Hands to the Spindle by Paula Mitchell Marks Pdf

Of the spinning wheel and the clatter of the loom provided regular accompaniment to the lives of many Texas women immigrants and their families. Producing much-needed garments and cloth also provided an escape from the worries and isolation of frontier life. One early chronicler, Mary Crownover Rabb, kept her spinning wheel whistling all day and most of the night because the spinning kept her "from hearing the Indians walking around hunting mischief." Through the stories.

My Son, If You Accept My Words by Sondra Lee Pdf

Author Sondra Lee wrote this book to help her son, Tristan, to know what God wants for him in his life. She tenderly shares the importance of guarding one’s own heart so that while pursuing a young man’s dream, he will not find himself later in life like Solomon compromising the truths of God’s Word. As she began writing this book for him, the Lord burdened her heart for the many other young men in her son’s life. She has now made this book available for any young man, yet to be married, to read, study, and see the importance of seeking the Lord in every decision in their lives, both big and small. My Son, If You Accept My Words serves as a resource for young men in their study of God’s Word in order for them to see the practical application of His Word in their own life and, hopefully, to help equip them to make wise decisions for their future. Lee hopes that each chapter will be preceded by prayer for wisdom and discernment and that the Lord will use this book to open the hearts and eyes of our young men to their calling to be leaders, warriors, and servants. This collection of devotional writings offers young men a guide based in biblical wisdom and is intended to help them find more joy and faith on their life’s journey.

Why Christian Women Are/Should Be Sexy: That Is... Very Exciting, Confident, Competent, and Appealing by Audrey Kay Pdf

One day I had a realization. I realized what the world considers sexy is not sexy at all! It's brash, lewd, rude, crude, and downright unattractive. Where was class and self respect, and how does God factor in? I thought to myself, maybe women choosing to live the world's version of sexy don't know what sexy really looks like and are holding themselves up to a common erroneous standard. Maybe they don't know how greedy, selfish, and vulnerable to evil this can make them. How many women end up lonely, unhappy, and suicidal because they misunderstand what it takes to be a woman who's alive, purposeful, and nobody's fool? Although this work is based on The Virtuous Woman in Proverbs 31 of the Holy Bible, her strengths, techniques and "life Hacks" are valuable for any woman of any age who desires to be more exciting, competent, confident and appealing.

Bound Feet, Young Hands by Laurel Bossen,Hill Gates Pdf

Footbinding was common in China until the early twentieth century, when most Chinese were family farmers. Why did these families bind young girls' feet? And why did footbinding stop? In this groundbreaking work, Laurel Bossen and Hill Gates upend the popular view of footbinding as a status, or even sexual, symbol by showing that it was an undeniably effective way to get even very young girls to sit still and work with their hands. Interviews with 1,800 elderly women, many with bound feet, reveal the reality of girls' hand labor across the North China Plain, Northwest China, and Southwest China. As binding reshaped their feet, mothers disciplined girls to spin, weave, and do other handwork because many village families depended on selling such goods. When factories eliminated the economic value of handwork, footbinding died out. As the last generation of footbound women passes away, Bound Feet, Young Hands presents a data-driven examination of the social and economic aspects of this misunderstood custom.

The Book of Proverbs, Chapters 15-31 by Bruce K. Waltke Pdf

Over twenty-five years in the making, this much-anticipated commentary promises to be the standard study of Proverbs for years to come. Written by eminent Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke, this two-volume commentary is unquestionably the most comprehensive work on Proverbs available. Grounded in the new literary criticism that has so strengthened biblical interpretation of late, Waltke's commentary on Proverbs demonstrates the profound, ongoing relevance of this Old Testament book for Christian faith and life. A thorough introduction addresses such issues as text and versions, structure, authorship, and theology. The detailed commentary itself explains and elucidates Proverbs as "theological literature." Waltke's highly readable style -- evident even in his original translation of the Hebrew text -- makes his scholarly work accessible to teachers, pastors, Bible students, and general readers alike.

Hebrew Life and Literature by Bernhard Lang Pdf

Bernhard Lang, known for his contributions over several decades to biblical anthropology, offers in this volume a selection of essays on the life and literature of the ancient Hebrews. The subjects range from the Hebrew God, the world-view of the Bible, and the formation of the scriptural canon, to peasant poverty, women's work, the good life, and prophetic street theatre. The stories of Joseph, Samson, and the expulsion from Paradise are told, and in a departure from the Old Testament, the priestly origins of the Eucharist are considered. Insight into the Hebrew mentality is facilitated by the arrangement of the essays, reflecting the three strata of the ancient society: the peasants, with their common concerns of fertility and happiness; warriors, their martial pursuits, and the divine Lord of War; and the wise - prophets, priests, and sages.
