Have you ever been misunderstood? People judge you before they even know. Judging you based off your outer appearance, and never wanting to take a chance to get to know you, the inner you. Has different traumas from your past, defined you or shaped you and caused you to look at situations differently; or caused you to carry yourself a certain way? Have you ever felt like an oddball or an outcast? Or like you just don't fit in? Well if that's how you've ever felt, this book is for you. In life you may have been or may even still be misunderstood, that is not your fault, or anything you've done. Not everyone may be able to know you or even understand your story. Don't allow what you've done or what has been done to you, to define you or your future. You are not your past and you do not have to be what people call you, but who God has designed you to be. Don't allow people to label you or you to even label yourself. This book will help you to be able to recognize how we can label ourselves and allow our past and our own choices, to define us, and how once you forgive yourself and heal from your past, that's when new life and wholeness can begin. Remember "Death and life are in the power of the tongue" - Proverbs 18:21 NKJV. Your words are powerful. Speak life into your situation. Speak peace in your life. Speak positive over your circumstance and your situation, and don't allow anyone to have the power to speak over you and define you. You have more to gain, that's what you're holding on too. Let the past go and move forward towards your future.

From the woman who acted like a prostitute to the woman who was one, the widow to the adulteress to the mother, each has something to pass on.

What if the world had never heard of Steve Bartman? What if Alex Gonzalez had fielded that ground ball cleanly, and turned the pair? What if Grady Little had listened when Pedro told him he was tired, and gone to the bullpen, which had, after all, been extremely effective throughout the post-season. This story is about how the world and the 2003 World Series would have been had those things happened. The stories in this book are a mixture of fact, fiction, fantasy, and fanaticism. Outside of New York and Florida, there was not a lot of sentiment for the Yankees and Marlins to get to the 2003 World Series. Even Fox Sports, Sports Business Journal, ESPN, and every other media in the country were pulling for a Cubs vs. Red Sox World Series.

Feminist Media: From the Second Wave to the Digital Age analyses the relationship between second wave feminist media production and capitalism, as well as identifying the tradition that can be drawn between second wave feminism, Riot Grrrl and feminist blogging today. There has been a recent re-evaluation of the importance of second wave feminist media, demonstrated by the digitization of Spare Rib by the British Library in 2015. However, up until now, research on the magazine has been limited. This book analyses the relationship between Spare Rib and the capitalist publishing industry, comparing it to American feminist magazine Ms. The book argues that it is important to understand the cultural economies of the magazines as this had an impact on the assumed readership of the magazines, therefore having an impact on the issues that were privileged. The second half of the book charts a crucial and often overlooked link between feminist media production in the ‘second wave’ and more contemporary forms of feminist media activism.

This journal is a few hundred pages of unpopular opinion, I wrote this ball of rage between 2014-2016 and I planned to give to my gender studies professor after I took her class. When I left her class I noticed that there's a lot of misleading information about people that disagree with feminists and feminism, and this book will help demystify some of those notions. I may have written this book for her but I believe it can help others as well. The 1st group of people that this book will help are people that don't like feminists and feminism you'll agree with almost everything I have to say, trust me you're not alone. This book is full of red pills you're going to love it. The 2nd group of people are people that are on the fence about feminists. Yeah, feminists may have told you the dictionary definition of feminism, and you might have heard some things about the feminist movement but you're still not quite sure what to make of them. I think you will gain the most from what I went through. I will show you the tactics some feminists use to get what they want. These are all things you should know before you engage with any feminist. The 3rd group of people are the people that don't understand why so many people have such hard opinions on feminism and feminists. Hopefully this book will help you understand were the first group of people are coming from. I use jokes, satire and personal experiences to bring levity to this hot topic issue. I don't want to tell you what to think. I want to show you what I went through so you can make up your own mind, and even if you disagree with me I hope you enjoy the ride. Now onto the 4th group, these are the feminists that are vexed and can't figure out why so many people dislike feminism and why feminists can't crack 18 percent of the population. I think you will benefit the most from what I have to say. I'm not going to berate you or attack you I'm just going to make my claims on why I disagree with your dogmatic ideology and hopefully you can respect that. I really want you to understand where I'm coming from and maybe we can build a bridge from there. Now on to the big mama of them all the 5th group, if you are the type of feminist that believes everything is sexist and everything is racist and every man is a misogynist. Put this book down, you are going to have a bad time. I deconstruct almost everything you believe in with ruthless and logical precision and I know for a fact that this book is going to trigger you into oblivion. Hell, you might even do something crazy, like set this book on fire and I don't want to see my book set a blaze. So save your money save your time and continue to smash the patriarchy. But to the other 4 out of 5 of you crack open a beer or pour a glass of wine and enjoy my descent into madness.

This Book portrays the journey of a “Ms. Guided,” woman, who was raised in church, practiced religion but failed to develop a personal relationship with God. The story depicts how the lack of this vital relationship leads to unresolved childhood issues, diminished self worth, and a burning desire for wholeness and a search for unconditional love. Although this story resides in a fi ctional setting it reveals true to life, heartbreaking testimony of how a young woman makes a series of bad decisions that sends her into a downward spiral which create a deeper void in her life. Ms Guided is inspired and encouraged by the graphic testimonies of four persevering women. The women’s stories are also true stories deposited into a fi ctional setting and written in their own words. Teen pregnancy, single parenting, drug addiction, domestic violence, incarceration, suicide, and chronic illness are just a few of the things the women endure. A Sheppard (Rev. Gilbert Pickett Sr.) guides this transformation process through his support and scripture based words of wisdom. Ms. Guided undergoes a process of revelation, refl ection and change. She becomes whole, healed and demonstrates how God can take ordinary people and do extraordinary things. Through her journey, Ms. Guided develops an understanding of the Christian Development Process and comes to terms with the fact that; This Walk Ain’t Easy but Help is Along the Way.
