How do communities consent to difference? How do they recognize and create the space and time necessary for the differences and disabilities of those who constitute them? Christian congregations often make assumptions about the shared abilities, practices, and experiences that are necessary for communal worship. The author of this provocative new book takes a hard look at these assumptions through a detailed ethnographic study of an unusual religious community where more than half the congregants live with diagnoses of mental illness, many coming to the church from personal care homes or independent living facilities. Here, people's participation in worship disrupts and extends the formal orders of worship. Whenever one worships God at Sacred Family Church, there is someone who is doing it differently. Here, the author argues, the central elements and the participation in the symbols of Christian worship raise questions rather than supply clear markers of unity, prompting the question, What do you need in order to have a church that assumes difference at its heart? Based on three years of ethnographic research, The Disabled Church describes how the Sacred Family community, comprising people with very different mental abilities, backgrounds, and resources, sustains and embodies a common religious identity. It explores how an ethic of difference is both helped and hindered by a church's embodied theology. Paying careful attention to how these congregants improvise forms of access to a common liturgy, this book offers a groundbreaking theology of worship that engages both the fragility and beauty revealed by difference within the church. As liturgy requires consent to difference rather than coercion, an aesthetic approach to differences within Christian liturgy provides a frame for congregations and Christian liturgists to pay attention to the differences and disabilities of worshippers. This book creates a distinctive conversation between critical disability studies, liturgical aesthetics, and ethnographic theology, offering an original perspective on the relationship between beauty and disability within Christian communities. Here is a transformational theological aesthetics of Christian liturgy that prioritizes human difference and argues for the importance of the Disabled Church.

It was a palace of the Kings of France; the creation of the Sun King, Louis XIV. The marvel of all Europe it soon became a gilded cage for the monarchs and the courtiers who lived there. The saga of Versailles is filled with intrigue, scandal, glory, and tragedy. It is here that the nobility of France manipulated and poisoned their way to the top. Marriages, deaths, mistresses, secret passageways, and betrayal---it all added up to the French Revolution that cost Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette their heads. Yet it is also within these opulent walls that we find the dreams of those who conquered Europe through military campaigns or outsmarting their own bloodline. No one was safe. No one was exempt from the King's spies who secretly opened letters and reported on every move within the palace and grounds. Join me as we look behind the scenes at the lives of the French Kings, their wives, their mistresses, and blood relations as they built, tore down, and rebuilt a name that became synonymous with jaw-dropping opulence, power, wealth, fashion, and scandal. Come with me inside the golden gates of Versailles. Packed with photographs, floor plans, and maps, this is a comprehensive look at the palace's history. Also included is the documented hauntings at the palace, including the bestselling account of two women academics who visited the Petit Trianon grounds in 1901 and interacted with the ghost of Marie Antoinette and others of her time period. It is a story that has fascinated the world for decades. Other reports of paranormal activity at the palace are also included. Rebecca F. Pittman is a bestselling author of 14 titles. Her History and Haunting Of series is regularly featured on international TV, radio, and podcast shows.

Her book The History and Haunting of Lizzie Borden spotlights five new pieces of evidence Ms. Pittman found in the famous murder case of 1892. A companion rummy-style card game, The Lizzie Borden Paranormal Card Game, featuring evidence, suspects, alibis and a paranormal twist, is available for sale on her website. She makes her home in Colorado.
The South has always been steeped in mystery. Gunshots from duels fought for family honor still echo from the distant past. The same gray Spanish moss that swayed on moonlit nights throughout plantation grounds still move eerily on coastal breezes. It is in this fabled low country of South Carolina that the ever-changing tidal plain has begun to give up its secrets. A once powerful legal dynasty that covered five counties and spread throughout more like the deadly tendrils of the invasive kudzo vine was beginning to wither. It took the death of a beautiful 19-year-old girl named Mallory Beach to show the dark underbelly of a juggernaut family named Murdaugh. Here is the incredible saga of five mysterious deaths, a score of insurance fraud cases that devasted countless families, drug running, and possible dealings in sex trafficking. It is almost impossible to believe. Yet the shots that rang out on a rainy summer evening on the sprawling Moselle hunting property took not only the lives of the wife and son of Alex Murdaugh but were the percussions for justice that finally demanded answers on other deaths that had been buried beneath the subterfuge. Packed with photos, exclusive interviews, maps and trial transcripts, this is a comprehensive telling of the evidence, theories, victims and key players in this international thriller born of fact. Dedicated to Stephen Smith, Gloria Satterfield, Mallory Beach, Maggie and Paul Murdaugh, and those who would not give up until Goliath had fallen. Rebecca F. Pittman is a bestselling author of 16 titles. She is regularly featured on TV, radio and podcast programs. Her History and Haunting series of books spotlight the most famous landmarks in the world that just happen to be featured regularly on the most haunted lists. Her Countdown to Murder series began with the startling true crime saga out of St. Louis involving Pam Hupp: a seemingly innocuous housewife who stands accused of killing her best friend, a stranger, and even her mother for profit. The story spawned the popular NBC mini-series, The Thing About Pam. Future books in the Countdown to Murder series will showcase the true crime cases of Harold Henthorn, Lizzie Borden, and others.
