Download or read book Ibiza Man written by Michael D. Lieberman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ibiza Man, Michael Lieberman gathers an array of inventive and unforgettable stories. In this, his second collection, he demonstrates his abilities in precisely distilled, unflinchingly honest studies of human connection and disconnection. From the deliverance of an English working girl's dysfunctional relationship to a spoiled aristocrat by the mysterious Ibiza man; the fate of a trouble female attorney's long lost lover revealed at a lunch with Mike Arnold; a rock star's return to his twentieth high school reunion, including a dance with his most potent past muse; to the punch line, the exclamation point to a well-intentioned, but disastrous family reunion, Lieberman evokes painful and tender truths, poetic, painful, and deeply political. The well-meaning protagonists of Ibiza Man are caught to both disastrous and hilarious effect in the maelstrom of family and social upheaval, life in the modern world, and the intimate connection between the foreign, familiar, and the inescapably human. In Ibiza Man Michael Lieberman delves deep into the heart of modern life in a work that overflows with hilarity, heartache, and irony.

Download or read book Personal Jesus Engaging Culture written by Clive Marsh and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pop music is now an ever-present force shaping citizens in the West. Even at funerals, pop music is often requested over hymns. But how does popular music work? And what roles does it play for listeners who engage it? This new addition to the critically acclaimed Engaging Culture series explores the theological significance of the ways pop music is listened to and used today. The authors show that popular music is used by religious and nonreligious people alike to make meaning, enabling listeners to explore human concerns about embodiment, create communities, and tap into transcendence. They assess what is happening to Christian faith and theology as a result. The book incorporates case studies featuring noted music artists of our day--including David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Sigur Rós, Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen, and Lady Gaga--and includes practical implications for the church, the academy, and daily musical listening. It also includes a foreword by Tom Beaudoin, author of Virtual Faith.
