Like a true crime podcast crossed with a long-lost diary, Where the
Body Was is unlike anything Brubaker and Phillips have ever done,
and a must-have for all their avid fans! A boarding house full of
druggies. A neglected housewife. A young girl who thinks she’s a
superhero. A cop who wants to be left alone. And a Private
Detective looking for a runaway girl. These stories collide one
fateful summer in Where the Body Was, a tale of love and murder in
the suburbs, told from a dozen different points of view. All the
neighbors on the block have an opinion about the murder and how it
happened, but which of them is telling the truth? Starting with a
map of the crime scene, this murder mystery follows the ripples of
this killing as they echo through decades of love and loss and
passion and violence. Where the Body Was is a tour-de-force readers
will be obsessed with from grandmasters Ed Brubaker and Sean
Phillips—the bestselling multiple Eisner award winning creators
of Pulp, Reckless, and Criminal.
Intrepid Bible Messengers moved thousands of Bibles and
Christian books into communist lands during the Cold War Years.The
danger? Chilling. Border guards with a finger on the trigger of the
AK-74 automatic killing machine. Snarling guard dogs threatened as
the Messengers waited for hours to cross with their hidden load of
those "hated" Bibles. Clariss captures all the drama in these
revealing, sometimes shocking interviews never before
published.
Clariss Brubaker Smith shared the humor and tears of these
brave, modern day Bible transporters. Valiant believers had their
own startling comments:
Even if I go to prison or die, don't stop bringing Bibles. The
border guard fingered his gun and my friend began to shake. God
sent someone to warn them. It might have been an angel. What? Sleep
in this mud house with five adults, two children, six geese, two
scruffy dogs and 20 hens?
These gripping, real-life stories show the courage and heroism
of western Bible Messengers and the faith of the believers in the
USSR and Eastern Europe during the Cold War.
Congregations cannot exist without finances, priorities,
leadership, worship, and decision making, yet these five aspects
breed the most conflict between church members and clergy. These
conflicts unfortunately tend to bring about the most negative
consequences: drops in giving, resignation of leaders, and, perhaps
most pointedly, loss of members. The importance of congregations
and their effect on our lives is clear, yet what is less clear is
what makes conflicts in faith communities inevitable. In Promise
and Peril: Understanding and Managing Change and Conflict in
Congregations, David Brubaker brings the tools of organizational
theory and research to the task of understanding the deeper
dynamics of congregational conflict. With a doctorate in sociology
and more than twenty years working with congregational conflicts,
Brubaker helps to explore the causes and effects of conflicts on a
wide range of congregations. This book will help congregations
avoid the pitfalls of conflict and instead head toward a healthy
relationship between and among church staff and members.
This volume, on the cult of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary) in
Byzantium, focuses on textual and historical aspects of the
subject, thus complementing previous work which has centred more on
the cult of images of the Mother of God. The papers presented here,
by an international team of scholars, consider the development and
transformation of the cult from approximately the fourth through
the twelfth centuries. The volume opens with discussion of the
origins of the cult, and its Near Eastern manifestations, including
the archaeological site of the Kathisma church in Palestine, which
represents the earliest Marian shrine in the Holy Land, and Syriac
poetic treatment of the Virgin. The principal focus, however, is on
the 8th and 9th centuries in Byzantium, as a critical period when
Christian attitudes toward the Virgin and her veneration were
transformed. The book re-examines the relationship between icons,
relics and the Virgin, asking whether increasing devotion to these
holy objects or figures was related in any way. Some contributions
consider the location of relics and later, icons, in Constantinople
and other centres of Marian devotion; others explore gender issues,
such as the significance of the Virgin's feminine qualities, and
whether women and men identified with her equally as a holy figure.
The aim of this volume is to build on recent work on the cult of
the Virgin Mary in Byzantium and to explore areas that have not yet
been studied. The rationale is critical and historical, using
literary, artistic, and archaeological sources to evaluate her role
in the development of the Byzantine understanding of the ways in
which God interacts with creation by means of icons, relics, and
the Theotokos.
Estuaries exist along the edge of the oceans and seas, and are char
acterized by the dilution of sea water by inflowing fresher waters.
The motion and interaction of these two types of water (fresh and
salt water) determine the salinity distribution within the estuary
and that, in turn, affects the organisms residing there. The
purpose of this vol ume is to review the status of our
understanding of estuarine circu lation and how the circulation
patterns affect living and nonliving resources in estuaries. For
many years, the primary paradigm for estuarine circulation was the
two-layered net or nontidal gravitational circulation pattern first
proposed by Dr. Donald Pritchard in his studies of the James River
estuary. During the last decade or so, research has focused on the
many variations about this theme and the factors that control the
transport processes. Many of these aspects are covered in the
initial papers in this volume. Water movement, of course, is of
interest be cause it transports marine organisms, sediments, and
pollutants. Es tuarine circulation has a significant effect on
estuarine food chains, and on the distribution and abundance of
organisms, such as the American oyster, that are freely transported
by the currents during larval stages. The intent is to bring
together many of these topics in a single volume. This volume is
dedicated to Dr. Donald W."
