concept of Hall’s theology: the belief that God created humans to be free and assists and equips those who work for freedom. Hall rooted her work simultaneously in social justice, Christian practice, and womanist thought. Courtney Pace examines Hall’s life and philosophy, particularly through the lens of her civil rights activism, her teaching career, and her ministry as a womanist preacher. Moving along the trajectory of Hall’s life and civic service, Freedom Faith focuses on her intellectual and theological development and her radiating influence on such figures as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Marian Wright Edelman, and the early generations of womanist scholars. Hall was one of the first women ordained in the American Baptist Churches, USA, was the pastor of Mt. Sharon Baptist Church in Philadelphia, and in later life joined the faculty at the Boston University School of Theology as the Martin Luther King Chair in Social Ethics. In activism and ministry, Hall was a pioneer, fusing womanist thought with Christian ethics and visions of social justice.
