Learning Theology through the Church's Worship

An Introduction to Christian Belief

By: Dennis Okholm

This book introduces students to theology with sustained attention to how Christian beliefs and the church's worship interact, both historically and in practice. Dennis Okholm approaches the subject from the necessary intersection of theology and liturgy, showing that learning the church's doctrine apart from its worship undermines both. The book flows as if the reader were participating in a service of worship. It features illustrative charts and figures that complement challenging concepts and includes suggestions for assignments at the end of the book.

Benjamin Constant

A Biography

By: Dennis Wood

`For forty years I have defended the same principle: freedom in everything, in religion, in philosophy, in literature, in industry, in politics - and by freedom I mean the triumph of the individual.' Constant thus summarized his beliefs at the end of his life. A political theorist and a passionate defender of individual liberty, he was also the author of one of the greatest French novels of psychological insight, Adolphe. In a major new biography Dennis Wood traces the development of Constant as a writer centrally preoccupied with the problematics of freedom, not only in the fields of politics and religious belief but also in his own troubled relationship with several women.

A Worker's Economist

John R. Commons and His Legacy from Progressivism to the War on Poverty

By: John Dennis Chasse

John R. Commons is one of the few reformers of the past century whose major works are still actively read, whose ideas are still debated, and whose principles are still applied to the analysis of contemporary problems. His life spanned the years of America’s “Great Transformation,” from a nation of shopkeepers, farmers, and small towns to one of giant corporations, landless laborers, and crowded cities. He became involved in almost every aspect of America’s response to the damaging side effects of that transformation. A Worker’s Economist begins with John Commons’ childhood and education and continues through his life as a scholar, teacher, administrator, and reformer. Commons’ list of accomplishments are great in number and overall effect. He worked on the staff of the first government commission to investigate the economic and social consequences of corporate mergers. He served as a public representative on the commission that investigated industrial violence and workplace relations. He was a participant observer in America’s largest and most historic mineworkers’ strike. He wrote and administered the nation’s first constitutional worker compensation law. He developed principles of social reform and public administration that his students carried into the design and administration of the Social Security system as well as Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty. John Dennis Chasse reviews Commons’ major works, describes the people with whom he worked, and follows the fortunes of the unions that were intrinsic to his vision of “collective democracy.” As a final testament to Commons’ importance, Chasse considers his legacy as it endures in the work of his students and beyond.

Engaging Minds

Cultures of Education and Practices of Teaching

By: Brent Davis,Dennis Sumara,Rebecca Luce-Kapler

Engaging Minds: Cultures of Education and Practices of Teaching explores the diverse beliefs and practices that define the current landscape of formal education. The 3rd edition of this introduction to interdisciplinary studies of teaching and learning to teach is restructured around four prominent historical moments in formal education: Standardized Education, Authentic Education, Democratic Citizenship Education, Systemic Sustainability Education. These moments serve as the foci of the four sections of the book, each with three chapters dealing respectively with history, epistemology, and pedagogy within the moment. This structure makes it possible to read the book in two ways – either "horizontally" through the four in-depth treatments of the moments or "vertically" through coherent threads of history, epistemology, and pedagogy. Pedagogical features include suggestions for delving deeper to get at subtleties that can’t be simply stated or appreciated through reading alone, several strategies to highlight and distinguish important vocabulary in the text, and more than 150 key theorists and researchers included among the search terms and in the Influences section rather than a formal reference list.

Abiding in the Secret Place

Practical Keys to Practicing the Presence of God in Your Everyday Life

By: Dr. Dennis Clark,Dr. Jennifer Clark

Most believers know the importance of Jesus' words in John 15: "Abide in Me." But at the end of each day we look back and feel that we were distant from His presence, and failed to yield the Godly fruit He desires. In Abiding in the Secret Place, Drs. Dennis and Jen Clark help everyday believers create a constant place of close encounters with God. Drs. Dennis and Jen Clark have spent years cultivating their daily communion with the Lord and trained thousands of everyday Christians to do the same. Having struggled, learned, and grown in this practice, they are able to help you create a constant place of secret encounters with God. In Abiding in the Secret Place, the Clarks offer practical “how-tos” that will transform you from the inside out. Including the full-length version of the Christian classic, The Practice of the Presence of God, the Clarks take it a step further, giving you practical strategies to experience the same supernatural communion with God that Brother Lawrence enjoyed. You will learn to walk out of your prayer closet without leaving the sense of God’s supernatural presence behind! Their revelatory insights will teach you: To recognize the whispers of your Father in Heaven calling you closer. How to fully yield yourself to the Lord. Steps to breaking free from toxic emotions that war against closeness with God. The importance of forgiving from the secret place. How to stay in peace, regardless of your circumstances. Don’t waste another day in fruitless living! Step into your secret place and learn to live every moment under the canopy of His presence.

Birds through Indigenous Eyes

Native Perspectives on Birds of the Eastern Woodlands

By: Dennis Gaffin

An intimate and personal account of the profound roles birds play in the lives of some Indigenous people For many hours over a period of years, white anthropologist Dennis Gaffin and two Indigenous friends, Michael Bastine and John Volpe, recorded their conversations about a shared passion: the birds of upstate New York and southern Ontario. In these lively, informal talks, Bastine (a healer and naturalist of Algonquin descent) and Volpe (a naturalist and animal rehabilitator of Ojibwe and Métis descent) shared their experiences of, and beliefs about, birds, describing the profound spiritual, psychological, and social roles of birds in the lives of some Indigenous people. Birds through Indigenous Eyes presents highlights of these conversations, placing them in context and showing how Native understandings of birds contrast with conventional Western views. Bastine and Volpe bring to life Algonquin, Ojibwe, and Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) beliefs about birds. They reveal how specific birds and bird species are seamlessly integrated into spirituality and everyday thought and action, how birds bring important messages to individual people, how a bird species can become associated with a person, and how birds provide warnings about our endangered environment. Over the course of the book, birds such as the house sparrow, Eastern phoebe, Northern flicker, belted kingfisher, gray catbird, cedar waxwing, and black-capped chickadee are shown in a new light—as spiritual and practical helpers that can teach humans how to live well. An original work of ethno-ornithology that offers a rare close-up look at some Native views on birds, Birds through Indigenous Eyes opens rich new perspectives on the deep connections between birds and humans.

The Final Mystery of Eagle Falls

By: Dennis Prokop

The Final Mystery of Eagle Falls finds George Huntington, his wife, Laura, and their two-year-old son, Bobby, living a tranquil life on his grandfather’s small farm near the town of Eagle Falls, West Virginia. That tranquility was first broken when George’s grandfather uncharacteristically became entangled with the Department of Justice when he tried to sell undocumented diamonds acquired in his past. Then, the town’s mysterious past and Laura’s Native American heritage seemed to collide and create sinister occurrences that somehow involved Bobby and grew in intensity as time went on. The young family quickly became desperate to end the frightening episodes and to understand the clues that seemed to point to the spirit world being involved. With nowhere else to turn, Laura reluctantly contacted Byron Bradley, an old love interest that she hadn’t seen in years, for help. With Byron’s ancestral archaeologist background including his expertise on Native American folklore and the spirit world, a risky all-or-nothing plan was developed to thwart Bobby’s unwanted visitors.

The Spirit Of The All: The Spirit Of Life

By: Dennis Best

The Spirit Of The All is a book of short stories which focus on what might be called the supernatural world. Each tale depicts one or more of the many ideas relating to what people believe the spirit is. This is not a work of religious beliefs or religious stories, nor is it a series of ghost stories. It is, instead, a collection of stories which regards spiritual energy as the unseen, but powerful, background to our ordinary lives with the tales featuring the good, the bad and the unlikeliest of events and experiences.

The Alchemical Wedding

Christian Rosenkreutz, the Initiate of Misunderstanding

By: Dennis Klocek

The 1616 classic treasure of Western esoteric wisdom, The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz (traditionally attributed to Johann Valentinus Andreae) is one of three key manifestos of the Rosicrucians and alchemists in general. It narrates a story of Christian Rosenkreutz, who was invited to a miraculous castle to assist in the "chemical wedding" of the king and the queen --the husband and the bride. Filled with alchemical metaphors, coded words, and images, Dennis Klocek describes --in his inimitable style --much of the profound meaning behind the colorful and surprising events throughout the seven-day "initiation" of Christian Rosenkreutz. Each chapter is devoted to one of the seven days, featuring an overview, followed by fresh translations of the original text, and illumined by Klocek's comprehensive and unique commentaries --all of which providies an accessible introduction to the real meaning behind the Rosicrucian path of inner development. "The Bridegroom is Christ, and the Bride is the human soul.... Right now, they might be engaged, but they will eventually become married; the universal issue is commitment. The Bridegroom is eager, but the Bride needs time to feel things out and commit to the union. If the true 'wedding' is to take place, the hopes and needs of both must first be balanced so that each is willing to commit to the other. A hesitant soul requires time to become willing to commit to anxiety-producing uncertainty, travail, and a whole lot of unknowing. Misunderstanding and the feeling of uncertainty that not knowing produces in the soul is exactly the challenge Christian Rosenkreutz faces again and again. This is the central motif in the book. Thus, the subtitle of The Alchemical Wedding: 'The Initiate of Misunderstanding.'" --Dennis Klocek

Guilty Creatures

Renaissance Poetry and the Ethics of Authorship

By: Dennis Kezar

In this innovative and learned study, Dennis Kezar examines how Renaissance poets conceive the theme of killing as a specifically representational and interpretive form of violence. Closely reading both major poets and lesser known authors of the early modern period, Kezar explores the ethical self-consciousness and accountability that attend literary killing, paying particular attention to the ways in which this reflection indicates the poet's understanding of his audience. Among the many poems through which Kezar explores the concept of authorial guilt elicited by violent representation are Skelton's Phyllyp Sparowe, Spenser's Faerie Queene, Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, the multi-authored Witch of Edmonton, and Milton's Samson Agonistes.

Studies in Daniel

By: Dennis Dinger

The book of Daniel, one of God's prophets, is one of the most important prophetic books of the Bible. Its contents can be broken down into three main categories. First, it details the lives of Daniel and his three friends during the seventy years of captivity of the people of Judah and Jerusalem in Babylon. Second, it documents dealings Daniel and friends had with four kings of Babylon. Third, it presents the dreams of King Nebuchadnezzar and the prophetic visions of Daniel. With God's help, Daniel interpreted the king's dreams. Then, God sent the angel Gabriel to help Daniel understand his own visions. The king's dreams showed the future kingdoms of mankind in this world. Daniel's visions showed the future of the children of Israel from his time forward, to the end times, and beyond. Since the end times still lie ahead, the prophecies of Daniel are very relevant to all peoples of the world.

Marine, Public Servant, Kansan

The Life of Ernest Garcia

By: Dennis Raphael Garcia

For Ernest “Ernie” Garcia, the American dream began in Mexico more than a hundred years ago. Ernie, raised in Kansas, became the US Senate sergeant at arms and escorted President Ronald Reagan to the podium to deliver the State of the Union address. After the president’s speech, Ernie reflected on his family’s long and arduous journey from Zacatecas to El Paso to Kansas as well as on his presence in the Capitol alongside the president, Congress, and the Supreme Court. He was certain his ancestors never imagined that their dreams would lead him to the White House. Ernie’s experience as sergeant at arms is just one chapter in the inspiring life story told in this book. Drawing upon oral histories recounted by family members, friends, and Ernie himself, Dennis Raphael Garcia reaches back to the travails and grit of great-grandfather Pedro as he made his way to the American heartland with his son Jose. Like so many immigrants with courage and determination, they found great hardship but also great opportunity. A decade of field labor, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and two world wars laid the groundwork for Ernie’s story. Marine, Public Servant, Kansan describes how this Mexican American boy, fatherless at a young age and facing discrimination, found his way to a place alongside a senator and a president through hard work and education—and some basketball. Along the way he realized his own ambition to become an officer in the Marine Corps. The book follows Ernie through both Iraq wars to his service, even in retirement, as superintendent of the Kansas State Highway Patrol. In Marine, Public Servant, Kansan, the remarkable character of not just one Kansan son of Mexican immigrants, but also the immigrant experience itself is eloquently and poignantly weaved into the story of Ernie and his family’s American dream.

How to Walk in Christ

By: Dennis A. Lackie

Sin cannot be gotten rid of by sinfulness. Unrighteousness cannot sprout forth righteousness. An unjust condition cannot bring about justification. From an unsanctified condition, sanctification can never grow. From unholiness, holiness cannot possibly be brought into reality. And an incapacitated moral nature can never bring about a proper moral condition. Trying within our own strength, ability, and capacities to bring about what God desires for us, is like trying to get flood waters to dry up by throwing buckets of water on them. It could also be compared to trying to put out a fire with a flame thrower, or even like trying to paint a wall white, by using black paint. Hi, my name is Dennis Lackie. I was born in Gladwin, Michigan, but not long afterwards moved with my parents to Kent City, where they raised me on a dairy farm until I was eleven. We then moved to a small town where my Dad started developing property on a lake. After graduating from Chippewa Hills High School in 1968, I got a job at Oldsmobile in Lansing, Michigan, from where I retired about ten years ago. I also graduated from SDS, a computer programming school and spent time in Tulsa where I enrolled in Rhema Bible Training Center the year after that school was established. I learned some very important things through attending Rhema: and I'm thankful for all of the Lords tender mercies.

To My Boys

By: Dennis Merlo

You can acquire a new friend, a new home, a new passion in life. Only once are you born into a family, and if you’re fortunate enough to find a lasting spouse and bring children into this world, just once are they born into your family. That is special. God is always putting us to the test. Not always do we pass that test; this certainly is true of me. Oftentimes it’s not what you do in life, but what’s more important is what you’ve learned from it. From the onset of my childhood, this book reflects that theme and offers my own personal insights into life’s valuable lessons. My thoughts include reactions to historic events in my lifetime including JFK’s assassination, the cultural revolution, Muhammed Ali, the rock & roll music world, 9/11 and much more. As a parent, you’ll find yourself nodding your head yes as you read through this story. This books’ second half especially pivots to a more emotional tone after my marriage to Sandy and bringing our two boys, Mark and Bradley, into this world. This story details the strong love for my own parents and Sandy, and certainly I share many fun moments with my sons. But perhaps more than anything, I begin to internalize and agonize over the obstacles and challenges that confront my own two boys. Ultimately, it reveals a much-greater awareness of myself, my own purpose in life, and the profound meaning that Mark and Bradley hold for me.

Mortus

By: Dennis K Hausker

David Cray suffers a trauma which ends the life he's known on Earth. An unknown uncle shows up to convince him to travel to his father's planet where he begins a life journey that starts as a quest to the dark fortress of Mortus. He gathers a group of friends who share his trials, tribulations, and his hopes. Dave begins to transform as his buried heritage from his father develops and that includes magic and power. Dave comes to Faenum unprepared in virtually every way. He's constantly surprised by what he encounters, he performs miraculous acts he can't explain, he doubts his decisions and feels overwhelmed by events and people in his new world. Dave becomes the de facto leader of the quest, but leads them into a trap and galling captivity. They escape from Mortus eventually but they're much changed people, never to be the same again.

The Home Place

Essays on Robert Kroetsch's Poetry

By: Dennis Cooley

He wants to sit and visit at the kitchen table, and he can hardly wait to get on the road again." —From Chapter 1 Robert Kroetsch, one of Canada's most important writers, was a fierce regionalist with a porous yet resilient sense of "home." Although his criticism and fiction have received extensive attention, his poetry remains underexplored. This exuberantly polyvocal text, insightfully written by dennis cooley—who knew Kroetsch and worked with him for decades—seeks to correct that imbalance. The Home Place offers a dazzling, playful, and intellectually complex conversation drawing together personal recollections, Kroetsch's archival materials, and the international body of Kroetsch scholarship. For literary scholars and anyone who appreciates Canadian literature, The Home Place will represent the standard critical evaluation of Kroetsch's poetry for years to come.
