Shannon Evans & The Mystics Would Like a Word
Discover a rich legacy of audacious women who forged a spirituality that is more embracing, more surprising, and more empowering than we ever imagined. Journeying with six female mystics, Evans reveals that these women, like women today, desired a spirituality that was big enough to hold the female experiences of sexual intimacy and desire, the yearning for bodily autonomy, the challenges of fertility and motherhood, and life with male authority and sometimes violence. In each case, Evans presents a woman who has gone before, having fought for women’s experiences to be heard, understood, respected, and recognized as holy. In this book, readers will see that there is already a story of Christian faith and spirituality told by women, one that speaks directly to their own unique experiences, and that leads to wholeness, healing, and spiritual vitality.

Neal Stephenson & Polostan
Following the early life of the enigmatic Dawn Rae Bjornberg, Polostan begins in the American West where she is born to a clan of cowboy anarchists. She is then raised in Leningrad after the Russian Revolution by her Russian father, a party line Leninist who re-christens her Aurora. She spends her early years in Russia but then grows in Montana, before being drawn into gunrunning and revolution in the streets of Washington, D.C., during the depths of the Great Depression. When a surprising revelation about her past puts her in the crosshairs of U.S. authorities, Dawn returns to Russia, where she is groomed as a spy by the organization that later becomes the KGB.
