Ernest D. Martin takes Bible students into the rich text of the
letter to the church at Colossae and the highly personal letter to
Philemon. Martin draws on his experience as pastor, teacher, and
writer to engage the reader in the complexities of the text. All
the while, he focuses on a Christ-centered biblical theology and
the amazingly revelant pastoral concerns that shaped these letters.
In commenting on Colossians, Martin highlights a wholistic
Christology in contrast to the past and present perversions of the
gospel. In the section on Philemon, he draws attention to the
social implications of the koinonia of faith for the servants of
Jesus Christ. 344 Pages.

Dan Brown is guilty of many things: Loving his wife and baby, being
a workaholic, and staying up too late. But he's definitely not
guilty of murder or is he? When Dan goes to a convenience store, he
finds that the place has been robbed and sees blood on the floor.
Soon, he's surrounded by police and accused of killing the store
clerk. At Dan's trial, no one can dispute that his car was at the
crime scene and that the murder weapon was found underneath his
seat. It takes a jury just twenty-three minutes of deliberating to
find him guilty. A judge sentences him to die by lethal injection.
Now, Dan must do everything he can just to stay alive as he endures
the taunts and torture that go along with prison. And he must deal
with the realization that even his wife, Lisa, is unsure about his
innocence. After all his appeals are rejected, the clock begins to
tick until midnight, when Dan will be executed. Unless he can
convince the authorities that he's innocent, he'll find himself
Down @ 12.

strategies to mitigate many of the challenges they face, including
challenges related to migrating to new destinations. The book is
designed to enrich dialogue around the multilevel determinants of
Latinx health and concludes with a call to action for increased
culturally congruent, theoretically informed and participatory
Latinx health research. The book also encourages the mentorship and
growth of early career and junior investigators to conduct research
on Latinx health issues.A selection of the perspectives included
among the chapters: Chronic disease and mental health issues in
Latinx populations Substance use among Latinx adolescents in the
United States Physical and intellectual and developmental
disabilities in Latinx populations Health insurance reform and the
Latinx population Immigration enforcement policies and Latinx
health Research priorities for Latinx sexual and gender minorities
Racial and ethnic discrimination, intersectionality, acculturation,
and Latinx health New and Emerging Issues in Latinx Health is an
invaluable compendium that provides a foundation of understanding
Latinx health and well-being and guides future research and
practice. The book is essential for researchers, practitioners, and
students in the fields of public health and the social sciences
including community and health psychology, health administration
and policy, community health education, medical anthropology,
medical sociology, population health, and preventive medicine.

This book critically explores pedagogical activities, policies, and
coursework that teacher education programs can provide to more
fully prepare teacher candidates and in-service educators for
professional practice in urban schools. It illustrates how teacher
educators from across the United States are supporting teacher
candidates and in-service teachers to possess the knowledge,
skills, and dispositions for equity-oriented instructional
practices and advocacy for professional engagement in the urban
context. Chapters share insider perspectives of urban teacher
education on preparing teachers to teach in culturally,
linguistically, and socio-economically diverse classrooms. They
discuss teacher educators' learning about their own practice in the
preparation of teachers for city schools, preparing teacher
candidates from rural and suburban contexts to teach in urban
settings, and supervising practicing teachers in city classrooms.
The volume also focuses on the interplay of cultural and linguistic
parity between teacher educators and their preservice/in-service
teacher students, implementing learning activities or coursework
about teaching in urban schools, and enacting critical pedagogical
practices. This book will be beneficial to teacher educators
focused on teacher preparation for city classrooms and urban school
districts, and researchers seeking to adopt self-study methodology
in their own research endeavors.

Theology Today In one series, the original writings of the
universally acknowledged teachers of the Catholic, Protestant,
Eastern Orthodox, Jewish and Islamic traditions have been
critically selected, translated and introduced by internationally
recognized scholars and spiritual leaders. Carthusian Spirituality:
The Writings of Hugh of Balma and Guigo de Ponte translated and
introduced by Dennis D. Martin preface by John Van Engen "The third
step is the human spirit's yearning, unitive clinging in which she
gently burns for God, knowing experientially that one who clings to
God in this way is one spirit with him...With love growing from her
own fervor she opens herself to receive and in receiving is set on
fire. Then with great longing she gazes wide-mouthed at celestial
things and in some wondrous way tastes what she seeks to have. This
tasting, moreover, is the clinging, the union, through which the
pious spirit enjoys god, in whom she blissfully reposes." Guigo de
Ponte, On Contemplation, Book Two, Chapter Ten In the fourteenth,
fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries, the Carthusians filled the role
played in the tenth and eleventh centuries by the Cluniac network,
in the twelfth century by the Cistercians, and in the thirteenth
century by the Franciscans and Dominicans: Western Christendom's
most outstanding professional intercessors before God's throne.
Founded in the late eleventh century, a few years before the
Cistercians, the Carthusians grew very slowly during their first
two centuries but were highly respected from the beginning. They
inspired, among others, Bernard of Clairvaux, William of St.
Thierry, Aelred of Rievaulx, and Peter the Venerable. The two
authors whose writings make up this volume are situated at the end
of the thirteenth century, just before the order's flourishing
growth of the fourteenth century. The mysterious author known as
"Hugh of Balma" may have influenced the fourteenth-century Cloud of
Unknowing and certainly had a great impact on Catholic spirituality
in the sixteenth and following centuries, especially, but not
exclusively, in Spain. Guigo de Ponte's writings, by indirect
route, influenced Ignatius of Loyola.
Explores the culturally complex and cosmopolitan histories of
islands off the African coast Islands and island chains like Cabo
Verde, Madagascar, and Bioko are often sidelined in contemporary
understandings of Africa in which mainland nation-states take
center stage in the crafting of historical narratives. Yet in the
modern period, these small offshore spaces have often played
important if inconsistent roles in facilitating intra- and
intercontinental exchanges that have had lasting effects on the
cultural, economic, and political landscape of Africa. In African
Islands: Leading Edges of Empire and Globalism, contributors argue
for the importance of Africa's islands in integrating the continent
into wider networks of trade and migration that links it with Asia,
Europe, and the Americas. Essays consider the cosmopolitan and
culturally complex identities of Africa's islands, analyzing the
process and extent to which trade, slavery, and migration bonded
African elements with Asian, Arabic, and European characteristics
over the years. While the continental and island nations have
experienced similar cycles of invasion, boom, and bust, essayists
note both similarities and striking differences in how these events
precipitated economic changes in the different geographic areas.
This book, a much-needed broadly comparative study of the African
islands, will be an important resource for students and scholars of
the region and of topics such as colonialism, economic history, and
cultural hybridity.
