Book Description
This book is intended to help preteens and teenagers understand God?s word and revelation presented in the Bible. Its purpose is to teach biblical doctrines about God, the Holy Spirit, creation, angels, the devil, and sin through a story that attempts to draw children?s attention and make the Bible easier to understand?make it simpler, not simplistic. Sometimes, Bible stories may be too complicated or not intellectually challenging enough for this age group, who are avid fiction readers, unaware that the Bible is so much richer with its fantastic beings, amazing creatures, and awesome acts of God, considering that His Word is true and His creation is real. Sometimes stories are presented in a fast pace, not giving the reader a chance to either process the information or create a mental image of the story so it can impact learning and promote transformation. Often, the goal of reading a lot of information about the Bible, without giving the chance to analyze it, becomes more important than giving the Word of God time to renew the mind and mold the character, enabling the reader to be transformed into the likeness of Jesus.

Rootedness
Author: Christy Wampole
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022631765X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Roots are good to think with indeed most of us use them as a metaphor every day. A root can signify the hiddenness of our beginnings, or, in its bifurcating structure, the various possibilities in the life of an individual or a collective. This book looks at rootedness as a metaphor for the genealogical origins of people and their attachment to place and how this metaphor transformed so rapidly in twentieth-century Europe. Christy Wampole s case study is France, with its contradictory legacies of Enlightenment universalism, anti-Semitism, and colonialism. At one time, French nationalist rhetoric portrayed the Jews as unrooted and thus unrighteous people. After the two world wars, the root metaphor figured in the new French philosophy (notably Deleuze and Guattari). And recently, Caribbean thinkers in Haiti, Guadeloupe, and Martinique have debated whether their roots were in Africa, France, the Caribbean, or in some pan-national network that could not be identified on a map. Walpole argues that while the metaphor was perhaps once useful in the establishment of communities and identities, that usefulness has expired. The longer we remain attached to the figure of rootedness, the more discord it sows. Giving up on the metaphor of rootedness, Wampole urges, allows us to see at last that we are in fact unbound by the land we inhabit."

The Consequences of Global Disasters
Author: Anthony Elliott
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317505883
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
Disasters of the 21st century differ substantially from other kinds of hazards that previous societies have had to cope with because of the twin forces of globalization and the communications revolution. But what makes today’s disasters—industrial, technological, environmental, and socio-cultural—so different in scope and impact? What are the possible disasters of the future? And how can we, as collective humanity, best manage and respond to the globalization of disasters? The Consequences of Global Disasters makes a distinctive contribution to the ever-expanding field of disaster research by developing a multi-contextual, multi-disciplinary and multi-methodological approach to the social analysis of disasters. Anthony Elliott and Eric L. Hsu have brought together a highly distinguished group of international contributors to focus on how people react to the unsettling effects of disasters, which come in a multitude of forms. Numerous contributors concentrate on the cultural, political and psychological ramifications of the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami, but disasters in other contexts, such as Australia, China and Haiti, are considered as well. By offering unique empirical, methodological and theoretical insights, The Consequences of Global Disasters sets an agenda for future developments in the field of disaster research and will be a key resource for students and scholars working in social science disciplines such as sociology, cultural studies, international relations, psycho-social studies, social work, Japanese studies and social theory.

The GrammarPragmatics Interface
Author: Nancy Hedberg
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027292434
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
This collection of papers celebrates the work of Jeanette K. Gundel, who has contributed to the field of the grammar-pragmatics interface through her publications on the syntactic realization of topic and comment and the cognitive status of referring expressions, as well as by inspiring colleagues to make contributions to the overall field of pragmatics. This volume collects together papers from colleagues and former students on pragmatics and syntax, pragmatics and reference, and pragmatics and social variables. The volume includes papers devoted to explicating the grammar-pragmatics interface, with the focus of the papers ranging from Gricean and post-Gricean pragmatics, construction grammar, and genre theory to formal semantics, as well as papers devoted to expanding on Gundel's own original approach to factors such as the cognitive status decisions underlying speakers' choice of referring expression and the topic and focus decisions underlying speakers' choice of syntactic construction.
