Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nominated for an NAACP Image Award A Publishers Weekly Top 10 History Title for the season Booklist's Top 10 Diverse Nonfiction titles for the year BookRiot's "50 Must-Read Poetry Collections" Most Anticipated Books of the Year--The Rumpus, Nylon A revelatory work in the tradition of Claudia Rankine's Citizen, DaMaris Hill's searing and powerful narrative-in-verse bears witness to American women of color burdened by incarceration. “It is costly to stay free and appear / sane.” From Harriet Tubman to Assata Shakur, Ida B. Wells to Sandra Bland and Black Lives Matter, black women freedom fighters have braved violence, scorn, despair, and isolation in order to lodge their protests. In A Bound Woman Is a Dangerous Thing, DaMaris Hill honors their experiences with at times harrowing, at times hopeful responses to her heroes, illustrated with black-and-white photographs throughout. For black American women, the experience of being bound has taken many forms: from the bondage of slavery to the Reconstruction-era criminalization of women; from the brutal constraints of Jim Crow to our own era's prison industrial complex, where between 1980 and 2014, the number of incarcerated women increased by 700%.* For those women who lived and died resisting the dehumanization of confinement--physical, social, intellectual--the threat of being bound was real, constant, and lethal. In A Bound Woman Is a Dangerous Thing, Hill presents bitter, unflinching history that artfully captures the personas of these captivating, bound yet unbridled African-American women. Hill's passionate odes to Zora Neale Hurston, Lucille Clifton, Fannie Lou Hamer, Grace Jones, Eartha Kitt, and others also celebrate the modern-day inheritors of their load and light, binding history, author, and reader in an essential legacy of struggle. *The Sentencing Project
Download or read book Women in the New Testament written by Mary Ann Getty-Sullivan and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the history of women, in religion as in other fields, is lost because it was overlooked or considered unimportant. It is therefore surprising that so many fragments of women's stories survive in the New Testament texts composed by men. Why did they include so many references to women and why are women, as a group, treated so positively by the male New Testament writers? Women in the New Testament shows how the stories of women are an integral part of the Gospel and its meaning for us. It also relays how we can respond to the challenge these women represent, whether we are men trying to understand or women trying to find our voices within the tradition of faith found in the New Testament. Chapter one discusses three women of expectant faith. Chapters two and three deal with women who are changed by Jesus. Chapter four focuses on New Testament women of influence. Chapters five and six show how women disciples spread and gave shape to the gospel message. Chapters are "Women of Expectant Faith," “Women Changed by Jesus,” “More Women Changed by Jesus,” “Women of Prominence,” “Women and Discipleship,” and “More Women and Discipleship.” Mary Ann Getty-Sullivan, PhD, teaches at St. Vincent College and St. Vincent Seminary, Latrobe, Pennsylvania. She is the author of First and Second Corinthians from the Collegeville Bible Commentary series, author of the God Speaks to Us series of children's books, and editor of the Zacchaeus Studies: New Testament series published by The Liturgical Press.

Download or read book Southern Girl Meets Vegetarian Boy written by Damaris Phillips and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Being a vegetarian doesn’t have to be boring . . . Damaris truly puts the South in your mouth and let me tell ya, you’re gonna dig it.” —Guy Fieri Damaris Phillips is a southern chef in love with an ethical vegetarian. In Phillips’s household, greens were made with pork, and it wasn’t Sunday without fried chicken. So she had to transform the way she cooks. In Southern Girl Meets Vegetarian Boy, Phillips shares 100 recipes that embody the modern Southern kitchen: food that retains all its historic comfort and flavor, but can now be enjoyed by vegetarians and meat-lovers alike. The book features Phillips’s most cherished entrees from her childhood made both with and without meat: Chicken Fried Steak becomes Chicken Fried Seitan Steak. Loaded Potato and Bacon Soup is now Loaded Potato and Facon Soup. She gives down-home side dishes a makeover by removing meat, adding international spices, and updating cooking techniques, and offers soul-satisfying, irresistible desserts that triumph over the meat-eater-versus-vegetarian divide, every time. Phillips found a way to make Southern food that everyone can enjoy, wherever they are on their culinary journey. “Love for a vegetarian may have driven Damaris to write this, but it’s her love for vegetables and her knowledge of Southern cuisine that comes through on every page.” —Alton Brown “Damaris Phillips has the knowledge, the experience, and the down-right courage to take on her native Southern cooking and turn it on its head . . . vegetarians everywhere will be thrilled!” —Bobby Flay

Download or read book Narrative Art Women in the Gospels and Acts written by David Malick and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Malick applies the hermeneutics of narrative analysis to select passages involving women in the Gospels of Mark, Luke, John, and in the Book of Acts. At times, the scope of this analysis extends beyond heightened understanding of how authors presented women as significant characters, and even foils to men, in the narratives. The use of duality and balance in the narratives of Zacharias and Mary, Nicodemus and the Samaritan Woman, and Aeneas, Tabatha, and Cornelius focus on what the author is doing with what he is saying. The use of intercalations, or sandwich stories, brings about heightened meaning when the stories of Jesus' mother and the religious leaders, or Jairus and the woman with a hemorrhage, or Judas and the woman who anoints Jesus for his burial, are read together in Mark. A first and subsequent reading of the healing of Simon's mother-in-law in Mark provides the reader with the first picture of true discipleship. The literary technique of a sign-sermon shows logical unity to what might be considered separate units in Mark and Acts.

Download or read book The Impact of Ordinary Women in the Bible written by Don Wilkerson and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2022-10-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ordinary Women, Extraordinary God In book two of Don Wilkerson’s series The Impact of Ordinary People, the names listed in each chapter are not well-known women of the Bible. But that’s the theme of this unique devotional. Adah, Bilhah, Jehosheba, and Huldah are just some of the ordinary women who accomplished extraordinary things for the glory of God. Scripture contains a supporting cast of men and women often overlooked in Bible study. This devotional brings thirty lesser-known women to life with short but thought-provoking lessons. Each woman deserves attention for her significant impact, but it’s God’s redemption story that is highlighted and woven through the lives of these ordinary women. For those seeking discipleship material for personal growth, this book will aid individual and small group Bible study. This devotional is also a helpful resource for pastors and Christian leaders to develop biblical lessons or one-of a-kind sermons. “The Impact of Ordinary People details the lives of obscure Bible characters with a significant impact on biblical history. These inspiring stories of women— viewed from a modern twist—will encourage you to keep reading. Don’t miss it!” —ANNA RAMOS, PHD, LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR (LMHC) “‘Some of our women amazed us,’ exclaimed a Jesus follower to a stranger on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:22, NIV). This was spoken before his spiritual eyes were opened to see the Lord. Don Wilkerson has opened our eyes to see and hear amazing voices of lesser-known women of the Bible. Many of them you will meet for the first time, learning the ways of God and how He has been speaking through women since the beginning of time. Read, learn, and enjoy this book.” —KAY ZELLO, BIBLE TEACHER, CONFERENCE SPEAKER “I was fascinated as I read through the stories of these lesser-known women in the Bible. Rizpah, Huldah, and Vashti are my favorite enlightening examples. As I devoured this encouraging devotional, I saw the intentional hand of God woven throughout history by His precious daughters being used for His glory. I was especially delighted to see Jael featured in this book! Our daughter’s middle name is Jael, as we love the story of Jael’s great courage. If you are a treasure seeker, then you’ll want to discover the other hidden gems of women like Jael in the Bible. But don’t take the word of this ordinary woman; read it for yourself and be built up in your faith today.” —MARIAH NOELLE FREEMAN, AUTHOR, FROM HEROIN TO HEAVEN
