The Unburdened Heart
by Mariah Burton Nelson
In the five central chapters of this book, Mariah offers these original keys to forgiveness and freedom:
1. Validation: Talk to a sympathetic listener.
2. Compassion: Strive to see the offender’s humanity.
3. Humility: Reflect on your own faults and failings.
4. Awareness: Remember who hurt you and how.
5. Self-forgiveness: Open your heart to yourself.

Throughout this book, Mariah weaves her personal story: a dramatic and poignant reckoning between molester and molestee. Along the way she offers many other stories and struggles, along with experts’ insights about what happens, or can happen, after abuse, assault, neglect, murder, wrongdoing, affront, or simple misunderstandings.

Forgiveness heals. The one who is healed -- the forgiver -- becomes free from the pain of the past, and also free to love differently, and love more, in the future.

The Stronger Women Get, The More Men Love Football
by Mariah Burton Nelson



This eye-opening book links gender-based pay and scholarship inequity with male violence and male domination in sports and society at large. As this book points out, athletes who rape and male coaches who brag of beating their wives are often dismissed by our culture with a "boys will be boys" attitude. Formerly competitive co-ed sports have been replaced with sex-segregated sports after a woman wins against male competitors. Those dubious signals sent to boys such as "don't throw like a girl" are all designed to glorify masculinity and keep it safe from so-called female interference and contamination.

Explosive, insightful, often witty and always thought-provoking, here is an essential, in-depth look at America's male-dominated sports mania, and at the dangerous attitudes fostered behind the closed locker room door.
