They were not soldiers. They were farmers, laborers, teachers, lawyers, and tradesmen. Even a dentist could be counted among the ranks. In the spring of 1861, one hundred thirteen men from Chester County, Pennsylvania, calling themselves the Brandywine Guards, organized in West Chester to fight for the Union during the Civil War. As Company A, 1st Pennsylvania Reserves, these young men proved their mettle in some of the most horrific battles of the war- Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and the Wilderness, to name a few. Though forever linked to one another through the shared experience of war, when the dust settled, the lives they each created for themselves were many and varied. Follow this small company of faithful ones through the hardships of war and learn about the men they each became, the families they raised, and the many legacies they left behind. This is not the retelling of the Civil War, nor is it a military history- although there are elements of both. It is a very personal history. It is a story that reveals what the ordinary person is capable of when the human body and spirit are pushed to the limit and beyond. After one hundred fifty years, the Brandywine Guards are reunited once more.

"This is a terrific practical guide. You will benefit from the way Amy has broken down the overwhelming subject of marketing into straightforward and easy-to-understand topics. Soon you'll be enchanting your customers like never before." -Former chief evangelist of Apple and marketing guru, Guy Kawasaki "The book is FANTASTIC - it's not so much a 'how to do marketing book' as a 'how to believe in your business and succeed' book. It's so well written and easy to read that you almost feel like you're having a chat with the author rather than being lectured at by some 'know it all.' The ideas are so simple that its almost just common sense and yet most business owners just wouldn't have the time to think of them" - Lia Banton, Small Business Consultant "A refreshing 'let's get back to basics' guide to marketing. Novices and seasoned marketers alike will benefit from these surprisingly simple and often overlooked marketing basics that can, and should, be put into place to generate solid business growth." David Eichenbaum Author of 'The Business Rules' and CEO of Eichenbaum & Associates " Marketing is a conversation and Amy's book will help you take it to a higher place." Tim Sanders, Business guru and author of Love is the Killer App and Today We Are Rich THE essential marketing guide, immediately applicable and pragmatic, the book is a collection of proven strategies that show business owners exactly how to grow their businesses. But the surprising difference to this book is the compelling combination of a marketing guide and a book on how to believe in your business and stay motivated. We all know in business it's often lonely and hard to keep focused on the end goals, and this is the perfect book to help entrepreneurs keep energy levels where they need to be in order to be as effective as possible. Think a hybrid between a bestselling a self-help guide and a step by step, key in hand marketing guide; Jack Canfield's The Success Principles meets Harry Beckwith's 'Selling the Invisible'. Entrepreneurs often suffer from isolation and a drain on their energy as they try to be jack-of-all-trades in a small or non-existent team. Their days are so filled with running their business that they often have no time to think of new ideas for growing their business or increasing profits. They are hungry not only for new ideas, but for support. Often it's not just the lack of business knowledge that hampers entrepreneurs, but difficulty in keeping motivated and believing in ones dream. This book will give business owners not only a variety of easy to implement and proven marketing activities that will build confidence, but also what isn't normally included in classic business books to help owners stay motivated and not feel so isolated. In addition individuals are becoming more and more concerned with feeling good about their business, using ethical practices and understand that in this new customer driven/customer-centric economy small businesses must establish a win-win business model and marketing system. Ideas like CRM and customer experience are bandied about, but small businesses neither understand them, nor know how to even begin to apply the ideas. Win Win Marketing will benefit all readers with its uniqueness: -combining a 'self-help' approach with down to earth practical marketing ideas -presenting a customer centric and positive way to approach marketing and business growth -easy to read and understand 'sound bites' that a time-pressed business owner can easily understand and apply -providing insider tips and resources to make the ideas immediately applicable - easy to implement, affordable and effective tips for effective advertising, using referrals, harnessing the web, getting new customers, increasing profits and more. The traditional business book lacks the human element, which is captured and spoken to in Win Win Marketing's compelling combination of a practical marketing guid

The University of Arkansas has a celebrated history that includes not only winning athletic teams, but also academic successes.While most people immediately think of the Razorbacks in association with the University of Arkansas, the state's flagship educational institution has so much more to offer. First established in 1871 in Fayetteville, located in the scenic Ozark Mountains of northwest Arkansas, the first permanent building on campus, Old Main, is also the most iconic with its towers standing like beacons. In 1948, the University of Arkansas became the first Southern university to integrate when WWII veteran Silas Hunt enrolled in law school; like Hunt, the lives and accomplishments of individuals, such as Sen. J. William Fulbright and architect E. Fay Jones, remain intertwined with the university and the world. Students remain the lifeblood of the university though, participating in traditions like homecoming, Senior Walk, and Razorback athletics with fierce pride. The photographs in this collection tell the stories of the first 125 years of the University of Arkansas.

The importance of citywide festivals like Mardi Gras and Fiesta for the LGBTQ community Festivals like Mardi Gras and Fiesta have come to be annual events in which entire cities participate, and LGBTQ people are a visible part of these celebrations. In other words, the party is on, the party is queer, and everyone is invited. In Queer Carnival, Amy Stone takes us inside these colorful, eye-catching, and often raucous events, highlighting their importance to queer life in America's urban South and Southwest. Drawing on five years of research, and over a hundred days at LGBTQ events in cities such as San Antonio, Santa Fe, Baton Rouge, and Mobile, Stone gives readers a front-row seat to festivals, carnivals, and Mardi Gras celebrations, vividly bringing these queer cultural spaces and the people that create and participate in them to life. Stone shows how these events serve a larger fundamental purpose, helping LGBTQ people to cultivate a sense of belonging in cities that may be otherwise hostile. Queer Carnival provides an important new perspective on queer life in the South and Southwest, showing us the ways that LGBTQ communities not only survive, but thrive, even in the most unexpected places.

2018 Morris Rosenberg Award, DC Sociological Society In recent years, questions such as “what are kids eating?” and “who’s feeding our kids?” have sparked a torrent of public and policy debates as we increasingly focus our attention on the issue of childhood obesity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that while 1 in 3 American children are either overweight or obese, that number is higher for children living in concentrated poverty. Enduring inequalities in communities, schools, and homes affect young people’s access to different types of food, with real consequences in life choices and health outcomes. Fast-Food Kids sheds light on the social contexts in which kids eat, and the broader backdrop of social change in American life, demonstrating why attention to food’s social meaning is important to effective public health policy, particularly actions that focus on behavioral change and school food reforms. Through in-depth interviews and observation with high school and college students, Amy L. Best provides rich narratives of the everyday life of youth, highlighting young people’s voices and perspectives and the places where they eat. The book provides a thorough account of the role that food plays in the lives of today’s youth, teasing out the many contradictions of food as a cultural object—fast food portrayed as a necessity for the poor and yet, reviled by upper-middle class parents; fast food restaurants as one of the few spaces that kids can claim and effectively ‘take over’ for several hours each day; food corporations spending millions each year to market their food to kids and to lobby Congress against regulations; schools struggling to deliver healthy food young people will actually eat, and the difficulty of arranging family dinners, which are known to promote family cohesion and stability. A conceptually-driven, ethnographic account of youth and the places where they eat, Fast-Food Kids examines the complex relationship between youth identity and food consumption, offering answers to those straightforward questions that require crucial and comprehensive solutions.

Western evangelical and baptist theologies have largely avoided experience as a source of theology. By not seeing, or not utilizing, lived experience in its own theologies and rejecting it in "contextual" theologies, these traditions have failed to recognize the full presence of God as revealed in the world. Current theological dialogues arising from admittedly contextualized experiences, such as LGBTQI+, black, or various women's theologies struggle to find a place at the theological table, because they ring untrue to evangelical and baptist ears. What we are then left with is an idiosyncratic deity who mirrors the community in power. Theology in Many Voices presents an understanding of theology as a practice of the church, one that both makes space for lived community experience in theological content and also provides the means necessary for encountering, engaging, and incorporating the theological insights of the global and historic church into Western theological discourse. Amy L. Chilton engages the contemporary use of Alistair MacIntyre's concept of "practice" in theological method, particularly through the writings of James Wm. McClendon, Jr., to show how it can be used as a means of moving beyond the "Scripture vs. experience" divide while still retaining the norming role of Scripture and the essential nature of God's revelation in context. Two other figures illuminate Chilton's vision of experience-oriented theology, giving fuller voice to the church's witness of faith and practice: the Roman Catholic Jon Sobrino, whose work with the Salvadoran poor influenced his christology through his "Christo-praxic" method, and Muriel Lester, whose communal living practices influenced her theology of peace and ability to move across religious boundaries and shows how to do theology as practice intercontextually. Finally, whereas the methodological use of practice has found little in-roads to Christian doctrine, Chilton explores the doctrines of the Trinity and theological anthropology in light of the practiced contributions of the church global, especially women and the marginalized.
Lizzie's Light: Lizzie's Light: A fiction story based on a true near death experience.

When I was seventeen years old I was in a serious car accident. I was not wearing a seatbelt when the car struck at a speed of 75 miles per hour. At seventeen I was not a devout Christian, yet I had the wisdom to pray the words, "Jesus save me." What happened next was a miracle. For years I have wanted to tell the story of my near death experience but was not sure how to make the story around the experience interesting. "Lizzie' Light" is a fiction story wrapped in God's truth. Lizzie has recently moved from her predominantly Catholic neighborhood in Gardner Mass to a rural part of Central Florida. She is somewhat cultured shocked to have moved from an urban family neighborhood in New England to a rural trailer park populated with retirees. Lizzie is also dealing with the awkward feelings of adolescence and intimidated by boys. Lizzie has some exciting encounters while living the Florida lifestyle. The story begins with Lizzie getting in trouble with the park manager for helping to put a baby alligator in the community pool and ends with her and her best friend Lori accidently getting involved in real danger with truly evil men. Lizzie is confused about her own faith and will need to search her soul in order to heal. In the end, she will endure a miracle. The miracle she endures is the true experience I had at seventeen years old. Each chapter is forwarded with the true account of this miraculous encounter. May you realize how much God loves you through experiencing "Lizzie's Light".
