As a spokesman for disaffected youth of the post-1960s, Murakami Haruki has become one of the most important voices in contemporary Japanese literature, and he has gained a following in the United States through translations of his works. In Dances with Sheep, Matthew Strecher examines Murakami’s fiction—and, to a lesser extent, his nonfiction—for its most prevalent structures and themes. Strecher also delves into the paradoxes in Murakami’s writings that confront critics and casual readers alike. Murakami writes of “serious” themes yet expresses them in a relatively uncomplicated style that appeals to high school students as well as scholars; and his fictional work appears to celebrate the pastiche of postmodern expression, yet he rejects the effects of the postmodern on contemporary culture as dangerous. Strecher’s methodology is both historical and cultural as he utilizes four distinct yet interwoven approaches to analyze Murakami’s major works: the writer’s “formulaic” structure with serious themes; his play with magical realism; the intense psychological underpinnings of his literary landscape; and his critique of language and its capacity to represent realities, past and present. Dances with Sheep links each of these approaches with Murakami’s critical focus on the fate of individual identity in contemporary Japan. The result is that the simplicity of the Murakami hero, marked by lethargy and nostalgia, emerges as emblematic of contemporary humankind, bereft of identity, direction, and meaning. Murakami’s fiction is reconstructed in Dances with Sheep as a warning against the dehumanizing effects of late-model capitalism, the homogenization of the marketplace, and the elimination of effective counterculture in Japan.

On the run from assassins and worse, Wax and his friends cross the ice to a strange and deadly land. With several skars yet to find, the group heads to Tamas short on provisions and the means to buy them. Tamas has other ways of earning your stay, though, and what it costs may be more than Wax and Eujo can bear. Still, if they want to save their friends, their family, their world, the only answer is to play along. In the Dark Below, Ami plays a different game: keeping hope alive as more fiends crash into the isles and against a weakened Aegis. Desperate to untangle the mysteries behind the gods and these monsters, Ami takes a risk that could change everything, or destroy all she’s worked for. That same disaster befalls Gladdring, who balances his own survival in city where one’s life is measured by who he knows, what threats he can muster. The former Tenet finds knives in every corner, and if he means to survive, has to turn at least some against their owners. Success means vindication, a chance to put himself atop the shifting powers. Failure . . . no sense worrying about that miserable end. In The Dance of Gods, book five in The Seven Isles, legends meet their matches, steel clashes against monstrous terrors, and the fate of everyone rests on a single song.

Dancing with the Gods: Essays in Ga Ritual explores cosmological concepts and ritual actions of the Ga people of southeastern Ghana through case studies of calendrical agricultural rites, social status transition rites, and redressive rites. Based on fieldwork in the 1960s, the essays present descriptive analyses of verbal and non-verbal ritual action. While verbal ritual actions specify ideas pertinent to a particular rite, non-verbal ritual actions express more general concepts. Kilson's analyses show how the same motifs of non-verbal ritual action recur in sacred and secular Ga rites. Whenever and wherever such motifs occur, they convey the same basic underlying Ga concepts, thereby creating a unified conceptual network of belief that is the foundation of the Ga ritual system. The essays in this collection previously appeared in Anthropos, Journal of African Studies, Journal of Religion in Africa, Parabola, and Sextant.

We live in two seemingly incompatible worlds—rational and spiritual. How can we keep our balance? Like the dolphin who exists in both water and air, so must we learn to live and thrive in two conflicting worlds—the rational, material, everyday craziness of life versus the still, spiritual soulfulness of our deepest selves. Balancing the two—difficult as it often can be—is the key to our spiritual survival. Through poignant stories, spiritual teaching and insights, Karyn Kedar shares with us the ways we can integrate the everyday—family, work, personal challenges—with our quest for deeper spiritual understanding. She helps us to decode the three “languages” we must learn to weave the seemingly ordinary and extraordinary together: Prayer—The path through which our souls connect with the Divine. Perspective—How we define life’s twists and turns, and how our words and actions define the quality of our lives. Meaning—The quest to understand and make sense of all that seems incompatible. In graceful ways, Kedar shows us that by realizing the connection between the ordinary and the awe-inspiring, we can synchronize our hearts with the ways of the world and live with joy, a sense of calm and greater purpose.

There is no generation that has fallen under satanic deception like this where in we live. The first and most destructive reason is that we have wrongly defined MINISTERIAL SUCCESS. The emphasis in Joshua 1:8 is not just on success but on GOOD success...that suggest that its possible to have bad or wrong success. God Himself knows what good success is thats why He says it only comes by the WORD. Unfortunately we are witnessing a generation who lives in total deception. Deceiving and being deceived. Satan is not practically disturbed whether we mention Jesus is Lord or not. He has confidently created a counterfeit Church to dilute or make nonsense the genuineness of the gospel. Falsehood seems to thrive, masked within the envelope of large sized congregation, miracles and prophecies. This book looks at how Satan has infiltrated the church, how some celebrated Christian leaders who started out well has gradually slide into the camp of the enemy and has become tools in Satans hand to woo unsuspecting young ministers into cultic practices.... It also reveals what the true church is, Gods definition of what success is and his plan for the church and will as we close this age.

"In these essays a distinguished historian analyzes how the Indian nations of the Southeast grappled with nationalism, slavery, and missionaries. Against the background of this "combined onslaught on their cultural identity," McLoughlin describes what the Indians did "to preserve what they considered most important." The fate of Native Americans was inextricably bound up with the most vital questions of national life"--Publisher's description.
