Following The People and the Books, which "covers more than 2,500 years of highly variegated Jewish cultural expression" (Robert Alter, New York Times), formidable and perceptive literary critic Adam Kirsch now turns to the salient works of modern Jewish thought. From the vast emigration of Jews out of Eastern Europe to the Holocaust to the creation of Israel, the twentieth century transformed Jewish life. This was true, also, of writing: the novels, plays, poems, and memoirs of Jewish writers provided intimate access to new worlds of experience.
Here Kirsch navigates four themes that shaped the twentieth century in Jewish literature and culture: Europe, America, Israel, and the endeavor to reconfigure Judaism as a modern faith. Reading writers ranging from Franz Kafka to Philip Roth, Anne Frank to Tony Kushner, Hannah Arendt to Judith Plaskow, Kirsch's scope is wide and his observations diverse. Insightful and engaging, The Blessing and the Curse brings the Jewish experience vividly to life.

Beauty in the Pulpit is a co-author anthology about real women in ministry who have endured hardship, rejection and abuse simply because they are both anointed and beautiful. As a beautiful woman whom God has chosen, don't spend another moment on this journey seeking approval or opinions, auditioning for the requirements of others before you, instead become the great vessel that God has created you to be.
God knew exactly what he was doing when he created you and placed you in the earth for such a time as this. You were born to give birth to nations. Assigned to transform communities. Called to be the example for another young girl or seasoned woman that anything is possible when you trust the hand and heart of God. His timing is important and perfect.
Throughout the pages of Dr. Woodson's anthology, women will share their stories of triumph with you, as well as, their tears so that you can have clear pathways, encouragement, and the security of knowing that we have gone before you. I decree you should go farther than we did. You shall do greater things than we have done. You will soar above the challenges of society, and you will claim your position as an heir of Christ, and daughter of the KING.
Dr. Woodson has been anointed to set women free from emotional, spiritual, and mental abuse. Her desire is for you to know the truth and what God really thinks of you. You have been purposefully adorned in all of your undeniable femininity, anointing, power, authority and beauty by God Himself. This is no accident. Never forget that destiny is waiting for you and the great women of history's past are depending on you to continue to build a legacy where other women, just like you, will know that you were born for this.
