Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In most cases references to God are in gender-neutral language. The Tetragammaton, the unpronounceable four-letter name for the Divine, appears in this translation in unvocalized Hebrew to convey that the Name is something totally "other" - beyond translation, gender, speech, and understanding. In some instances, however, male imagery depicting God is preserved because it reflects biblical society's view of gender roles."--BOOK JACKET.

Two people thrown together by fate. Bennet and Julianna must find the villain before it's too late. But the deep bond they forged as children quickly develops into an intense attraction. How will they navigate these uncharted waters when Julianna refuses to be any man's mistress? What options are left for Bennet when he can't make a courtesan's daughter his wife?

Download or read book Sex Without Consent written by Toby B. Simon and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual assault in the high school community is now at epidemic proportions. This manual provides information as to how educators and trainers can raise awareness about sexual violence and how they can educate boys and girls in high school about this epidemic. The guide draws on the Sexual Assault Peer Education (SAPE) program; it is believed that peer educators afford one of the more appropriate ways to inform students. The SAPE program outlines every step of the peer process, from recruiting students to actual workshops. The training program serves two purposes: (1) It prepares peer educators for their workshops; and (2) It opens dialogue among peers about sexual assault. The manual is presented in two parts. Part 1, "A Peer Education Program," presents ways to start and sustain a peer program. Included is information on organizational meetings, the logical presentation of peer sessions, post-training workshops, and some parting thoughts. The second part, "Activities for Classroom Teachers," presents five different activities that teachers can use to heighten students' awareness of sexual assault. Fifteen appendices provide bibliographic information, policy statements, sample recruiting and radio ads, rape statistics, worksheets, tips on facilitating meetings, and other helpful information.

Download or read book Jeff Buckley written by Mary Guibert and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The journals, notebooks, musings, and early song drafts of Jeff Buckley, the late singer best-known for the definitive version of "Hallelujah" and his classic album Grace, including dozens of evocative photos of his personal effects and ephemera. After the release of his acclaimed debut album, Grace, in 1994, Jeff Buckley quickly established himself as one of the decade's most defining talents in pop music: a singer, guitarist, and songwriter with a multi-octave range whose tastes took in rock, blues, jazz, hardcore, Qawwali music, and even show tunes. Hailed by the likes of Bono, Jimmy Page, and Robert Plant, Grace showcased Buckley's voice, passion, and influences and pointed to an inordinately promising future. Three short years later, at the age of thirty, he tragically drowned in Memphis. But his legend and stature have only grown since; in recent years, everyone from Adele to Coldplay to Radiohead has spoken of the impact Buckley's music had on them. For much of his life, Buckley diligently kept journals recording his goals, inspirations, aspirations, and creative struggles. These diaries amount to one of the most insightful life chronicles any musical artist has left behind. Jeff Buckley: His Own Voice marks the first-ever publication of Buckley's handwritten account of his journey from his days in Los Angeles in the late '80s through shortly before his passing. Combined with reproductions of other memorabilia--including letters, notes, and unpublished lyrics--this book takes readers and fans deep into Buckley's mind and life.
