Download or read book Living Beyond the Sanctuary written by Glenn W. McDonald and published by Faithwalk Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his new book, Living Beyond The Sanctuary: Discipleship in the Real World (FaithWalk, 2008), bestselling author of The Disciple Making Church, Glenn McDonald, challenges everyday Christians to live the life of a disciple each day of the week especially during the times when not in church. According to McDonald, "Following Jesus is an every moment way of being, not just a series of every-now-and-then religious experiences. We must learn to follow the trail God has set before us whether we are stuck in traffic, closing a business deal, peeling potatoes, or tucking our children into bed." Living Beyond The Sanctuary relies on the two greatest commands of Jesus: Loving God through "Godward" practices and loving others through "Outward" practices. Theologian Martha Grace Reese, Director of the Unbinding the Gospel Project and author of the bestselling "Real Life Evangelism Series," Living Beyond The Sanctuary travels miles beyond the merely theoretical. It rings with the glorious reality of the practical and the practiced. Jill M. Hudson, author of When Better Isn't Enough: Evaluation Tools for the 21st Century Church and Governing Body Relations Coordinator, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) adds, "Living Beyond the Sanctuary is a realistic roadmap for integrating what happens on Sunday morning to the daily grind of the Christian's week. It is filled with practical suggestions that are doable for everyone who takes its content to heart."

Download or read book Mother Camp written by Esther Newton and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1979-05-15 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For two years Ester Newton did field research in the world of drag queens—homosexual men who make a living impersonating women. Newton spent time in the noisy bars, the chaotic dressing rooms, and the cheap apartments and hotels that make up the lives of drag queens, interviewing informants whose trust she had earned and compiling a lively, first-hand ethnographic account of the culture of female impersonators. Mother Camp explores the distinctions that drag queens make among themselves as performers, the various kinds of night clubs and acts they depend on for a living, and the social organization of their work. A major part of the book deals with the symbolic geography of male and female styles, as enacted in the homosexual concept of "drag" (sex role transformation) and "camp," an important humor system cultivated by the drag queens themselves. "Newton's fascinating book shows how study of the extraordinary can brilliantly illuminate the ordinary—that social-sexual division of personality, appearance, and activity we usually take for granted."—Jonathan Katz, author of Gay American History "A trenchant statement of the social force and arbitrary nature of gender roles."—Martin S. Weinberg, Contemporary Sociology
Download or read book The Dark Side of Camp Aesthetics written by Ingrid Hotz-Davies and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Camp" is often associated with glamour, surfaces and an ostentatious display of chic, but as these authors argue, there is an underside to it that has often gone unnoticed: camp’s simultaneous investment in dirt, vulgarity, the discarded and rejected, the abject. This book explores how camp challenges and at the same time celebrates what is arguably the single most important and foundational cultural division, that between the dirty and the clean. In refocusing camp as a phenomenon of the dark underside as much as of the glamorous surface, the collection hopes to offer an important contribution to our understanding of the cultural politics and aesthetics of camp.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing Electronic Text Analysis is a practical and much needed introduction to corpora – bodies of linguistic data. Written specifically for students studying this topic for the first time, the book begins with a discussion of the underlying principles of electronic text analysis. It then examines how these corpora enhance our understanding of literary and non-literary works. In the first section the author introduces the concepts of concordance and lexical frequency, concepts which are then applied to a range of areas of language study. Key areas examined are the use of on-line corpora to complement traditional stylistic analysis, and the ways in which methods such as concordance and frequency counts can reveal a particular ideology within a text. Presenting an accessible and thorough understanding of the underlying principles of electronic text analysis, the book contains abundant illustrative examples and a glossary with definitions of main concepts. It will also be supported by a companion website with links to on-line corpora so that students can apply their knowledge to further study. The accompanying website to this book can be found at http://www.routledge.com/textbooks/0415320216

Download or read book The Women Could Fly written by Megan Giddings and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reminiscent of the works of Margaret Atwood, Shirley Jackson, and Octavia Butler, a biting social commentary from the acclaimed author of Lakewood that speaks to our times—a piercing dystopian novel about the unbreakable bond between a young woman and her mysterious mother, set in a world in which witches are real and single women are closely monitored. Josephine Thomas has heard every conceivable theory about her mother's disappearance. That she was kidnapped. Murdered. That she took on a new identity to start a new family. That she was a witch. This is the most worrying charge because in a world where witches are real, peculiar behavior raises suspicions and a woman—especially a Black woman—can find herself on trial for witchcraft. But fourteen years have passed since her mother’s disappearance, and now Jo is finally ready to let go of the past. Yet her future is in doubt. The State mandates that all women marry by the age of 30—or enroll in a registry that allows them to be monitored, effectively forfeiting their autonomy. At 28, Jo is ambivalent about marriage. With her ability to control her life on the line, she feels as if she has her never understood her mother more. When she’s offered the opportunity to honor one last request from her mother's will, Jo leaves her regular life to feel connected to her one last time. In this powerful and timely novel, Megan Giddings explores the limits women face—and the powers they have to transgress and transcend them.
