Of all the animals in God's creation, He chose the weakest, most small-minded, timid and defenseless to characterize us, His children. Yet He calls us, His sheep, to be the victorious conquerors of the earth, to stand in boldness against the rulers of this world and to overcome it. How can such defenseless creatures ever even stand a chance? The answer is that we can't. Our only chance at victory is to follow the One who has already defeated this world. "If the LORD is my shepherd," do I truly want to follow Him, or am I expecting Him to follow me? What does it mean to be truly shepherded by Him? That seems so scary and uncertain. It means I must give up my right to myself and allow Him to lead me where He thinks I should go. It means that this "you" must become His "ewe."This Bible study may be different from any other one you have done, for the aim of this study is not to gain more knowledge and understanding as much as it is about letting go of knowledge and understanding that you already have. This will be our first and greatest lesson in Becoming Ewe, we don't have to "know," we simply must learn to follow the One who does. Becoming Ewe offers a six-week bible study including five weeks of homework, that allow women to embark on a journey through Psalm 23. Videos are free and available at www.becomingwew.com. Author, Rhonda de la Moriniere M.Ed, uses her counseling background, bible knowledge, as well as a mixture of her personal testimony to offer a new take on an old Psalm as she ponders, "what if following God has more to becoming than doing? " There is REST when we finally surrender and allow Jesus to do what He came to do, become our Good Shepherd.

This book makes a significant contribution to contemporary debates on "globalization," culture and gender. Focusing on intersections of the local and the global in Africa, contributors elucidate how translocal and transnational cultural currents are mediated by gender, how they reshape gender constructs and relations, and how they both manifest and impinge on relations of power.

Female Voices From An Ewe Dance Drumming Community In Ghana written by James Burns and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017-07-05 with Music categories.
Ewe dance-drumming has been extensively studied throughout the history of ethnomusicology, but up to now there has not been a single study that addresses Ewe female musicians. James Burns redresses this deficiency through a detailed ethnography of a group of female musicians from the Dzigbordi community dance-drumming club from the rural town of Dzodze, located in South-Eastern Ghana. Dzigbordi was specifically chosen because of the author's long association with the group members, and because it is part of a genre known as adekede, or female songs of redress, where women musicians critique gender relations in society. Burns uses audio and video interviews, recordings of rehearsals and performances and detailed collaborative analyses of song texts, dance routines and performance practice to address important methodological shifts in ethnomusicology that outline a more humanistic perspective of music cultures. This perspective encompasses the inter-linkages between history, social processes and individual creative artists. The voices of Dzigbordi women provide us not only with a more complete picture of Ewe music-making, they further allow us to better understand the relationship between culture, social life and individual creativity. The book will therefore appeal to those interested in African Studies, Gender Studies and Oral Literature, as well as ethnomusicology. Includes a DVD documentary.

The Ewe of Ghana, Togo and Benin have been one of the most documented ethnic groups in West Africa, given their encounters with the German, French and British colonial administrations. In 1906, Jakob Spieth, a German Bremen Missionary, published Die Ewe-Stamme. Die Ewe-Stamme is one of the most comprehensive treatises on the history, religion, economic life, traditional social structure, and, indeed, the entire spectrum of everyday life of the Ewe. Published over 100 years ago the book had limited circulation and became increasingly rare to the extent that it almost became a deified piece of work and source of classified knowledge. Additionally, Die Ewe-Stamme was published in German and old non-standard and colloquial Ewe languages. It is hoped this translation of Die Ewe-Stamme into English and contemporary Ewe might create a revival of interest amongst researchers, enhance the understanding for the traditional Ewe culture and become reading material in schools and universities.

There are many ideas about how to increase the size of a church. But what if our vision is upside down? What if Gods desire is that we focus on being a quality church instead of simply a large church? The Bible envisions the church as a spotless bride, a vision of quality. Todays church seems far from Gods vision of perfection, but that does not change the goals God has for His flock. Using Psalm 23 as a blueprint, Becoming a Grand Champion Church explores how Christ is shepherding His church toward maturity. A gap exists between this ages knowledge of sheep and shepherding that makes it difficult to grasp the fullness of Christs shepherding work in the church. The author seeks to fill that gap with homespun remembrances of raising sheep to be shown at the county fair. He then ties the shepherds duties with practical suggestions of how the whole body can work alongside the Good Shepherd toward Christs vision for His bride. The result of following Gods plan is a Grand Champion Church that reflects the qualities of Christ to the world.

Possession Ecstasy And Law In Ewe Voodoo written by Judy Rosenthal and has been published by University of Virginia Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1998 with History categories.
As a new resident of Togo in 1985, Judy Rosenthal witnessed her first Gorovodu trance ritual. Over the next eleven years, she studied this voodoo in West Africa's Ewe populations of coastal Ghana, Togo, and Benin, an area once called the Slave Coast. The result is Possession, Ecstasy, and Law in Ewe Voodoo, an ethnography of spirit possession that focuses on law and morality in "medecine Vodu" orders. Gorovodu is not a doctrinal set, but rather a lingusitic, moral, and spiritual community, with both real and imagined aspects. In medecine Vodu possession, the deities evoked are spirits of "bought people" from the savanna regions, slaves who worked for southern coastal lineages, often marrying into Ewe families. Drumming and dancing rituals, replete with voluptuous trances and gender reversals, bring these "foreign" spirits back into Ewe communities to protect worshippers, heal the sick and troubled, arbitrate disputes, and enjoy themselves as they did before they died. (Rosenthal employs Bakhtin's theory of carnival to interpret the openly festive element of Gorovodu.) The changeable nature of the religion echoes the lack of boundaries of the Gorovodu family and the residents' belief that communal and individual identity are fluid rather than fixed. Numerous name changes early in this century indicated a strategy for resisting colonial control. Writing from a background of anthropology, Rosenthal carefully monitors her own role as narrator in the book, aware of the cultural distance between her and the Africans she is writing about. She intends this ethnography to mirror the "texts" of voodoo itself, a body of signifiers and meanings with which the reader must interact in order to make sense of it.

Providing the philosophical, practical, and theoretical leverage for abandoning evolution and development in favor of engineering human beings, Becoming Immortal examines the directions biological change might take if civilization were to take charge of its own destiny. With the aid of embryonic manipulation, cloning, and stem-cell therapy, immortality would seem within the reach of future generations. The question is, "Do we presently have the wisdom to undertake creating immortal organisms?" The author examines every facet of this question, from theory to practice, and provides an answer through an in-depth analysis of life and death.
