The rise of Pentecostalism is one of the most important changes in
Christianity in the past century. Growing rapidly, it has expanded
throughout the world. How many Pentecostals are there in the world?
How did Pentecostalism grow so fast? What do Pentecostals believe?
What role did revivals play like the Azusa Street Revival in the
USA or the Mukti Mission Revival in India? What do Pentecostals
experience when they speak in tongues, pray for healing, and seek
prosperity? Brill's Encyclopedia of Global Pentecostalism answers
such questions, drawing upon disciplines such as anthropology,
biblical studies, economics, gender studies, history, theology, and
other areas of related interest.
Order up...a delicious new dating attitude Whether you're convinced
all the good guys are taken, sick of kissing frogs, or simply
feeling cursed by Cupid, Tristan and Todd, irrepressible best
friends and dating aficionados, will teach you how to rock a
stellar new outlook on hooking up, dating and finding your "main
course," while filling your calendar (and plate) with loads of
tantalizing men.Menu Dating includes innovative new strategies for:
*Cleansing your palette by throwing out your stale dating
philosophies and flirting phobias
*Adopting the laidback, positive attitude of someone who knows
"there's no such thing as a bad date"-- just a veritable tapas bar
of flavorful experiences and lessons.
*Collecting and taste testing tons of different man candidates
(mandidates )...even the ones you thought you'd never date
*Sexcapading, booty calling and practicing the art of the one-night
stand (and yes, every girl should have at least one)
*Avoiding the pitfalls and pratfalls of dating multiple men at the
same timeMenu Dating will show you how dating a rotating roster of
different men "without a fixation on settling down" is actually the
secret to finding the relationship you deserve. You'll discern your
wants from your needs, your nice-to-haves from your
dealbreakers...not to mention, have some seriously delicious fun
along the way to meeting your "main course" man.

Meet five North Carolina women who are about to change the way
you think about friendship. For Rhonda, a gritty, fun-loving
hairdresser in tight jeans, the sights and smells of Ridgecrest
Nursing Center are depressing. But before she can change her mind
about working there, two residents glue themselves to her:
Margaret, droll and whip-smart, with a will of iron that never
fails her even when her body does, and Bernice, an avid country
music fan who is rarely lucid. Together with Lorraine, their
church-going, God-questioning nurse, and her daughter, April,
bright and ambitious, they lock arms in courage and humor for a
journey that speaks to us all--of how we live and die, of how we
love and forgive.
