This humorous, candid, and well-researched book is a refreshing and accessible guide to menopause for today’s modern woman. There has never been a better time to be a menopausal woman. After all, technology is such that sixty really is the new forty… But, for Christa D’Souza, menopause created more questions than she had answers for: How can I get through menopause? How long does it last? Is hormone replacement therapy safe? What is the point of us now that we are officially biologically irrelevant? Is there a cut-off age for wearing braids? In this fabulously confessional romp through the struggles of menopause, D’Souza shares her own insights on this phase of every woman’s life and the research that has brought her to some unexpected places—from meeting menopausal nuns in San Francisco to hunter-gathering with the Hadza tribe in Tanzania in her search for the answers to her menopause questions. She also delves into the latest science with experts around the world, discovering some surprising silver linings to this key milestone of maturity. An insightful, empowering, no-holds-barred guide through the mysteries of menopause, The Hot Topic is a treat of a book that will demystify this phase of life and have you laughing the whole way through!

The doctrine of hell as place of unimaginably painful torment where most of humanity will spend eternity is without question the most troubling and seemingly unchristlike doctrine in all of Christianity. Most modern Christians assume they have no option except to believe it. But what if there were another way to understand hell, a way that offered hope, not despair, and was as old as the Bible itself? In Let's Talk About Hell, Kenneth Myers looks at what the Bible says about the subject, and explores a view held by many ancient Christian leaders that the purpose of hell is not to inflict eternal agony, rather to bring even the most recalcitrant soul into union with God. Between the covers of this book you will find good news indeed.

The first major book to examine ancient Christian literature on hell through the lenses of gender and disability studies Throughout the Christian tradition, descriptions of hell’s fiery torments have shaped contemporary notions of the afterlife, divine justice, and physical suffering. But rarely do we consider the roots of such conceptions, which originate in a group of understudied ancient texts: the early Christian apocalypses. In this pioneering study, Meghan Henning illuminates how the bodies that populate hell in early Christian literature—largely those of women, enslaved persons, and individuals with disabilities—are punished after death in spaces that mirror real carceral spaces, effectually criminalizing those bodies on earth. Contextualizing the apocalypses alongside ancient medical texts, inscriptions, philosophy, and patristic writings, this book demonstrates the ways that Christian depictions of hell intensified and preserved ancient notions of gender and bodily normativity that continue to inform Christian identity.

That storyline drives Hell of a Book and is the scaffolding of something much larger and more urgent: Mott’s novel also tells the story of Soot, a young Black boy living in a rural town in the recent past, and The Kid, a possibly imaginary child who appears to the author on his tour. As these characters’ stories build and converge, they astonish. For while this heartbreaking and magical book entertains and is at once about family, love of parents and children, art and money, it’s also about the nation’s reckoning with a tragic police shooting playing over and over again on the news. And with what it can mean to be Black in America. Who has been killed? Who is The Kid? Will the author finish his book tour, and what kind of world will he leave behind? Unforgettably told, with characters who burn into your mind and an electrifying plot ideal for book club discussion, Hell of a Book is the novel Mott has been writing in his head for the last ten years. And in its final twists, it truly becomes its title.

A deadly new drug has hit the streets of Scarmouth, one which turns users into bloodthirsty maniacs with superhuman tolerance for pain. Through insidious design a large quantity has fallen into the hands of squatters occupying the derelict Victoria cliff hotel. It's a bad place for a group of woke, virtue-signalling social media influencers to promote their new homeless charity, but they've got a PR story in the making. One of their party is searching for a long-lost sister and if they can find her they believe the stunt could bring them international attention. Rhonda Caine doesn't care at all about the group's motives. She just wants to find her sister. The girl's been missing for weeks now and her life had been on a steady decline for a long time before that. She's not the only one looking for something. Hired muscle, Fred and Pinkie have been tasked to recover that lost drug shipment. They know what it's doing to people. What they don't know is just how many have been affected already, but within the bowels of that derelict hotel breeds a mindless, homicidal legion. Scarmouth is known as the coastal town they forgot to burn down. It'll only take a few hot doses to finally set it alight.
