Book Description
“For a guy who has never set foot outside the USA, I feel like a seasoned world traveler, thanks to Alton Loveless who picks me up on his magic carpet called “Monday Moments.” We’ve uncovered history in London, waded in the Jordan River, heard the roar of hunting lions in Africa, and cheered American servicemen at 30,000 feet returning home from far-flung battlefields. Climb aboard—we saved a seat for you.” —Dr. Jack Williams, Director of Communications, FWBBC, Nashville, Tennessee. "Call me a world traveler, yet I’ve rarely crossed the borders of my own country. Still I’ve traveled far and wide in the words of Dr. Alton Loveless over the past few years. Dr. Loveless is an inspiration and wonder, all wrapped up in the flesh of a man. Here’s a man who has visited countless nations, spoke in some of the most exotic and remote churches on the globe, yet when he recounts his travels in print it is as if I am there climbing that mountain, or sitting in that airplane seat looking out over the wing at the mountains and valleys of some remote region. I first met Dr. Loveless when a minister in the town where I manage the hometown newspaper came into my office to introduce me to their new associate pastor. He told me how Dr. Alton Loveless had spent many decades in the printing field — having worked for and managed a publishing house for much of his career. It didn’t take but a couple weeks for me to be introduced to the new minister’s writings. Immediately I was hooked. In the years since, Dr. Loveless became a regular contributor to the local newspaper with a weekly column. He quickly drew a following of faithful readers. Countless times I’ve been thanked by readers for including his works in the local paper by his friends and neighbors ... and in many cases, complete strangers who were drawn to the pictures he painted with words. Whether it be the reader who’s lot in life has kept them from traveling abroad, or the traveler who longs to experience more beyond his or her borders — Dr. Alton Loveless can take you there. I’m sure you will find his travel writings to be every bit as realistic, entertaining and enjoyable as my readers has." --Doug Smith, General Manager, Farmington Press "With an adventurous spirit, Dr. Loveless has journaled his lifetime travels that parallel a rich and inspiring spiritual journey in His Father ́s world. Sit down with a cup of coffee and enjoy the ride!" --Dr. Greg Sergent, Pastor, Wise, Virginia. " ́Monday Moments ́ is a favorite read for me. Its short, inspiring narrative is just what I need to begin my week." --Winnie Yandell, Pastor’s wife, Oklahoma. "My wife and I have enjoyed reading all the articles that you have sent out called ́Monday Moments ́. They are always spiritually uplifting and fascinating reading. Please continue writing them." --Gerald & Norma McAllister, Nashville, Tennessee. "I have enjoyed and appreciated the ́Monday Moments ́ articles I have read. Having lived in another country myself for many years, I like the way you often utilize traveling experiences to relate them to God ́s eternal truth and man ́s need. God bless you and thanks." --Earnie Deeds, Oklahoma. Retired Missionary to Brazil. "Dr. Loveless your stories are fascinating and I enjoy reading them." --Dr. Ramakrishna Venkatesh, University of Kentucky Medical School- Professor/Surgeon. "As a bi-vocational pastor I am blessed to be able to receive ́Monday Moments ́ on my PC. It’s refreshing and uplifting to read about Dr. Loveless’ travels and experiences - always given with a perspective of God’s word." --Don White, Pastor, Bristol, TN. "Dr. Loveless’s ́Monday Moments ́ are interesting and his descriptions of places where he and his wife have visited are always vivid and enticing. His writing is refreshing in that it reveals appreciation of God’s glory and grandeur se

Gospel of the Open Road
Author: Robert C. Gordon, PhD
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1469711532
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 494
Book Description
Gospel of the Open Road reclaims Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, and Henry David Thoreau as Americas spiritual birthright. It rescues them from literary history, and reveals them in their true light: as democracys prophets of the soul. Emerson, Whitman, and Thoreau were religious seers who developed a new form of spirituality, and Gospel of the Open Road explains, in scholarly yet passionate fashion, the deep wisdom that is their enduring legacy. It presents them as a viable spiritual path for those who do not belong, and do not want to belong, to any organized religion.But this book does more. It draws fascinating parallels between the new spirituality taught by Emerson, Whitman, Thoreau and ancient spiritual wisdom as found in shamanism, Goddess worship, Tantra, Taoism, Confucianism, Vajrayana and Zen Buddhism, and Hinduism. This book is an evocative synthesis of humanitys most venerable spiritual wisdom and the most modern of philosophical, social, psychological, political, scientific, and Humanistic concepts. It traces the New Age spiritual revolution to its source in Emerson, Whitman, and Thoreau, and explains how to apply their spiritual teachings to our everyday life here on Earth.

Disney, Culture, and Curriculum
Author: Jennifer A. Sandlin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317340574
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
A presence for decades in individuals’ everyday life practices and identity formation, the Walt Disney Company has more recently also become an influential element within the "big" curriculum of public and private spaces outside of yet in proximity to formal educational institutions. Disney, Culture, and Curriculum explores the myriad ways that Disney’s curricula and pedagogies manifest in public consciousness, cultural discourses, and the education system. Examining Disney’s historical development and contemporary manifestations, this book critiques and deconstructs its products and perspectives while providing insight into Disney’s operations within popular culture and everyday life in the United States and beyond. The contributors engage with Disney’s curricula and pedagogies in a variety of ways, through critical analysis of Disney films, theme parks, and planned communities, how Disney has been taught and resisted both in and beyond schools, ways in which fans and consumers develop and negotiate their identities with their engagement with Disney, and how race, class, gender, sexuality, and consumerism are constructed through Disney content. Incisive, comprehensive, and highly interdisciplinary, Disney, Culture, and Curriculum extends the discussion of popular culture as curriculum and pedagogy into new avenues by focusing on the affective and ontological aspects of identity development as well as the commodification of social and cultural identities, experiences, and subjectivities.
