"Malestrom" on sale this week

A word from author Carolyn Custis James, author of Malestrom, whom I previously featured here:

Like many of you I am trying to make sense of the election. As I reflect on these developments, I am persuaded that it has revealed deeper, more profound issues. If the pundits are correct, and I think they are, white working class men, including a large percentage of self-described “evangelicals,” have played a central role in this election.These males are outraged by their declining place of prominence and privilege in today’s America. They feel threatened by strong currents of change—the rise of women, globalization, and seismic shifts in the economy and culture—and are determined to regain what they have lost. For many, their vote was a vote for a revived American patriarchy.This is all too familiar to me. The macho posturing and oppressive, demeaning treatment of other subgroups is at the heart of what I wrote about in Malestrom: Manhood Swept into the Currents of a Changing World. It is as hurtful to the men themselves as it is to those who suffer from their actions.I believe the hope-filled message of Malestrom is particularly relevant to this crisis and more urgent than ever. I feel a burden, indeed a responsibility, to get this message out to as many people as possible.So starting Monday, November 15 through Sunday, November 20, the folks at Zondervan are offering the eBook version of Malestrom on sale for $3.99. Malestrom is listed under SEX, GENDER & CHURCH
