Jas M. Sullivan and Ashraf M. Esmail’s African American Identity: Racial and Cultural Dimensions of the Black Experience is a collection which makes use of multiple perspectives across the social sciences to address complex issues of race and identity. The contributors tackle questions about what African American racial identity means, how we may go about quantifying it, what the factors are in shaping identity development, and what effects racial identity has on psychological, political, educational, and health-related behavior. African American Identity aims to continue the conversation, rather than provide a beginning or an end. It is an in-depth study which uses quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods to explore the relationship between racial identity and psychological well-being, effects on parents and children, physical health, and related educational behavior. From these vantage points, Sullivan and Esmail provide a unique opportunity to further our understanding, extend our knowledge, and continue the debate.

This volume explores issues of moral character found in the different text versions of the book of Esther. First the study suggests the two most common approaches to perceived moral problems in the story of Esther: avoidance and transformation. Then it investigates selected portions of the Hebrew Masoretic Text, the Greek Septuagint Text, and the Greek Alpha-Text stories of Esther, focusing on issues of morality via character analysis. Finally it concentrates on the moral ambiguity found in all three versions, and on the ways in which moral character in the Greek stories has been transformed.

This is the first book to relate to the literature and art of the First World War to the literature and art produced by the Second World War and by earlier wars. A Muse of Fire is also the first serious attempt to examine the whole range of war poetry and war fiction in English in its relation to the work of German, French, Italian and - to a lesser extent - Russian, Danish, and Hungarian authors. Before 1914 few authors wrote about or experienced war. War, especially its reality, was not the proper subject of literature; while writers seldom served in the armed forces and were almost never in battle. More than half this book deals with the First World War. In successive chapters A.D. Harvey discusses what sort of people, in what sort of physical and psychological conditions, wrote about the war; or painted it; how they handled the challenge of describing their experiences with complete honesty; what literary and artistic techniques they employed; how other forms of creative talent were fostered by the war; and how far memoirs of the war prepared the way for the next one. The account given of the Second World War in the final section, like the chapters on pre-1914 war literature, provides far more than simply an introduction and conclusion to the central part of the book. It is an important contribution to an understanding of how literature and art relate to the psychological and social structures of the communities within which they are produced.

C.S. Lewis has influenced countless Christians in their preaching and evangelical witness from the pulpit today, and he is the most quoted Christian across several Protestant denominations, known for his wit, insight, and perspectives on Christian issues from life to deathand beyond. In Lessons from C. S. Lewis, author and professor Harvey E. Solganick presents C. S. Lewis from an evangelical perspective concerning his stand on philosophical and ethical issues relevant to evangelical Christians today. First providing a compelling history of Lewiss youth and spiritual maturation, Dr. Solganick also considers some of the unexplored tenets of C. S. Lewiss literary, philosophical, and theological legacy, focusing especially on the implications of Lewiss work for evangelism and discipleship. How did this one man influence so many readers of all ages and backgrounds, from the most highly educated to the common layperson? How did this man, his life, and his writings help atheists, agnostics, humanists, reluctant converts, mystics, and anti-Christians to seek Christ? Explore in Lessons from C. S. Lewis an answer, and perhaps be surprised by joy and inspired by Lewis to find your soul, be saved, evangelize others, and grow in Christian discipleship.
Twenty-eight years old, single minded, Deron Stone, finds that his perfectly, planned life is filling with a destiny out of control. He refuses to understand that his current life is guided by what others do around him, rather than of his own choices. In his effort to always want to be good guy/bad guy Deron Stone, his identity sometimes crosses him up. He has the best of friends. Tony Parker; divorced, confirmed, player. Tony looks at life as a big ole world to wreck up in and is not interested in compromise. Bryan Prescott; a mild mannered, practicing, Christian, soon to be married has discovered, early, that his life is with his new fiancee. Deron also has his choices of women. Unlike Tony, but much like Bryan, he wants to settle down and get married...someday. Tony and Deron always have their eyes on many women, but one particular woman, Cheresse Bennett, enters Deron's life; like a black cat across his path. As she causes him to unravel, out of the guidelines he has always uses as a comfort zone; in walks Dawn Williams; a practicing, self-disciplined, Christian, who is the exact opposite of Cheresse. Instantly Deron is thrust into a hot bed of deceit, lost, lies and betrayals as he tries to make sense of the chaos that is unfolding around him. Events that will force him to choose what path he needs to follow, not so much what he wants to follow. Will he survive it?
