Hemlines are getting shorter, stockings are being discarded and women are doing it for themselves. At the advertising agency of Bofinger, Adams, Rawson & Keane, three women - Desi, Bea and Isabel - are making their way in a man's world. For them jingles and catchphrases are easy - having a life outside the office is so much harder. Adulterous affairs, pining for an overseas love and being used to exact revenge on a former fiancée all take their toll on these three fashionable women. But the changing social landscape means there are surprises in store - and that love can be found in the most unexpected places.

Download or read book The Transgression of the Integrity of God written by Craig Keen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this dark, when we all talk at once, some of us must learn to whistle." In this comprehensive collection of his work, Craig Keen's voice emerges as that of a theologian who has indeed learned to whistle. In a day when much of what passes for academic "theology" is careful to maintain a safe distance from any determinate act of faith or work of praise, Keen evinces a single-minded determination to think and to speak, to write and to live doxologically. And whether writing or lecturing, teaching or conversing, Keen understands theology to be nothing less than an invitation to work out one's faith with fear and trembling. Throughout this volume Keen argues that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus disrupt all metaphysical attempts to determine the reality of "God," and suggests instead that theology is to be done liturgically and eucharistically--as the work of a people whose labor is carried out with open hands, free from all attempts to grasp and control. Keen discusses doctrinal issues--the Trinity, incarnation, creation--as well as a number of critical theological concerns--church and culture, justice, holiness, Christian education--in this light. The result is a profound set of reflections on the ways in which the word of the cross simultaneously transgresses our constructions of "God" and gives us to live transgressively in love.

Download or read book First Person Tales written by Gergana Apostolova and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2007-10-02 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book of ten separate tales which contain smaller tales and are interconnected in the manner of Scheherazade's stories, but disclose the intimate relationship of humanity and nature. The tales are based on the first-person-singular involvement of the reader who is the potential teller after experiencing the events from the tales. Some of the tales are definitely in the feminine, some are in the masculine, but most of them go deeper into the roots of our individuality where gender is only humanity. The action is set in both the real and the absurd adventure of our minds: growing to know ourselves while cutting through our fears, memories, daydreams and role-play games, likes and dislikes, evaluations and senses. That is why the action of the tales is like a relaxed revisiting of a picturesque dreamy land; it is like dream weaving in a motion picture where the colors of a rolling scenery are combined with real smells, sounds and the unbound ability to move through space and time and understand the language of every natural object whether a rock or an alien or a tree. The tales are told in an amorphous set of texts which is like the part of a single-person's mind life. This is the form of a proto-novel whose plot and subplots are not bound in a line of development but resemble a tree where each tale is like a golden apple, ready to fall into the hand of a willing reader after having sucked the juices of the mother-stem. The texts are to be used in adaptations: retold in the first person singular by grown-ups to kids or vise versa; transformed into game settings, into film versions, into drawing books, or into simplified texts to be finished by learners.

Download or read book Rowdy Patsy Tebeau and the Cleveland Spiders written by David L. Fleitz and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of rowdy teams, the Cleveland Spiders (1887-1899) were baseball's rowdiest. Managed by Oliver "Patsy" Tebeau, a quick-tempered infielder, the Spiders seemed to heap abuse of one kind or another on everyone--umpires, opposing teams, even the fans. Their aggression never brought home the pennant, but Cleveland's battles with the league's top clubs, including an 1895 Temple Cup victory over the Baltimore Orioles, are now legendary. Yet the story of the Spiders amounts to more than a 12 year free-for-all. There were top-flight players like Ed McKean, George Davis, Jesse Burkett, and Cy Young. There was the racially progressive signing of Holy Cross star Louis Sockalexis, the first American Indian in the major leagues. And then there was the team's final season, 1899, when a club ravaged by syndicalism set the standard for baseball futility.
