Alan Roger Currie - 2012
    Many self-help books are available to single women that shed light on the various types of men to avoid in today's dating scene.What about advice for single men on what types of women they should avoid?There are a number of women in society who would make any man a wonderful wife, girlfriend, or platonic friend.Then there are other women who only look to take advantage of men who are naive and highly libidinous for their own egotistical and/or financial advantage.Book Author Alan Roger Currie releases yet another book (in both a paperback and Kindle eBook version) that is filled with his unique brand of knowledge and wisdom related to how single men and women verbally communicate their romantic and sexual desires and interests to one another.Currie once again highlights the fact that when a man expresses his romantic or sexual desires, interests and intentions to women in a very "cautious," "vague," "ambiguous," or "beat-around-the-bush" manner, that the man potentially opens himself up to be misled and taken advantage of by women who are seasoned manipulators of men.

How To Be A Gentlewoman


Lotte Jeffs - 2019
    We want to be successful and liked at work, to have opinions about politics, art and literature as well as, well... Kanye West. We strive for more and more Instagram followers rather than working on our real relationships with real friends. Happiness has become just another thing on our to-do list. This book is for any woman aspiring to better herself and live more happily.This modern Englishwoman tells you how to be a gentlewoman; from knowing how to use a power drill, to making your bed every single day and never eating lunch at your desk. She will take you on a first date, to a party where you should ask someone 'what they are into' rather 'than what they do' and to a dinner party where you should always arrive 11 minutes late. She tells you how to be mysterious, flirtatious and to dine alone, the right way to approach weddings and how to host a kitchen supper (with beer) the end of the night, for a birthday, for a smart date, never asks how to get home because she always knows. How to be a Gentlewoman presents a clear and compelling strategy for navigating life today with charm, care, confidence, consideration and control. Each chapter will include relatable,personal anecdotes and examples, and each will end with a relevant and irreverent list of 'gentle rules'.Rather than killing it, slaying in your lane, having to be a girl boss or not adopting the subtle art of not giving a f**k, this book teaches you the incredible female power of being gentle in a brutal world.

Holy Sex: Song of Solomon


Michael Pearl - 2002
    God created his children as sexual opposites, and designed marriage to be the context of erotic pleasure.  While the church has been mostly silent on the subject of sex, the world and the devil have attempted to make it their domain. The church has rightly proclaimed the biblical prohibitions on the misuse of sex, but it has failed to speak out on the godliness of erotic pleasure in the context of marriage. Out of the 66 books composing the Bible, one whole book is dedicated to promoting erotic pleasure—the Song of Solomon.  Michael Pearl takes his readers through a refreshing journey of the Biblical texts.  This sanctifying look at the most powerful passion God ever created will free the reader from false guilt and inhibition.  Michael Pearl says, “It is time for Christian couples to take back this sacred ground and enjoy the holy gift of sexual pleasure.” This material is intended for mature audiences.  Don’t read this book unless you are married, have definite plans to be married in the next few weeks, or are an older teenager whose parents have first read it and approve of you doing so. If you don’t think God meant for sex to be fun, this book is definitely for you!

The Comanche Captivity of Sarah Ann Horn


James A. Crutchfield - 2015
    After spending several months in New York City, the family signed up for a journey to the Republic of Texas where they could homestead and eventually acquire 137 free acres for their efforts.

Attacked and captured by a party of Comanche Indians, Sarah Ann was faced with challenges and realities the like of which she never could have dreamed. Over a period of fifteen months of Comanche captivity, she and her captors rode endlessly across the Texas plains until finally she was purchased out of bondage and befriended by traders in New Mexico. This is the true story of a remarkable woman who endured an unimaginable amount of suffering and pain in her short lifetime.

Digital Diaries


Natacha Merrit - 2000
    And of her Friends, male and female, and her acquaintances as well. But Merritt's favourite motif is herself: she poses almost every minute of the day for her camera, taking photographs of herself in bed, in the shower, having sex with her friend, masturbating with and without accessories, from every imaginable angle and with the camera usually at arm's length. Merritt, born 1977, works with a digital camera, the Polaroid of the 90s, breaking down the most intimate details into universally accessible bits of information. Eric Kroll came across Natacha Merritt by chance in the internet, where she had put several of her photographs. This was something that left the tradition of classical pin-up and fetish photography, in which Kroll himself works, far behind. Face to face with Merritt's photographs one can reflect on intimacy and publicity in the digital age, on narcissism even, or on radical self-exploration with the help of the camera. But this all sounds better as Natacha Merritt herself puts it: in her view, she has found a new mode of masturbating her way into the next millennium.

It would instill a love for holiness and a hatred for sin without dragging the reader’s imagination through the gutter. And it would be for both men and women, because I’ve learned that lust isn’t just a guy problem—it’s a human problem.” —Joshua Harris

Purity is Possible: How to live free of the fantasy trap


Helen Thorne - 2014

Even more than that write their own pornography - not on paper for publication, but in their heads for their own use. Helen Thorne knows all this because she's done it.But no one talks about it. Our churches are silent on it. There are very few books about it. It is the unspoken struggle of thousands of Christian women - perhaps you, and probably someone you know.But no more. In this refreshingly honest, resolutely hope-filled and gospel-soaked book, Helen speaks the unspoken. In doing so, she shows how purity is better and more satisfying than fantasy - and that, whoever you are and whatever your struggles, that purity is possible.
