Intimate Conversations - Christian Sexuality beyond Purity Culture

Susannah Larry

Maison d'édition: Herald Press

Synopsis

The Bible can help us have better conversations about sexFor many of us, formation around sexuality was often marked by a lack of information and honest dialogue. The teaching we did receive was confusing at times, especially since secular and religious ideas about sexuality often seem at odds.These concerns can be especially acute for parents seeking to share healthy, faithful ideas about sexuality with their children. We know that abstinence-only sex education doesn’t stop risky behavior among teens and that purity culture leaves harmful legacies. Messages from outside the church walls seem to offer the simplest and safest way out of the conundrum—yet we also want our faith to sit right with our counsel on many issues, including sex. If we don’t endorse purity culture yet we still believe faith holds a role in sexuality, what might the Bible and Christian theology actually have to say to us today?Though the Bible is often quite vague on the whos, whens, wheres, and whats of sexuality, it does offer a beautiful image of the why: to know and share the love of God. In Intimate Conversations, scholar Susannah Larry considers how the Great Commandment to love God, neighbor, and self shapes our understanding of this part of our lives. As she explores what ideas to pass on to her children, she discovers a whole-bodied vision for Christian sexuality that is empowering, faithful, and life-giving. Rather than a rulebook or an encyclopedia, the Bible tells us a story of God’s desire for justice, reconciliation, and joy for all people. Grounded in Scripture and celebrating the goodness of human sexuality, Intimate Conversations will help adults reclaim the Bible as a resource for telling a joyful and holistic story about sexuality.

Mexico - History of Its Events...

Kelly Mass

In this bundle of audiobooks, you will get the following topics:
1 - It’s a hard name to pronounce, but hey, it’s been the legend of Native American peoples for centuries. Was it a man? Was it a god? Was it a white person? Or was it some animal or strange thing? Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec divine being whose name originates from the Nahuatl language and meaning "valuable snake" or "Quetzal-feathered Snake."
2 - The cult image, female divine being, and folk saint Nuestra Seora de la Santa Muerte (Spanish meaning: Our Woman of the Holy Death) is a cult image, female divine being, and folk saint in Mexican Neopaganism and folk Catholicism.
3 - Topics such as these will be addressed:
The beginnings of the Mayans.
Human sacrifice, temples, sites, and religious principles in the Maya culture.
The Mayan culture and society.
The role of Maya women.
The ancient ruins that can be visited by tourists today.
4 - When you think of the Aztecs, you might think of certain movies you have seen or what you've been taught in history class. And although some of those images and descriptions fit the main narrative, there is still much left to be discovered. This brief book will take you on a journey and kidnap your imagination to a faraway place in time.
5 - Although not really Mexican, this bonus book gives you more insight into ancient American civilizations, in this case, the Inca society. The Inca empire was vast and massive. Yet, still so few people know much about it, aside from what they've heard from vague rumors. But did you know the Inca people showed various similarities to those who came from the Middle East? Did you know that they mummified their dead and built pyramids?

Smoky God The - A Voyage to the...

Willis George Emerson

It may be that the true home of Apollo was not at Delphi, but in that older earth-center of which Plato speaks, where he says: "Apollo's real home is among the Hyperboreans, in a land of perpetual life, where mythology tells us two doves flying from the two opposite ends of the world met in this fair region, the home of Apollo. Indeed, according to Hecataeus, Leto, the mother of Apollo, was born on an island in the Arctic Ocean far beyond the North Wind."
