Book Description
This book provides a long-overdue look at the challenges and rewards of nonromantic friendships between women and men. Drawing from a range of literature and her own extensive research, the author presents her examination of these relationships in a clear organizational framework. Topics covered include the everyday dynamics of cross-sex friendships and their societal effects and influences. The author also explores ways that these relationships are developed and maintained, and ways they may come to an end. Illustrated with numerous interviews and segments of conversations between male and female friends, the book offers important insight into such issues as gender-role expectancies, relationship norms and goals, and cultural assumptions about friendship and sexuality. The book will suit readers in sociology, social psychology, communication and gender studies, as well as others interested in social networks and personal relationships, including family and couple therapists. It will also serve as a classroom text in undergraduate and graduate-level courses in interpersonal communication, close relationships, gender studies and social psychology.

Book Description
A great deal has been written about homosexuality and Christianity. Although generally there is a conscious move towards understanding and incorporating the experiences of gay men and women, the Church's response has been to treat homosexuality as a problem within sexual ethics. However, a growing number of gay and lesbian Christians, influenced by liberation movements within and outside the Church, are claiming a place in the Church and finding a voice in theological and ecclesiastical discourse. Elizabeth Stuart suggests that gay people may have some important insights to contribute to theological reflection about sexuality, marriage and celibacy - most notably in the understanding of friendship to include our most intimate and committed relationships. This is not a book about whether Christians should accept or affirm gay people and their relationships. That debate goes on. Dr Stuart's concern here is to ask: supposing lesbian and gay people were equal in the sight of God, what then might heterosexual people learn from them? What new and creative ways of relating might emerge to the benefit of the whole community?

Book Description
Tiffany Clark recently had her 35th birthday, and she isn't married, something that worries her parents to no end. To make matters worse, her sister's wedding is quickly approaching and Tiffany has no date. When her mom threatens to pair her up with someone she doesn't want, Tiffany takes matters into her own hands and asks her best friend, Tyler Jackson, to pose as her boyfriend. It'll only be for the wedding. The lie won't go any further than that. But in a moment of frustration, Tyler blurts out that he and Tiffany are married. That's okay, though. Because as soon as they get back to Omaha, Tiffany will tell them the truth. Only, it's a little hard to do that when her very excited parents are coming to visit "the happy newlyweds". In this romantic comedy, Tyler and Tiffany are about to learn there is no such thing as a little white lie.

Book Description
In "Just Good Food for Good Friends," Dirk Hoffius demonstrates his passion for cooking for his family and friends. As he collected his favorite recipes, a theme was evident: recipes that were so simple that one would be embarrassed to explain how it was made. However, his guests kept raving, and he kept collecting those simple hits. Eventually, his friends became aware of the collection and expressed their expectation of a copy. And so, the birth of "Just Good Food for Good Friends." Throughout the 156 recipes, Dirk covers the basics with appetizing appetizers, simple salads with delicious homemade dressings, soups, vegetables, side dishes, homemade salts and sauces (be sure to try the Rattlesnake Salt), meats, poultry, seafood, brunch, and desserts. With each recipe comes with a vignette on the origins of the recipe or a quick tip.

Book Description
The contemporary church's debate on the inclusion of same-sex individuals and their relationships has devolved into diametrically opposed positions. Rather than resolving the argument, the conversation between the two sides reflects the impasse that is taking place in denominations across the West. It is clear that the dispute cannot be resolved while couched in these terms. In this timely work, Steven Schafer invites the reader to move beyond the terms of the current debate toward the underlying doctrinal concerns so often glossed over by that discussion. This book is a work of hermeneutics that engages the contemporary discussion on the legitimacy of same-sex relationships with the grand theological narrative handed down by the church. By placing four contemporary revisionists in dialogue with the work of Augustine, the book provides language and theological avenues to reframe the debate and contributes to the church's ongoing discernment.

Book Description
This book offers nothing less than a new vision for Christian marriage at a time of unprecedented social and theological change. It breaks new ground in drawing on earlier traditions of betrothal and informal marriage in welcoming some forms of pre-marital cohabitation, and provides a new defence of the link between marriage and procreation by sketching a theology of liberation for children. Christian principles for the use of contraception by married and not-yet-married couples are restated, and a comprehensive theology of marriage is worked out, based on re-worked biblical models. Marriage as a Christian sacrament, mutually administered in a lifelong partnership of equals is affirmed. A chapter on divorce brings new light to bear on legitimate theological grounds for 'the parting of the ways'. The question of whether marriage is a heterosexual institution is addressed, and particular attention is paid throughout the book to overcoming the distorting effect of the overwhelming androcentric bias of much Christian thought on marriage, to the experience of wives, and to all those women and men for whom marriage is not their vocation.
