Dance in Scripture: How Biblical Dancers Can Revolutionize Worship Today examines the dances of seven biblical figures: Miriam, Jephthah's daughter, David, the Shulamite, Judith, Salome, and Jesus.

The Power of Stories
Author: Rev. Jacqueline J. Lewis
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1426724837
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
Most congregational leaders find it difficult to resist the dominant cultural expectation that different cultural and ethnic groups should stick to themselves–especially when it comes to church. But some congregational leaders have learned the secrets of breaking out of these expectations to bring together communities of faith that model God’s radical inclusiveness.What makes the difference? Jacqui Lewis explains that it resides in the stories these leaders tell: stories about who they themselves are, and what the communities they lead are about. These leaders are able to embrace the multiple, complex stories within these diverse communities, hearing in the many voices a particular echo of the living voice of the gospel. In this book Lewis shares with the reader examples of congregational leaders who have successfully overcome the challenges of leading multicultural congregations, and the lessons that can be learned from them.Jacqueline J. Lewis is Senior Minister for Vision, Worship, and the Arts at Middle Collegiate Church in New York.

Pages : 299
Book Description
The CEOs of several American oil companies hatched a plot to assassinate the president of the United States, to prevent him from introducing a bill to nationalize the oil companies. Frank Bellamy, a retired Mafia hit man, turns down the very lucrative contract, even though he needs the money to save his car dealerships from bankruptcy. A psychopathic European assassin, with a dark American past, accepts the contract and arrives in Washington, DC. When the FBI gets wind of the plot, all signs point to Bellamy. But Bellamy is preoccupied with his own personal issues: saving his business, reconciling with his wife, and appeasing his stepson, who has some questions about his deceased father. Meanwhile, the Mafia leaders are becoming nervous as the FBI closes in on Bellamy, who knows too much about their organization. He has to be silenced before he takes them all down. Bellamy must find and stop the European assassin before the president is killed, before the FBI corners him, and before the Mafia's hit men take him out.
