Discover what true femininity is in The Feminine Effect.This is a message for all women: Conditioned by parental viewpoints and societal rules, women have long twisted themselves into unrecognizable identities to adhere to these demands—striving after power as defined by men, only to find themselves exhausted and unhappy. What if this centuries-long attempt to excel in a world with masculine values took women in the wrong direction? What if they no longer know what it means to be a woman? What, indeed, is the true nature of a woman?Chelsea O’Brien’s mission is to take women back to their authenticity—to who they really are—and she does this by asking women to feel and see her life as she did: a life that has taken her from the extremes of poverty and wealth, of great fear and power, of divorce and death, and finally into laughter and joy and unconditional love. She represents all the best and worst parts of being a woman, all the while confirming those inklings women have to follow their hearts that, up to now, they haven’t dared to honor.Guided by the mystical teachings of her mentor, Abdy Electriciteh, Chelsea uses vulnerable lessons around male and female relationships to redefine the true nature of a woman.

The Canteen explores the dangers of self-sufficiency and the profound lessons learned from stepping out into the unknown through the lens of one man’s African mission.At the pivotal age of nineteen, Kyle Gabhart embarked on a journey that expanded his horizons, challenged his faith, and allowed him to experience a world he had only read about. Traveling from Fort Worth, Texas, to Johannesburg, South Africa, he was confronted by a world that was as foreign and fierce as it was brilliant and beautiful. For nearly a month, he explored Johannesburg, Pretoria, the surrounding wilderness, and the bush in Zimbabwe.For the next two decades, his experiences continued to make an indelible impact on his life, opening his eyes to the realities of hunger and violence experienced in other parts of the globe. Before this journey, Kyle had little understanding of developing countries, and never before had he been a minority or spent much time in a place where English was not the dominant tongue. Those twenty-five days in May 1999 immersed Kyle in a foreign land with a radically different culture and transformed the way he sees the world.The Canteen invites believers on a journey of faith and discovery that challenges them to analyze the source of their confidence. Are they relying upon their own skills and assets or the Lord’s? Are they clutching onto something temporal as their provision or releasing everything to open their arms for whatever God has in store for them?

An investigation of the New Age movement in America that aims to understand its appeal to women and the self-proclaimed prophetesses, like Love Has Won's Amy Carlson, who've created kingdoms for themselves within it.   Known for deep dives into true crime, extremist ideologies and fringe subcultures, journalist Leah Sottile turns her investigative eye toward American New Age culture. Today, tarot cards, astrology and crystals are everywhere — from Instagram and TikTok, to upscale boutiques and pricey wellness retreats. Sottile investigates how the recent surge of interest in New Age ideas speaks to a culture that is woven into the very fabric of America, and how self-professed gurus like Love Has Won's Mother God and the mysterious channeler Ramtha have built devout followings because of it. For more than a century, this pastel-colored world of love, light and enlightenment has been built upon a foundation of conspiracies, antisemitism, nationalism and a rejection of science.   In BLAZING EYE SEES ALL, Sottile seeks to understand the quest for New Age spirituality in an era of fear that has made us open to anything that claims to bring relief — from war, the climate crisis, COVID 19, or the myriad of other issues we face. At the same time, she attempts to draw a line between truly helpful, healing ideas and snake oil. The new New Age is everywhere, and Sottile helps us sort through the crystals to find true clarity.
