The Scimitar and the Veil by Jennifer Heath
The Scimitar and the Veil portrays over thirty extraordinary Muslim women from the birth of Islam through the 19th century. From scholars to warriors to concubines and queens, The Scimitar and the Veil gathers scholarship about the women of Islam into one fascinating book presented for general readership. Based on sources ranging from Swahili lore to Persian pageant plays to Muslim feminist writings to the explorations of Western scholars of Islam, The Scimitar and the Veil is written in a poetic, sometimes humorous, energetic and contemporary style that will appeal to a broad range of readers. Muhammad was born to a widowed mother, tended by a slave woman, and fostered by a Bedouin woman. His marriage to Khadija, a wealthy businesswoman from Mecca was long, fruitful, and faithful. She was the first to convert to Islam. From Barakah, Muhammad's surrogate mother, and Fatima, his cherished daughter, to the Sufi mystic Rabi'a, The Scimitar and the Veil is the first popular history and overview of Muslim women and their great accomplishments. While there are other books about women in Islam, The Scimitar and the Veil is the most comprehensive and written in a style meant to appeal to a general audience.
Jennifer Heath is the #1 International Best-Selling Author of the eye-opening book Overcoming Lyme Disease and founder of the Overcoming Lyme Disease Academy. She has been featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, USA Today and the Wall Street Journal. Before Jennifer was diagnosed with Lyme disease, she was a stay-at-home mom of three children, who are now all grown, and then a Top Leader, Recruiter, New Business Developer, and National Conference Trainer for Silpada Designs, a Direct Sales Company, for thirteen years. After a horrific, multi-year experience dealing with Lyme disease, Jennifer was able to find the Secrets to Overcoming Lyme Disease. Since then, Jennifer has been coaching and inspiring Lyme patients all over the world by sharing what they can do from home to heal and where they should go for help. Jennifer teaches them about daily, inexpensive ways they can detoxify and nourish their bodies, along with ways to limit their toxic exposure to things they eat and use daily. In her book Overcoming Lyme Disease, Jennifer writes about her personal health journey and reveals how she healed her body from Lyme disease. She exposes the truth about our flawed health care system and explains why the #1 cause of death for a Lyme patient is now suicide. Overcoming Lyme Disease helps those suffering realize that they do not need to give up hope; it is possible to overcome and live a life full of good health and vitality. Overcoming Lyme Disease against all odds is the reason Jennifer wrote the book. She made it her life's mission to educate the public about Lyme disease and to help as many people as she can. Once Jennifer learned that western medicine could not help her, she started her own blog, www.OvercomingLymeDisease.com, to share her story and the holistic treatments she was doing in hopes of helping other people get better. Jennifer is one of the several caring administrators on a Lyme Disease and Co-infections group on Facebook. It breaks her heart daily to know that so many people are suffering in silence from the #1 World Pandemic that is similar to cancer and AIDS. It is the new Scarlet Letter, to anyone that has Lyme disease! It is going unrecognized and downplayed by doctors, insurance companies, and the Powers that Be.
