Download or read book Love Riot written by Sara Barratt and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young people are walking away from the church and those still in the church often struggle with indifference about their faith. But it doesn't have to be this way. It's time for a revolution, a holy uprising. A riot. With passion and authenticity, teen author Sara Barratt calls on her generation to reject apathy and embrace a daring, costly faith. Not content with safe religion that demands nothing of us, Sara shows teens how they can stop giving in to the status quo and devote themselves fully to Christ, following him no matter what their friends do or the culture around them does. She challenges them to give everything over--their comfort zones, their time, their loyalties, their pride--and discover that in losing control they are gaining the life that was meant for them all along. Love Riot is a battle cry from one teen to another to embrace a life of wholehearted commitment and relentless abandon for Christ . . . no matter the cost.

Download or read book Live On written by Cydi J.C. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Bailey Elizabeth Baker. I've never been the type to believe in love or dream about my own fairytale ending. I never believed in destiny or magic, even as a child. To me, the idea of "soul mates" is something to be smiled at in movies while dismissed as fantasy in real life. There are those who believe in predetermined fates, that somehow the universe plans where you will end up, and with who, before you're even born. Those who find comfort in the thought that, no matter what they do, their destiny will guide them to where they're meant to be. This, however, is nonsense. There is no such thing as destiny or fate. All there is, is chance.

Download or read book Cosmopolitan Sexualities written by Ken Plummer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-09-26 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are we to live with the wide varieties of sexuality and gender found across the rapidly changing global order? Whilst some countries have legislated in favour of same-sex marriage and the United Nations makes declarations about gender and sexual equality, many countries across the world employ punitive responses to such differences. In this compelling and original study, Ken Plummer argues the need for a practical utopian project of hope that he calls ‘cosmopolitan sexualities’. He asks: how can we connect our differences with collective values, our uniqueness with multiple group belonging, our sexual and gendered individualities with a broader common humanity? Showing how a foundation for this new ethics, politics and imagination are evolving across the world, he discusses the many possible pitfalls being encountered. He highlights the complexity of sexual and gender cultures, the ubiquity of human conflict, the difficulties of dialogue and the problems with finding any common ground for our humanity. Cosmopolitan Sexualities takes a bold critical humanist view and argues the need for positive norms to guide us into the future. Highlighting the vulnerability of the human being, Plummer goes in search of historically grounded and potentially global human values like empathy and sympathy, care and kindness, dignity and rights, human flourishing and social justice. These harbour visions of what is acceptable and unacceptable in the sexual and intimate life. Clearly written, the book speaks to important issues of our time and will interest all those who are struggling to finding ways to live together well in spite of our different genders and sexualities.
