Eve in Exile, and the Restoration of Femininity (Rebekah Merkle)
$14.75$16.00
Eve in Exile sets aside all stereotypes of mid-century housewives, of china-doll femininity, of Victorians fainting, of women not allowed to think for themselves or talk to the men about anything interesting or important. It dismisses the pencil-skirted and stiletto-heeled executives of TV, the outspoken feminists freed from all that hinders them, the brave career women in charge of their own destinies.
Once those fictionalized stereotypes are out of the way—whether they’re things that make you gag or things you think look pretty fun—Christians can focus on real women. What did God make real women for?

Eve in Exile
And the Restoration of Femininity
The swooning ladies of the Victorian Age and the suburban housewives of the 1950s genuinely needed to be liberated. That much is indisputable. So, First-Wave feminists held rallies for women’s suffrage. Then, Second-Wave feminists marched for Prohibition, jobs, and abortion. Today, Third-Wave feminists stand firmly for nobody’s quite sure what. But the modern woman—who uses psychotherapeutic drugs at a rate never before seen in history—needs liberating now more than ever. The truth is, feminists don’t know what liberation is. They have led us into a very boring dead end.

Her designs have been featured in a number of magazines and she has edited a Brit Lit curriculum for Canon Press.

Endorsement
“We’re so excited about this book, we’ve created a course for women here at our church using Eve in Exile. Our hope is to encourage every woman with a biblical vision of femininity: “Feminine glory is fruitful. It produces. It builds. And creates. And it does so in ways that are profound and staggering, surprising and beautiful , frequently messy, hilarious and ridiculous. As we build, as we glorify, as we try to imitate God in our fruitfulness, we should make sure that our vision for what that will look like is shaped by what God himself has shown us.” — Nicole Whitacre

In the House of Tom Bombadil (C. R. Wiley)

The Poems of Anne Bradstreet
$11.50A real sense of calm pervades Bradstreet’s poetry. She has genuine affection for the things she writes about, whether that be family, or the vistas of nature, or her husband, or the “pleasant things” lost in the house fire, and so in no way does she come across as a pinched ascetic. But neither does she come across as someone who is in frantic pursuit of worldly goods.
Anne Bradstreet came to fame when someone published her poetry as The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America. Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan who had crossed the ocean to help found the new colony in America. She lived on the frontier and lived a fairly uneventful life loving her husband and children. However, she was also a well-educated and imaginative woman whose poetry continues to be admired to this day. This collection of her poems is a forgotten classic that we would be well advised to read.

It’s Good To Be a Man – hardcover (Michael Foster)
$19.79Men were made to rule. They always have and always will. Nothing can change that. Nothing will. It is not a question of whether men will be ruling, but which ones and how.
Here’s a book to remind men that their natural aggressive instincts are gifts from God that are meant to be used for the kingdom. Men are supposed to establish households, join brotherhoods, and work towards a mission. This book offers men a quick guide to where they are and how they can get better. God made men to be strong and aggressive risk-takers. This is not a flaw; it’s God’s plan.

Easy Chairs, Hard Words: Conversations on the Liberty of God (Douglas Wilson)
$9.75“Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens. You will say to me then, ‘Why still find fault, For who resisted His will?’ But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God?” (Romans 9:18-20a).
Easy Chairs, Hard Words offers an honest look at many such difficult passages in Scripture. Presented as a series of fictional conversations between a curious young Christian and a seasoned pastor, these dialogues speak with clarity to those new to the Reformed faith.
They begin with the question, “Can salvation be lost?” and from there wrestle with other hard-to-swallow doctrines, including the freedom of the will, election, and original sin. Hard words, and yet the understanding given these passages is thoughtful and gentle. For our God—the God of hard words—is a merciful and loving Father, slow to wrath and quick to pardon, a triune God who graciously rescues men from death and brings them into everlasting life.

The Household and the War for the Cosmos (C. R. Wiley)
$13.75Your household is not just a shelter from a war zone; it is the command center from where you launch your attacks. It’s this vision of the world, with the Christian family at the heart, that modern parents desperately need to recover.
In this truly original book, C. R. Wiley shows that, although the family has become dislocated and pushed to the side by modern society, this wasn’t always the case. At one time, the world was not seen as a random assortment of time and matter, but as an ordered whole. All the signals are clear: it’s high time we resumed warfare.
