Sub-title: How the Religious Right Fabricates Christian Values and Undermines Democracy.
A timely political book, HYPOCRISY, INC. exposes the religious right’s hypocrisy on two counts. First, evangelical “Christian” social and family values flatly contradict what Jesus taught and modeled in the Gospels, which evangelicals claim is literally God’s word. Second, the religious right couples these fabricated “Christian” values with conservative politics to form an ideology that is anti-democratic in concept and practice, while claiming to champion democracy.
This surprising and informative expose examines what the Gospels actually say about social and family values – inclu | |  | | Miss Lizzie's War

Sometimes these obstacles are blatant, more often they are subtle, but always they are undermining of self-esteem.
At the heart of women's struggles lies the "nice girl" persona, conditioned in females from earliest childhood in countless messages and expected by those ar | |  | | The Last Taboo: Saying No to Motherhood
