Outskirts Press. Paperback. New. Paperback. 142 pages. Dimensions: 8.9in. x 5.9in. x 0.4in.For too long, members of the GLBT community have been castigated and condemned by mainstream religions. The communitys very existence is branded as being against the teachings of the Bible and the word of God. Furthermore, it is stated that community members deserve no rights equal to other, more traditional and Christian members of society at large. Community members have been targeted with violence by various hate groups in the U. S. and other countries, in point of fact, three to four members are murdered worldwide in the most horrible, unimaginably violent way. Ordained minister in 1996 and a lifelong member of the GLBT community, Rev. Carpenter takes a look at the historical, cultural and societal pressures at work when the Judeo-Christian religion was in its infancy, the struggle to translate and interpret ancient scriptures, then discusses the long term effects this pressure had on the religion we have today. Failure to take the history and culture of the time and the history of the Bible into account when reading scripture only gives a partial picture of what is expected of us by God. For instance, quoting from the most popular manual of moral doctrine in the Middle Ages, St. Jerome insisted that, A man who loves his wife very much is an adulterer. Any love for someone elses wife, or too much love for ones own, is shameful. The upright man should love his wife with his judgment, not his affections. Where did the idea that women were the cause of the downfall of Man, was it from such pronouncements as this from one of the Early Church Fathers; If there dwelt upon earth a faith as great as is the reward of faith that is expected in the heavens, all of you, best beloved sisters (would rather) walk about as Eve -mourning and repentant. This would be in order that by every garb of satisfaction she might the more fully expiate that which she derives from Eve -the shame I mean, of the first sin, and the odium attaching to her as the cause of This item ships from multiple locations.

He had always dreamed of making a difference in peoples lives. But when he met the then relatively unknown Martin Luther King Jr. the course of Balls life changed forever. In this memoir, A Marked Heart, Ball narrates his journey: beginning with growing up in wartime England; immigrating to the United States in 1954 to take the pastors course at Chicagos Moody Bible Institute; attending Yale University as a scholarship student; and, most importantly, meeting King. Later, he worked on Wall Street as a lawyer, started a family, championed the 401 (k) plan, and served as assistant secretary of labor. A Marked Heart describes how Balls encounter with King inspired the rest of his lifes work, and it provides a multifaceted look at his immigration, education, family relationships, career, and his commitment to public service. Though Ball never became a minister, his story communicates how his commitment to God and prayer guided his life. A heartwarming portrait of faith pushing back against adversity, in an amazing journey inspired by Martin Luther King -The Right Reverend Herman Hollerith IV, Bishop of the Diocese of Southern Virginia Episcopal Church In his early life, David George Ball, like Mr. Justice Holmes, had the break of being touched with fire having a religious father, a strict mother, and contact with Martin Luther King Jr. If this nation is to remain great, such ideas as expressed in Davids book should be introduced to persons in their last year of high school or their first year of college -William T.
