The Eagle That Refused to Dance with Chickens is a metaphor that is traditionally narrated in two African languages, Kiswahili and Kikuyu. It is an Oral literature genre that communicates strength of self-determination in spite of gross failures. This story in particular, although has been modified to a great extent, is popular among the Kikuyu people who live in central part of Kenya where it is believed to have originated. The author has worked painstakingly to allow the same descriptive words and phrases in Kikuyu to be translated in English as verbatim as possible to fit in the story. Such endeavor is an attempt to bring the authentic texture of the story as much as possible to the Western world mind-set. Both the content and style of narration are aimed at addressing issues of late childhood and teen years, thus eight to fourteen years of age. It seems to fit such application because this is the time that children are intensely obsessed in searching self-independence and identity. Nevertheless, the story has been used as an allegory and adjusted to be applicable to all ages, depending on the purpose and circumstances. Quite often it is also presented as a drama or acted by children as one of the activities that would bring the meaning into the real life of the children

This book highlights the complex identity crises among many Christians as they negotiate their new identities, religious ideas and convictions as both Christians and members of Nigerian-African societies of indigenous religious traditions and identities. Through an interdisciplinary interpretation of religious practices and educational issues in teaching and ritual training, the author provides tools to help analyse empirical cases. These include the negotiation processes among Christians, with focus on the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria (PCN) and members of the Ogo society within the Amasiri, Afikpo North Local Government Area, Ebonyi state, in South-eastern Nigeria.Identifying the power dynamic, identity, role and influence of indigenous religions on Christians and the Ogo society, this book reveals the limited interactions between many Christians and members of the Ogo society. Questions explored include: what makes the Ogo society an integral part of the socio-religious life of Amasiri and what powers and identity does it confer on the initiates; how is the PCN within Amasiri responding to the Ogo society through its religious practices such as baptism, confirmation, local auxiliary ministries and organisational structure; and how does the understanding and application of conversion within the PCN impact on its members’ response to the Ogo society? Demonstrating how complex religious identities and practices of Nigerian-African Christians can balance mission-influenced Christianity with indigenous religious traditions and identities, this book recognises the importance of appropriating the powers of indigenous cultures, ingenuity and creativity in the construction and preservation of community identities. As such, it will be of keen interest to scholars of Christian theology, indigenous religious practice and African lived religion.

La Maison de Lumiere tells the story of the Lumiere family moving to the small, narrow minded town of Apple Heights Pennsylvania to open a New Age shop. Because the Lumieres are a bi-racial couple with twin, teenage children (a damaged, homosexual son, and a precocious, meditative daughter), they encounter considerable resistance from the bigoted atmosphere of the town. This comes most notably from James Christian Senior, a racist history teacher at the local high school where Morgan (matriarch of the Lumiere clan) has just gotten a job as the new science teacher. Little known to James Senior, his prized teenage son, James Junior, has been a closet Buddhist for most of his young life, and has been plotting an escape to a monastery under the pretense of going to college. As James Junior becomes intrigued by the Lumiere children ? first spiritually, then romantically ? events unfold that threaten to undo both families.
Just like our earliest ancestors, today we too question the great mysteries of the universe. Where did we come from? What is our purpose? Where are we going? And while we know more today than ever thanks to science and history, we can still learn something important from our ancient ancestors.Time Prison invites us to look back to our ancestors to find answers to some of our most pressing questions about not only the past but the future as well. Take a trip into the unknown mystery and explore the ancient Egyptians and the great mysteries they left behind, and as we take a journey through space and time to explore our ancient ancestors, author Elijah Hascorm will reveal the hidden meanings in holy scripture from the books of Genesis, Exodus, and Revelation.The scriptures not only speak to ancient events--they also reveal truths about the discoveries of science today. As we explore the good and evil that lives among us in modern-day society, we will receive a great message of hope and love.

The Palmetto Connection is an introduction to the world of Driftwood Veneer. Harbor Island may seem to be a vacationer's paradise, but beneath the veneer, evil lurks in many forms, serial murder, drug running, family betrayal and more. Welcome to a world where every action has a consequence, and justice is not always absolute. One man dares to stare into the darkness that lies beneath the veneer long enough to bring justice to the dead. Jon Lester thought being a sheriff of a small seaside town would be a walk in the park compared to his last job as a big city homicide detective. It didn't take long for Jon to realize he couldn't have been more mistaken. Author's Note: This book contains violence, sexual content, graphic language, and situations the reader may find questionable: dubious consent, masturbation, rape, lesbian and m nage relationships.
