  The Adventures in Biblical Thinking Think about Series is an invitation to think. Each Volume is focuses on separate topics. In Volume One the topics are: Life, Faith, Abiding and the Attributes of God. The adventures are designed to stimulate thinking, to generate wonder, to increase understanding and to inspire. Each adventure includes a set of exercises that can be used to reflect on the content in the adventure or could be used for discussion starters if the adventures are being used in a small group Bible study. When reading in print it is easy to stop and think about something you have just read or even to go back and read it again. This can be a challenge in an audio book. I suggest that you might want to stop the recording and think about some parts of the adventure or even backup and hear them again. You may want to listen to an adventure more than once. They are short. Print versions of the adventures can be found at this website: https://adventuresinbiblicalthinking.home.blog/ Thinking involves pondering, reflecting, analyzing, exploring, examining, meditating and maybe more. In the Word of God, we are told what to do, who to be and what to think about. Think about this verse: Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things (Philippians 4:8). Unless otherwise indicate the verses quoted are from the New International Version translation.

  Live from Dar es Salaam -...

  A study of Dar es Salaam’s music business, from production and broadcasting to live performances in clubs. 
   
  When socialism collapsed in Tanzania, the government-controlled music industry gave way to a vibrant independent music scene. Alex Perullo explores the world of the bands, music distributors, managers, and clubs that attest to the lively and creative music industry in Dar es Salaam. Perullo examines the formation of the city’s music economy, considering the means of musical production, distribution, protection, broadcasting, and performance. He exposes both legal and illegal strategies for creating business opportunities employed by entrepreneurs who battle government restrictions and give flight to their musical aspirations. This is a singular look at the complex music landscape in one of Africa’s most dynamic cities. 
   
  “This isn’t just a book about Tanzanian popular music. It’s a compendium of everything one could wish to know and more about Dar es Salaam’s performance life, and an ethnographic tour de force that offers an insider’s trip to the sweaty heart of an African capital’s music scene, without having to go there. The social economy of post-independence Dar es Salaam is painstakingly interwoven into an account of every style, trend, and movement in the city’s imaginative life from every angle. Perullo’s achievement will set the standard for studies of popular culture in urban East Africa for decades to come.” —David B. Coplan, University of the Witwatersrand 
   
  “The extensive research for this book provides valuable insight into Tanzanian culture. Live from Dar es Salaam discusses our history and examines current radio stations, performances, recording studios, and music education. In reading this book, young people will learn about what their elders did in the past, and elders will remember those things they took part in. In addition, this book will become a road map for the next generation to use in order to learn about Tanzanian popular music. It is a very important book that illustrates the past, present, and future of Tanzanian music.” —Remmy Ongala
