This book is a study of the early history of the lbadiyya in North Africa, a "moderate" movement among the Kharijis which from its base in Basra gradually spread among the Berbers of the Maghrib in the 750s. The Berbers found in this new religious allegiance an attractive ideology with which to rebel against the central caliphate. An Ibadi imamate, headed by the Rustamid dynasty, was founded in Tahart in 160 or 162/777 or 779 and lasted until 296/909, when it fell to the Fatimids. The book is divided into seven chapters, an introduction and a conclusion. After a brief introduction to the lbadiyya and a survey of the Ibadi sources, the successive chapters examine the nature and ideological underpinnings of the lbadi imamate and its consolidation in North Africa, the economic bases of the lbadi policy, some evidence of Christian support for (even influence on) the Ibadiyya, the tribal alliances of the Ibadis, and finally, the coune of lbadism after the fill of the Rustamids in 296/909.

"No Trespassing" is Elizabeth Navarette Savage's personal memoir and "gift" to survivors of domestic violence, as well as anyone who has experienced a traumatic loss in his/her life. Elizabeth met what she thought was "the love of her life" in high school, never imagining that her dream boyfriend would be her living nightmare.Like so many victims, Elizabeth ignored the warning signs, and by the time the abuse started, she had already given birth to her first child, was pregnant with another, and married to her tormenter. For eight years after that, she was beaten and mentally abused at the hands of her husband and the father of her children.Elizabeth's debut book chronicles her journey through a tumultuous relationship with a chronic abuser, which turned her life upside down and ultimately ended with the devastating loss of three of her children. Through it all, Elizabeth was determined to break the cycle of her abuse and loss by turning her pain into purpose, which she has masterfully done by telling her life-altering story in "No Trespassing." In sharing her story, Elizabeth's goal is to empower women, men, and teens to break the cycle of abuse and live the lives that God pre-ordained for them. "No Trespassing" will give hope to the hopeless that they, too, can overcome what may seem like insurmountable odds without looking back!Elizabeth Navarette Savage is a native of El Paso, Texas but raised in Amarillo (TX) and CEO of the Stand Together Against Nationwide Domestic Violence organization, also known as S.T.A.N.D, which she founded in 2010.
