OF WHAT FUTURE ARE THESE THE WILD, EARLY DAYS? An exploration of the role that artists play in resisting authoritarianism with a sci-fi twist. In poetry, dialogue and visual art the book follows two wandering poets as they make their way from village to village, across a prison colony moon full of exiled rebels, robots, and storytellers. Part post-apocalyptic road journal, part alternate universe history of Hip Hop, and part “Letters to a Young Poet”-style toolkit for emerging poets and aspiring movement-builders, it's also a one-of-a-kind practitioners' take on poetry, power, and possibility.

I Choose to Sing by Bethany McClurg Pdf

What happens when a young woman promises God everything and he takes it? With an unquenchable passion to glorify her Savior at nineteen years old, Bethany McClurg was on the cusp of following her dreams into a life of music and ministry. Suddenly diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia just two weeks after resolutely committing to follow God wherever he would lead, she was thrown into a journey that would draw her farther from her own dreams and closer to her God than she ever could have imagined. In this honest and inspiring account of her battle with a life-threatening disease and its ensuing complications, Bethany stands bravely behind the shield of faith to confront the far more wearisome battles of unbridled fear, despair, and discouragement. The cornerstone of her very existence is altered as the cross becomes her beacon and strength, taking the place of broken dreams and shattered trust. Then like a songbird on wings of grace, she emerges from the valley of the shadow of death, beckoning others to choose to sing of his love once again and forever.

Sing the Rage by Sonali Chakravarti Pdf

What is the relationship between anger and justice, especially when so much of our moral education has taught us to value the impartial spectator, the cold distance of reason? In Sing the Rage, Sonali Chakravarti wrestles with this question through a careful look at the emotionally charged South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which from 1996 to 1998 saw, day after day, individuals taking the stand to speak—to cry, scream, and wail—about the atrocities of apartheid. Uncomfortable and surprising, these public emotional displays, she argues, proved to be of immense value, vital to the success of transitional justice and future political possibilities. Chakravarti takes up the issue from Adam Smith and Hannah Arendt, who famously understood both the dangers of anger in politics and the costs of its exclusion. Building on their perspectives, she argues that the expression and reception of anger reveal truths otherwise unavailable to us about the emerging political order, the obstacles to full civic participation, and indeed the limits—the frontiers—of political life altogether. Most important, anger and the development of skills needed to truly listen to it foster trust among citizens and recognition of shared dignity and worth. An urgent work of political philosophy in an era of continued revolution, Sing the Rage offers a clear understanding of one of our most volatile—and important—political responses.

Called to Sing by Rachel Culver Pdf

Worship leaders, vocalists and every member of the body of Christ; You are a singer! You are called to sing the new song to the Lord. This is what you were born for. All throughout scripture we see the biblical command to sing to the Lord. But in our performance driven, celebrity culture, we have left this command up to the “professionals”. “Called to Sing” will show us scripturally how we are all singers. It will demystify prophetic worship and show you through practical tools how accessible and attainable it can be. Singing was always meant to be simple. Diving into scripture, this book will give a brief biblical history of prophetic singing beginning with the first prophetic song recorded in scripture the Song of Moses in Exodus 15 straight through the Hymns of Revelation. For worship leaders in the church, Called to Sing will show us how we can incorporate prophetic singing into our services and what the relationship is between prophetic singers and musicians. Through scripture and testimony, let this book inspire you to sing the songs from your heart to the Lord as well as the songs on the Lord’s heart for His people. SING!

The Reason Why I Sing by E. a. James Pdf

This is the author's Book of Psalms (Songs). Just as the Bible's Psalms have been recorded without the music scores, whereby each individual singer (believer) can allow the music of their own salvation to sing the psalm within them, so too this Book of Songs allows each believer to create his or her own music, beat, and tempo to manifest one's own harmonious walk in the Spirit.

How High Should Boys Sing? by Martin Ashley Pdf

'A boy sings...a beautiful thing' (www.boychoirs.org), but is it? What kinds of boy, singing what kinds of music and to whom? Martin Ashley presents a unique consideration of boys' singing that shows the high voice to be historically, culturally and physiologically more problematic even than is commonly assumed. Through Ashley's extensive conversations with young performers and analysis of their reception by 'peer audiences', the research reveals that the common supposition that 'boys don't want to sound like girls' is far from adequate in explaining the 'missing males' syndrome that can perplex choir directors. The book intertwines the study of singing with the study of identity to create a rich resource for musicians, scholars, teachers and all those concerned with young male involvement in music through singing. The conclusions of the book will challenge many attitudes and unconsidered positions through its argument that many boys actually want to sing but are discouraged by a failure of the adult world to understand the boy mind. Ashley intends the book to stand as an indictment of much complacency and myopia with regard to the young male voice. A substantial grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council has enabled the production of a multi-media resource for schools, choirs and youth organizations called Boys Keep Singing. Based on the contents of this book, the resource shows how, once the interest of boys is captured in primary schools, their singing can be sustained and developed through the difficult but vital early secondary years of ages 11 - 14, about which this book says so much. The resource is lavishly illustrated by short films of boys singing, supported by interviews with boys and their teachers, and a wealth of of animated diagrams and cartoons. It is available to schools and organizations involved in musical education through registration at www.boys-keep-singing.com.
