Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Servants of Desire in Virginia Woolf's Shorter Fiction proposes an insight into the ways in which Virginia Woolf engaged with the questions of how class influences working women's occupation of private and public space and how material privilege or economic distress inhibits or encourages their likelihood of obtaining their intellectual, spiritual, and physical desires. This groundbreaking book uses class as the determining factor to assess how servants and working class women occupy private and public space and articulate or fail to realize their desires. Drawing upon published and unpublished holograph and typescript drafts of the shorter fiction in The Monks House Papers as well as the Berg Collection, this book examines Woolf's oscillating patterns of elision, idealization, and contempt for the voices and desires of female servants, lesbians, gypsies, and other disenfranchised women. The Servants of Desire in Virginia Woolf's Shorter Fiction also assesses how the portrayal of working class women in the shorter fiction becomes a vital template for the representation of working class women in Woolf's novels and essays. This study of the cumulative portrayal of the working class woman in all of Virginia Woolf's shorter fiction will also be compelling for anyone interested in social justice, especially for advocates of equality in gender/race/class/sexuality conflicts.

Book excerpt: Birchwood Heights is a secretive lesbian community based on one shocking assumption: that some women want to own and some women want to be owned. Freed from the shackles of society's expectations, the residents of Birchwood Heights pursue existences of pleasure and pain that they could only dream of in their former lives. All of this behind high walls and strong gates, safe from the prying eyes of the outside world. Until now.Where Women Own Women: Amanda Flynn is a reporter with a nose for a story and a burning curiosity. After an anonymous tip, she becomes obsessed with discovering the truth behind Birchwood Heights. But every path she follows leads to nowhere and every door seems closed to her. Close to giving up, she makes the fateful decision to sneak into the community. Without realizing, Amanda stumbles into a world of forbidden lesbian love that causes her to question everything she thought she knew about herself.Sold To Another Woman: As her journey continues, Amanda must enter The Academy and become a trained beta, learning to surrender to her deep and insatiable need to submit, to become obedient and docile, an expert at giving pleasure and a willing recipient of bitter pain. Because in Birchwood Heights, nothing is forbidden and everything has a price, including Amanda herself.Owned By An Alpha Woman: After the endless pleasures and agonies of her training at Birchwood Academy, she entered the service of Ms. Karen Rhodes, a powerful and intimidating alpha woman. Insatiable, driven and perverted, Karen Rhodes terrified and excited Amanda in equal measure. But she is not alone in her new life, and the struggle to become Mistress's favorite is one that will never end.

Book excerpt: Jesus Christ is the greatest example of servant-leadership in the history of the world. We are called to follow His lead. Are you ready to begin the grandest adventure of them all? In Practical Leadership, Dr. Tom Cannon will introduce you to the leadership style of Jesus Christ, and show you how to successfully emulate His ministry in your daily life. For those who believe servant-leadership is for wimps, be assured, you are absolutely wrong. Servant-leaders are world-changers. Men and women who stand strong amid any crisis, and through their words, actions, and attitude, reveal Christ to a hurting, confused, and often angry world. The world is perishing, they need you to help reveal the love, mercy, grace and kindness of Jesus Christ to them, in a real and personal way. How? Become a servant-leader of the King, and lead them like Jesus did. Are you up to the challenge? I hope so, because the future of our churches, communities, and nation are on the line.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Virginia Woolf wrote A Room of One's Own in 1929, she established her reputation as a feminist, and an advocate for unheard voices. But like thousands of other upper-class British women, Woolf relied on live-in domestic servants for the most intimate of daily tasks. That room of Woolf's own was kept clean by a series of cooks and maids throughout her life. In the much-praised Mrs. Woolf and the Servants, Alison Light probes the unspoken inequality of Bloomsbury homes with insight and grace, and provides an entirely new perspective on an essential modern artist.

Book excerpt: Alan Scott, a leader in the Vineyard Movement, draws upon his years of experience to share inspiring stories of cities transformed by scattered servants. He shares practical ways for church leaders to move beyond the building walls and take the kingdom to those who need it most. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Scott argues that every believer, not just the leaders, can fill their city, workplace, and family with the beauty and power of Christ. When believers become scattered servants, the Holy Spirit will equip them to advance the kingdom and change lives through their hearts and hands.
