Book Review: Too Heavy a Yoke: Black Women and the Burden of Strength
By: Sarah Lindsay | April 10, 2015
Too Heavy A Yoke is an important and accessible resource for understanding the ways in which racism and sexism—both historical and contemporary—impacts the lives of black women. I finished the book with a much better understanding of the historical and contemporary social pressures on constructions of black womanhood.

Book Review: Is It My Fault?: Hope and Healing for Those Suffering Domestic Violence

There are many excellent books on the topic of domestic abuse, but this is one of the more practical ones that I have read.

Book Review: Battered without Bruises: A Survivor's Story
By: Liz Sykes | January 1, 2015
An extremely well-written account of the author’s experience of living with an abusive husband who appeared to others as the epitome of a fine Christian gentleman . . . This heartfelt account is practical yet not clinical and without a trace of bitterness. How Marjorie recovered from this ordeal of many years will be of great encouragement [...]

Esler is emeritus professor of biblical interpretation at St Mary’s University College, Twickenham, London, and was principal of St. Mary’s when this book was published. His several books have tended to apply social-scientific approaches to NT studies. The present volume does the same for a handful of OT narrative texts.

Anderson describes the “essence of spiritual leadership” as “sheep following a shepherd because they know and trust him." The book as a whole is wonderful, but I want to look closely at his discussion on authority in regard to [...]
