Welcome to New Country

Pages : 331
Book Description
Welcome to New Country shows (as opposed to argues) how and why commercial new country music is a major collective achievement, on par with jazz and the Broadway musical. A traditionally Southern and working class idiom has been transformed into a national and middle class mode of expression that articulates many of the hopes and concerns of life in America today. At its most interesting, new country music is music for the middle: middle class, middle aged, and often in the middle of the country.Welcome to New Country is written for anybody who can follow a serious country song -- which is a lot of people. It is also written sympathetically, as a small contribution to ameliorating some of the divides that run through this nation.Using copious quotation from hits, straightforward explication, and a bit of memoir, the book shows how new country music articulates an American mythos. Country music not only expresses an imaginary (small towns, cars, fields, etc.), but also meditates on life, from birth to death, home to politics to being out on the lake to God.Politically, country music reflects changing ideas of America itself, which may be caricatured as a shift from experiment in self governance to appreciation of American experiences. America is reinventing herself, and this music is a way to start talking, in very plain language, about how.Psychologically, new country music is on occasion what in another context was called existential: it queries, sometimes rather desperately, the significance of often ordinary lives. Indeed, there are a number of country music songs (and a chapter of the book) about "life" itself, and how we stand vis-a-vis our days. Middle aged concerns. So country music is popular and commercial and so forth, but that is not to be confused with unserious.I hope you enjoy the book; it has been a good long journey.

Pages : 100
Book Description
How every church member can be like Jesus by making newcomers and outsiders feel part of the church family Walking into church can be intimidating, whether for the first time or after a period of absence, whether you are a non-believer or a believer. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if your church was a place where everyone received a warm welcome? A place where newcomers can quickly feel at home and where non-believers receive the welcome of God’s people alongside the welcome of Jesus? This warm, practical book by Jen Oshman explores what the Bible says to help readers discover how to make space for others, however different they are to them, in their church and in their lives. She also gives practical advice, drawing on good practice from churches around the world in a range of situations. In a world of division, individualism, and isolation, readers will see that their church can witness to Christ by being a place of welcome, community, and connection. Chapters include how Jesus welcomes us, the impact of welcoming in the early church, the effect of being siblings in Christ, how to welcome beyond Sunday, helpful systems and strategies, how our joy in Christ causes us to be outward-looking, and mirroring the glorious vision set out in Revelation. Whether you’re a pastor looking to encourage your congregation to welcome others or a church member wanting to see unbelievers come to faith and help everyone feel part of the family, this book is for you.
