Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspirational story of hope and healing, Christ with Me in the Barrio and Beyond shares author Janie Peña Menchaca’s spiritual journey, beginning with her childhood adventures in San Antonio’s West Side barrio during the 1950s and 1960s. Her capers in her quest to “find” God are vividly displayed. Janie’s happy childhood and teenage years ended abruptly when she was kicked out of her home at the age of eighteen and ostracized by her family. Months later, she found herself pregnant and unwed, eventually leading to a marriage that shouldn’t have been. In 1974, while living in Seattle, Washington, and thinking of ending her life, she experienced a personal and dramatic encounter with Jesus Christ. Her life now changed, she eventually filed for divorce and fled from a violent and abusive marriage. The Lord, in his fathomless love and mercy, restored to Janie the years eaten away by the enemy, even reuniting her with her high school sweetheart who she thought had been killed while serving in Vietnam. After fifty years since meeting in high school, they were married in 2017. The confluence of Janie’s rich Mexican American heritage, her Catholic experiences, and her struggles, sorrows, and challenges that connected the dots as an adult to knowing her beloved Savior, merge to become a delicately woven message of love, faith and hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exploration of how people lived and died in eighteenth- and nineteenth- century New Mexico, Martina Will weaves together the stories of individuals and communities in this cultural crossroads of the American Southwest. The wills and burial registers at the heart of this study provide insights into the variety of ways in which death was understood by New Mexicans living in a period of profound social and political transitions. This volume addresses the model of the good death that settlers and friars brought with them to New Mexico, challenges to the model's application, and the eventual erosion of the ideal. The text also considers the effects of public health legislation that sought to protect the public welfare, as well as responses to these controversial and unpopular reforms. Will discusses both cultural continuity and regional adaptation, examining Spanish-American deathways in New Mexico during the colonial (approximately 1700–1821), Mexican (1821–1848), and early Territorial (1848–1880) periods.

Book excerpt: Christians and Christianity have been central to Hip Hop since its inception. This book explores the intersection of Christians and Hip Hop and the multiple outcomes of this intersection. It lays out the ways in which Christians and Hip Hop overlap and diverge. The intersection of Christians and Hip Hop brings together African diasporic cultures, lives, memories and worldviews. Moving beyond the focus on rappers and so-called "Christian Hip Hop," each chapter explores three major themes of the book: identifying Hip Hop, irreconcilable Christianity, and boundaries.There is a self-identified Christian Hip Hop (CHH) community that has received some scholarly attention. At the same time, scholars have analyzed Christianity and Hip Hop without focusing on the self-identified community. This book brings these various conversations together and show, through these three themes, the complexities of the intersection of Christians and Hip Hop. Hip Hop is more than rap music, it is an African diasporic phenomenon. These three themes elucidate the many characteristics of the intersection between Christians and Hip Hop and our reasoning for going beyond "Christian Hip Hop." This collection is a multi-faceted view of how religious belief plays a role in Hip Hoppas' lives and community. It will, therefore, be of great interest to scholars of Religion and Hip Hop, Hip Hop, African Diasporas, Religion and the Arts, Religion and Race and Black Theology as well as Religious Studies more generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Answering the Cry of the Poor in a Million Villages The church is facing a strategic opportunity—85 percent of people living in extreme poverty around the world reside in villages. These villages are also home to the majority of the world’s least reached people. The church has historically played an active role in wholistic ministry and alleviating global poverty with a goal of encouraging sustainable community development. However, while these outreaches may succeed in “helping without hurting,” they still often focus on limited-scope projects that provide good solutions to a single community. In Beyond Poverty, Terry Dalrymple calls us to move beyond sustainable projects in a single village to transformational movements that multiply change from village to village and sweep the countryside. Through multiple case studies based on the actual experiences of more than 900 organizations in 135 different countries, this book tells the story of a large and growing network of ministries around the world using the strategy of Community Health Evangelism to change the life of the poor forever. The principles in this book are not just a theory, but proven strategy. The church is uniquely positioned to accelerate poverty alleviation worldwide. This book will help you understand the fundamentals of catalyzing transformational movements that make disciples among the poor while lifting whole communities out of cycles of poverty and disease. This is our moment! This is your opportunity to advance a global movement and answer the cry of the poor in a million villages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if you were told that your grandfather is coming by the house tonight but you know that statement can't be true because he's dead and his funeral is tomorrow? I was twelve years old at the time when I heard those words. This was my first introduction into the world of malevolent demonic spirits. You will see exactly what spiritual warfare is really like--no red glowing eyes, no green vomit, no unusual smells, no possession, no levitation, and no flies. You will see what evil really does--what I did and the mistakes I made. You will see what the Holy Spirit showed me, what he told me to do, and how he protected and helped me to overcome the evil that came to my residence. This extremely interesting book, Beyond the Thin Veil, was written as a collection of short stories tied together, creating a series of short scenes within a larger story. Named after a prophet in the Bible, the author sets out to write stories of significant events about himself and the people that were important in his life in an entertaining and uniquely original story. Being born out of wedlock, Black, and with a Jewish first name, then being told when he was in the fifth grade that he had been adopted, turned his whole life upside down. He struggles in meeting his biological mom and his brothers and sisters for the first time. He found the inner strength and courage to push through those childhood years. Knowing little to nothing of his family's history, the author sets out to make sure that his defendants get a glimpse into his life, something that they wouldn't find on ancestry.com. Who doesn't like a good story? Like the Roman military tribune Clavius (Joseph Fiennes) in the movie Risen, the author took a similar journey that made me question my own held beliefs in spirituality, religion, and the supernatural, and I discovered many truths about my experiences. The book is original, dynamic, informative, unbelievable, entertaining, and true; it's quite a tale. And if you are fascinated by the supernatural and want to know more about the Holy Spirit, angels, demons, and spiritual warfare, then you will enjoy reading about his encounters with spirits, good and bad. How his faith in God strengthened him after receiving a Cancer diagnosis while writing the book. He will take you on an adventurous roller-coaster journey of emotional highs and lows. The author believes in the biblical truths and God's promises that he heard when he was a child. Attending a small church in California, he has put into practice those teachings and principles of faith, overcoming fear and life's hurdles. Nathan believes "When you take this journey through these pages, you will find that faith overcomes fear." The author encourages you to find your God-given purpose in life, to see your Boaz, God's providence, God's interventions in your life. Don't just survive--thrive!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interdisciplinary approach to the Iberian and Italian perceptions and representations of the Battle of Lepanto and the Muslim “other” The Battle of Lepanto, celebrated as the greatest triumph of Christianity over its Ottoman enemy, was soon transformed into a powerful myth through a vast media campaign. The varied storytelling and the many visual representations that contributed to shape the perception of the battle in Christian Europe are the focus of this book. In broader terms, Lepanto and Beyond also sheds light on the construction of religious alterity in the early modern Mediterranean. It presents cross-disciplinary case studies that explore the figure of the Muslim captive in historical documentation, artistic depictions, and literature. With a focus on the Republic of Genoa, the authors also aim to balance the historical scale and restore the important role of the Genoese in the general scholarly discussion of Lepanto and its images.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margie was an educated Canadian woman who married an educated Mexican man. If you would have mentioned “witchcraft” to her in those days, she would have laughed. They had a good life, remodeling a colonial house together, when her husband, an architect, started bringing home food from a woman's house. “How nice!” Margie thought. The woman, someone Margie never met, knew their favorite foods—Mexican as well as non-Mexican. Her husband had met the woman's son while singing in a church choir and took an interest in him. “So like Javier,” Margie thought. He was a gentle man, always thinking of others. But soon after the food starting arriving, Javier changed. He stayed out all night. His behavior became erratic. He became irresponsible and violent. Margie suspected an affair, alcohol, narcotics. But as his behavior became more and more unexplainable, so did hers. She saw wavy black lines in the air. She stared at flowers, mesmerized by their colors; she lost weight—her skin stretched tight against the framework of her face. And he, hallucinating, no longer in control of his mind, did not recognize her on the street. It was only a visit to a doctor that gave her the answer. She and her husband had been victims of poisoning and witchcraft.
