    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Whether raised within a specific belief system or warned against all things religious, young women today have been left with questions that dating guides and pop feminist theory cannot answer. This collection answers the call&#8212;a handbook for the soul that offers the wisdom and validation of how a variety of women negotiate an empowering spiritual existence in a pop-culture world. In Bare Your Soul, women of all backgrounds and traditions share how investigating questions of spirituality affects their lives and their identities. It is a provocative look at the ways in which young women of today both celebrate and repudiate religion&#8212;and, ultimately, find answers that fit. One woman shares her practice as a Shiite Muslim and how it intersects and collides with her personal relationships. A woman raised within the Black Baptist community finally finds a spiritual connection with the Unitarian Church&#8212;then struggles to balance spiritual fulfillment with her desire to see other Black faces in her place of worship. A young mother speaks to the challenges brought on when play dates bring together her family&#8217;s religion&#8212;feminist Goddess-worship&#8212;and that of her children&#8217;s fundamentalist Christian friends. A Western feminist who has converted to Buddhism attempts to reconcile her gender identity with a philosophy that renders gender irrelevant, and one woman argues that the Church of Consumerism is all she needs. A compelling, much-needed anthology, this collection offers balanced, insiders&#8217; information on a wide spectrum of traditions and practices, allowing readers to make informed, intelligent spiritual choices for themselves.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Homosexuality has been politicized. But when the issue hits home, whether it involves a family member, colleague, or neighbor who's gay, all that controversy fades in the face of a real, live person who wants and deserves basic human rights and freedoms. Written by gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people and those who care about them, <em>50 Ways to Support Lesbian and Gay Equality</em> is a compendium of informative, joyful, and poignant essays by well-known experts, activists, and leaders, each promoting understanding while suggesting simple actions. From defining terminology (&quot;What's gay baiting?&quot;), to exploring family issues (&quot;How can I support a lesbian couple who want to have children?&quot;), the book deftly navigates workplace, cultural, and political issues. This timely and much-needed guide demonstrates positive ways to deal with everyday homophobia and heterosexism, or just plain uncertainty at the unfamiliar, offering guidance on issues ranging from the personal &#8212; what to say to a closeted friend &#8212; to the political &#8212; how to support gay rights around the world.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Books on how to survive breakups are often too linear, not reflecting the cyclical emotions and ups and downs that many women face when long-term relationships end. This book, inspired by personal experience, shows how even strong, independent women suffer backslides into depression or resentment. It goes beyond the first painful stage to explore the full spectrum of the breakup process.  <p>The authors, who both ended seven-year relationships within the same year, found they provided each other with more comfort and support than offered by the average breakup book. They sought out other women and gathered their stories and voices, and the result is this realistic approach to handling breakups, rebuilding identity, and restoring happiness.</p>]]>
