Just friends. We're just friends. No, really. She's just my best friend... Arizona Turner has been my best friend since fourth grade, even when we "hated" each other. We've been there for one another through first kisses, first "times," and we've been each other's constant when good relationships turned bad. (We even went to colleges that were minutes away from each other...) Throughout the years, and despite what anyone says, we've never crossed the line. Never thought about it. Never wanted to. Until one night changed everything. At least, it should've ... Just friends. We're just friends. I'm only saying this until I figure out if she's still "just" my best friend...

Sincerely Held
Author: Charles McCrary
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226817954
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
"If you read Supreme Court opinions on cases involving First Amendment religion issues, you're likely to encounter the ubiquitous phrase "sincerely held religious belief." The "sincerity test" of religious belief has become a cornerstone of US jurisprudence, determining what counts as legitimate grounds for First Amendment claims in the eyes of the law. In Sincerely Held, Charles McCrary provides an original account of how "sincerely held religious belief" became the primary standard for determining what legally counts as genuine religion. McCrary traces the interlocking histories of sincerity, religion, and secularism in the US, starting in the mid-nineteenth century. He then shows how, in the 1940s, as the courts expanded the concept of religious freedom, they incorporated the notion of sincerity as a key element in determining religious freedom protections. The legal sincerity test was part of a larger trend in which the category "religion" became largely individualized and correlated with "belief." This linking of religion and belief, with all its Protestant underpinnings, is a central concern of critical secularism studies. McCrary contributes to this conversation by revealing the history of how sincerity and sincerely held religious belief developed as technologies of secular governance, constraining the type of subject one has to be in order to receive protections from the state"--

Publisher: Lynda Smith Williams LLC
ISBN: 9780578305967
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
God's plan for her from the beginning was beyond her wildest dreams and imagination In Lynda Williams' first-ever public discussion of her early life and growing up with career criminals, the worst of it all came in 1978. Her brother, Gary Tison, escaped from Arizona State Prison, and her family had to endure the largest manhunt ever in the southwestern United States. She recounts the fear she faced during those 11 days, an event that spawned two books and a pair of movies. Lynda tells about the abuse she suffered growing up in a family where her father and brothers were routinely in and out of prisons, and how her family name, rather than her character, led to many shunning and ridiculing her. Lynda also offers a stirring message of hope for survivors like her: That one can overcome adversity by learning to love yourself and faith in God. LYNDA WILLIAMS is retired after many years of working with abused children, as well as owning and operating other businesses, including a ranch.
