Aiming to explore theoretical advances in tourism studies, this
book explores the triadic relationship between tourism, sustainable
development and empowerment. While tourism has begun to focus on
community consultations, the process has tended to follow the path
of development for communities rather than development by
communities. In many cases the result has been disempowerment
rather than empowerment. This study goes beyond a focus on the
impacts of tourism to explore the relevance of a body of political,
economic, sociological, anthropological and development theory to
formulate a synthesized construct of empowerment which provides a
useful standpoint to consider the community/tourism development
relationship. The approach that has been adopted also attempts to
combine the emic paradigm with the etic, that is one which relies
upon an actor-oriented "inside" view of the meaning of the
behaviour under study as well as upon externally constructed models
by "outsider" researchers to describe the social situation The
theoretical framework of empowerment which is proposed for
community based tourism development is explored across three levels

What If The Cross Changed Everything? Looks at The Book of
Revelation from a radically different perspective--its original
audience. Those people who lived in the first century under Roman
rule, with strong ties to Jewish tradition. It is from this ancient
perspective that Revelation becomes a source of joy and
empowerment. John's first readers knew the identity of The Beast,
and the meaning of 666. It's time the 21st Century Church knew too.
What if the Cross Changed Everything?, offers compelling evidence
that what John witnessed was not the end of human existence, but
the glorious beginning of humanity's freedom from the bondage of
the tyrannical dictates of the law of sin and death. Anyone who
does not experience joy or feel empowered by their current
understanding of Revelation will want to read this book. Fear,
confusion and speculation will be dispelled.
