Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. EVERY WOMAN IS BORN WITH POWER We live in the age of low-rise jeans, belly-button rings, and backless shirts. Many girls and young women today could not even define the word modesty, let alone tell you how to live it out. Teen girls often ask: Why can't I wear what everyone else is wear…ing? My parents are hung up on their old sense of fashion. Times have changed, why can't I? Isn't is really the guy's problem if he is tempted? In a fresh and trusted voice, Dannah Gresh has a new message for them: modesty itself is a delicate yet formidable power. In "Secret Keeper," she teaches that modesty not only issues a challenge for one man to romantically earn your virtue, but it also expresses your love for and obedience to God. Includes "The "Truth or Bare" Fashion Tests" and "Fashion Challenges "that will resonate with a teen girl. At a time when many girls and young women today cannot even define the word modesty, Gresh teaches them that modesty not only issues a challenge for one man to romantically earn your virtue, but it also expresses your love for and obedience to God.

Mass Market paperback. Condition: Very Good. Thirty-First Printing. Corners bumped, a little edge wear, light reading crease, corner crease. Light tanning but text is clean and unmarked. A nice copy. ; Hercule Poirot; 6¾" - 7¾" Tall; 223 pages; Arlena Marshall's appearance on the beach had all the importance of a stage entrance.… She wore a simple backless white bathing suit and every inch of her exposed body was tanned a beautiful shade of bronze. Her hair was a rich flaming auburn. There was something about her that made every other woman on the beach seem faded, and that drew the eye of every male - except her husband. The Reverend Stephen Lane turned to Hercule Poirot and said: "That woman is evil through and through. Don't you feel the presence of Evil all around you?" Slowly, Hercule Poirot nodded his head. Two days later that beautiful body was a corpse, sprawled on a hidden and deserted beach - strangled.

Paperback. Condition: Good. No Jacket. The world of teen romance is sometimes chaotic and oftentimes confusing. What do you say when your 13-year-old asks, "How can I make a guy go out with me?" How do you respond to a 17-year-old who says she's in love? What do you do with a daughter who gets involved in endless hookups and bre…akups that leave her an emotional wreck? The answers, just like dating relationships, aren t always easy. This book gives parents a window into the teen dating scene and shows them how to maintain their sanity amid all the crushes, courtships, and infatuations of adolescents. Both the fears and the fun of teen dating are revealed as the authors look at some of its biggest issues: Age (How old should your daughter be before she starts dating, and what age should her dates be?) Car Dates (Does your daughter have an escape route if a good date goes bad?) Appropriate Attire (When skin is in, is a bare midriff, backless blouse, or plunging neckline being fashionable or foolish?) Gift Giving (Are gifts of underwear going over the top?) Internet (Are virtual relationships a safer, better alternative for your daughter?) Parents are urged to sit down and talk seriously with their daughters about the purpose of dating and to create family dating rules. Sample activities to help get the conversation started are included. Sprinkled throughout the book are real-life dating stories, many silly, some scary, but all serve to remind parents that dating is a valuable experience that shouldn't be denied or trivialized. Piece(s) of the spine missing. Due to age and/or environmental conditions, the pages of this book have darkened. Former library book. Ex-Libris and is stamped as such. Large crease(s) in the cover.

Variously called Australia's first modern poet, the father of modern Australian poetry, and "the master craftsman of them all," Kenneth Slessor continues to be admired in Australia and abroad for a comparatively small body of work. Yet one of his critics, Herbert C. Jaffa, has said that "som…e of [Slessor's] poems are among the most important written in English in modern literature." Backless Betty from Bondi was first published in 1930 as a poem to the flappers (modern gals) who moved to Sydneys Eastern Suburbs. Introduced by Julian Croft this is its first publication in paperback. Originally published in 1933, an Austral classic! "As In Darlinghurst Nights, it is possible to see in these poems the darker side of the Depression. where the verse shines is in the enjoyment of living. It is a world of externals: clothing motor cars, yachts, aeroplanes, the tatty and the fashionable. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

"We Kennedys were a dynasty of schoolteachers -- three generations of us, our sway extending from 1820 to 1919; just one year short of a century. When we took up the rod of office we were precocious youngsters. Grandpa, the most mature of the…three male teachers, was twenty, I was nineteen, while Father was only seventeen, with cheeks still downy and full stature not yet attained. I am not sure how old Aunt Caroline was when she began teaching, but she was somewhere near the verge of motherhood. Of course not one of us had had a day of professional training for such work. Nevertheless, Grandfather and I were both invited into the service by the school patrons, who regarded us as eminently qualified. Father any my aunt went into it of their own accord, but had little trouble finding places. When these three elders began their work, there was not even the semblance of an examination to test their ability and aptitude. Our three lifetimes witnessed an evolution from the most primitive type of American school, the isolated one-room log building with earthen floor and backless benches to the modern, small-city type, with all the rural district schools eliminated and one central, well-equipped plant for a township, and everybody riding to it in a bus. In that ninety-nine years we saw new horizons appear, saw our nation reach westward to the PAcific, saw the boundless forest replaced by farms and municipalities; we saw a new America built and American social life and education change almost beyond conception, especially in the towns. In the country, when I finally put away my textbooks, therre was still discernible a faint tang of our old pioneer atmosphere -- but it, too, was fading rapidly before the pungent breath of the automobile."

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Synopsis: The 1930s began somewhat unstylishly in the midst of a worldwide depression but ended as a dazzling and influential decade of haute couture. Influenced by the Bauhaus movement ("Form follow function") and the Art Deco trend, a coterie of brilliant designers set the tone for the times w…ith an exciting new wave of provocative fashions. Here, in a handsome, painstakingly researched paper doll fashion book, noted artist and fashion authority Tom Tierney re-creates the exquisite inventions of the top couturiers: Schiaparelli, Lanvin, Vionnet, Molyneux, Chanel, Mainbocher, Worth, Paquin, and others. Rendered in glowing full color, the collection comprises two dolls and 32 meticulously detailed costumes, accurate down to the last nuance of fabric and fold. Suddenly out is the "boyish look" of the Roaring Twenties. It is a more seductive line. In the 30s, skirts take on a clinging fluidity, hats get smaller, gloves of every length are à la mode, and the backless evening gown makes a dramatic entrance. By 1933, Paris turns to Hollywood for inspiration and film stars Gloria Swanson, Joan Crawford, and Garbo are the new international fashion setters. (Tierney's dolls bear striking resemblances to the first two actresses.) Fashion connoisseurs will delight in this parade of stunning costumes, featuring a navy wool frock with sable-bordered cape-scarf and muff by Worth; an elegant gold lamé evening gown with gathered peplum flounce by Lanvin; a Chanel creation of white tulle with sunburst stitching; Schiaparelli's "Chinese" taffeta cape and satin dress; and dozens of other inspiring designs. An informative text describes fabrics and accessories and lists the date of the creation and the designer's name. This charming, inexpensive haute-couture collection will appeal to paper doll enthusiasts, costume fanciers, fashion historians, and anyone interested in the fascinating 30s. About the Author: One of the leading authorities on fashion history, Tom Tierney created over 150 paper doll books for Dover Publications. With subjects ranging from U.S. Presidents to popular movie stars, Mr. Tierney's books are famous for being carefully researched and meticulously rendered.
