Over the past few decades, Austin, Texas, has made a concerted effort to develop into a “technopolis,” becoming home to companies such as Dell and numerous start-ups in the 1990s. It has been a model for other cities across the nation that wish to become high-tech centers while still retaining the livability to attract residents. Nevertheless, this expansion and boom left poorer residents behind, many of them African American or Latino, despite local and federal efforts to increase lower-income and minority access to technology.
This book was born of a ten-year longitudinal study of the digital divide in Austin—a study that gradually evolved into a broader inquiry into Austin’s history as a segregated city, its turn toward becoming a technopolis, what the city and various groups did to address the digital divide, and how the most disadvantaged groups and individuals were affected by those programs.
The editors examine the impact of national and statewide digital inclusion programs created in the 1990s, as well as what happened when those programs were gradually cut back by conservative administrations after 2000. They also examine how the city of Austin persisted in its own efforts for digital inclusion by working with its public libraries and a number of local nonprofits, and the positive impact those programs had.
This book of 100 Sermon Outlines for Personal and Group Bible Studies to Preaching and Teaching God's Word
First: Because we can get so much by a personal study of God's word, and we can study anytime as convenient for us, it is highly recommended that we study by ourselves;
Second: Because many churches have cell groups which help the members study together for the spiritual growth of their members, and to encourage fellowship we highly encourage this method.

Описание:
Jeremiah Revel wanted to be just like his father-a proud member of The City Police Force. However, the corruption and deceit that infected the decaying city is too much for an honest man to take. He is forced to return his badge and make a living as a private investigator. However, he and his misfit group of friends take on a case that will uncloak the dangerous mysteries surrounding the criminal underworld known as The Harvest Union.
Being a man full of so much love, and so much anger, Jeremiah Revel struggles to understand whether he is the hero, or slowly becoming the villain. The line that separates the two becomes vague. Even though his friends surround him, Jeremiah Revel feels alone in this endeavor-save for Heather, his lovely escape. Somehow, a simple investigation turns into an unlikely adventure of heartache and survival, of betrayal and revival, where beauty and darkness coexist within the absence of light.
Joe Henderson offers a critique of the assumption that poetic form in the book of Jeremiah indicates authenticity. This assumption undergirds Bernhard Duhm's reconstructions (1901) of the prophet's biography and the book's composition, the basic components of the dominant paradigm for twentieth-century Jeremiah scholarship. Henderson argues that Duhm's model is best understood as an attempt to bring the book into conformity with nineteenth-century systems of aesthetics, historiography, and theology-and with the Grafian reconstruction of the history of Israel's religion. The accord between these systems and Duhm's assumption about poetic form has less to do with their common grasp of the historical reality of Hebrew prophecy than with their common roots in the Romantic theory of prophetic and poetic inspiration-a theory forged by Robert Lowth in his exposition (1752) of the poetry he found in the prophetic books.
Henderson contends that continued adherence to Duhm's foundational assumption has held back recent attempts to "move beyond Duhm" and overcome the fragmentation of the book entailed by his model. Rhetorical critics, who maintain that Jeremiah 2-10 is unified by the structural devices of the historical prophet, and redaction critics, who maintain that Jeremiah 11-20 is unified by the theological agenda of Deuteronomistic editors, both rely on the assumed authenticity of the poetry. Henderson observes that although these scholars have uncovered evidence of dramatic presentation in Jeremiah 2-20, they have failed to see that the dramatic nature of these chapters undermines their use for Duhm's historical-critical projects and reveals what actually unifies them-narrative progression.
