Sunday Dinners: Food, Family, and Faith from Our Favorite

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cowen, Diane, PUBLISHER: Andrews McMeel Publishing, A cookbook that feeds the body and soul, featuring recipes and inspiring stories from some of America's most prominent pastors, and encouraging everyone to come to the table and celebrate Sunday suppers with grace and good food. "Sunday Dinners" brings readers to the kitchen and dining-room tables of fourteen of America's favorite pastors and their families as they share their Sunday traditions, mealtime blessings, inspiring stories, strong family values, and favorite recipes. Research shows that eating dinner together strengthens a family's bond, and Sunday dinners are especially sacred. They are a time to bring everyone together, catch up, teach children manners and social skills, stay connected with teens, learn about family history and values, and nourish our bodies and souls. In "Sunday Dinners," the pastor-families who share their experiences are known not just for their successes in the pulpit and in their communities, but also for the strong families they have built. They preach it, and they live it, and that's inspiring. This is a cookbook to be read and savored, to remind us that no matter how busy we think we are, we can still take time to come together, break bread, and connect with family and good friends.

Jesus: A Meditation on His Stories and His Relationships

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Greeley, Andrew M., PUBLISHER: Forge, "We must begin our story of Jesus by granting him permission to surprise us endlessly...." ---from the Introduction Jesus of Galilee taught through stories, which even today contain the power to startle us out of our prejudices and preconceptions. Now Father Andrew M. Greeley, one of America's most beloved storytellers, examines the parables told by Jesus in search of a fuller understanding of the man and his message. This engaging and informal collection of homilies reveals a Jesus whose simple parables carry profound lessons about the Kingdom of Heaven. Along the way, Father Greeley touches on such provocative topics as the significance of Jesus's Jewish roots, his deep and revolutionary relationship with women, "The Da Vinci Code, " and "The Passion of the Christ." He also singles out the four greatest parables, which best illustrate the infinite love and mercy of the God whose kingdom began with Jesus and continues even today. As a storyteller, Jesus often surprised his listeners with unexpected twists that challenged them to see the world in a whole new light. Father Greeley's insightful tour of the Gospels provides a fresh look at the parables that strips away centuries of false and mistaken interpretations to get at the essential truth of who Jesus really was and what he believed.

Paths to Homelessness: Extreme Poverty and the Urban Housing

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Timmer, Doug A. / Talley, Kathryn D. / Eitzen, D. Stanley, PUBLISHER: Westview Press, This book is the first to combine a cogent explanation of the economic and historical causes of homelessness with accounts of individuals and families on the streets, in soup lines, and in shelters. The human side of the story, told from ethnographies conducted in three diverse cities--Chicago, Denver, and Tampa--shows that there is no "culture of poverty" that makes people poor, just as there is no "culture of homelessness" that leaves people without shelter. Instead, the authors show that large numbers of people became homeless through the processes of urban and industrial decline.Homelessness is largely an urban phenomenon. It increased dramatically when cities witnessed the simultaneous loss of low-income housing and good-paying industrial jobs. However, the increase in the number of homeless people does not suggest a special social problem--arising from the character of individuals--but is the result of social and economic transformations in American cities since the late s.In this book the words of the homeless tell the stories of people who were "making it" before but eventually fell into circumstances of extreme poverty. The many paths taken to homelessness, revealed in their stories, speak to the changing conditions of inequality in the United States today and the need for new public policies.

Enemy Clothing

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chadwick, Cydney, PUBLISHER: Five Fingers Press, Cydney Chadwick's first full-length volume of distinctive short fictions is once again available. As Norma Cole wrote of these stories, "Transparency fascinates when what's underneath might look the same as what's on top.

The Curtain: Witness and Memory in Wartime Holland

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schogt, Henry G., PUBLISHER: Wilfrid Laurier University Press, Henry Schogt met his wife, Corrie, in in Amsterdam. Each knew the other had grown up in the Netherlands during World War II, but for years they barely spoke of their experiences. This was true for many people -- the memories were just too painful. Years later, Henry and Corrie began to piece their memories together, to untangle reality from dreams. Their intent was to help others understand what had happened then, and how it influenced and affected not only their lives but those of all who survived. The seven stories in "The Curtain" reveal how two families -- one Jewish, one non-Jewish -- fared in the Netherlands during the German occupation in World War II. Each vignette highlights a specific aspect of life; all show how life changed for everyone, and forever. Four stories are based on the author's memories of his own non-Jewish family: Henry's friendship with a Jewish teenager; the conflict of personal antipathy with the realization that help must be provided; the Schogt parents' determination to do the right thing; the difficulties of coping with an aunt with Nazi sympathies. These are stories about the randomness of survival and the elusive nature of memory. For the Jewish family, three stories drawn from the memories of the author's wife and family demonstrate the bewildering situation of trying to make impossible life-determining decisions when faced with confusing and deceitful decrees. The family must struggle with the luck -- or absence thereof -- of finding refuge when forced from their homes, and with the perplexing inconsistencies of the collaboration of Dutch authorities and police with the Nazis. "The Curtain" emphasizes the difference between the options that were open to non-Jews and Jews in the Netherlands. Non-Jews could freely choose whether to actively resist the Germans, collaborate with the Nazis, or just to do nothing, and try to live a normal life in spite of wartime restrictions. Dutch Jews, on the other hand, did not have a choice -- whatever they did, whatever decisions they made, they were doomed, and it often seemed, when someone survived, just simple luck. A short introduction about the war years and an appendix with a chronology of decrees, events, and statistics, provide background information for this haunting memoir of those disturbing years during the German Occupation in the Netherlands.

Schooling Students Placed Risk PR

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sanders, Mavis G. / Jordan, Will J., PUBLISHER: Routledge, This book examines historical approaches and current research and practice related to the education of adolescents placed at risk of school failure as a result of social and economic conditions. One major goal is to expand the intellectual exchange among researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and concerned citizens on factors influencing the achievement of poor and minority youth, specifically students in middle and high schools. Another is to encourage increased dialogue about policies and practices that can make a difference in educational opportunities and outcomes for these students. Although the chapters in this volume are not exhaustive, they represent an array of theoretical and methodological approaches that provide readers with new and diverse ways to think about issues of educational equality and opportunity in the United States. A premise that runs through each chapter is that school success is possible for poor and minority adolescents if adequate support from the school, family, and community is available. *The conceptual approach (Section I) places the research and practice on students placed at risk in a historical context and sets the stage for an important reframing of current definitions, research, policies, and practices aimed at this population. *Multiple research methodologies (Sections II and III) allow for comparisons across racial and ethnic groups as well as within groups, and contribute to different and complementary insights. Section III, Focus on African-American Students, specifically addresses gender and social class differences among African-American adolescents. *Current reform strategies presently being implemented in schools throughout the United States are presented and discussed (Part IV). These strategies or programs highlight how schools, families, and communities can apply research findings like the ones this book presents, thus bridging the often wide gap between social science research and educational practice.

The Man Question in International Relations

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Zalewski, Marysia / Parpart, Jane L. / *, Editor, PUBLISHER: Westview Press, International relations is still very much a man's field. Questioning and problematizing the subjecthood of men, this book of twelve original essays examines the various ways in which masculinities are implicated in international relations theories and practices. The contributors argue that if the subject of international relations is constructed around men and masculinity, then perhaps destabilizing the subject of "man" will help destabilize the whole field in ways that "adding women and stirring" has not. The feminist modern project of bringing attention to women can paradoxically highlight the fluidity of the subject of woman rather than reveal the solidity of her position, however illusory.
