Confessions of a Hot Mess Lady Pastor: I Don't Have it All Together by Amy DeWitt (20 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

I'm not famous. I haven't spoken at massive rallies or inspired large crowds... to do anything. I'm just an average lady without any major accomplishments to my name. I have never really been much of anything, or anybody. I guess that's why I should write a book. Maybe I'm more relatable as a nobody! Can't you relate more to the run-of-the-mill, average, hot mess friend than the one with spotless, white carpet and shining stainless steel appliances without one fingerprint on them? Most Christian books I've read, especially those written by pastor's wives, are sweet, but unrelatable. These women seem to have it all together, captivating their audiences with their words of profound wisdom, and you have the hope that you, too, can achieve their perfection. Each time I read one of these sanguinely sweet books, I feel more defeated than encouraged. I can't live up to these standards. Books that are so full of ridiculous optimism and a sense of unearthly perfection. I aim for perfection. I strive for it. I dream of the perfectly decorated shabby chic home with everything in its place. I reach for the goal of defeating the colossal mountain of laundry, the eternal pile of dirty dishes; but alas, it defeats me every time. In fact, I dare say it not only defeats me, but it mocks me. Laughing at my languishing spirit. I endeavor to be the trophy pastor's wife; to achieve the best ratio of smiles to casseroles. But what happens when the pastor's wife sucks at making casseroles? Or when she doesn't feel like smiling when you tell her what a horrible job she or her husband is doing? This book is my attempt to bring some humor, truth, and a bit of hope, in a time when it's needed most. Stories took straight out of the screenplay of my everyday life, to encourage you in yours.

Women Code Breakers: The Best Kept Secret of WWII: True Stories of Female Code Breakers Whose Top-Secret Work Helped Win World War II (Brave Women ... by Elise Baker (112 Reviews)    Price verified 3 minutes ago

Who were the silent women whose top-secret work helped shorten World War II? Meet the female code breakers. Embedded within military intelligence and communications, wartime cryptography was a man's world. But women did much more for secret intelligence during World War II than resupply coffee and shuffle papers. Even beyond nursing and manufacturing, women working top-secret jobs played an integral role in supporting the Allied effort. They helped shorten the length of the war, saving countless lives in the process. Bringing to light the quiet heroism of female code breakers is an opportunity to showcase the exceptional women who saved lives and changed the tide of the greatest war in human history. The life of a female codebreaker was not a simple one. Even as they applied themselves to complicated counterintelligence work and labored daily alongside their male colleagues, they fought an uphill battle on many different fronts inside and outside the office. Despite the constant need to "prove" themselves and justify their life choices to men and women alike, these brilliant women never thought of themselves as heroes, but rather as citizens performing their duty, in common with the pragmatic attitudes that many people held during the war. As such, their stories and accomplishments have remained firmly under the radar -- often missing from official documentation, history books, public lore, and therefore general public awareness. The British feat of breaking the German Enigma code at Bletchley Park has been celebrated in popular culture in various books and movies, but the stories of many women who worked to break codes in the complex world of cryptography remain relatively untold. Many of the men who served in the war have been made heroes through the documentation of and telling and retelling of their daring exploits. Not so the unsung women heroes of WWII.
