Contrary to what many people think, using intelligent faith isn't just a way to attain your dreams and goals. It's a tool to protect and nurture those dreams, especially when it comes to eternal salvation. People who listen to the voice of faith walk in the light, but those who ignore it end up confused and full of doubt, not knowing where they're headed or which path to take. In The Voice of Faith, Edir Macedo explains this divine idea of faith in a clear and straightforward manner, and the importance of recognising how it guides us amid all the other voices out there, so that we can receive all the good that it has to give.

But what does it mean to be a pastor's wife? What challenges does she have to face? How did she join this ministry and become a helper of a man of God?

A Place in Politics is a thorough reinterpretation of the politics and political culture of the Brazilian state of São Paulo between the 1890s and the 1930s. The world’s foremost coffee-producing region from the outset of this period and home to more than six million people by 1930, São Paulo was an economic and demographic giant. In an era marked by political conflict and dramatic social and cultural change in Brazil, nowhere were the conflicts as intense or changes more dramatic than in São Paulo. The southeastern state was the site of the country’s most important political developments, from the contested presidential campaign of 1909–10 to the massive military revolt of 1924. Dr...

Sound and taste conjugate a special relationship, and they are often presented and represented together. The linkage between music and food has been a traditional field for artists to suggest, among various emotions, love and sexual desire, happiness, fear, and rebellion, as well as environmental, urban, ethnic, and class values. This multi-author book explores the interconnectedness of music and food and their meaningful relations. With a multicultural approach, chapters focus on various historical periods and world cultures. Music and food links are explored within the framework of different disciplines, such as musicology, literature, anthropology, and history. General lines for a theoretical base are developed by specialists from diverse fields.
