Download or read book The Snare Is Broken written by Bruce D. Hughes and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruce Hughes is the founder of Broken Snares Unlimited, a ministry for those who have found themselves trapped in one of Satan's snares and therefore deprived of the joy that God had intended for them. He speaks from personal experience and enjoys a new life of freedom after claiming the victory found in Psalms 124:7, "Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken and we are escaped." Bruce retired after thirty-six years in the education and human service field. He and his wife Peggy have been married forty-three years and have two adult sons and five grandchildren. Hoping for insight and relief from the lingering effects of abuse, Bruce Hughes watched his world fall apart after being accused of engaging in unlawful online activity. With his pure motives appearing wrongful, Bruce was arrested in a sting operation and charged with possession of child pornography. Overnight, Bruce found himself living in Job's house, suffering loss, terrible heartache, and unfair consequences. His total dependence on God for healing and restoration packs the pages of this book with a powerful testimony. It is certainly evidence of God's loving heart and His mighty ability to break the painful bondages caused by sexual abuse and pornography. Thanks to this author for his enormous service to the Christian and counseling communities working to heal and restore victims of male childhood sexual abuse. It is greatly hoped that God will use this remarkable resource to bring victims out of hiding and into the light of His healing power.
Download or read book The Scandal of the Gospels written by David McCracken and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1994-01-06 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that the gospels are in an important sense "occasions for offense." The Jesus of the gospels is a scandal (skandalon, in the original Greek) and he is never more scandalous than when he is speaking in parables. Interpreters of the gospels over the centuries have consistently labored to domesticate the offense or to eliminate it entirely. David McCracken, focusing on parables, Matthew's narrative contexts, and the gospel of John, seeks to recover the gospels' sense of Jesus as skandalon. To this end, he enlists the help of Kierkegaard, the philosopher of offense, and to a lesser extent that of Bakhtin, both of whom prove to be surprisingly apt conversation partners for the evangelists.

Download or read book Mountain Arapesh written by Margaret Mead and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 1086 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For approximately eight months during 1931-1932, anthropologist Margaret Mead lived with and studied the Mountain Arapesh-a segment of the population of the East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea. She found a culture based on simplicity, sensitivity, and cooperation. In contrast to the aggressive Arapesh who lived on the plains, both the men and the women of the mountain settlements were found to be, in Mead's word, maternal. The Mountain Arapesh exhibited qualities that many might consider feminine: they were, in general, passive, affectionate, and peaceloving. Though Mead partially explains the male's "femininity" as being due to the type of nourishment available to the Arapesh, she maintains social conditioning to be a factor in the type of lifestyle led by both sexes. Mead's study encapsulates all aspects of the Arapesh culture. She discusses betrothal and marriage customs, sexuality, gender roles, diet, religion, arts, agriculture, and rites of passage. In possibly a portent for the breakdown of traditional roles and beliefs in the latter part of the twentieth century, Mead discusses the purpose of rites of passage in maintaining societal values and social control. Mead also discovered that both male and female parents took an active role in raising their children. Furthermore, it was found that there were few conflicts over property: the Arapesh, having no concept of land ownership, maintained a peaceful existence with each other. In his new introduction to The Mountain Arapesh, Paul B. Roscoe assesses the importance of Mead's work in light of modern anthropological and ethnographic research, as well as how it fits into her own canon of writings. Roscoe discusses findings he culled from a trip to Papua New Guinea in 1991 to clarify some ambiguities in Mead's work. His travels also served to help reconstruct what had happened to the Arapesh since Mead's historic visit in the early 1930s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive collection of folk hero tales builds on the success of the first edition by providing readers with expanded contextual information on story characters from the Americas to Zanzibar. Despite the tremendous differences between cultures and ethnicities across the world, all of them have folk heroes and heroines—real and imagined—that have been represented in tales, legends, songs, and verse. These stories persist through time and space, over generations, even through migrations to new countries and languages. This encyclopedia is a one-stop source for broad coverage of the world's folk hero tales. Geared toward high school and early college readers, the book opens with an overview of folk heroes and heroines that provides invaluable context and then presents a chronology. The book is divided into two main sections: the first provides entries on the major types and themes; the second addresses specific folk tale characters organized by continent with folk hero entries organized alphabetically. Each entry provides cross references as well as a list of further readings. Continent sections include a bibliography for additional research. The book concludes with an alphabetical list of heroes and an index of hero types.
Download or read book Ethnology of Vanuatu written by Felix Speiser and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in German in 1923, this work records much of Vanuatu's early material culture. It is the result of two years of field work by Swiss anthropologist Felix Speiser between 1910 and 1912. Speiser attempted to collect everything that could still be obtained of the objects constituting Vanuatu's native culture. Ethnology of Vanuatu presents culturally and historically significant photographs and drawings by Speiser assembled during the expedition, along with color photos taken in the Basel Museum, which, taken together, represent the Speiser collection. Through the use of Speiser's collection of cultural photographs and illustrations, it has been possible to revive certain art forms thought to have already vanished.
