Book Description
Young women are deeply dissatisfied with society's standards (and double standards). They want more for themselves--but sometimes they don't quite know what that more should be. That's where Miss Black New Jersey 2018 and Teen Vogue "It Girl" turned fashion writer Tarah-Lynn Saint-Elien comes in. Through her insightful comments on media, pop culture, and pervading cultural myths about beauty, fashion, and womanhood, Tarah-Lynn dismantles the messages that feed into the insecurities, fears, doubts, and guilt that young women experience today. She introduces them to an understanding of God as a loving Father and the King of all kings, who bestows upon his daughters a crown of love, worth, and power. And she shows them how to not only claim the promises of God but also walk purposefully in them as independent women (no prince necessary!) who respond to adversity with righteousness and authority.

Unsettling

Pages : 265
Book Description
4 out of 5 stars, “Canny and thought provoking” San Francisco review of books “A Standout, frequently profound story collection” Kirkus Reviews of Vincent Macraven’s collection of short stories, “A Diverse Gathering” Unsettling was unsettling, in the best way possible. There were a few times throughout the book that I actually had to put it down for fear of nightmares. Macraven takes the innards of our souls and hangs them out there for us to see, bloody and dripping. The images are disturbing and real and the storytelling is horror fiction at its finest. In Where the Dead Dwell, we visit the most haunted of houses, alive in its own evil. In Watching Black Mountain, the reader is introduced to a charismatic leader, a man with true belief in his own God-like abilities. His pride will leave you breathless. Finally, in The Devil Incarnate, a detective is faced with the murder victims he has failed at the hands of a much larger, much scarier force. These stories will entrance you and keep you up at night, willing you to face the demons in our world. Sarah Ghoshal
