Anybody's Dad (Mills & Boon Vintage Desire)
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'RE A... FATHER?!
The Proverbial Woman
Female identity is fraught and fetishized, commercialized and contested--so potent a weapon in contemporary cultural warfare that a sitting US senator had no shame in asking a nominee to the Supreme Court to "define 'woman.'" But the battle over female identity is not of modern invention. Its roots are ancient. And in the Hebrew Bible, one text has served as the focal point of both classical and fashionable conceptions of female identity: Proverbs 31. A timeless pattern of femininity for some and a punchline for others, the poems themselves have received wildly differing levels of analysis, with too much ink spent on "the ideal woman," and far too little on political rebukes and economic dis...
The Proverbial Woman
The Proverbial Woman offers a narrative and dialogical approach to the text of Proverbs 31 that unearths the poetry's social, sexual, and political silences and silencings. Chase excavates the power dynamics that promote elite ideologies even as gaps, ambiguities, and contradictions enable marginalized perspectives within the text to resist them.
Wicked Dreams
Have you ever watched a dog yelp and kick while dreaming and wondered what he was chasing? Wicked Dreams not only shows you what frightening presence dogs chase in their dreams; but takes you on that chase as well. In a thrilling tail of good versus evil, Wicked Dreams throws you in the middle of a cast of characters, some with two legs, some with four, and some with wings. You see what they see and dream what they dream. Unwillingly you are pulled into the dreams that have been passed on for centuries, the Wicked Dreams. And the journey will keep you on the edge of your seat right up to the last sentence.
Making Gender in the Intersection of the Human and the Divine
This collection of essays challenges the traditional patriarchal approach to sacred literature by highlighting gender parity in sacred texts and envisioning the rise of the matriarchy in the future. The authors redefine Biblical Greek words like malakoi and arsenokoitai used in condemnation of homosexuality, and Qur’anic words like darajah and qawwamun, used for establishing patriarchy. One author reexamines the role of the Nepalese Teej festival of fasting and worship of the god Shiva in promoting male hegemony in Hinduism. Other papers examine passages like Proverbs 31:1-31, the stories of Sarah and Rahab in the Bible, the role of Mary in the Qur’an, and the Dharmic conversion in chapter 27 of the Lotus Sutra. This book makes it clear that sacred literature is subject to human understanding as it evolves through space and time. Today, as more women are educated and actively engaged in political, economic, and social life, religions are challenged to redefine gender roles and norms.
Pai sem saber
Tessa Lightfoot recusava-se a partilhar o filho por que tinha esperado tanto tempo com um completo desconhecido, e muito menos a casar com aquele homem. Era verdade que Chase Madison tinha algo a ver com a sua gravidez, resultado da sua involuntária doação a um banco de esperma. Também era verdade que as suas carícias ternas excitavam o corpo florescente de Tessa. Mas os avanços da Medicina e uma certidão de casamento não bastavam para criar uma verdadeira família. Nada iria interpor-se entre Chase e a paternidade, nem sequer a teimosa Tessa. Ela levava o filho dele no corpo. E, apesar de lamentar não o ter conseguido ao velho estilo, tinha a intenção de remediar a situação na primeira ocasião que lhe aparecesse à frente.
Prisms
Year DC12. The parallel worlds of Earth and Mara are wastelands of corruption, ruled by the unforgiving conference. Seventeen-year-old Faye finds herself thrown into the heart of rebellion with one aim; destroy the conference at whatever cost. Time is ticking. The Runners are coming. But can she win out before she loses herself forever?
Work and Worship
The modern chasm between "secular" work and "sacred" worship has had a devastating impact on Western Christianity. Drawing on years of research, ministry, and leadership experience, Kaemingk and Willson explain why Sunday morning worship and Monday morning work desperately need to inform and impact one another. Together they engage in a rich biblical, theological, and historical exploration of the deep and life-giving connections between labor and liturgy. In so doing, Kaemingk and Willson offer new ways in which Christian communities can live seamless lives of work and worship.
