Few know the price of the Gospel like Gary Shepherd. This is a life-changing story of what it really takes to follow God's call. You may never look at your Bible the same way again... Gary's simple faith, captured in eloquent detail, will make you feel as if you are right in the center of the action: facing the King Cobra, hearing the witch scream, feeling the searing bullets. If you have ever wondered, in an age of relativism and limp-wristed Christianity, where the real Kingdom is operating-then read these pages. With honesty and craftsmanship, Gary relates his journey in a way that will comfort those who have served and know... and inspire those whose time has yet to come. "I have known G...

Mormon Passage

This work is the first to present detailed, first-person accounts of the Mormon missionary experience. Armed with little more than youthful vigor and firmly held religious convictions, twins Gary and Gordon Shepherd left their home in Salt Lake City in 1964 for two years as missionaries in Mexico. Mormon Passage is one result of that experience, a combination of diaries and field notes kept by the two during their mission and sociological analyses of their experiences. The brothers' goal is to help readers understand the consequences of the missionary experience for the vitality of Mormon religious life. "Seldom has excellent research been woven so tightly with personal experience. . . . Very well written, a compelling narrative and an absorbing analysis." -- Lavina Fielding Anderson, coeditor of Sisters in Spirit: Mormon Women in Historical and Cultural Perspective

A News Correspondent Goes Sailing

A News Correspondent Goes Sailing is a book about a sailing trip the author took after retiring from ABC Network News. In each chapter of the book, not only is the sailing adventure described, but the author also reminisces about some of the major news stories he covered as a broadcast journalist. The sailing trip began in October, 1997, and seven months later the sailboat, a Catalina 42 sloop, arrived in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. There were stops in Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Cartagena, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Gary Shepard recalls such news assignments as the student rebellion in Beijing, China; the Vietnam War; President Bushas drug war meeting with heads of state in Cartagena, Colombia; the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, Pennslvania; the young California gray whales strapped in the ice off Barrow, Alaska; and the first Persian Gulf War from Baghdad, Iraq.

Forever Familias

Peruvian members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints face the dilemma of embracing their faith while finding space to nourish their Peruvianness. Jason Palmer draws on eight years of fieldwork to provide an on-the-ground look at the relationship between Peruvian Saints and the racial and gender complexities of the contemporary Church. Peruvian Saints discovered that the foundational ideas of kinship and religion ceased being distinct categories in their faith. At the same time, they came to see that LDS rituals and reenactments placed coloniality in opposition to the Peruvians’ indigenous roots and family against the more expansive Peruvian idea of familia. In part one, Palmer explores how Peruvian Saints resolved the first clash by creating the idea of a new pioneer indigeneity that rejected victimhood in favor of subtle engagements with power. Part two illuminates the work performed by Peruvian Saints as they stretched the Anglo Church’s model of the nuclear family to encompass familia.

In this compendium of related and cross-referential essays, David R. Maines draws from pragmatist/symbolic interactionist assumptions to formulate a consistent new view of the entire field of sociology. Suitable for courses in social theory, qualitative methods, social psychology, and narrative inquiry, this volume will change the way the general public looks at interpretive sociology.This book is organized as an expression of the centrality of interactionism to general sociology. Each chapter is designed to articulate this view of the field. Symbolic interactionism, the way Maines has come to understand and use it, is essentially the concerted application of pragmatist principles of philoso...
