Hardback. Condición: Good. ? Human Rights ? Equality ? Free Speech ? Privacy ? The Rule of Law These five ideas are vitally important to the way of life we enjoy today. The battle to establish them in law was long and difficult, and Anthony Lester was at the heart of the thirty-year campaign that resulted in the Human Rights Act, as well as the struggle for race and gender equality that culminated in the Equality Act of 2010. Today, however, our society is at risk of becoming less equal. From Snowden?s revelations about the power and reach of our own intelligence agencies to the treatment of British Muslims, our civil liberties are under threat as never before. The internet leaves our privacy in jeopardy in myriad ways, our efforts to combat extremism curtail free speech, and cuts to legal aid and interference with access to justice endanger the rule of law. A fierce argument for why we must act now to ensure the survival of the ideals that enable us to live freely, Five Ideas to Fight For is a revealing account of what we need to protect our hard-won rights and freedoms.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Military life is a very demanding life to lead. Protecting America's freedom is perhaps one of the toughest jobs. Thus, begins Why We Fight, a timeless and very powerful book that speaks to the values American's hold dear but against which we must always be alert. Freedom and free speech. Living without fear of a knock on your door. Nearly every word in this book comes from active-duty military personal speaking about service to the nation, to which have been added powerful and often forgotten quotes about the need to protect our freedoms from leaders such as Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy; Reagan. Nelson Mandela. Even Warren Buffett. The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing, said Albert Einstein. Against the backdrop of the battles to protect their freedoms in Ukraine, there has never been a better time than now to have a book like this. To me, the American Dream means that I can dream, said an emigree. It doesn't mean a white picket fence. It means that we get to choose what our fence looks like. The book begins with WWI and continues through present day Ukraine. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had a purpose being in the Navy, said a sailor after returning from an overseas deployment. It wasn't about money and rank and prestige. It was about raising the flag. We do what we do because no one else can or will do it. We fight so others can sleep at night. This timeless and very powerful book speaks to today, speaks to the values that are the absolute bedrock of our nation, and thus why we fight to protect them. Against the backdrop of the battles to protect their freedoms in Ukraine, there has never been a better time than now to have a book like this. …

Paperback. Condición: Good. Shannon Watts was a stay-at-home mom folding laundry when news of the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary flashed across the television screen. In one moment, she went from outraged to engaged and decided to do something about it. What started as a simple Facebook group to connect with other frustrated parents grew into Moms Demand Action, a national movement with millions of supporters and a powerful grassroots network of local chapters in all 50 states. Shannon has been called "the NRA's worst nightmare"--and her army of moms have bravely gone up against the gun lobby, showing up in their signature red shirts, blocking the hallways of congress with their strollers, electing gun sense candidates and running for office themselves, proving that if the 80 million moms in this country come together, they can put an end to gun violence. Fight Like a Mother is the incredible account how one mother's cry for change became the driving force behind gun safety progress. Along with stories of perseverance, courage, and compassion, Watts shines a light on the unique power of women--starting with what they have, leading with their maternal strengths, and doubling down instead of backing down. While not everyone can be on the front lines lobbying congress, every mom is already a multi-tasking organizer, and Shannon explains how to go from amateur activist to having a real impact in your community and beyond. Fight Like a Mother will inspire everyone--mothers and fathers, students and teachers, lawmakers, and anyone motivated to enact change--to get to work transforming hearts and minds, and passing laws that save lives.   This part manifesto, part manual for social change reveals how to: From Outrage to Action: Learn how Shannon Watts went from a stay-at-home mom devastated by the Sandy Hook news to the founder of a national movement in a single afternoon. Social Media Activism: Discover the blueprint for turning a single Facebook page into a grassroots army, proving you don't need a D.C. office to have a national impact. A Playbook for Change: Master the tactics that made Moms Demand Action the NRA's "worst nightmare," from organizing locally to showing up in red shirts and making your voice heard. Women's Empowerment: Harness the unique maternal strengths every parent already has--organizing, multitasking, and doubling down instead of backing down--to create lasting social change.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. A passionate call for Christian women to effectively wield the sword of their God-given feminine strength against any evil that threatens them and those they love. What if you discovered you have been entrusted with an invisible, invincible, and incorruptible weapon? Would you use it? In a day of worldwide trafficking, gendercide, discrimination, and other hostility against women, Lisa Bevere points to a biblical foundation to present a model of feminine strength that will empower women to live confidently. Drawing on the many references to swords throughout Scripture, the author constructs a revealing and compelling female paradigm that will impact every area of a woman's self identity, spiritual awareness, relationships, and life vision and mission. Long known for her passionate and articulate expression of biblical womanhood, Bevere presents fresh imagery--as enticing and strong as polished steel--to prepare women boldly for the challenges they face in today's world. It's not enough to just be wise and strong: Now a woman must know how to wield her sword. Creatively forging the imagery of swords, the Word of God, and the Cross, Girls with Swords will teach you: - How to speak the language of heaven on earth - What it means to intercede - What it means to carry your cross - What it means to be discerning - How to disarm the enemy - Why women are the enemy's target--and why God needs them to be heroes It's time to take up your sword and be a hero. …
