Stitched-up
Author: Stephanie Vermeulen
Publisher: Jacana Media
ISBN: 9781770090293
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
This feisty and inspiring treatise blames the destructive cultural myth of female self-sacrifice for the desire for breast implants, the conservative insistence on family values, and the general cultural attitude that prevents women from supporting one another's accomplishments. Using everything from psychological analysis to clever fairy-tale parodies--called "fairer tales"--the author promotes an ideology for women that is neither bra-burning feminism nor passive conservatism, but rather a belief in self-development.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Written in a respectful and conversational style, this unique book is designed to promote constructive dialogue and foster mutual understanding between Christians and non-Christians.

Do miracles really happen? How reliable is the Bible? What is the rapture? Why isn't everyone a Christian?

Christians will find the book useful as a basis for developing their apologetics, while skeptics will welcome Harrison's probing rational analysis of religious claims.
