Book Synopsis Strange Devotion by : Michael McDermit
Download or read book Strange Devotion written by Michael McDermit and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strange Devotion is a multimodal art book and exhibition that exhumes the Appalachian Gothic tradition to examine the often misunderstood nuances of past and present life in the Rust Belt and Appalachia. The book exists in intertwining parts--photographic essay and fictional narrative--that explore themes of overgrowth, hidden-in-plain-view peculiarity, and macabre banality, while still honoring the abundance of natural beauty and the complexity of lives lived within the ancient rolling hills and valleys. The two-person exhibition highlights similar themes through unique, single-edition photo collages that bring together images from the book in addition to found objects, laser-etched graphics, text, wallpaper and other printed ephemera.Jacob Koestler's photographs anchor the project by documenting wide swaths of the region, from the hidden caves and forests of Kentucky and West Virginia, to the rural landscapes of Ohio and industrial burnout of his native Pennsylvania. His photos invite the viewer to discover detail and beauty in both lush and stark regional terrain. Interweaving with Koestler's photos is Michael McDermit's four-part novelette which is rooted in an empathetic exploration of the all-too-common matriarchal experience of being put upon in a place that may or may not be doomed by God and man alike. The project includes a fabricated fanatical religious pamphlet, a pastiche of historical zealotry and kookiness, but imbued with a poignant story of loss and salvation all its own. The book also introduces new illustrations from Noelle Richard, who has collaborated with Koestler and McDermit on multiple previous projects. The result of these seemingly disparate elements is a work that exceeds the sum of its parts through a multifaceted investigation and vaunting of the surreality within a region and era often dismissed as bygone. Strange Devotion operates under the dictum that there is dignity in anything examined in detail, and while the project is less concerned with providing answers to any of the incongruousness and difficulties of life in Appalachia, above all there is a distinct affection for every leaf and every creek observed, every blight and every stain, but most importantly, every beating heart.

Book excerpt: A captivating debut novel about a woman who falls into an overwhelming mutual obsession with the Upper East Side mother who hires her as a nanny Ella is flat broke: wasting away on bodega coffee, barely making rent, seducing the occasional strange man who might buy her dinner. Unexpectedly, an Upper East Side couple named Lonnie and James rescue her from her empty bank account, offering her a job as a nanny and ushering her into their moneyed world. Ella’s days are now spent tending to the baby in their elegant brownstone or on extravagant excursions with the family. Both women are just 26—but unlike Ella, Lonnie has a doting husband and son, unmistakable artistic talent, and old family money. Ella is mesmerized by Lonnie’s girlish affection and disregard for the normal boundaries of friendship and marriage. Convinced there must be a secret behind Lonnie’s seemingly effortless life, Ella begins sifting through her belongings, meticulously cataloguing lipstick tubes and baby teeth and scraps of writing. All the while, Ella’s resentment grows, but so does an inexplicable and dizzying attraction. Soon Ella will be immersed so deeply in her cravings—for Lonnie’s lifestyle, her attention, her lovers—that she may never come up for air. Riveting, propulsive, and startling, Devotion is a masterful debut novel where mismatched power collides with blinding desire, incinerating our perceptions of femininity, lust, and privilege.

Download or read book Strange Fire written by John F. MacArthur and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Strange Fire, bestselling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history behind the modern Charismatic movement. What would God say about those who blatantly misrepresent His Holy Spirit; who exchange true worship for chaotic fits of mindless ecstasy; who replace the biblical gospel with vain illusions of health and wealth; who claim to prophesy in His name yet speak errors; and who sell false hope to desperate people for millions of dollars? The charismatic movement has always been a breeding-ground for scandal, greed, bad doctrine, and all kinds of spiritual chicanery. As a movement, it is clearly headed the wrong direction. And it is growing at an unprecedented rate. From the Word of Faith to the New Apostolic Reformation, the Charismatic movement is being consumed by the empty promises of the prosperity gospel. Too many charismatic celebrities promote a “Christianity” without Christ, a Holy Spirit without holiness. And their teaching is having a disastrous influence on a grand scale, as large television networks broadcast their heresies to every part of the world. In Strange Fire, MacArthur lays out a chilling case against the modern Charismatic movement that includes: Rejecting its false prophets. Speaking out against their errors. Showing true reverence to the Holy Spirit. Clinging to the Bible as the inerrant, authoritative Word of God and the one true standard by which all truth claims must be tested.

Book Synopsis Transgressive Devotion by : Natalie Wigg-Stevenson
Download or read book Transgressive Devotion written by Natalie Wigg-Stevenson and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic theology is in need of a new genre. In "Transgressive Devotion" Natalie Wigg-Stevenson articulates a theological vision of that genre as performance art. She argues that theology done as performance art stops trying to describe who God is, and starts trying to make God appear. Recognising that the act of studying theology or practicing ministry is always a performance, where the boundaries between what we see, feel, experience and learn are not just blurred but potentially invisible, Wigg-Stevenson brings together ethnographic theological fieldwork, historical and contemporary Christian theological traditions, and performance artworks themselves. A daring vision of theology which will energise anybody feeling ‘boxed in’ by the discipline, Transgressive Devotion blurs borders between orthodoxy, heterodoxy and heresy to reveal how the very act of doing theology makes God and humanity vulnerable to each other. This is theology which is a liturgy of Divine incantation. In other words: this is theology which is also prayer.

Father Pat has spent his whole life marveling at how God has turned each of his sufferings into a gift, and in I’m Not Alone Anymore!, his sixth book, he shares the heartwarming and oftentimes humorous story of a prayer that helped take his blind eyes off himself and refocus them on others. “God called me,” he says, “to give to others what I have received.” He invites readers to join him in asking, “Mary, mother of our savior, help us to see God’s love for us today!”
