  • Devotional Thoughts for Your Global 6K » a 6-Week Training Companion
    Luke, age 8, USA Kamama, age 5, Kenya Devotional thoughts for your Global 6K » a 6-week training companion Cheru, age 5, Kenya Week One » Day 1 Starting anything new can be daunting: breaking in those fresh-outta-the-box sneakers, changing up your schedule to fit training in, and planning meals to fuel your workouts. Congratulations! You’ve started a training journey with a community of like-minded Christ-followers around the world, aimed at one thing—bringing clean water to people who don’t have it. There’s a significant beginning recorded in the Bible. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth … and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters” (Genesis 1:1-2). Meditate today on this passage and how water was an important part of the Creation story. And think about how the Spirit of God will empower your training— beginning today. » Day 2 If we’re honest, we’ll admit there are lots of things we don’t know. For instance, we don’t really know what it’s like to journey miles for clean water because it’s piped in to our homes. But after you’ve walked or run the Global 6K for Water, you’ll have a slight taste of the experience. Here’s another thing you may not know (or remember). The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:19, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit …?” What a great insight! No matter its shape, your body holds God’s presence—and that’s something to celebrate.

With its origins dating back to the late 1960s, CCM resembles musical styles of popular-secular culture while retaining fundamental Christian values in lyrical content. This historical perspective of CCM marketing strategies, CCM music television, CCM and secular music, arts worlds within CCM, and the science of storytelling in CCM aims to provide readers with the context and understanding of the significant role that CCM plays in modern-day evangelism.

Has One so great been found?” He triumphs! Angels shout from heaven; Yon virgin bears a Son! By Him the power of sin is riven; By Him the victory’s won.

  • Unpopular Culture and Explore Its Critical Possibilities and Ramifications from a Large Variety of Perspectives
    15 mm front 153 mm 8 mm 19,9 mm 8 mm front 153 mm 15 mm 15 mm TELEVISUAL CULTURE TELEVISUAL CULTURE This collection includes eighteen essays that introduce the concept of Lüthe and Pöhlmann (eds) unpopular culture and explore its critical possibilities and ramifications from a large variety of perspectives. Proposing a third term that operates beyond the dichotomy of high culture and mass culture and yet offers a fresh approach to both, these essays address a multitude of different topics that can all be classified as unpopular culture. From David Foster Wallace and Ernest Hemingway to Zane Grey, from Christian rock and country to clack cetal, from Steven Seagal to Genesis (Breyer) P-Orridge, from K-pop to The Real Housewives, from natural disasters to 9/11, from thesis hatements to professional sports, these essays find the unpopular across media and genres, and they analyze the politics and the aesthetics of an unpopular culture (and the unpopular in culture) that has not been duly recognized as such by the theories and methods of cultural studies. Martin Lüthe is an associate professor in North American Cultural Studies at the John F. Kennedy-Institute at Freie Universität Berlin. Unpopular Culture Sascha Pöhlmann is an associate professor in American Literary History at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich. 240 mm Martin Lüthe and Sascha Pöhlmann (eds) Unpopular Culture ISBN: 978-90-8964-966-9 AUP.nl 9 789089 649669 15 mm Unpopular Culture Televisual Culture The ‘televisual’ names a media culture generally in which television’s multiple dimensions have shaped and continue to alter the coordinates through which we understand, theorize, intervene, and challenge contemporary media culture.
