Chol (Mayan) Folktales: A Collection of Stories from the Modern Maya of Southern Mexico
by Nicholas A. Hopkins J. Kathryn JosserandChol (Mayan) Folktales deftly combines high-quality and thoughtfully edited transcriptions of oral storytelling with translation and narrative analysis, documenting and analyzing a trove of Chol folklore.

Fallen: Out of the Sex Industry & Into the Arms of the Savior
by Annie LobertDespués de más de una década siendo víctima de la industria del sexo comercial, Annie Lobert comparte no solo su historia de redención, sino también la de otras personas involucradas en el tráfico sexual.Cuando Annie pudo ver una oportunidad para escapar de su tumultuoso hogar de abuso, nunca antes había escuchado el término "tráfico sexual". Necesitando dinero, queriendo ser amada y buscando desesperadamente tomar el control de su vida, ella sucumbió al mundo cada vez más oscuro de la industria del sexo como una escort glamorosa y de clase alta en Las Vegas. Todo lo que brillaba no era oro. Tomó un camino peligroso hacia la autodestrucción. Perdió todo lo que imaginaba que su nueva vida le traería, incluso su propia identidad. Las palizas, el abandono y las amenazas de muerte eran rutinarias; a menudo se preguntaba si morir sería la mejor manera de salir.En este libro, Annie cuenta su historia extraordinaria de supervivencia en la industria del sexo por dieciséis años; una historia de liberación, sanidad, para luego ayudar a otros a ser libres también. Estas memorias fascinantes abren una ventana a un mundo sórdido y sombrío, y muestran cuán resplandeciente puede brillar la luz de Cristo.After more than a decade as a victim of the commercial sex industry, Annie Lobert shares not only her redemption story but those of others involved in sex trafficking.When Annie grabbed at what looked like an opportunity to escape her tumultuous, abuse-filled home, she had never heard the term "sex trafficking." Needing money, wanting to be loved, and desperately seeking control of her life, she stumbled into the ever-darkening world of the sex industry as a glamorous, high-class escort in Las Vegas. All that glittered was not gold. She embarked on a dangerous path toward self-destruction. She lost everything she envisioned her new life would bring her, even her own identity. Beatings, abandonment, and death threats became routine - she often wondered if dying would be the best way out.In FALLEN, Annie tells her remarkable story of surviving sixteen years in the sex industry, breaking free, finding healing, and then reaching back to help others find freedom as well. This riveting memoir opens a window into a sordid, shadowy world - and shows just how bright God's light can truly shine.
