Book Description
This contemporary tale is “an enjoyable retelling of Jane Austen’s Persuasion . . . Cleverly and thoughtfully done” (The Bookbag). Ten years ago, Anna Elliot let the love of her life go because her overbearing family disapproved of him. And ever since, she’s regretted her decision, wondering every day if she’s given up her only chance for real happiness. After Anna shattered his heart, Dr. Rick Wentworth moved on—and away—to Australia, where his work in marine conservation garnered international fame and respect. But when it comes to his feelings, he’s still an island unto himself. Fate intercedes when Rick travels home to England for a book tour, and Anna makes an attempt at some closure for herself. Then their shared memories intrude—and the love they once had seems ready to awaken once again. But with Anna’s image-obsessed family always ready to interfere, and Rick poised to ditch the limelight and return to Australia, she’s not sure she can persuade him to risk his heart again for her, in this delightful novel by the author of The Importance of Being Emma.

Book Description
Praised in recent years as a “calculating, improvisatory, essential poet” by Daisy Fried in the New York Times, Charles Bernstein is a leading voice in American literary theory. Pitch of Poetry is his irreverent guide to modernist and contemporary poetics. Subjects range across Holocaust representation, Occupy Wall Street, and the figurative nature of abstract art. Detailed overviews of formally inventive work include essays on—or “pitches” for—a set of key poets, from Gertrude Stein and Robert Creeley to John Ashbery, Barbara Guest, Larry Eigner, and Leslie Scalapino. Bernstein also reveals the formative ideas behind the magazine L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E. The final section, published here for the first time, is a sweeping work on the poetics of stigma, perversity, and disability that is rooted in the thinking of Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickinson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and William Blake. Pitch of Poetry makes an exhilarating case for what Bernstein calls echopoetics: a poetry of call and response, reason and imagination, disfiguration and refiguration.

Book Description
My spiritual battles began shortly after my dad was diagnosed terminally ill. I quickly became anxious about whether he would go to Heaven after he died. I should have been more concerned about myself. I came to trust Jesus for salvation shortly after he lost his battle with cancer; I was 33. Over the next couple of years I was hospitalized multiple times for manic and depression, and diagnosed as bipolar. In short, I was a mess. Things only improved after confessing to sins I previously chose to pretend never happened. You cannot step into the light expecting to keep the darkness hidden, it must be exposed. Also, Christians are called to share the Gospel, but it is not our responsibility to ensure others will make the same decision to believe. Initially I believed it was. This is my story. This is my journey.

Book Description
REBEL SONG is a collection of poetry, essays, stories and meditations that reveals a depth of social conviction and the honesty of sincere spiritual struggle. Writing from an Orthodox Christian foundation, the author provides words of necessary challenge and transcendent hope. This is a compilation of philosophical prose, revolutionary verse, and mystical reflections written by a visionary of peace, love, and human rights. Herein are prophetic insights that will stir apathetic minds and arouse slumbering hearts. Provocative, incendiary, and perhaps controversial, this book ultimately resonates with redemptive truth. Through candid self-reflections and his clarion call to the Gospel of Peace, GEBRE MENFES KIDUS reveals the soul and consciousness of a true spiritual rebel.

Book Description
Both of Upton Sinclair’s Sylvia novels are featured in this volume, exploring gender inequality and societal corruption in early 1900s America. Socialist writer Upton Sinclair tells the story of Sylvia Castleman, a Southern US girl in the early twentieth century, across two volumes, Sylvia (1913) and Sylvia’s Marriage (1914). Sylvia is a society woman who is determined to fight against the stereotypes for her gender. Her story is narrated in first person by Mary Abbott, who was raised in a hardworking farming family. The novels demonstrate the disturbing inequality between men and women in the 1900s, and expose the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases at the time. Both the books contained in this volume were written collaboratively between Sinclair and his wife, Mary Craig Sinclair. Sinclair developed Sylvia’s story from his wife’s autobiographical writings of her childhood. Sylvia & Sylvia’s Marriage is not to be missed by fans of the muckraking journalist and those with an interest in feminist literature.
