Singled Out debunks myths and stereotypes about single people and lays the groundwork for social, political, and economic change. -- Thomas F. Coleman, Executive Director, Unmarried America
Drawing from decades of scientific research and stacks of stories from the front lines of singlehood, Bella DePaulo debunks the myths of singledom---and shows that just about everything you've heard about the benefits of getting married and the perils of staying single are grossly exaggerated or just plain wrong. Although singles are singled out for unfair treatment by the workplace, the marketplace, and the federal tax structure, they are not simply victims of this singlism--single people really are living happily ever after. Singled Out Debunks Ten Myths of Singlehood, Including: -Myth--The Dark Aura of Singlehood: You are miserable and lonely and your life is tragic. -Myth--Attention, Single Women: Your work won't love you back and your eggs will dry up. Also, you don't get any and you're promiscuous. -Myth--Attention, Single Men: You are horny, slovenly, and irresponsible, and you are the scary criminals. Or you are sexy, fastidious, frivolous, and gay. Elegant analysis, wonderfully detailed examples, and clear and witty prose...A must-read for all single adults, their friends and families, as well as social scientists and policy advocates. --E. Kay Trimberger, author of The New Single Woman The singles movement is coming to a bookstore near you. --Associated Press Fascinating . .this book could hardly have come at a better time. As much as societal adulation of the couple discriminates against single people, Singled Out suggests that it can also undermine marriage. --TheChristian Science Monitor
Описание: The seven deadly sins are a well-known topic, but, surprisingly, not much has been written about them in recent years from a serious theological viewpoint. Will Willimon's engaging book, which takes an unflinching look at the meaning and substance of sin, will be of great interest to Christians. Study questions by the author are included. The "felt need" is an increasing dissatisfaction with shallow, feel-good Christianity--which does not attempt to grapple with our propensity, visible around us and in our own lives, to do evil. This edition includes a new introduction by the author.
A recent study by the Pulpit and Pew Research Center found that Will Willimon is one of the most widely read authors among mainline Protestant pastors, and an international survey conducted by Baylor University named him one of the Twelve Most Effective Preachers in the English-speaking world. With over a million copies of more than sixty books sold, his popularity is undeniable.
Описание: Song of Songs is the song of the cry of the Bridegroom Lamb's ravished heart that He is singing over His bride since before creation. Song of Songs shows the way out of slavery to others, money, sin, self, fear, shame and a host of other things we struggle to overcome. Leading us from the first blush of romance to mature love Song of Songs completely rearranges our thinking. The Song brings about a renewing of the mind for which we yearn. It answers the why of suffering and raises our eyes to the eternal love that will not let us go. This Song shatters our love affair with other gods by revealing the rapture of our Bridegroom's heart for us. It describes what He saw as He hung on the cross. There was joy set before him that helped Him endure the cross. Heb. 12:2b. The joy He saw is proclaimed in Song of Songs. In Song of Songs the bride is a slave, a worshipper, a warrior, a garden locked up and a dancer. She is everything He desires and the reason we were created. He knew the price of creating us would be His own life; such was the Bridegroom's love.

In incisive, outspoken and informative essays, Mulholland challenges the accepted standpoint of music journalism to produce an entertaining, nostalgic and provocative read. Incidentally, the title comes from a 1977 entry in the book by the Rezillos.

Authoritative study by a renowned musicologist and Reformation scholar
Many scholars think that congregational singing was not established in Lutheran worship until well after the start of the Reformation. In this book Robin A. Leaver calls that view into question, presenting new research to confirm the earlier view that congregational singing was both the intention and the practice right from the beginning of the Wittenberg reforms in worship.
Leaver's study focuses on the Wittenberg hymnal of 1526, which until now has received little scholarly attention. This hymnal, Leaver argues, shows how the Lutheran Reformation was to a large degree defined, expressed, promoted, and taken to heart through early Lutheran hymns. Examining what has been forgotten or neglected about the origins of congregational hymnody under Martin Luther's leadership, this study of worship, music, and liturgy is a significant contribution to Reformation scholarship.
