Dear Reader, For the past forty years I've had the great pleasure of teaching schoolchildren, college students, businesspeople, brides- and grooms-to-be, and other Americans the simple joy of behaving with courtesy and style. With my sixteenth book I'm thrilled to be sharing with you a complete handbook for old-fashioned and effortless etiquette for the twenty-first century. Never have thoughtfulness and care been more important in our lives-- from shared conversations at the family dinner table to two-line E-mails written in haste. I hope this book helps bring the joys of graciousness, kindness, and civility to your home and your life. Yours fondly, Marjabelle Young Stewart

When recording the stories of daring human exploits, the authors of the Bible seemed to have concentrated on the heroic men of ancient times, such as Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David, Jesus, Peter, Paul, and John, to name just a few. The stories of those courageous men are thrilling to hear and to read about; however, this narrative will consider the strong, brave, and valiant women in the Bible whose lives were not as embellished as their famous counterparts, but still were influential in shaping the history of biblical times. According to Dr. Lockyer in All the Women of the Bible, there are approximately two hundred named women in the Bible and an equal number of unnamed women. Out of the sixty-six books contained in the Holy Bible, there are only two of them named for women—Ruth and Esther; nevertheless, women can be seen throughout the Old and the New Testaments being used by God in mighty ways. Despite the patriarchal society of biblical days, there were strong women who played significant roles in leadership, courage, humility, and compassion in ancient times. The purpose of this writing is to highlight a few of these women and to give the reader insight into the character of each individual. It will also tell of the motivation for the strength of each one and the consequences of her actions.

New from Bradt is the thoroughly updated fifth edition of Lille, the award-winning and critically acclaimed guidebook to this exciting, ever-changing and easily accessible city in Hauts-de-France – the ultimate destination for a city break. Lille’s architecture blends the 16th-century cobbled streets typical of old Flanders and the imposing fortress and parks of Louis XIV’s France with converted former factories now serving as modern cultural venues. Here history refuses to stand still, and the city has not stopped finding new ways to celebrate its traditions, routinely toasting contemporary innovations. One of France’s leading centres for gastronomy, Lille constantly re-invents itself with ever more exciting places to eat – whether you share a sandwich with artists in a former post office building or seek out tomorrow’s Michelin-starred chefs – plus new places to explore, relax and stay. Being elected European Capital of Culture in 2004 led to Lille becoming one of France’s most cultural and artistic cities – and arguably its party capital too. With Bradt’s Lille, dance a Sunday-night tango with strangers in a Renaissance cloister, or order onion soup at dawn. You can admire France’s best art collection outside Paris, attend a biennial international arts festival or head for the amazing museums and sites in nearby towns, linked by an excellent metro and tram network. Alternatively, you might go shopping in Lille’s famous discount designer stores or at its legendary kerbside flea markets. Or venture beyond the city to discover the patchwork of history that characterises northern France, from Henry V’s battle of Agincourt to World War I trenches and the beaches of Dunkirk. New elements of this edition include a special feature on the Lille3000 international arts festival; coverage of self-drive possibilities, food festivals, World War tourist destinations, and both new and expanded museums and art galleries; and updated or wholly new reviews of the best places to eat, drink and stay (the latter now including self-catering options). With easy Eurostar access from the UK (plus high-speed train links from other French cities, and Brussels), Lille is the perfect short-haul getaway – with Bradt’s Lille guidebook the consummate companion.
