This volume examines the ontology of music groups. It connects two fascinating areas of philosophical research: the ontology of social groups and the philosophy of music. Interest in questions about the nature of music groups is growing. Since people are widely familiar with music groups, the topic is particularly well-suited for introducing issues in social ontology. Being comparably small-scale and temporary, music groups also provide an excellent case study for those who think that social groups are analyzed best by considering small groups. The present volume provides a comprehensive overview of the topic and seeks to establish the ontology of music groups as a distinct field of philosop...
Explore a female's longing in all its complexity. AT HER ALL is the kind of escape we've all been craving—a numbing experience to an awakening. AT HER ALL is a southern mystic getaway to the Smoky Mountains through North Carolina and hide on a sandbar at the Outer Banks and hang ten with Lara Faye Edison. Fresh out of college, her life plan for the perfect career. Ambition awaits her. She's wrong! A minor problem left in Chapel Hill follows her like worn-out baggage. Namely, her college boyfriend—and his lies. Maybe it's time for her to get far away from her problems. She thinks! But what happens next is something Lara never saw coming. Her best-laid plans come undone. There's no telling what a woman will do in the name of love that turned into revenge to get her life back on track from a bottle of lies.
Spirituality has an indispensable role to play in the expression of our humanity. However, spiritual practices can sometimes make us less, not more, authentically human. We may be good Christians, but we aren't good human beings. How can we ensure that our spiritual journey is conducted in a way that allows us to become fully alive and deeply human? David Benner has spent thirty-five years integrating psychology and spirituality. Here he presents an expansive, psychologically informed understanding of spirituality, probing the contrasts between soulful and soulless spirituality, deep and shallow religion, and healthy and unhealthy relationships with God to affirm the vital role of human development in the spiritual journey. Benner then suggests soulful practices for cultivating the Christian spiritual life. This book will appeal to readers seeking depth and substance in their quest for authentic spirituality. It will also be a helpful resource for mental health professionals and spiritual directors. Reflection questions and exercises for individual or group use are included at the end of each chapter.d

This novel, primarily set in the 1960s, is seen through the eyes of a white youth growing up in a black society. The story is not as much about hatred as it is about brotherly love, about a positive encounter in the lives of many. The sixties were indeed volatile times, but presented lessons to be learned, lessons to be passed along to future generations. Millions of people are still fascinated by the 1960s, and the history that unfolded dramatically-assassinations, the Vietnam conflict, Civil Rights, the media, the music-yet a time in the 20th century when life seemed much simpler and tangible. The author takes the reader back through some of these days, back to Detroit. While experiencing ...
Death is the only certainty we face in this life, but most people don’t spend much time thinking about what will happen to them after they pass away. The world’s oldest and most reliable manuscript, the Bible, deals with this subject in great detail, and it would be a mistake to not study what it has to say about the afterlife. Scripture teaches that there are only two possible destinations after we die: heaven or hell. In his latest survey of biblical teachings, Steve Regnault addresses the critical questions surrounding the afterlife: Does the Bible actually teach that there is an eternal place of punishment? What is heaven like? Where is heaven? Who goes to heaven and who goes to hell? Eternity is coming and it must be taken seriously. Dig into the world’s most trusted and historical book to find answers to the most important questions you’ll ever ask.
