A Long Obedience in the Same Direction

A Long Obedience in the Same Direction

INTERVARSITY PRESS

nidottu
Over 300,000 Copies SoldSince Eugene Peterson first wrote this spiritual formation classic more than forty years ago, hundreds of thousands of Christians have been inspired by its call to deeper discipleship. As a society, we are still obsessed with the immediate, but Peterson's time-tested prescription for discipleship remains the same--a long obedience in the same direction.Long obedience requires a deepening life of prayer. Peterson finds encouragement for today's pilgrims in the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120-134), sung by travelers on their way to worship in Jerusalem. With prophetic and pastoral wisdom, Peterson shows how the psalms teach us to grow in worship, service, joy, work, happiness, humility, community, and blessing.This commemorative edition of A Long Obedience in the Same Direction includes a preface taken from Leif Peterson's eulogy at his father's memorial service and a bibliography of Peterson's works. A companion Bible study guide is also available.
A Preference Hierarchy Model of Same-Turn Repair Operations in Talk-In-Interaction
This book studies four self-initiated same-turn repair strategies in talk-in-interaction relative to each other, namely, recycling, replacement, insertion, and aborting. Based on a thorough analysis of a Hungarian corpus, as well as the previous results on another nine languages, a preference hierarchy model of repair operations is proposed that is able to interpret same-turn repair operations relative to each other. It reinterprets the relationship between the principle of intersubjectivity and the principle of progressivity in talk-in-interaction. Saying that the principle of maintaining progressivity also has an impact on the principle of maintaining intersubjectivity (not only vice versa), it supposes a two-way relationship between intersubjectivity and progressivity. It is found that the speakers' possible choices of repair operations relating to self-repair depend on at least three factors: the function of repair operations, the number of respects in which they override the preference for progressivity, and the morphosyntactic structure of the language used. This also highlights the interaction between grammar and pragmatics. Although the object theoretical background of the book is conversation analysis, the author attempts to show how the methodological apparatus of conversation analysis can be supplied by other methods in order to enhance the reliability of her results.

Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERWINNER OF THE RANDY SHILTS AWARD "I once] said to Frank] I was sorry I would never be able to vote for him as the first gay president of the United States. After reading this book, I am sorrier than ever."--Garry Wills, The New York Review of Books Growing up in Bayonne, New Jersey, Barney Frank made two vital discoveries about himself: he was attracted to government, and to men. He resolved to make a career out of the first and to keep the second a secret. Now, his sexual orientation is widely accepted, while his belief in government is embattled. Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage is his account of America's transformation--and the tale of a truly momentous career. From the battle over AIDS funding in the 1980s to the 2008 financial crisis, Barney Frank played a key role, and in this feisty and often moving memoir, he candidly discusses the satisfactions, fears, and grudges that come with elected office. He recalls the emotional toll of living in the closet while publicly crusading against homophobia. He discusses painful quarrels with allies; friendships with public figures, from Tip O'Neill to Sonny Bono; and how he found love with his husband, Jim Ready, becoming the first sitting member of Congress to enter a same-sex marriage. The result is the story of an extraordinary political life, an original argument for rebuilding trust in government, and a guide to how change really happens--composed by a master of the art.

“The Same, but Different”. A Cognitive Linguistic Approach to Variantivity
This study focuses on the concepts of similarities and differences considered within the framework of cognitive linguistics and its understanding of mental construal as our ability to form alternate conceptualisations. The author employs selected cognitive models in the analysis of a variety of verbal, visual, and verbo-visual texts from the domains of literature, art, the press, as well as internet communication. With a focus on the practical dimension, the author suggests that comparing theme-related texts, alternative conceptualisations, and variations might be used as a strategy in teaching cognitive linguistics.

The EU’s interest in and engagement with North East Asia has grown massively over the last three decades, the shaping and implementation of its policy influenced heavily by the UK and its historical links with East Asia. Brexit therefore raises questions about the future of this engagement and comes against a background of wider threats to the liberal world order, especially rising tensions between the USA and China. Worried that they may be forced to choose sides in their hitherto carefully managed relationships with the two, China’s neighbours are therefore watching with interest to see how the EU and the UK respond and manage their future relations with the region. This book goes beyond the traditional trade links to consider diplomatic and security perspectives, as well as wider issues such as the possible impact on educational and research links. It will be of interest to diplomats, scholars, and economists.

A View From the Deck: My Christian Journey With Same-Sex Attraction

A View From the Deck: My Christian Journey With Same-Sex Attraction

Is there any safe place for a man with a shameful 66-year-old secret--friends, family, the church, a Christian organization? Rob Farnsley explores that question with transparency and candor as he reflects on his life journey-a journey that came to a climax with the revelation of his struggle with same-sex attraction. Rob introduces us to the people and recounts the events that have made him the man he is-from observing his parents' loveless marriage as a boy to serving as a church planter in war-torn Eastern Europe later on in life. In A View From the Deck, Rob refuses to offer his readers pat answers to difficult questions about sexuality or to pontificate about the proper Christian response to those who wrestle with the same giants he has faced. Instead, he gives us a glimpse into the human experience-a glimpse that inspires empathy, compassion and a deeper awareness of our need for grace, regardless of our position on the issue. Rob Farnsley has lived a life of Christian service. He devoted over 23 years to church-planting missionary service. Prior to that, he served for a number of years on a college campus ministry team. He has been heavily involved in church ministry and service over all these years. He is single and looking forward to his best years ahead of him, although he says they have been pretty awesome already.
