Behind a gruesome ISIS beheading video lies the untold story of the men in orange and the faith community that formed these unlikely modern-day saints and heroes. In a carefully choreographed propaganda video released in February 2015, ISIS militants behead twenty-one orange-clad Christian men on a Libyan beach. In the West, daily reports of new atrocities may have displaced the memory of this particularly vile event. But not in the world from which the murdered came. All but one were young Coptic Christian migrant workers from Egypt. Acclaimed literary writer Martin Mosebach traveled to the Egyptian village of El-Aour to meet their families and better understand the faith and culture that shaped such conviction. He finds himself welcomed into simple concrete homes through which swallows dart. Portraits of Jesus and Mary hang on the walls along with roughhewn shrines to now-famous loved ones. Mosebach is amazed time and again as, surrounded by children and goats, the bereaved replay the cruel propaganda video on an iPad. There is never any talk of revenge, but only the pride of having a martyr in the family, a saint in heaven. "The 21" appear on icons crowned like kings, celebrated even as their community grieves. A skeptical Westerner, Mosebach finds himself a stranger in this world in which everything is the reflection or fulfillment of biblical events, and facing persecution with courage is part of daily life. In twenty-one symbolic chapters, each preceded by a picture, Mosebach offers a travelogue of his encounter with a foreign culture and a church that has preserved the faith and liturgy of early Christianity - the "Church of the Martyrs." As a religious minority in Muslim Egypt, the Copts find themselves caught in a clash of civilizations. This book, then, is also an account of the spiritual life of an Arab country stretched between extremism and pluralism, between a rich biblical past and the shopping centers of New Cairo.Binding Type: Hardcover

Decent

Not sure why there’s so many settings I just use the clean one lol but pretty nice battery lasts about a month. Kind of loud but the bristles are soft and nice.

Great value, good suds, good quality, good for the environment
Color: 5 Pack
Goodness I love these.
I moved within the last several months, and my new town and state is not as on top of recycling as my old state was. This isnt a super huge problem, but it meant I had to start finding ways to reduce my refuse. Less bottles.
So naturally I switched to bar soap. I also knew I wanted to stop using those plastic net poofs. I didnt have easy access to a washer, and I hate laundry anyway.. so washcloths arent a huge part of my life.
What was a girl to do?
Buy these.
Thats what everyone should do.
They hang nice. My soap dries. It exfoliates amazingly without being too rough. I tried another brand before this and it was *blows raspberry* 💩. Fell apart super easy, didnt suds up well.. just no.
But this one I love. The soap I bought fit just fine, but took up the whole net. I didnt like that. It didnt dry as well or suds up at all. So I started cutting my soap in half and now it works GREAT.
Warning - its not good on your private bits. Itll scratch you the heck up. You shouldnt be using anything on your private bits other than soap and your hand anyway. I also recommend harder bars of soap. Super soft super lotion infused bars dont seem to hold up as well.
If youre trying to reduce your plastic waste and like feeling amazingly exfoliated, this is for you.

This handy little tool holds my soap and exfoliates my skin gently.
Color: 5 Pack
I bought this as a bag for my new shampoo bar so it'll last longer. This bag generates a nice lather, hangs off my shower caddy, and allows the bar to dry between uses. Makes shampoo bars much more convenient. The texture of the pouch remains scratchy after 3 or 4 uses so far but it produces a good amount of lather in combination with my bar soap. Hoping it softens up with use. Very good for exfoliating! The bag does have a canvas scent to it, but once you add water and lather up the soap inside it disappears. I love this bag. We always have a bunch of soap pieces in a basket on our tub, and now we can use them till there’s nothing left! My husband's biggest complaint when convincing him to switch to bar soaps with me was that they are so slippery in the shower and difficult to use. This thing is the ANSWER! It's the perfect sudsy, exfoliating grip for bar soaps that is still eco friendly - plus, the string is great for hanging on the shower head after!

An Eco-Friendly Solution for a Zero Waste Bathroom
Color: 5 Pack
I recently purchased the E-Know Soap Bag 5 Pack, and I am extremely satisfied with my decision to make this eco-friendly switch in my bathroom routine. These natural sisal soap savers not only promote zero waste and plastic-free living, but they also provide a range of benefits that make them a perfect addition to any bathroom.
The soap bags are made from high-quality natural sisal, which is a sustainable, biodegradable material. This means that once the soap saver reaches the end of its life, I can dispose of it without worrying about contributing to environmental pollution. The soap bags are also very durable and can withstand daily use without falling apart or losing their shape.
One of the key benefits of using these soap savers is that they help extend the life of my soap bars. The bags create a rich lather while gently exfoliating my skin, ensuring I get the most out of each soap bar. The soap saver also prevents the soap from becoming soggy, as it allows for proper air circulation and drainage, keeping the soap dry between uses.
The E-Know Soap Bag pack comes with 5 soap savers, which is great value for money. I can use them for different soap bars or share them with my family members. The drawstring closure makes it easy to insert and remove the soap, and it also allows me to hang the soap saver up to dry after use.
In summary, the E-Know Soap Bag 5 Pack has been a fantastic addition to my bathroom routine. It promotes a more sustainable, plastic-free lifestyle while providing the benefits of a gentle exfoliating scrub and longer-lasting soap. I highly recommend these soap savers to anyone looking to make eco-friendly changes in their daily life.
