Book Description
In Search of the Whip-poor-will Love Song takes the author, Charles Brookins Taylor Sr., on a journey using characters that represent three different generations in the search for the meaning of the whip-poor-will song. Through the combination of searching, observing, reminiscing, and dialoguing with others, he shows how the whip-poor-will song underscores what is said in Psalm 19:1, "The heavens declare the glory of God," a reminder that each creature or thing in God's creation has been given the innate ability to accomplish an ordained purpose in relating to Him and others, each in its own unique way. Taylor draws upon the Scriptures to remind us that God speaks to us through His visible and invisible creation, which tells us that although the spiritual realm transcends the physical realm, it permeates and operates within it. Taylor also shows us how God is using the whip-poor-will as a conduit to proclaim a message to us that His love is unconditional and unfailing. And likewise, He wants to use us to do the same. In a world that often seems to be filled with hate, selfishness, and discord, you may find yourself wondering what has become of our love for one another. In Search of the Whip-poor-will Love Song's story will help us to know that every creature or thing of God has been given the ability to speak love to us, each in its own language, each in its own unique way, each with its own dance. May we all remember that God has given each of us and all His creation the ability to proclaim His love and His glory, and when we allow this to happen, our life will begin to have purpose, peace, happiness, and joy, knowing that God's love for us is really real.

Book Description
Living Folklore is a comprehensive, straightforward introduction to folklore as it is lived, shared and practiced in contemporary settings. Drawing on examples from diverse American groups and experiences, this text gives the student a strong foundation—from the field’s history and major terms to theories, interpretive approaches, and fieldwork. Many teachers of undergraduates find the available folklore textbooks too complex or unwieldy for an introductory level course. It is precisely this criticism that Living Folklore addresses; while comprehensive and rigorous, the book is specifically intended to meet the needs of those students who are just beginning their study of the discipline. Its real strength lies in how it combines carefully articulated foundational concepts with relevant examples and a student-oriented teaching philosophy.
