Sinopse

Jean Webster's 'Daddy-Long-Legs' is a charming epistolary novel that tells the story of Jerusha Abbott, a young orphan girl who receives a scholarship to college from an anonymous benefactor known only as Daddy-Long-Legs. Through her letters to her mysterious sponsor, Jerusha shares her hopes, dreams, and adventures as she navigates the challenges of higher education and self-discovery. Written in a light and engaging style, the book offers a glimpse into turn-of-the-century American society and the evolving role of women during that time. Webster skillfully weaves humor, romance, and social commentary into a heartwarming coming-of-age tale that continues to resonate with readers today. Jean Webster, a pioneering female author and social activist, drew inspiration from her own experiences as a college student and her passion for women's rights to pen 'Daddy-Long-Legs.' Her progressive views on education and feminism are reflected in the character of Jerusha, who defies societal expectations and pursues her own path to success. Webster's legacy as a writer who challenged conventions and championed women's empowerment shines through in this timeless classic. I highly recommend 'Daddy-Long-Legs' to readers looking for an enchanting and thought-provoking story that celebrates the spirit of independence and resilience. Jean Webster's delightful novel offers a captivating blend of humor, romance, and social commentary that will leave a lasting impression on those who embark on Jerusha Abbott's journey of self-discovery.

    Politics & Mission -...

    Contrary to popular sentiment, Christianity is not dull or out of touch but fresh, relevant, exciting, and contemporary. The Church is political because it tells a radically different story from the dominant political norms of our day. Through a study of the Church’s liturgy, this book seeks to build confidence in the Church’s mission.
    
     
    Politics & Mission examines five pieces of liturgy—namely morning prayer, baptism, eucharist, footwashing and the funeral—detailing in turn the ways in which the language of the liturgy, which we often take for granted, is powerful and counter-cultural. Through its analysis, the book sheds light on three principal areas: what it is to be human, the challenges of contemporary mission, and the particular way in which the Church is political.
    
     
    In so doing, new resources are offered for the practicing Christian, those in Church leadership, and those looking at the Church from the outside, to reflect on and grapple with the challenges of this generation.
