Why Wear Those Hoochie Mama Dresses?: What's Your Style--Royalty Or Risque?
Author: Martha Cahoon
Publisher: Tate Publishing & Enterprises
ISBN: 9781598862089
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
Hundreds of years ago the first temptation to women appeared in the Garden of Eden through the enticement of an apple. Today, to the 21st century woman, the temptation comes through the beguiling charm of her wardrobe. A trip to the Garden of Eden would find that the apple was eaten because of compromise to Eve's character. A trip to the mall today will find that women have not only compromised their character, but their bodies as well as they pull on clothing that is sensual and seductive. Why Wear Those Hoochie Mamma Dresses? is directed to young girls and women, addressing the apparent lack of responsibility in which seductive clothing is worn in our modern day world. Author Martha Cahoon deals with ?fashion flagrance? head-on, not in a ?cram it down your throat? method, but with a whimsical sense of humor grounded in biblical truth. How we dress and present our bodies to the world is a statement of our purity. Since the Garden of Eden, the author of compromise, Satan, has tried to destroy that purity. But the Bible equips us to protect by allowing God to dress us from the inside out, which is reflected not only in our demeanor, but in our selection of fashions as well. The Bible says, ?The King's daughter is all glorious within, her clothing is interwoven with gold.? Read Why Wear Those Hoochie Mama Dresses? to see what the King has in His daughter's wardrobe.

The Soul of Hip Hop
Author: Daniel White Hodge
Publisher: InterVarsity Press
ISBN: 0830861289
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
What is Hip Hop? Hip hop speaks in a voice that is sometimes gruff, sometimes enraged, sometimes despairing, sometimes hopeful. Hip hop is the voice of forgotten streets laying claim to the high life of rims and timbs and threads and bling. Hip hop speaks in the muddled language of would-be prophets--mocking the architects of the status quo and stumbling in the dark toward a blurred vision of a world made right. What is hip hop? It's a cultural movement with a traceable theological center. Daniel White Hodge follows the tracks of hip-hop theology and offers a path from its center to the cross, where Jesus speaks truth.

Shapeshifters
Author: Aimee Meredith Cox
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 0822375370
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
In Shapeshifters Aimee Meredith Cox explores how young Black women in a Detroit homeless shelter contest stereotypes, critique their status as partial citizens, and negotiate poverty, racism, and gender violence to create and imagine lives for themselves. Based on eight years of fieldwork at the Fresh Start shelter, Cox shows how the shelter's residents—who range in age from fifteen to twenty-two—employ strategic methods she characterizes as choreography to disrupt the social hierarchies and prescriptive narratives that work to marginalize them. Among these are dance and poetry, which residents learn in shelter workshops. These outlets for performance and self-expression, Cox shows, are key to the residents exercising their agency, while their creation of alternative family structures demands a rethinking of notions of care, protection, and love. Cox also uses these young women's experiences to tell larger stories: of Detroit's history, the Great Migration, deindustrialization, the politics of respectability, and the construction of Black girls and women as social problems. With Shapeshifters Cox gives a voice to young Black women who find creative and non-normative solutions to the problems that come with being young, Black, and female in America.
