Not another book about what we already know, but one about what we overlook. In Ten Things They Never Told Me About Jesus John Bell explores facets of the personal life, relationships and ministry of Jesus which are seldom the stuff of preaching or conversation, but which are all rooted in the Gospels and are necessary if we are to be freed from the passive stereotypes which still dominate thinking about Christ. Much of the book is rooted in encounters with people on the periphery of religious life and in situations where politeness was not a prerequisite for discussing faith. John Bell is a member of the Iona Community, an ordained minister and an occasional broadcaster who lectures and preaches across the globe.

Reading Mark Strand is a thorough reading and critical assessment of the key developments in the career of one of America's most important living poets. Geared toward readers and teachers of modern poetry, this study is attentive to the uniquely Strandian poetics; yet in charting the progression of one poetic career, it provides a methodology for assessing others. It meticulously examines Strand's evolution, paying particular attention to the later developments in the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet's corpus. While espousing phenomenological ideals, Nicosia elucidates the vital elements of the Strand poem, defines the poet's vision and addresses the poet's overarching concern: "What can a poem do?"

Most people agree that Jesus Christ was/is the most influential, history-impacting person who has ever lived. The very dating system of the world attests to this fact and even the congress of the United States uses "the year of our Lord" as the phrase added to the date in which bills are passed by them. According to the Holy Bible, Jesus is much more than a man - he is in fact the personification of God and he existed with the Heavenly Father before becoming a man, born of woman by conception of the Holy Spirit. The scriptures also state that the "Godhead" is eternal and consists of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This further reveals the fact that Jesus pre-existed his birth as a human being on earth. He was in-fact "sent" by the Father according to the Holy Bible.

("ONE THING: The Goal of Discipleship--According to Jesus"...)
"ONE THING: The Goal of Discipleship--According to Jesus" is a life-changing study of Jesus' single comprehensive purpose for each disciple, why it is important, and how he works in and through us to accomplish it. Jesus clearly stated his goal in three major teaching sessions during his ministry. The apostle Paul, and sisters Mary and Martha illustrate the consequences of either pursuing, or being distracted from Jesus' goal for us. Written in an insightful, straightforward style by a seasoned pastor, seminary and Bible teacher, this book establishes the foundation for a lifetime of joyful and fruitful discipleship in following Jesus. Like all the books in the "Jesus Discipleship Boot Camp" series, this publication focuses on what Jesus himself said regarding the topic, by comprehensively surveying everything Jesus taught about his goal in the chronological order he spoke it, for maximum clarity and understanding. Since everything Jesus says and does in our lives is designed to accomplish his goal, this book is crucial for serious followers of Jesus. Aligning ourselves with Jesus' goal insures that we will experience the abundant quality of live that he has prepared for us in our journey into his likeness.

Orlando has been blessed with great and godly leadership in the city and the county. In Morphing Orlando, former Chief of Staff to numerous mayors, Randall James, describes the projects and people who had an impact on the growing up of The City Beautiful.” Bold, nerve-wracking, and even downright hilarious, many of the decisions and events he recounts are not commonly known to even the most avid government observer or newspaper reporter, giving you the inside scoop behind the history of this fascinating city. Randall James has been privileged to serve thirty-one years in government, including more than twenty-four years with the City of Orlando. In Morphing Orlando, he shares some of the behind the scenes workings that helped transform a small, quiet Florida town into one of the most desired tourist destinations in the world. Beginning each chapter with a guiding verse from Scripture, he gives you an overview of the recent history and growth of the city from a Christian perspective, including how: ? Jesus took a country boy from North Carolina and put him in places of authority and influence ? Projects were prayed over to ensure they would improve quality of life for the people of Orlando ? God’s grace was shown to this thriving metropolitan area.

(What is the state of race relations in the U.S.? Are we m...)
What is the state of race relations in the U.S.? Are we making progress toward ending racial discrimination and prejudice? What, exactly, does "race" mean? In Race in the 21st Century: Ethnographic Approaches, Second Edition, John Hartigan, Jr., takes an anthropological look at such questions by introducing students to the study of race through qualitative methods. In the first text to take an explicitly ethnographic approach, Hartigan summarizes and explains the current state of social science knowledge on race in the U.S., motivating students to think through essential questions about race in relation to their own lives. In contrast with many texts, Race in the 21st Century focuses not on essential differences between racial or ethnic groups, but rather on the commonalities. Hartigan concentrates on the particular contexts in which people actively engage and respond to racial meanings and identities. In this way, he encourages readers to think critically about the meaning of race. The second edition of Race in the 21st Century features a new chapter, "Postracial America," which examines contentious arguments about whether or how race still matters in the U.S. today. It engages students fully in the important question of what "postracial America" might mean or look like.

( How does one teach Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, a boo...)
How does one teach Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, a book as controversial as it is central to the American literary canon? This collection of essays edited by James S. Leonard offers practical classroom methods for instructors dealing with the racism, the casual violence, and the role of women, as well as with structural and thematic discrepancies in the works of Mark Twain. The essays in Making Mark Twain Work in the Classroom reaffirm the importance of Twain in the American literature curriculum from high school through graduate study. Addressing slavery and race, gender, class, religion, language and ebonics, Americanism, and textual issues of interest to instructors and their students, the contributors offer guidance derived from their own demographically diverse classroom experiences. Although some essays focus on such works as A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court and The Innocents Abroad, most discuss the hotly debated Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, viewed alternately in this volume as a comic masterpiece or as evidence of Twain’s growing pessimism—but always as an effective teaching tool. By placing Twain’s work within the context of nineteenth-century American literature and culture, Making Mark Twain Work in the Classroom will interest all instructors of American literature. It will also provoke debate among Americanists and those concerned with issues of race, class, and gender as they are represented in literature. Contributors. Joseph A. Alvarez, Lawrence I.

( Why has Christianity, a religion premised upon neighbor...)
Why has Christianity, a religion premised upon neighborly love, failed in its attempts to heal social divisions? In this ambitious and wide-ranging work, Willie James Jennings delves deep into the late medieval soil in which the modern Christian imagination grew, to reveal how Christianity’s highly refined process of socialization has inadvertently created and maintained segregated societies. A probing study of the cultural fragmentation—social, spatial, and racial—that took root in the Western mind, this book shows how Christianity has consistently forged Christian nations rather than encouraging genuine communion between disparate groups and individuals. Weaving together the stories of Zurara, the royal chronicler of Prince Henry, the Jesuit theologian Jose de Acosta, the famed Anglican Bishop John William Colenso, and the former slave writer Olaudah Equiano, Jennings narrates a tale of loss, forgetfulness, and missed opportunities for the transformation of Christian communities. Touching on issues of slavery, geography, Native American history, Jewish-Christian relations, literacy, and translation, he brilliantly exposes how the loss of land and the supersessionist ideas behind the Christian missionary movement are both deeply implicated in the invention of race. Using his bold, creative, and courageous critique to imagine a truly cosmopolitan citizenship that transcends geopolitical, nationalist, ethnic, and racial boundaries, Jennings charts, with great vision, new ways of imagining ourselves, our communities, and the landscapes we inhabit.
