Marriage is one of the most satisfying and yet one of the most
difficult relationships on earth. God places a great importance on
this relationship and gives very clear principles on how it is to
be lived out in the daily life using the Word of God. In Twelve
Biblical Steps, these Biblical principles will be carefully
analyzed and clearly explained so that every Christian couple can
grasp their significance and begin to carry them out in their
marriages. Some of these Biblical principles that are covered in
this book are as follows: Follow the instructions Building a
spiritual network Becoming friends not just roommates Avoiding the
triple threats Fight to unite not divide This book is not intended
to cover all the challenges that married couples face. It is not an
in-depth analysis of relationship issues. It is not expected to
answer all of the questions that couples may have as they learn to
build a new home and a new family. However, it is a book that seeks
to dig into God's Word and apply His truth to the marriage
relationship. The hope of this author is that the chapters that
follow in this book will enable the husband and the wife to develop
a marriage that is a success and so become examples for a new
generation to follow. Dr. David S. Thompson has pastored churches
in Queens, New York, and in the Cayman Islands, and in upstate New
York. He and his wife, Judith, have been married over 33 years and
have raised five children. He currently is the Professor of Bible
and Missions at Trinity Baptist College.

The essays in volume 23 of Theatre Symposium offer a rich
exploration of depictions of youth in works of theatre as well as
the role youth play in the creation and performance of drama. The
curtain rises on Theatre and Youth, volume 23 of Theatre Symposium
with keynote reflections by Suzan Zeder, the distinguished
playwright of theatre for youth, and presents eleven original
essays about theatre's reflections of youth and the role of young
people in making and performing theatre. The first set of essays
draws from robustly diverse sources: the work of Frank Wedekind in
nineteenth-century Germany, Peter Pan's several stage incarnations,
Evgeny Shvarts's antitotalitarian plays in Soviet Russia, and
Christopher Marlowe's Dido, Queen of Carthage, whose depictions of
childhood comment on both the classical period as well as Marlowe's
own Elizabethan age. The second part of the collection explores and
illustrates how youth participate in theatre, the cognitive
benefits youth reap from theatre practice, and the ameliorating
power of theatre to help at-risk youth. These essays show
fascinating and valuable case studies of, for example, theatre
employed in geography curricula to strengthen spatial thinking,
theatre as an antidote to youth delinquency, and theatre teaching
Latinos in the south strategies for coping in a multilingual world.
Rounding out this exemplary collection are a pair of essays that
survey the state of the art, the significance of theatre-for-youth
programming choices, and the shifting attitudes young Americans are
bringing to the discipline. Eclectic and vital, this expertly
curated collection will be of interest to educators and theatre
professionals alike.
That theatre is a business remains a truth often ignored by theatre
insiders and consumers of the performing arts alike. The essays in
"Theatre Symposium, Volume 22" explore theatre as a commercial
enterprise both historically and as a continuing part of the
creation, production, and presentation of contemporary live
performance.
The eleven contributors to this fascinating collection illuminate
many aspects of commercial theatre and how best to examine it.
George Pate analyzes the high-stakes implication of a melodramatic
legal battle. Christine Woodworth recounts the difficulties
encountered by British actresses near the turn of the twentieth
century, while Boone J. Hopkins considers newly found images of
Margo Jones along with the commercial appeal they represent.
The volume continues with articles that follow developments with
ties to commercial theatre, such as the interplay between Broadway
companies and regional theatres, musical productions in communist
Poland, and the influence of Korean popular culture on theatre and
the unique production arrangements that have resulted. Other essays
investigate alternative concepts related to commercial themes with
regard to audience interaction and the burgeoning world of geek
theatre.
Edited by David S. Thompson, this latest publication by the largest
regional theatre organization in the United States collects the
most current scholarship on theatre history and theory.
