DOWNLOAD EBOOKAll parents want their daughters to marry godly young men. But which qualities, specifically, should they be looking for? What will you say when that certain young man sits down in your living room, sweaty-palmed and tongue-tied, and asks your permission to marry your daughter? What criteria should he meet before the two of them join together for life? What He Must Be... If He Wants to Marry My Daughter outlines ten qualities parents should look for in a son-in-law, including trustworthiness, a willingness to lead his family, an understanding of his wife's role, and various spiritual leadership qualities. Author Voddie Baucham follows up on his popular book Family Driven Faith with this compelling apologetic of biblical manhood. By studying the principles outlined in his book, parents who want their daughter to marry a godly man-as well as those who want their sons to become godly men-will be well equipped to help their children look for and develop these God-honoring qualities.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWinner of the 2013 Said Ghobash Banipal Prize for Arabic Literary Translation. A Land without Jasmine is a sexy, satirical detective story about the sudden disappearance of a young female student from Yemen's Sanaa University. Each chapter is narrated by a different character, beginning with Jasmine herself. The mystery surrounding her disappearance comes into clearer focus with each self-serving and idiosyncratic account provided by an acquaintance, family member, or detective. The hallucinatory ending, although appropriately foreshadowed, may come as a Sufi surprise for the reader. Less mystically inclined readers may want to reread this tale to construct an alternative ending. This short novel has echoes of both the Sherlock Holmes stories and The Catcher in the Rye as, in addition to the mystery and a murder, the novel contains candid discussions of coming of age in a land of sexual repression. Wajdi al-Ahdal is a satirical author with a fresh and provocative voice and an excellent eye for the telling details of his world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn Jasmine In My Hand, first-time author Mus White captures the world of Pia, a young Danish girl who whirls through time like a space traveler, alternating between an impoverished childhood in Copenhagen and what becomes a privileged married life in Los Angeles. Bringing a bold and original voice to her novel, White suspends the reader between rage and a state of grace. One moment Pia is an expectant granny, looking in terror toward old age. The next, she is the child tiptoeing past the dragon father. Then she is a twelve-year old minigolf champ; a young, depressed mother in Sweden; a middle-aged matron driving a Jaguar; and, in the end, the queen of the light switches, her metaphor for being in command of her own life.
