Rich Wounds
Author: David Mathis
Publisher: The Good Book Company
ISBN: 1784986887
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.

Book Description
A swoon-worthy, grunge meets pop, Rockstar Romance! Jax Mesmerized by her beauty, I watched as she swayed to the music. Incomparable and exotic, her call to every cell in my body was louder than the 120 decibels of our last concert. Winning her should have been easy. But Aria Winters was unphased by stardom and looked at me with disdain. She was the only girl I’d ever met who didn’t like rock stars. Challenge accepted. Aria With his chiseled jawline, piercing black eyes and international fame, Jax Andersson had a voice that made women everywhere swoon. Except for me. I couldn’t have cared less about the alternative rock world. It wasn’t my jam—and neither were junkie rock stars with massive egos. I was only there to do my job and move on with my life. But when Jax offered me the one thing I was desperate for, I couldn’t refuse. I should have stood my ground. He should have kept his distance. Because now, I was going to have to beat him at his own game. "Fans of AL Jackson and Kristen Ashley will devour this! I love a good rockstar romance and Cassidy London didn't disappoint. She brought me back in time to those moments when I'd experienced ALL THE FEELS!" — Not Your Moms Romance Blog

Boasian Verse
Author: Philipp Schweighauser
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000784169
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Boasian Verse explores the understudied poetic output of three major twentieth-century anthropologists: Edward Sapir, Ruth Benedict, and Margaret Mead. Providing a comparative analysis of their anthropological and poetic works, this volume explores the divergent representations of cultural others and the uses of ethnographic studies for cultural critique. This volume aims to illuminate central questions, including: Why did they choose to write poetry about their ethnographic endeavors? Why did they choose to write the way they wrote? Was poetry used to approach the objects of their research in different, perhaps ethically more viable ways? Did poetry allow them to transcend their own primitivist, even evolutionist tendencies, or did it much rather refashion or even amplify those tendencies? This in-depth examination of these ethnographic poems invites both cultural anthropologists and students of literature to reevaluate the Boasian legacy of cultural relativism, primitivism, and residual evolutionism for the twenty-first century. This volume offers a fresh perspective on some of the key texts that have shaped twentieth- and twenty-first-century discussions of culture and cultural relativism, and a unique contribution to readers interested in the dynamic area of multimodal anthropologies.
