Jesus said that He knows His sheep by name. He says we are like sheep gone astray. Master Shepherd takes Sallman's familiar scene and given the sheep imaginary lives and situations similar to what we may encounter on our earthly journey. The answers He gives and the great love and forgiveness He bestows are found for us in Scripture. So look and identify faithful Seth, angry Mitch, abused Bonnie, proud Herman, and busy Irma. Mourn with Sue, care like Tabatha. There are many more kinds of sheep we might identify with or know. We certainly are not sheep, but we need the presence, love, forgiveness and grace He promised to us. Believe!

The Morphosyntax of Gender

The Morphosyntax of Gender

By: Ruth T. Kramer

This book presents a new cross-linguistic analysis of gender and its effects on morphosyntax. It addresses questions including the syntactic location of gender features; the role of natural gender; and the relationship between syntactic gender features and the morphological realization of gender. Ruth Kramer argues that gender features are syntactically located on the n head ('little n'), which serves to nominalize category-neutral roots. Those gender features are either interpretable, as in the case of natural gender, or uninterpretable, like the gender of an inanimate noun in Spanish. Adopting Distributed Morphology, the book lays out how the gender features on n map onto the gender features relevant for morphological exponence. The analysis is supported by an in-depth case study of Amharic, which poses challenges for previous gender analyses and provides clear support for gender on n. The proposals generate a typology of two- and three-gender systems, with the various types illustrated using data from a genetically diverse set of languages. Finally, further evidence for gender being on n is provided from case studies of Somali and Romanian, as well as from the relationship between gender and other linguistic phenomena including derived nouns and declension class. Overall, the book provides one of the first large-scale, cross-linguistically-oriented, theoretical approaches to the morphosyntax of gender.

Sweatshop Strife

Sweatshop Strife

Class, Ethnicity, and Gender in the Jewish Labour Movement of Toronto, 1900-1939

By: Ruth A. Frager

In the first half of the twentieth century, many of Toronto's immigrant Jews eked out a living in the needle-trade sweatshops of Spadina Avenue. In response to their expliotation on the shop floor, immigrant Jewish garment workers built one of the most advanced sections of the Canadian and American labour movements. Much more than a collective bargaining agency, Toronto's Jewish labour movement had a distinctly socialist orientation and grew out of a vibrant Jewish working-class culture. Ruth Frager examines the development of this unique movement, its sources of strength, and its limitations, focusing particularly on the complex interplay of class, ethnic, and gender interests and identities in the history of the movement. She examines the relationships between Jewish workers and Jewish manufacturers as well as relations between Jewish and non-Jewish workers and male and female workers in the city's clothing industry. In its prime, Toronto's Jewish labour movement struggled not only to improve hard sweatshop condistions but also to bring about a fundamental socialist transformation. It was an uphill battle. Drastic economic downturns, hard employer offensives, and state repressions all worked against unionists' workplace demands. Ethnic, gender, and ideological divisions weakened the movement and were manipulated by employers and their allies. Drawing on her knowledge of Yiddish, Frager has been able to gain access to original records that shed new light on an important chapter in Canadian ethnic, labour, and women's history.

Into Each Life Tears Must Fall

By: Ruth Harlin

Remembering Eddie Joe Lloyd I knew the story of your wrongful conviction before I knew you. The injustice of your time in prison tore my mind and heart into tiny little pieces. You were the first exoneree I got to meet in person. You came to New York after your exoneration, tapping your toes and snapping your smile. You had too much energy for your cane, too much curiosity for the years you missed in prison. I was amazed. And immediately loved you. You left but you sent letters-yellow lined paper filled with your beautiful prose. You reminded me to trust that you were doing all right, and so was the world. You came back to New York to meet with other exonerees, and you re-stole our hearts with your dance moves, your laugh. I was happy. and loved you more. You left but you sent e-mails-stories of your family, your heart. you reminded me to keep working hard for the exonerees and the exonerees-to-be. You came to Texas to share your story with more people. Your heart was tired, but your real heart was still dancing. You talked about your life after exoneration, and we cried. Listening to you tell your story again, I loved you so much. I knew the story of your life after exoneration. The injustice of your death tears my mind and heart into tiny little pieces. But I took out all those letters and e-mails you sent me yesterday, and you reminded me that it is possible to know the sun even when you feel the rain. Eddie, you are the sunshine of my work. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. I was so lucky to know you, even as I feel your death. I love you. -Sarah Tofte, Innocence Project policy analyst Well, at first I thought he was a bit crazy, we all did. After all, he gave a false confession in a mental institution believing it was a deal with the police to smoke out the real perpetrator, who would be caught napping -his words. His letters from prison took up every line on the page horizontally and then meandered around all sides of the page, as though he would, if space and time permitted, continue to write and talk in an ascending, discursive never ending spiral. And the letters were funny, full of righteous indignation, and an indomitable spirit. We were told that when Eddie was brought to the phone for an attorney call he was forced to wear a spit mask, and was shackled like Hannibal Lechter. So when I met finally met the legendary Eddie Joe Lloyd in the flesh, at the county jail in Detroit, a few days before his release, he exceeded expectation. He was torrent of talk, energy and wit that belied his frail body. A New York Times reporter who accompanied me to the jail, was, to say the least, flummoxed by Eddie, especially after he used a word none of us knew, and had to check in a dictionary (Eddie was right, of course). Yet I was still nervous the day of his scheduled court appearance and release about how he would react. Although the Wayne County prosecutor was joining with us and our cocounsel Saul Green Uustifiably considered on of the best and most honorable lawyers in Detroit, if not America) in a motion to vacate and dismiss Eddie's case on the grounds of innocence, everyone was nervous that Judge Townsend might deny the joint motion. After all, at the time of sentence, Townsend had proclaimed that Eddie should have been "terminated with extreme constriction" (meaning he should be hung) and called for the reinstatement of capital punishment in Michigan. Eddie was magnificent at the proceeding because he stayed calm. Judge Townsend, quite outrageously, insisted that the wrongful conviction was all Eddie's fault, and that Eddie had never asserted his innocence. This is plainly wrong; indeed, Eddie's proclamation of innocence at sentencing, and his compassion for the victim's family who wrongly hated him, is among the most moving I've ever read. But Eddie said nothing, which in Eddie's case was quite surprising. I didn't know what he would do at his post-release press conference, in front of the national media, and standing side by side with prosecutors. When the time finally came for Eddie to speak, he leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Don't worry Mr. Scheck, this is my fifteen minutes of fame and I'm not gonna blow it." He then calmly stepped to the microphone and said, "DNA is God's signature. He writes no forgeries and His checks don't bounce." That remark brought down the house and became the quote of the week in the New York Times. But Eddie was only getting warmed up. From that day until his big, courageous heart gave out Eddie was brilliant, irrepressible, inspirational. Yes, I know he suffered a great deal after he got out, physically and psychologically. But for us, and I speak here for Peter Neufeld and everyone else connected to our organization, the late great Eddie Joe Lloyd always made us laugh, always made us feel terrific about ourselves and the work we do. We miss him terribly, but remain grateful he got his vindication. No one deserved it more. -Barry Scheck & Peter Neufeld, Co-Directors of the Innocence Project There is not a person that met Eddie, as he crusaded for justice, who doesn't smile and glow when his name is mentioned. All of us at the Innocence Project, and in our larger community, are better for having known him. He was a prince. -Maddy delone, Executive Director of the Innocence Project I first saw Eddie Joe while I was in prison and he was on television. Then, last year, I had the pleasure of meeting him in NYC as a fellow exoneree; letting him know that his freedom had given me the hope and the strength to keep fighting for my own. Eddie Joe was an inspiration to me, and he will be missed. -Scott Hornoff, exonerated in 2002 after wrongful imprisonment in Rhode Island "Into each life tears must fall." -EJL at sentencing For five years before I met him, I knew Eddie through his letters. They bore his unmistakable handwriting, his flair for words, and they communicated as only Eddie communicated. With careful emphasis on certain words and phrases, Eddie sent forth part of the irrepressible spirit that refused to lose hope, housed his righteous anger, and fed the zeal of those who worked on his case. Each letter contained life that could not be contained as the body can be contained. Eddie life was marked by injustice. His death, too, is marked by injustice. Injustice that he overcame, keeping his faith, strength, and even humor in a place designed to break spirits. When I ask what life gave Eddie Lloyd, there is only one answer, not enough. Two years of freedom was not enough. Though we burn with the injustice of it, we cannot say that he did not live those two years. We cannot say that he did not find a way to touch every soul he encountered. As he considered himself blessed, so we should consider our blessings for having known and loved such a warrior, scholar, philosopher, and friend. -Huy Dao, Innocence Project Case Director I didn't know Eddie very well-I only met him a few times. But it didn't take long to realize what an extraordinary person Eddie was. I remember the first time I met him was when he spoke to the Innocence Project students in the fall of 2002, not long after he had been exonerated. Listening to Eddie, it occurred to me that he didn't speak in prose like the rest of us mere mortals do. Eddie spoke in poetry, weaving together phrases with the wisdom of Shakespeare, the syncopation of Ginsburg, the whimsy of Cummings. Eddie's rhymes rivaled Dr. Suess. He sampled like an 80s rapper. His two main themes-combating injustice and pursuing women-were as old as Aeschylus and as timely as a modern slam. I am humbled that Eddie found this world -a world that was so cruel to him-to be worthy of his wisdom and his rhymes. And I feel blessed that I had the opportunity to hear them. -David Menschel, former Innocence Project attorney I first met Eddie Joe in August 2002, days after he was released from prison. Unbelievably, Eddie Joe's effervescent, buoyant spirit was unsullied by his ordeal. Eddie Joe emerged from the depths with his sense of humor undiminished and his heart untarnished. He was a true inspiration to me. -Ian Dumain, former Innocence Project student Eddie's spirit and love touched each of us from the minute he walked into our offices. His presence brought joy to us all and regularly reminded us why we do this work. I feel blessed to have known him as a free man and to have shared so many laughs and hugs with him in such a short time. -Aliza Kaplan, former Innocence Project attorney My dear friend Eddie. Your thoughtfulness had a way of making days a little brighter, hearts a little happier, and problems seem a whole lot smaller. You mactfi difference in this world. It can never be said enough how appreciated you were and always will be. You will never be forgotten. -Clark McMillan, exonerated in 2002 in Tennessee I love you Eddie. I adore you and cherish every minute of the time we shared. I just can't imagine life without you. -Vanessa Potkin, Innocence Project Staff Attorney Dedicated to the memory of our brother Eddie Joe Lloyd and the Lloyd/Moore Family

Trauma

A Genealogy

By: Ruth Leys

Psychic trauma is one of the most frequently invoked ideas in the behavioral sciences and the humanities today. Yet bitter disputes have marked the discussion of trauma ever since it first became an issue in the 1870s, growing even more heated in recent years following official recognition of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In a book that is bound to ignite controversy, Ruth Leys investigates the history of the concept of trauma. She explores the emergence of multiple personality disorder, Freud's approaches to trauma, medical responses to shellshock and combat fatigue, Sándor Ferenczi's revisions of psychoanalysis, and the mutually reinforcing, often problematic work of certain contemporary neurobiological and postmodernist theorists. Leys argues that the concept of trauma has always been fundamentally unstable, oscillating uncontrollably between two competing models, each of which tends at its limit to collapse into the other. A powerfully argued work of intellectual history, Trauma will rewrite the terms of future discussion of its subject.

The Link Between Childhood Trauma and Mental Illness

Effective Interventions for Mental Health Professionals

By: Barbara Everett,Ruth Gallop

Each day, case managers, psychiatric nurses, and other mental health professionals interact with adults who have a history of physical and/or sexual abuse during childhood. Many of these important professionals will often be the first practitioners to hear about a client′s background of abuse, but they may not have specialized training in understanding and working with survivors of childhood trauma. The Link Between Childhood Trauma and Mental Illness gives mental health professionals who are not child abuse specialists knowledge and skills that are especially relevant to their direct service role and practice context. It introduces to these practitioners a conceptual bridge between biomedical and psychosocial understandings of mental disorder, providing a multidimensional approach that allows professionals to think holistically and connect clients′ abusive pasts with their present-day symptoms and behaviors. Building upon this conceptual foundation, the book then focuses on direct practice issues, including how to ask clients about child abuse, the nature of power in the helping relationship, the full recovery process, effective treatment models, client safety issues, and ways to listen to client′s stories. Also included are valuable insights into helping clients who are in a crisis situation, the particular needs of male victims of child abuse, racial and cultural considerations, and the professional′s self-care. Designed to meet the needs of such helping professionals as case managers, psychiatric nurses, rehabilitation counselors, crisis and housing workers, occupational and physical therapists, family physicians, and social workers, The Link Between Childhood Trauma and Mental Illness is an accessible and convenient guide to understanding the effects of childhood abuse and incorporating that understanding into direct practice.

Stories and Social Media

Identities and Interaction

By: Ruth E. Page

This book examines everyday stories of personal experience that are published online in contemporary forms of social media. Taking examples from discussion boards, blogs, social network sites, microblogging sites, wikis, collaborative and participatory storytelling projects, Ruth Page explores how new and existing narrative genres are being (re)shaped in different online contexts. The book shows how the characteristics of social media, which emphasize recency, interpersonal connection and mobile distribution, amplify or reverse different aspects of canonical storytelling. The new storytelling patterns which emerge provide a fresh perspective on some of the key concepts in narrative research: structure, evaluation and the location of speaker and audience in time and space. The online stories are profoundly social in nature, and perform important identity work for their tellers as they interact with their audiences - identities which range from celebrities in Twitter, cancer survivors in the blogosphere to creative writers convening storytelling projects or local histories. Stories and Social Media brings together the stories told in well-known sites like Facebook and lesser-known community archives, providing a landmark survey and critique of personal storytelling as it is being reworked online at the start of the 21st century.

Fairy Tales

A New History

By: Ruth B. Bottigheimer

2009 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Where did Cinderella come from? Puss in Boots? Rapunzel? The origins of fairy tales are looked at in a new way in these highly engaging pages. Conventional wisdom holds that fairy tales originated in the oral traditions of peasants and were recorded for posterity by the Brothers Grimm during the nineteenth century. Ruth B. Bottigheimer overturns this view in a lively account of the origins of these well-loved stories. Charles Perrault created Cinderella and her fairy godmother, but no countrywoman whispered this tale into Perrault's ear. Instead, his Cinderella appeared only after he had edited it from the book of often amoral tales published by Giambattista Basile in Naples. Distinguishing fairy tales from folktales and showing the influence of the medieval romance on them, Bottigheimer documents how fairy tales originated as urban writing for urban readers and listeners. Working backward from the Grimms to the earliest known sixteenth-century fairy tales of the Italian Renaissance, Bottigheimer argues for a book-based history of fairy tales. The first new approach to fairy tale history in decades, this book answers questions about where fairy tales came from and how they spread, illuminating a narrative process long veiled by surmise and assumption.

Saints, Cure-seekers and Miraculous Healing in Twelfth-century England

By: Ruth J. Salter

The cults of the saints were central to the medieval Church. These holy men and women acted as patrons and protectors to the religious communities who housed their relics and to the devotees who requested their assistance in petitioning God for a miracle. Among the collections of posthumous miracle stories, miracula, accounts of holy healing feature prominently and depict cure-seekers successfully securing their desired remedy for a range of ailments and afflictions. What can these miracle accounts tell us of the cure-seekers' experiences of their journey from ill health to recovery, and how was healthcare presented in these sources? This book undertakes an in-depth study of the miraculous cure-seeking process through the lens of Latin miracle accounts produced in twelfth-century England, a time both when saints' cults particularly flourished and there was an increasing transmission and dissemination of classical and Arabic medical works. Focused on shorter miracula with a predominantly localised focus, and thus on a select group of cure-seekers, it brings together studies of healthcare and pilgrimage to look at an alternative to medical intervention and the practicalities and processes of securing saintly assistance.

An Elderberry Fall

By: Ruth P. Watson

This sequel to the historical bestseller Blackberry Days of Summer reunites the people of Jefferson County, Virginia, with yet another murder and the resurrection of an evil thought to be dead and gone. As she adjusts to a new beginning in Richmond, Virginia, Carrie Parker finds herself juggling motherhood, work, school, and increasing strains on her new marriage to Simon. Carrie and Simon are happy parents, but sometimes Carrie feels there’s something dark and evil about her little baby’s eyes, and it scares her. She vows he will not be anything like his real father—a beady-eyed womanizer now long gone. But the past has a strange way of creeping back into the present… Just as the dust is settling on the murder of Carrie’s stepfather, Herman Camm, everybody in Richmond is shocked to find out his memory is not yet gone. Did he really die? And what part did Carrie play? Soon she is forced to answer questions and return to a past ridden with abuse, corruption, scandal, and deceit. Will she be able to move on with her life, or will the past follow Carrie and her family wherever they go?

Living on the Edge of the Edge

Letters to a Younger Colleague

By: Ruth Elizabeth Krall,Lisa Schirch, PhD

There are several divisive issues that separate Christian from Christian in the current century. One issue is the church’s management of clergy sexual abuses of children, teens and adults. A second is the issue of sexual gender orientation and church membership. Contemporary Christian denominations often intermingle the divisive issue of clergy and religious leader sexual abusiveness with the equally divisive issue of sexual gender orientation. In this book Professors Krall and Schirch disentangle and discuss these two issues. They discuss their personal and their professional opinions about ways in which religious and spiritual teaching communities can avoid the institutional perils of abusive clericalism and divisive denominational management practices. Throughout the book, they apply Anabaptist-Mennonite principles of peace-making in situations of sexual violation. Case studies are provided. A feminist hermeneutic is applied. Each letter-essay is auto-ethnographic in style: the professional and the personal are deliberately blurred inside a framework of narrative and story. Each essay is deeply rooted in its author’s academic interests and in her personal life history. This book can be a text in graduate and undergraduate classrooms. It can also be used in denominational self-study programs.

By: Molly Noble Bull,Jane Myers Perrine,Ruth Scofield,Margaret Daley,Ginny Aiken

Did you ever try to push a one hundredpound rock up a hill with nothing but a toothpick? If you can imagine what that might be like, you have some idea how difficult it is for a child with a learning problem to read or spell ten simple words. It takes a huge amount of energy to push a heavy rock up a hill. It takes an equal amount of mental strength for a child with dyslexia to read and spell, and at the end of either of these strenuous activities, both the rock pusher and the child are exhausted. Five published Christian authors with learning disabilities wrote this book from their own experiences. It is their hope that others will be encouraged from reading how they overcame. An inspiring account of five amazing women authors who demonstrated how creativity and perceptual talents go hand-in-hand with dyslexia and ADD. Ronald D. Davis, author of The Gift of Dyslexia: Why Some of the Smartest People Can't Read and How They Can Learn and The Gift of Learning: Proven New Methods for Correcting ADD, Math & Handwriting Problems. The Overcomers is a must-read for anyone with a learning disability or knows someone who suffers from that problem. These five amazing authors have opened their hearts and shared their stories in a way that puts feet to their faith and calls their readers to do the same. Dont miss this excellent read!

Making Stories, Making Selves

Feminist Reflections on the Holocaust

By: Robin Ruth Linden

Ruth Linden's bold, experimental book explores the interconnected processes of remembering, storytelling, and self-fashioning. Juxtaposing autobiography and ethnography, Linden begins this study by situating herself in the context of her assimilated Jewish family, where the Holocaust was shrouded in silences. Urged forward by these silences, Linden, a feminist and sociologist, began to interview Jewish Holocaust survivors in 1983. As Linden interprets survivors' accounts of the death camps and the resistance, she reveals complex ways in which selves are constructed through storytelling. The stories that unfold are continuously fashioned and refashioned - never stripped of context or frozen in time. What emerges is an unexpectedly elegant montage in which interviewee, interviewer, and author are intertwined. Linden's meetings with survivors and her encounters with their stories transformed her as a feminist, a Jew, and a social scientist. Her analysis reveals the intimate connections between an ethnographer's lived experience and her interpretations of others'. Linden's reflections on the process of ethnography belie the rhetoric of positivism in the social sciences. They will inspire other scholars to break free of research and writing practices in their own disciplines that efface the ineluctable bond between knower and known. All readers will be challenged to reexamine the Holocaust in an intensely personal light and to reconsider the meanings of survival in our own time. Cutting across the boundaries of ethnography and autobiography to create a new kind of text, Making Stories, Making Selves offers a significant contribution to interpretive social science and the literature of theHolocaust. Linden's original and courageous work is vital reading for Holocaust scholars, students of modern Jewish life sociologists feminist theorists, and all readers seeking to understand their own relationship to the Holocaust.

From Grace to Glory. . .

A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

By: Naomi Ruth Jones Kilpatrick

This book chronicles a life long journey of stunning and tragic events. It took some five plus years of a "backward glance" to describe that journey. It begins within the doors of a small, seemingly insignificant church on the south side of Chicago where "ordinary people" did extraordinary things; a little assembly of believers gathered together in the Lord's name. The church had been founded by an icon, a giant in the Christian community named B. M. Nottage, who started, along with his brothers, several assemblies in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and other cities. This book, "From Grace to Glory", gives a vivid picture of the marvelous grace of God and his unbounded, unlimited mercy through great tragedy and devastating losses. Read the shocking "unpleasant history" of this little church, and its' resilience through it all. Laugh out loud in "A Little Bit About A Lot of Things", as you look at Bob Hope's jokes and Mae West's one-liners. Read the jaw-dropping "You in six words" from Oprah Winfrey. Go back to another era of great books, outstanding movies, and awe-inspiring music. Share in the great pride of cultural icons who contributed so much to our country and ultimately to the whole world. Don't miss the chapter on the "Onslaught of Nines", where you will discover unknown facts, or surprising facts, or maybe "not-new facts", or just affirmation for the people, places, and things. You will wonder what is the "Fine As Wine In the Summertime" chapter all about? And then, this book gives a vivid picture of the great love and the deep ties of family; a family with an ancestor who could not read or write, but amassed a fortune in land and property. Love of family runs through this family whether you are rich and famous, or poor and needy, or somewhere in between. All families can affirm this, but this book tells it in a different way, in a different format. By reading "From Grace to Glory ... A little Bit About A Lot of Things", we are reminded of what is important in life. We are encouraged by the dear ones who have gone on before us. We can build on that strong love, that strong foundation that has been left, and we can trust our God to take us from His grace to His glory as we continue on life's journey.
