Motherhood can be divinely rewarding but also extremely challenging. "Hardship and Bliss" is a collection of poems revealing the breadth of how it feels to be a mother. Magdalena Sabatino writes about this vulnerable journey, sharing joyful peak moments as well as the valleys of loneliness, exhaustion, and a crisis of identity.The book is an invitation to consciously parent; to create deep, compassionate relationships with one's children; and to craft lives full of meaning, joy, and peace. Magdalena's authentic voice encourages her readers to be gentle with themselves, abandon the desire for perfection, and embrace the pleasures of being present with each other and themselves.

Published to tie in with the forthcoming BBC series, Shopgirls is a nostalgic, sweeping history full of the life stories of the women behind the counters of Britain's most famous -- and not so famous -- stores.      Shopgirls should be heroines, as celebrated as steelworkers in the Industrial Revolution. A million of us were shop assistants by the turn of the twentieth century and since then retail has grown exponentially to become Britain's largest area of economic activity. But the young women at the heart of this economic and cultural revolution, the shop assistants themselves, have largely been ignored.     Shopgirls will tell the story of the lives of the girls who have worked behind the counters of our nation's shops from the drapery stores of the 1860s when young women's employment outside the home was taking off, through the Edwardian era's tumultuous social upheavals, two world wars and all the way to the working class revolution of the 1960s and the shock of the Biba bombing. This lively and ambitious book sets out to uncover the shopgirls' life stories, work cultures and economic contributions in a way never done before.

Wayne State University Press, 2017. Hardback, 8vo, viii,151pp. Spine slightly bumped. A good copy. 9780814342770

A richly evocative, adventurous hybrid of memoir and visionary prose-poetry, it'ss a coming-of-age story as well as a meditation on mortality--and immortality--compellingly told in a singular voice. By turns poignant, humorous and hallucinatory, the book vividly recalls the author'ss experiences in the Georgia creek swamp that he extensively explored during his childhood and youth, following him into the larger world he entered as an adult and the more unpredictable landscape of his dreams and his elaborate imagination. Regional (Georgia) memoir by late gay author, posthumously published.

The newest study of the Old Testament from trusted scholar Dr. John MacArthur provides thorough insights into a little-studied portion of the Bible. Have you endured long periods of loneliness or suffering? Have you ever felt that God had abandoned you? If so, you are not alone—many of God’s people down through the ages have been called to endure periods of hardship. Their lives were not easy, but even in the midst of tremendous trials these men and women discovered that God had not abandoned them—and that He was still actively leading the events of their lives. God’s Presence During Hardship takes an in-depth look at the time of Israel’s exile, beginning with Daniel being carried off to Babylon and continuing through the time of Esther. Studies include close-ups of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar, and others, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes, such as “Standing Boldly for God” and “God’s Sovereign Hand.” This twelve-volume MacArthur Old Testament Study Guide series provides intriguing twelve-week examinations of the Old Testament. Each guide looks at a portion of Scripture from three perspectives—historical studies, character studies, and thematic studies—and incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Old Testament with guidance from John MacArthur.
