To understand how we got here, we have rewind the VHS tape. 90s Bitch tells the real story of women and girls in the 1990s, exploring how they were maligned by the media, vilified by popular culture, and objectified in the marketplace. Trailblazing women like Hillary Clinton, Anita Hill, Marcia Clark, and Roseanne Barr were undermined. Newsmakers like Monica Lewinsky, Tonya Harding, and Lorena Bobbitt were shamed and misunderstood. The advent of the 24-hour news cycle reinforced society's deeply entrenched sexism.

review by c joanna
Revisado: 09-25-19
Having also spent my educational years all during the 90’s a lot of this book hit home. I also learned a lot bc the media during the time told a one sided story to many known women of the day. As a woman in the 90’s you couldn’t win no matter what you did and as a young girl growing up then I recognized that. And it angers me that the same bs is around today. I recently read Trainwreck and feel like this book is on a similar page of that as women as hard as it is to hear these kinds of things, it’s good to be aware, to get a perspective on the world we live and operate in and that we have to keep fighting the patriarchy. I feel that any female whether born in/around or after the 90’s can benefit from reading this. To quote Lizzo “If you feel like a girl, then you’re real like a girl, do your thing, run the whole damn world!”

Losing your life to find it. Love regardless the cost
Revisado: 10-28-18
Greg puts on display God’s love for the one. You want to make difference, you want social change? Starts with finding the value in the one and entering into life together. This brings a change that gives the world hope and can break our heart. Love wins but love also hurts. This is where life (Zoe life), joy, and the reason for living is found. Jesus.

Value found in the Conclusions or Jesus?
Revisado: 04-03-18
I think Ravi does a fantastic job of exposing the heart, the nature, the essence, of our triune God; revealing the love of the father and our hope found in Jesus. While this was a good exposé of the differences between the teachings of Buddha and Buddhism and the gospel of Jesus Christ, I think that the real value is revealed as Jesus exposes the relationship we have been welcomed into with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst shares her own deeply personal experiences of rejection from the perceived judgment of the perfectly toned woman one elliptical over to the incredibly painful childhood abandonment by her father. She leans in to honestly examine the roots of rejection, as well as rejection's ability to poison relationships from the inside out, including our relationship with God.

Not Just For Women...
Revisado: 03-14-18
Not Just For Women... A lot of the books are written from a man’s perspective but they apply to women as well. I decided to give the book a shot to see if the truths spoke to me as well. I’m so glad to heard this book. Truth is truth no matter what the gender. I think there’s value in this book for anyone in their walk with God; coming to know him and themselves. A very enjoyable book and the person reading was one of the best.

C. S. Lewis's dazzling allegory about Heaven and Hell - and the chasm fixed between them - is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, where we discover that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside. In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon in Hell and embarks on an incredible voyage to Heaven. Anyone in Hell is invited on board, and anyone may remain in Heaven if he or she so chooses. But do we really want to live in Heaven?

Why is it that I am only now discovering this book? Just recently I became aware of George McDonald's work, and what a pleasure to have him woven into this powerful story… As we see Jesus we see the father in all of his love and glory and the Holy Spirit reveals His hope lived out in the us
