Contemporary Worship Music and Everyday Musical Lives

Contemporary Worship Music and Everyday Musical Lives

By: Mark Porter

Whilst Contemporary Worship Music arose out of a desire to relate the music of the church to the music of everyday life, this function can quickly be called into question by the diversity of musical lives present in contemporary society. Mark Porter examines the relationship between individuals’ musical lives away from a Contemporary Worship Music environment and their diverse experiences of music within it, presenting important insights into the complex and sometimes contradictory relationships between congregants’ musical lives within and outside of religious worship. Through detailed ethnographic investigation Porter challenges common evangelical ideals of musical neutrality, suggesting the importance of considering musical tastes and preferences through an ethical lens. He employs cosmopolitanism as an interpretative framework for understanding the dynamics of diverse musical communities, positioning it as a stronger alternative to common assimilationist and multiculturalist models.

I am Your Father

What every heart needs to know

By: Mark Stibbe

We live in an increasingly fatherless society. Fatherless children are far more likely to be criminals or victims. In January 2009 Mark quit as the senior leader of a successful and progressive Anglican congregation, to found a ministry called The Father's House, dedicated to taking the Father's love to the fatherless. 'The task of the family of God is to take the Father's love to the fatherless. To do this, those who are already members of God's family need to have their father wounds healed. This book will help those with hearts broken by their earthly fathers to find in their Heavenly Father the love of all loves.' In Part 1, Mark describes the different ways in which fathers can hurt their children. In Part 2, he goes deeper, defining the wound as 'the orphan heart' and describing the main symptoms of this condition in peoples' lives. In Part 3, he shows how Christians can find true healing through experiencing the Spirit of adoption.

Eat This Book or Use it for Toilet Paper

Love in the Time of Corona

By: Mark Stibbe

Dont Panic in the Corona Storm! We are living, without any doubt, through one of the greatest global crises in history. Many nations are now in total lockdown as the virus known as COVID-19 spreads across the Earth. Hospitals are being overrun and entire economies are in great danger of meltdown. We are in what Mark Stibbe calls a "Corona Storm." While many news outlets and conspiracy theorists are inciting a spirit of fear, Mark Stibbe encourages us to realize that the best antidote is to press the reset button in our lives and to initiate a pandemic of love love for God, for our neighbor, for ourselves. Many people are responding to the Corona Storm like orphans, hoarding food and toilet rolls, acting out of a center of fear. A much healthier, wiser and more Biblical approach is to behave like Gods sons and daughters and to live from a center of love. This is not the time to stockpile toilet rolls. Its time for putting first things first and for falling in love with God. In this current storm, the world is waiting, and the Earth is groaning, for such as these.

Health Behavior Change

Theories, Methods and Interventions

By: Andrew Prestwich,Jared Kenworthy,Mark Conner

The new and updated edition of Health Behavior Change: Theories, Methods and Interventions, provides a complete understanding of health behavior change, from its theoretical building blocks to the practical challenges of developing and testing an intervention. Based on the latest evidence in the field, the authors present a theory-driven, scientific approach to understanding and changing health behaviors, examining the theories that explain health behavior, the techniques that most effectively change health behavior, and the methods and statistical approaches essential to generating the underpinning evidence. This approach is presented in the context of both health promoting behaviors such as healthy eating, and health risk behaviors such as smoking, and considers not only the role of individuals but also other important influences on health behavior including the environment, policy, and technology. Among other additions, the revised edition includes the following features: More classic and modern theories explained and critiqued Coverage of issues related to tackling COVID-19 through behavior change Consideration of the replicability crisis, its causes, impact and potential solutions Wider coverage of methods including different types of randomized trials, pilot studies, feasibility studies, consensus methods, N-of-1 studies and megastudies Expanded critical skills toolkit Fostering a critical perspective, the book includes features to enable readers to better evaluate evidence and Burning Issue Boxes to highlight relevant, topical issues in the field. It will be essential reading for students and researchers of health psychology, public health and social work, as well as any professional working in this important area, particularly those tasked with reducing the high proportion of individuals failing to meet national health behavior targets.

Loving God through the Truth, Second Edition

An Introduction to Systematic Theology

By: Mark Kim

The word theology is often construed by many as referring to a very dry and academic discipline only reserved for the professional clergy and seminary professors. Many lay Christians in the church are intimidated by the subject and feel it to be a tedious intellectual exercise that is of no use for their spiritual growth and mission of the church. In an attempt to address this concern, Mark Kim presents here an introductory systematic theology that deals with the core doctrinal topics of Christianity that is accessible for the average layperson. The work will engage heavily with Scripture and the voices of the past and present who have contributed to the total theological voice of the church at large. In this second edition of the work, there is included an extra chapter on the doctrine of the Christian life. As pointed out in the first edition of the work, theology should foremost be practical in its results and application. The author addresses this concern by including a new chapter discussing the nature of the Christian life and how Christians should live in the world.

God Walk

Moving at the Speed of Your Soul

By: Mark Buchanan

Drawing on Jesus's example of walking, bestselling author Mark Buchanan explores one of the oldest spiritual practices of our faith. What happens when we literally walk out our Christian life? We discover the joy of traveling at the speed of our soul. We often act as if faith is only about the mind. But what about our bodies? What does our physical being have to do with our spiritual life? When the Bible exhorts us to walk in the light, or walk by faith, or walk in truth, it means these things literally as much as figuratively. The Christian faith always involves walking out, as again and again we find the holy in the ordinary. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, and then he was off. The most obvious thing about Jesus's method of discipleship, in fact, is that he walked and invited others to walk with him. Jesus is always "on the way," "arriving," "leaving," "approaching," "coming upon." It's in the walking that his disciples are taught, formed, tested, empowered, and released. Part theology, part history, part field guide, God Walk explores walking as spiritual formation, walking as healing, walking as exercise, walking as prayer, walking as pilgrimage, suffering, friendship, and attentiveness. It is a book about being alongside the God who, incarnate in Jesus, turns to us as he passes by--always on foot--and says simply, "Come, follow me." With practical insight and biblical reflections told in his distinct voice, Buchanan provides specific walking exercises so you can immediately implement the practice of going "God speed." Whether you are walking around the neighborhood or hiking in the mountains, walking offers the potential to awaken your life with Christ as it revives body and soul.

The Caroline Divines and the Church of Rome

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Caroline Divines and the Church of Rome

A Contribution to Current Ecumenical Dialogue

By: Mark Langham

In the early seventeenth century, as the vehement aggression of the early Reformation faded, the Church of England was able to draw upon scholars of remarkable ability to present a more thoughtful defence of its position. The Caroline Divines, who flourished under King Charles I, drew upon vast erudition and literary skill, to refute the claims of the Church of Rome and affirm the purity of the English religious settlement. This book examines their writings in the context of modern ecumenical dialogue, notably that of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) to ask whether their arguments are still valid, and indeed whether they can contribute to contemporary ecumenical progress. Drawing upon an under-used resource within Anglicanism’s own theological history, this volume shows how the restatement by the Caroline Divines of the catholic identity of the Church prefigured the work of ARCIC, and provides Anglicans with a vocabulary drawn from within their own tradition that avoids some of the polemical and disputed formulations of the Roman Catholic tradition.

The Phytochemical Landscape

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Phytochemical Landscape

Linking Trophic Interactions and Nutrient Dynamics

By: Mark D. Hunter

The dazzling variation in plant chemistry is a primary mediator of trophic interactions, including herbivory, predation, parasitism, and disease. At the same time, such interactions feed back to influence spatial and temporal variation in the chemistry of plants. In this book, Mark Hunter provides a novel approach to linking the trophic interactions of organisms with the cycling of nutrients in ecosystems. Hunter introduces the concept of the "phytochemical landscape"—the shifting spatial and temporal mosaic of plant chemistry that serves as the nexus between trophic interactions and nutrient dynamics. He shows how plant chemistry is both a cause and consequence of trophic interactions, and how it also mediates ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling. Nutrients and organic molecules in plant tissues affect decomposition rates and the fluxes of elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. The availability of these same nutrients influences the chemistry of cells and tissues that plants produce. In combination, these feedback routes generate pathways by which trophic interactions influence nutrient dynamics and vice versa, mediated through plant chemistry. Hunter provides evidence from terrestrial and aquatic systems for each of these pathways, and describes how a focus on the phytochemical landscape enables us to better understand and manage the ecosystems in which we live. Essential reading for students and researchers alike, this book offers an integrated approach to population-, community-, and ecosystem-level ecological processes.

Criminal Law and Precrime

Criminal Law and Precrime

Legal Studies in Canadian Punishment and Surveillance in Anticipation of Criminal Guilt

By: Richard Jochelson,James Gacek,Lauren Menzie,Kirsten Kramar,Mark Doerksen

In Philip K. Dick’s short story Minority Report, the institution of Precrime punishes people with imprisonment for crimes they would have committed had they not been prevented. With Dick’s allegorical inspiration, the authors of Criminal Law and Precrime: Legal Studies in Canadian Punishment and Surveillance in Anticipation of Criminal Guilt posit that recent developments in Canadian law indicate a trend toward imposing punitive measures at increasingly earlier stages of the prosecutorial process. The result is a potentially new field of criminal management that could be characterized as "precrime"—particularly the use of the law as a technology of surveillance and prevention since "terror" became a justification for intervention. The authors note that as risk management logics (based in actuarial sciences) have shifted to precautionary ones (based in administrative sciences), the law has responded by developing techniques in the arena of criminal regulation in light of the "war on terror": the need to ensure security, the proliferation of digital data, and the development of drones, social networking, and cloud storage to gather personal data. The authors view shifts in criminal investigation; the substantive criminal law of sexual expression, conduct, and work; and civil forfeiture as emblematic of precrime populism. The unifying theme of these techniques is that they occur prior to state-identified crime, arise out of a precautionary philosophy, and seek to presume (or circumvent) criminality. The book is a provocative read for scholars and students in criminal law, policing, and surveillance, as well as for those interested in how areas of law, such as immigration, health, and anti-terrorism, are mobilizing the logics of risk and surveillance in new ways that emphasize precaution. The authors invite legal scholars to place the analytical lens of precrime on criminal and regulatory practices in Canada as well as other Western nations across the globe.

The Disappearance of Criminal Law

Police Powers and the Supreme Court

By: Richard Jochelson,Kirsten Johnson Kramar,Mark Doerksen

In The Disappearance of Criminal Law, Richard Jochelson and Kirsten Kramar examine the rationales underpinning Supreme Court of Canada cases that address the power of the police. These cases involve police power in relation to search, seizure and detention; an individual's right to silence, counsel and privacy; and the exclusion of evidence. Together these decisions can be understood as the rules by which good governments should act, and they serve to legitimate the actions of the police. Because there is no singular definition of "police powers," some argue that they do not exist, nor is there a specific theory about such powers, even though the term appears thousands of times in legal databases. Jochelson and Kramar illustrate the ways in which the Supreme Court, by allowing for increased surveillance and control by the state, is using the Charter to impose limitations on the rights of Canadians.
