Book Description
Jacob Stratman’s first collection of poems, What I Have I Offer with Two Hands, offers poems where the typically mundane and forgettable become windows to the divine. Whether the speaker of these poems is transfixed by Joseph Decker’s Basket of Peaches, the hills and creeks of the Ozarks, the Eucharist, his son’s Batman toys in the tub, or his own childhood, the focus never leaves his relationship with his sons and their relationship with God and the created world—what he hopes for them and what he hopes for all of us. With a loose connection to the liturgical calendar, readers will follow this father’s meandering path through the year as he contemplates how to love, how to hope.

A delightful way to show little ones how their hands are a blessing from God that they can use to do help others.

Both Hands Tied
Author: Jane L. Collins
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226114074
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Both Hands Tied studies the working poor in the United States, focusing in particular on the relation between welfare and low-wage earnings among working mothers. Grounded in the experience of thirty-three women living in Milwaukee and Racine, Wisconsin, it tells the story of their struggle to balance child care and wage-earning in poorly paying and often state-funded jobs with inflexible schedules—and the moments when these jobs failed them and they turned to the state for additional aid. Jane L. Collins and Victoria Mayer here examine the situations of these women in light of the 1996 national Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act and other like-minded reforms—laws that ended the entitlement to welfare for those in need and provided an incentive for them to return to work. Arguing that this reform came at a time of gendered change in the labor force and profound shifts in the responsibilities of family, firms, and the state, Both Hands Tied provides a stark but poignant portrait of how welfare reform afflicted poor, single-parent families, ultimately eroding the participants’ economic rights and affecting their ability to care for themselves and their children.

One Lord, Two Hands?
Author: Matthew C. Harrison

ISBN: 9780758671073
Category : Lutheran Church
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
"This collection of essays serves as a sourcebook of significant writings on the reception and use of the theology of the two kingdoms. The Lutheran teaching of the two kingdoms, in one way or another, touches on every article of faith from creation to eschatology. It is critical to vocation, as the Christian navigates life as a citizen of this world while simultaneously a citizen of the heavenly kingdom through faith in Christ Jesus. Without the distinction between the two kingdoms, faith is misplaced, and the neighbor is deprived of the love owed him or her. Pastors, church leaders, teachers, and theology students will find in these essays a respect for Luther's confession of God's two kingdoms and a desire to see it fruitfully utilized in addressing the issues we now encounter in the world"--
