Описание: How music makes worship and how worship makes music in Evangelical churches
Music is a nearly universal feature of congregational worship in American churches. Congregational singing is so ingrained in the experience of being at church that it is often misunderstood to be synonymous with worship. For those who assume responsibility for making music for congregational use, the relationship between music and worship is both promising and perilous - promise in the power of musical style and collective singing to facilitate worship, peril in the possibility that the experience of the music might eclipse the worship it was written to facilitate. As a result, those committed to making music for worship are constantly reminded of the paradox that they are writing songs for people who wish to express themselves, as directly as possible, to God.
This book shines a new light on how people who make music for worship also make worship from music. Based on interviews with more than 75 songwriters, worship leaders, and music industry executives, Shout to the Lord maps the social dimensions of sacred practice, illuminating how the producers of worship music understand the role of songs as both vehicles for, and practices of, faith and identity. This book accounts for the human qualities of religious experience and the practice of worship, and it makes a compelling case for how - sometimes - faith comes by hearing.

Описание: Around 1910, three Dutch intellectuals separately visited Manila. Feminist doctor Aletta Jacobs, orientalist scholar Gerret Rouffaer, and ethnologist Hendrik Muller were all curious to see how the Americans were implementing their colonial policy of "benevolent assimilation." In this book their reports are for the first time made available, adding to the social history of the city and the country.

Описание:
I knew from a young age that I wanted to make a lot of money, and a career in Finance seemed to be the best track to that end. As I grew older, and further exposed to this field through friends, family, and the media, I learned more, and became even more intrigued and focused. By high school graduation I knew where my passions lay, and a future on The Street became my dream. But few worthwhile accomplishments in life come easily, and, likewise, my path was fraught with obstacles and frustrations. I learned a lot through this process, and present here my trials, tribulations, and lessons learned which hopefully will benefit those who come after me with similar goals and aspirations. The process of procuring a position on The Street is no picnic, and my personal challenges, defeats, and successes are a story worth telling. Equally so, my experience once hired, and the knowledge gained as a newbie in a Financial firm, have a value all their own. I hope to pass along my hard-knocks to the next generation of Wall Streeters. I wish I had such advice when I was at the starting line.

Описание: "Intelligent, observant." --"The New Yorker" "If your patrons liked Roddy Doyle's "Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha" and if they rooted for Jamal Malik in "Slumdog Millionaire," they will love Harri Opoku." --"Library Journal," starred review "In turns funny and tragic . . . Its message is universal." -"Huffington Post" Advise yourself Jump into "Pigeon English" and experience the jubilant, infectious voice of Harrison Opoku--a boy awed by the city, obsessed with gummy candy, a friend to everyone he meets. See why he is "bo-styles." How being the fastest runner in Year 7 makes him "dope-fine." And how crazy things get when Harri and his best friend launch their own investigation into the murder of a classmate and one of the Dell Farm Crew's "hutious "criminals feels them closing in on him. You'll want this book to last "donkey hours," and you'll see why Harri is truly a "hero for our times."* "Like "Room ." . . and "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" . . . "Pigeon English" is a novel for adults told in the remarkable voice of a child. In this fine company, Kelman's novel stands out." --"Milwaukee Journal Sentinel" "Since Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, there have been certain rules observed when children play detective. Stephen Kelman throws them all out." --"Christian Science Monitor"
