Sometimes the person you most need is the one least like you.Kathryn Davies is a bright young woman from a prominent Phoenix family. But after making a leap of faith at a Christian music fest, dropping out of med school, and moving to inner city Chicago, her family all but disowns her.When Kat discovers SouledOut Community Church, she longs to become a part of the multicultural church family. But her tendency to immediately say whatever she’s thinking steps on the toes of nearly everyone she meets—especially Avis Douglass.Avis has a strong faith, is the principal of one of Chicago’s highest performing elementary schools, and is a founding member of SouledOut. But the country’s economic downturn has thrown both her and her husband’s jobs in question. And Avis hasn’t heard from her youngest daughter in months—an estrangement that gnaws at her every day. Where is God in this?Kat’s flamboyant zeal for living a “radical” Christian life is a stark contrast to Avis’s more reserved faith. But in God’s timing, the two women discover they need each other in ways neither of them expected.

Being a Grandmother and Mother made Carole Baird think of what she would tell her grandchildren about their heritage. LETTERS TO MADDIE gives life to not only her childhood but to her daughter's childhood too. Lest they be just stories, each letter to Maddie has a Postscript with a biblical moral and way to live the Christian life. Each letter comes to life with an exciting graphic for that story and becomes Carole's legacy to another generation. A fifth generation Texan, Carole Baird holds a BBA in finance and real estate from the University of Texas at Austin and owned her own real estate company. She was also the Director of a Ronald McDonald House for several years. Heeding the call to do more ministry Carole studied religious education at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary at their Houston, Texas branch for two years. She was a home missionary in Galveston, Texas, and as such was the Director of Family Life Ministries and Director of Women on Mission at her church. She was involved with GA's (a girls' mission group) and taught the two-year-old Sunday school as well as Vacation Bible Schools. Carole now lives in retirement in Central Texas. This is her first finished work, but two other books are in process.

Israel's National Identity

Israel's National Identity

Neta Oren

Lynne Rienner Publishers Inc
2019
sidottu
In a country whose citizens have experienced prolonged exposure to intractable conflict, are there unique features to be found in Israeli society's core beliefs? And how-and to what effect-have those beliefs changed across the decades? To answer these questions, the author deeply explores Israel's political culture. The author focuses especially on two circular processes: the two-way relationship between the course of the Arab-Israeli conflict and Israel's national identity; and efforts by leaders to shape that national identity while, in turn, shifts in public opinion exert influence on leadership positions. Drawing on extensive data including speeches, party platforms, school texts and curriculums, and public opinion polls, she offers both a unique analysis and a rich reference resource.

Catching the Torch

Catching the Torch

Neta Gordon

Wilfrid Laurier University Press
2018

Catching the Torch examines contemporary novels and plays written about Canada's participation in World War I. Exploring such works as Jane Urquhart's The Underpainter and The Stone Carvers, Jack Hodgins's Broken Ground, Kevin Kerr's Unity (1918), Stephen Massicotte's Mary's Wedding, and Frances Itani's Deafening, the book considers how writers have dealt with the compelling myth that the Canadian nation was born in the trenches of the Great War.In contrast to British and European remembrances of WWI, which tend to regard it as a cataclysmic destroyer of innocence, or Australian myths that promote an ideal of outsize masculinity, physical bravery, and white superiority, contemporary Canadian texts conjure up notions of distinctively Canadian values: tolerance of ethnic difference, the ability to do one's duty without complaint or arrogance, and the inclination to show moral as well as physical courage. Paradoxically, Canadians are shown to decry the horrors of war while making use of its productive cultural effects.Through a close analysis of the way sacrifice, service, and the commemoration of war are represented in these literary works, Catching the Torch argues that iterations of a secure mythic notion of national identity, one that is articulated via the representation of straightforward civic and military participation, work to counter current anxieties about the stability of the nation-state, in particular anxieties about the failure of the ideal of a national ""character.
