With a foreword by Jane Goodall, this moving memoir follows a successful journalist and filmmaker who felt like something was missing in her life as she finds her purpose in advocacy for the Asian elephants in her childhood home town of Kerala, India. "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." - Mahatma Gandhi Elephants are self-aware, conscious beings. They can feel and grieve the loss of both elephants and humans. But despite all empathy that elephants shower on humans, we continue to inflict pain and suffering on these caring, sentient beings. In 2013 Sangita Iyer visited her childhood home of Kerala, India. Over 700 Asian elephants live in Kerala, owned by individuals and temples that force them to perform in lengthy, crowded, noisy festivals, abusing and shackling these animals they claim to revere for tourists and money. When Sangita found herself in the presence of these divine creatures and witnessed their suffering first hand, she felt a deep connection to their pain. She too had been shackled and broken for too long-to her patriarchal upbringing in India, to the many "me too" moments in her work life that were swept under the rug, to the silence. Now she would speak out for the elephants and for herself. And she would heal alongside them. This sparked the creation of her award winning documentary of the same name and a new purpose in this life for both Sangita and the elephants.

In 1889, Broken Shackles was published in Toronto under the pseudonym of Glenelg. This very unique book, containing the recollections of a resident of Owen Sound, Ontario, an African American known as Old Man Henson, was one of the very few books that documented the journey to Canada from the perspective of a person of African descent. Now, over 112 years later, a new edition of Broken Shackles is available. Henson was a great storyteller, and the spark of life shines through as he describes the horrors of slavery and his goal of escaping its tenacious hold. His time as a slave in Maryland, his refuge in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and his ultimate freedom in Canada are vividly depicted through his remembrances. The stories of Henson’s family, friends, and enemies will both amuse and shock the readers of Broken Shackles: Old Man Henson — From Slavery to Freedom. It is interesting to discover that his observations of life’s struggles and triumphs are as relevant today as they were in his time.

I am asked by many loved ones, why the title Breaking Shackles: The Story of the Lowly Dishwasher most often. My response is questions you ask about a higher power and or about self. Breaking Shackles is a profound series about a young man destined to fulfill a walk for understanding. That understanding as a guide and gift to reach peace and stillness on earth most likely a lost art to humankind. While not being a victim everything was afforded to me for as long as I can remember. For some reason, I found myself always rebelling, living in a single-parent home with nine other siblings. I found myself following in my oldest brother footsteps to over a decade of incarceration at the age of twenty. This is the true story of being alone thrust into the penitentiary system while being assaulted, robbed, vulnerable, and taken advantage of. In this heart-wrenching first saga, the author learns a new way of life which leads to a Sibilance of tasting ultimate enlightenment to share with the world.

Breaking The Shackles: Stepping Out of a Lame State of Mind is my tool for ministering to those who are in crippling situations; hopefully, it will be a beacon of hope for...the impotent folk, the blind, the halt, the withered, and those waiting for the moving of the water (John 5:3). Breaking The Shackles is an attempt to delve into the abyss of our helplessness and nothingness to help create an understanding of what it takes to arise from any lame condition. Breaking The Shackles could be considered an access tool, which will allow each of us to assess and access the possibilities of our faithfulness as the key to what it takes to stand firmly in the midst of our storms. W. N. "Billy" Graham is a pastor, an academic advisor/counselor, an adjunct professor of English and an avid photographer. He is married to his childhood sweetheart, the former Pamela J. Webster. He is the father of one daughter, Michelle, the grandfather of Mia, Benjamin, and Bryce who answered the call to preach the Gospel at age 10. Pastor Graham is a strong believer that "The just shall walk by faith." Pastor Graham resides in Midway, Florida; he is the pastor of St. Johns (Thomasville, GA); he teaches at Florida A & M University and takes photographs of the great canvases that the Lord unveils (on any given day).

First published in 1926, Madge Macbeth's Shackles is a controversial novel that examines the power dynamics of early Canadian feminism. The book exposes the struggles of middle-class Naomi Lennox between her role as dutiful wife to unambitious and proper Arthur and her desire for acceptance of her writing career. Filled with dialogue and debate that expose early twentieth century limitations and opportunities for both women and men, Shackles is a colourful and surprising depiction of first-wave feminism in Canada. This edition will include a new introduction by Notes from a Feminist Killjoy author and CWILA chair Erin Wunker.

Literal shackles are rings and chains around our wrists and ankles, ensuring that we stay imprisoned. The figurative shackles dealt with in this book are physical (sickness), mental, emotional, spiritual, environmental, social, and cultural. They still imprison us, because they create blockages and restrictions in the flow of our life. For anything to exist in this world, it must have form, or what is commonly called structure. Our society, family, schools, religion, laws, food, and medicine all create form for us. These forms support us, but they also have the potential to shackle us. Why? Because they tend to become self-serving, to perpetuate themselves, instead of flowing with the changes of life. As a result, we end up doing what others have been doing, based on the past, rather than finding out who we are and what would work for us in our lives in the present. So how can we release our shackles: what is no longer serving us in our lives? The first step is to recognize and acknowledge that something else would serve us better. Sometimes shackles release from only our awareness of their existence; or else the release occurs because our awareness leads to new choices in our lives, or we discover a new technique that shifts shackles. At other times, the releasing of shackles benefits from a helping hand. In any case, releasing shackles means, essentially, perceiving life differently. Part 1 of the book covers some common shackles. Part 2 summarizes essential background information. Many ways of releasing shackles have been coming to the world in the last ten or twenty years. Part 3 of the book introduces some of the ways that the author has been using in his energy-healing work with his clients (and on himself). Here's to a free and authentic life!
