Epic poetry and tragic drama provide us with some of the richest ancient Greek depictions of women who are married to soldiers. In tales of the Trojan War, as told by Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, we encounter these mythical warriors' wives: Penelope, isolated but resourceful as she awaits the return of Odysseus after his lengthy absence; the war widow Andromache, enslaved and displaced from her homeland after the fall of Troy; the unfaithful and murderous Clytemnestra; and Tecmessa, a war captive who witnesses her partner's breakdown and suicide in the aftermath of battle. Warriors' Wives compares the experiences of these mythical characters with those of contemporary military spouses. Emma Bridges traces aspects of the lives of warriors' wives—mythical and real, ancient and modern—from the moment of farewell, through periods of separation and reunion, to the often traumatic aftermath of war, to consider the emotional, psychological, and social impacts of life as a military spouse. By unearthing a wealth of contemporary evidence for the lives of the often silenced and unacknowledged partners of those who serve in the military, and by examining this alongside the ancient stories of warriors' wives, Warriors' Wives sheds fresh light on the experience of being married to the military.

This book documents my unique, firsthand experiences as a spiritual warrior for the Lord Jesus Christ. For the past fifteen years, I have been battling evil entities in the spiritual realm, and thanks to the Lord, I have successfully overcome them. To begin, the Lord had to teach me how to enter the spiritual dimension and travel outside of my physical body. This book details my becoming a spiritual warrior of the Lord. The Lord called me to my mission in 1984 when I was visited by the Blessed Mother, who gave me the Lord's graces and blessings and awakened me to my spirituality. Since then, the Holy Spirit has guided me, increasing my acceptance that I had a special gift. As a truly charismatic Christian, I have been blessed with the miraculous gift of being groomed by the Holy Spirit to fight spiritual battles on behalf of those whom the Lord has guided to me. The Holy Spirit has taught me how to fight these battles not in the physical world but in the spiritual realm of our Lord. Through this miracle, I have traveled to the stars and beyond, to far distant planets, and to other dimensions outside of our galaxy to do the work of our Lord. This book documents my fifteen years of experience as a spiritual warrior. In a world full of ever-increasing reports about people who have had spiritual encounters, I have experienced life after death, and as a warrior, I have personally battled evil entities. In 2014, I received a message from the Lord that instead of visiting people in their homes to pray for them, I needed to write a book on my spiritual battles. By writing the book, it would enable me to help not just hundreds of people but literally thousands throughout the world. I believe our salvation depends on having a deep awareness and understanding of our spirituality. People also need to connect with their spiritual side in order to become successful and fulfilled in life. We all want to live life to the fullest. This book will help the reader to accept the Lord's blessings and the Lord's graces, unlocking the secrets of your spirituality. It will give people hope and increase their faith.
This book is about the women who serve the military as wives and those who serve as soldiers, sailors, and flyers. Comparing wives and warriors in the U.S. and Canada, it examines how the military in both countries constructs gender to exclude women from being respected as equals to men. Written by a wide range of scholars and military personnel, the book covers such contemporary issues as the opening of military academies to women, the opening of combat posts to women, the experience of being a wife in the two-person career of an officer-husband, sexual harassment, turnover of women in the armed services, and U.S. and Canadian policies allowing gays and lesbians to serve in the military. Part of an emerging feminist scholarship in military studies, this work also explores how gender has been constructed to maintain the status quo and women's narrowly defined roles as the dependent helpmates of men.
Suggesting new ways to read Old Testament narrative and giving reasons why we should, Esler, with the aid of Mediterranean anthropology, sets out an approach that helps us to interpret a selection of narratives with a cultural understanding close to that of an ancient Israelite. Interpreted in this way, these narratives allow us to refresh the memory that links us with pivotal stories in Jewish and Christian identities and how they foster our capacity for intercultural understanding.

The call came down from Command, and your warrior husband is out the door, leaving you behind to handle whatever he has left undone. Whether it’s the day-to-day monotony, the inevitable appliance that breaks, or the months without his presence beside you, being a military spouse brings challenges few appreciate. Yet God sees you and longs for you to boldly step into His plan. He purposely chose you for this moment—for your man. He wants to give you abundantly more than what you have right now and desires you to thrive as your warrior’s bride.
