Sexual abuse can have devastating effects on a person's life. This story chronicles my forty-two year journey. It began when I was only nine and tells how I dealt with the abuse at different stages of my life. I have been told that God never gives you more than you can handle, but that doesn't mean He won't push you to the very limits of what you can take. Read how God used this to raise up a spiritual warrior!

The reconstruction and 'solving' of a previously unsolved and sensational murder, which occurred on the remote Carpentaria Downs cattle station in the Gulf Country of Far North Quensland in 1908. The murder of Nellie Duffy - housekeeper, governess and one-time mistress of the station manager Henry Wilson - was a famous case in its day, making national news for months (indeed it still lives on in the folk memory of the Far North today). The story is told her in compelling detail and a convincing case presented against one hiterto blameless individual. All the elements of a classic 'whodunnit' are present, an oppressed wife, a villainous, adulterous husband, a promiscuous governess, her long-suffering boyfriend/fiance, a hot and isolated homestead - plus bumbling cops, innocent but terrorised Aboriginal station workers used as scapegoats, a botched trial and a 'Nobody's Guilty' trial verdict!

This issue of Plough Quarterly explores the effects of technology on human flourishing. Whether its artificial intelligence, genome editing, Big Tech monopolies, or social media–induced depression, we live in a world that is being reshaped by technology from the ground up. How do we stay human? This issue of Plough Quarterly addresses challenges ranging from the lure of transhumanism to the erosion of silence by the smartphone. Technophobia is no answer, our contributors agree, but neither is a refusal to tackle real dangers. They ask: Why not try living without a computer or a television? Why give tablets to children when Steve Jobs refused to give them to his kids? Why write using a keyboard when you could wield a fountain pen? Technological asceticism of this kind won’t solve society-wide dilemmas. But it can help us maintain the spiritual independence needed to respond to them rightly. Also in this issue: original poetry by Jacob Stratman; reviews of new books by Ian Johnson, Steve Roud, and Markus Rathey; insights from Wendell Berry, Viktor Frankl, Ivan Illich, Carl Sandburg, C. S. Lewis, Alfred Delp, and Christoph Blumhardt; and art by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Jack Baumgartner, Nicholas Roerich, Rachel Newling, Kay Polk, Suellen McCrary, Stephen Scott Young, Jie Wei Zhou, Kiéra Malone, Torkel Pettersson, Mari Rast, Albrecht Dürer, René Magritte, and Kyle T. Webster. Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their faith into action. Each issue brings you in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art to help you put Jesus’ message into practice and find common cause with others.

Book One of the series named after it, Within the Walls is a fast-paced novel with a look into the increasingly digital existence of humanity. As media outlets, corporations, and advertisers seek to mesh simulated life with tangible life, the eventual collision of these two worlds is far from the minds of many who cut their teeth on mommy’s iPod® and have never known a time when media wasn’t a dominant presence or the driving force in day-to-day existence. Within the Walls brings us to the busy world of the character, Emilya, a creator of virtual vacations in the year 2071. What with micro-sleeping, sixteen hour workdays, and her total immersion in virtual relationships (both at work and in her flat), at 29, she hasn’t seen much of a need to think about anything beyond the walls of her highly productive life. But the discovery of a mysterious letter sends her world spinning. Enter the inner chambers of Emilya’s search for meaning. Take a careful look within the walls; her story may be closer than you think.

Thirty years ago, Chuck Berry starred in the seminal music documentary Chuck Berry: Hail Hail Rock 'N' Roll, which profiled the legend during a star-studded concert celebrating his sixtieth birthday. Now, on the heels of Berry's death, comes the complete story behind one of America's most enduring and embattled icons. Compiled as an oral history by the film's producer, Stephanie Bennett, Johnny B. Bad combines interviews from the film's participants, including its music director-Keith Richards. These unique interviews and accounts paint a vivid and multifaceted picture of the artist. Berry was at once a witty, articulate genius, now widely considered the godfather of rock and roll; a shrewd businessman, who had no trouble endlessly renegotiating contracts and refusing to perform until additional cash was gathered up; and also a convicted criminal, who in addition to serving time in prison for transporting a minor across state lines for "immoral purposes" had also been accused of sexual assault and sued in civil court for installing cameras in the restroom of the Southern Air, a restaurant he owned in Wentzville, Missouri.

Silence, Civility, and Sanity: Hope for Humanity in a Digital Age

Silence, Civility, and Sanity addresses the reclamation of civil communication and healthy public conversation at a time when people are very divided. Throughout this book, Stephanie Bennett focuses on the importance of silence to temper speech and embrace the art of listening to foster a more positive dialogue and civil society. Throughout this book, the author addresses the place of silence as a communicational good, intrapersonal silence in the history of contemplative prayer, the importance of attentive silence, the reflective use of silence, the ethical dimensions of silence, and the abuses of silence. This book also delves into the layers of technological advancement that obscure perception and act as noise that poses as silence, phantom silence. Bennett offers readers an alternative to the false binaries of culture-warring that plague our relationships, institutions, and public sphere. Scholars of communication, rhetoric, and media studies will find this book of particular interest.
