    Book SynopsisThis book addresses factors behind the rise and victory of Javanese Muslim women political leaders in direct local elections in post-Suharto Indonesia. By using gender perspectives, this book reveals that the role of Islam, gender, and networks are decisive to their political victory. The Islamic belief on female leadership at the local level, exemplified by Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) as the dominant religious organization in Java, provides a strong religious foundation for Javanese Muslim women politicians to assume political leadership. Ability to use their gender in combination with the idea and practice of Islamic piety, and to use religio-political support and male/female base networks in political campaign, is significant. Analysis of the Javanese Muslim women political leaders’ commitment on women’s issues, however, reveals that having a female leader does not guarantee that they will exhibit women’s perspectives in their policies.Trade Review"...the book is a valuable contribution filling an important gap in the literature and should be on the reading lists of those interested in the issues of women studies and local politics in developing countries."Asian Journal

    Taylor & Francis Ltd God and Difference

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisGod and Difference interlaces Christian theology with queer and feminist theory for both critical and constructive ends. Linn Marie Tonstad uses queer theory to show certain failures of Christian thinking about God, gender, and sexuality. She employs queer theory to dissect trinitarian discourse and the resonances found in contemporary Christian thought between sexual difference and difference within the trinity. Tonstad critiques a broad swath of prominent Christian theologians who either use queer theory in their work or affirm the validity of same-sex relationships, arguing that their work inadvertently promotes gendered hierarchy. This volume contributes to central debates in Christianity over divine and human personhood, gendered relationality, and the trinity, and provides original accounts of God, sexual difference, and Christian community that are both theologically rich and thoroughly queer.Trade Review"Together, these essays demonstrate how rich God and Difference is, the contributions it offers to trinitarian theology and to (queer) ecclesiologies found amidst its deep rigor, its broad interdisciplinary engagement, and its both pressing and playful provocations. These engagements, as well as Tonstad's responses to them, mine some of those riches and evaluate what they might offer." - Brandy Daniels, Syndicate Symposium 2017Table of ContentsPrelude. Part 1. 1. Dramas of Desire 2. Suffering Difference: Graham Ward’s Trinitarian Romance 3. Speaking ‘Father’ Rightly: Kenotic Reformation into Sonship in Sarah Coakley Interlude. Part 2. 4.

    Book SynopsisTrade Review“Old School Love is the kind of love that makes you wanna wear matching shell-toe sneakers and dance in the living room. Rev Run and Justine personify black love and family. Their commitment to God is the foundation of their union. God is love. Old School Love is ‘like that, and that’s the way it is.’” — Nia Long “Bless up; Rev Run and his Queen Justine are a true example of love. The way that Rev upholds his queen and the way Justine supports her king serve as an inspiration for what unconditional love should look like. Rev and Justine share the same values as my queen and I, that God is the foundation of our love.” — DJ Khaled, Asahd's father “With all of the external pressures coming at us, we gotta love, forgive, and love some more. Don’t confuse stupidity with love. Intelligent love is the only way our people can survive. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Simmons.” — LL Cool J “Justine and Rev Run Simmons represent a level of integrity, heart, and spirituality like nothing that’s ever been seen in our generation. Their marriage has created a vibration in my life that was never there before I met them. My wife and I are honored to know Rev and Justine, and to have seen firsthand the magic and integrity that their marriage represents.” — Tyrese “The traditional values the authors espouse will appeal to young couples working to remain true to their wedding vows.” — Publishers Weekly "I’ve read many celebrity-authored books, and rarely do I feel compelled to recommend a book, but this one I’m going to recommend." — Ebony

    Book SynopsisFlourishing. Is that a word you would use to describe yourself, or only someone else?  Does the idea of flourishing in life seem out of reach for you?  Do you assume that you''ll have to wait until after you have gotten through your current struggle before you can figure out how to flourish? This might seem counterintuitive, but flourishing actually begins during the struggle. It''s in the fight through the pain that we can begin to thrive.  In The Fight to Flourish, Jennie Lusko points out that just like some plants need darkness to grow, it''s the dark and difficult times that God uses to grow our faith. Drawing on her experiences after the loss of her five-year-old daughter, Lenya, Jennie shows us that the ingredients for a fresh and thriving life can be found by fighting through even our most difficult days.

But Sean Dietrich''s wife, Jamie, wouldn''t let it. She dared to hope for and plan for a great big adventure, and she made him promise to do it with her. For love and the promise of biscuits along the way, Sean--who was never an athlete of any kind--undertook the bike ride of a lifetime and lived to talk about it. In this true-life tale, master storyteller Sean Dietrich--also known as the beloved columnist and creator of the blog and podcast Sean of the South--shares their hilarious, touching, and sometimes terrifying story of the long bike ride to conquer The Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal Towpath trail.
