Download or read book To Drink from the Silver Cup written by Anna Redsand and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2016-08-08 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anna Redsand was sixteen when she heard her mother say of two women who’d been discovered to be lovers, “They’re living in sin. They should see a doctor.” She knew in that moment that she would have to leave the security and intimacy of family, church, and home―the only world she had ever known. As that world faded, so too did everything that had been religious or spiritual inside her. The journey was to find what she’d lost—or replace it. Was there a faith community that could accept Anna as a lesbian, a doubter, and someone committed to social justice? To Drink From the Silver Cup is the story of Anna Redsand’s quest. It took her from a devout missionary life in the Navajo Nation into the shame and exile of being unwanted in the homeland, and then beyond through the uncharted territory of different religious, spiritual, and political directions. Always striving for authenticity, continuing to long for home, forty years after taking leave, Anna embarked on a deliberate experiment to see if return was possible―or whether too much had changed in her and too little in the church. In the past, most memoirs about conflicts between fundamentalist Christianity and sexuality have been written by gay men. Few, if any, have come to the same resolution that To Drink From the Silver Cup does. This is a unique and memorable story with resonance for both seekers and those who have never challenged their held beliefs.
Download or read book Alcohol and Humans written by Kimberley Hockings and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use has a long and ubiquitous history. The prevailing tendency to view alcohol merely as a 'social problem' or the popular notion that alcohol only serves to provide us with a 'hedonic' high, masks its importance in the social fabric of many human societies both past and present. To understand alcohol use, as a complex social practice that has been exploited by humans for thousands of years, requires cross-disciplinary insight from social/cultural anthropologists, archaeologists, historians, psychologists, primatologists, and biologists. This multi-disciplinary volume examines the broad use of alcohol in the human lineage and its wider relationship to social contexts such as feasting, sacred rituals, and social bonding. Alcohol abuse is a small part of a much more complex and social pattern of widespread alcohol use by humans. This alone should prompt us to explore the evolutionary origins of this ancient practice and the socially functional reasons for its continued popularity. The objectives of this volume are: (1) to understand how and why nonhuman primates and other animals use alcohol in the wild, and its relevance to understanding the social consumption of alcohol in humans; (2) to understand the social function of alcohol in human prehistory; (3) to understand the sociocultural significance of alcohol across human societies; and (4) to explore the social functions of alcohol consumption in contemporary society. 'Alcohol in Humans' will be fascinating reading for those in the fields of biology, psychology, anthropology, archaeology, as well as those with a broader interest in addiction.

Book excerpt: A novel of childlike wonder and adult discord during the Great Depression—by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Nowhere City. Dozing in the back seat of her father’s car, Mary Ann Hubbard is the happiest eight-year-old in the country. It’s 1935, and she and her parents are going to spend Fourth of July weekend at her headmistress’s farm in upstate New York. Joining them are the Zimmerns, whose daughter Lolly is Mary Ann’s best friend from school. While the two little girls frolic in the attic, endowing the rambling old house with wonder, creativity, and imagination, their parents are downstairs, mired in all the pleasure, pain, and occasional childishness of adulthood. As an affair threatens to tear the two families apart, Lolly and Mary Ann retreat farther into playtime. By the end of the weekend, the girls begin to realize that becoming an adult and growing up can be two very different things. The National Book Award–shortlisted author of Foreign Affairs gives a joyous glimpse into the innocence and irony of childhood during the Great Depression. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alison Lurie including rare images from the author’s collection.

Download or read book Bibliture written by B. Conscious and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2017-06-19 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bibliture: Genesis—Ten Commandments, The First Seventy Chapters offers readers of the Bible a platform to read, question, and discuss the first seventy chapters of the Bible. The verses offer readers a seamless annotated summary of the story of creation through the deliverance of the Ten Commandments. Discussion questions encourage individuals to consider the meaning of the words used within the Bible so as to assist readers in better understanding the text. Following the verses and discussion questions that allow each individual the opportunity to form opinions about the text, Bibliture presents a commentary that is anchored in the understanding that the fundamental theme of the Bible is that all is interconnected and one. Routinely asking questions allows individuals the opportunity to consider the plot, the characters, and the characters’ words and actions from the perspective of the power they hold over each other and the level of awareness they have over their own life situations. Viewing the narrative through this lens offers readers the opportunity to consider our own moment-to-moment actions in relation to such highly conscious individuals as Noah, Abraham, Rebekah, Joseph, and Moses to name a few. In so doing, reading, questioning, and discussing the Bible can be a life-changing experience.
