Описание:
As she sat in her plane seat, Susan Wilcox prepared for the adventure of her life: being a Baptist missionary in Spanish Harlem, New York City for the next two years. What occurred in those two years were events that not only changed the way she viewed herself and those around her, but what she understood of where God called her to be. Susan is actually the character name of Judith Tillman, who wrote this book, They Called Her Sister, from the extensive notes she took as part of her monthly reports as a missionary in New York. For as long as Susan knew, she felt in her spirit that God had called her to serve and share His love with the people of New York City, primarily those in poor, disadvantaged communities. After weeks of waiting to hear of an assignment, she was finally contacted to serve at Capilla Bautista de Harlem in New York. Growing up in a small, rural town in Colorado, Susan had already had her share of difficulties even before encountering those in New York. Her father was an alcoholic war veteran who didn't know how to uphold his responsibilities to his family until he came to know Jesus personally. The family struggled until God intervened in their lives, leading Susan to also give her heart to Jesus and feel in her spirit God's prompting her to New York. Fast forward to her two years, she experienced much within the city that never sleeps: seeing the slimy caverns of the subway, being assaulted, sharing God's love with drug addicts, and doing everything from serving food to teaching young children to read. The stories in They Called Her Sister reflect an awareness of how God can speak into a person's life, especially one seeking God's will, and bring them into some life-changing experiences.
As an industry insider and pioneering post-punk musician, Vivien Goldman’s perspective on music journalism is unusually well-rounded. In Revenge of the She-Punks, she probes four themes—identity, money, love, and protest—to explore what makes punk such a liberating art form for women.
With her visceral style, Goldman blends interviews, history, and her personal experience as one of Britain’s first female music writers in a book that reads like a vivid documentary of a genre defined by dismantling boundaries. A discussion of the Patti Smith song “Free Money,” for example, opens with Goldman on a shopping spree with Smith. Tamar-Kali, whose name pays homage to a Hindu goddess, describes the influence of her Gullah ancestors on her music, while the late Poly Styrene's daughter reflects on why her Somali-Scots-Irish mother wrote the 1978 punk anthem “Identity,” with the refrain “Identity is the crisis you can't see.” Other strands feature artists from farther afield (including in Colombia and Indonesia) and genre-busting revolutionaries such as Grace Jones, who wasn't exclusively punk but clearly influenced the movement while absorbing its liberating audacity. From punk's Euro origins to its international reach, this is an exhilarating world tour.
