Gonzalez explores how a Hispanic perspective illuminates the biblical text in ways that will be valuable not only for Latino readers but also for the church at large. Introducing five "paradigms" for Latino biblical interpretation, Gonzalez discusses theory and provides concrete examples of biblical texts that gain new meaning when read from a different perspective.
A history of Santa and his elves.
An entertaining, often surprising look at the life of the world’s most influential fictional character. He is the embodiment of charity and generosity, a creation of mythology, a tool of clever capitalists. The very idea of him is enduring and powerful. Santa Claus was born in early-nineteenth-century America, but his family tree goes back seven hundred years to Saint Nicholas, patron saint of children. Intervening generations were shaggy and strange — whip-wielding menaces to naughty boys and girls. Yet as the raucous, outdoor, alcohol-fuelled holiday gave way to a more domestic, sentimental model, a new kind of gift-bringer was called for — a loveable elf, still judgmental but far less threatening. In this engaging social and cultural history, Gerry Bowler examines the place of Santa Claus in history, literature, advertising, and art. He traces his metamorphosis from a beardless youth into a red-suited peddler. He reveals the lesser-known aspects of the gift-bringer’s life — Santa’s involvement with social and political causes of all stripes (he enlisted on the Union side in the American Civil War), his starring role in the movies and as adman for gun-makers and insurance companies. And he demolishes the myths surrounding Santa Claus and Coca-Cola. Santa Claus: A Biography will stand as the classic work on the long-lived and multifarious Mr. Claus.
Around Christmas we think a lot about presents, but have you ever wondered why we give gifts? Learn about the life of Saint Nicholas and discover why he became known as one of the greatest giftgivers of all time. Told as a delightful poem, this colorfully illustrated children's book also includes tools to help parents engage in conversation about the content. Dynamic read-along ebook narrated by Leslie Bustard.

This story relates four years in the life of an Illinois woman recently graduated from Purdue University pharmacy school. She leaves her home to fly to a Spanish language school in San Jose, Costa Rica. She is there for four months. LaPaz, Bolivia, is her next stop where she will run a pharmacy in Clinica Americana. She uses many other skills: taking photos of surgeries, works in the office of the nursing school, plays the piano to accompany services at local churches. The high altiplano area near LaPaz gives her the opportunity to see how these people survive with the barest essentials. The women and children tended the sheep and spun the wool into cloth while the men plowed the rocky land with crude wooden plows driven by oxen or horses. Montero, in the jungle area, is where she spent her last year helping an Argentine doctor and two nurses working where there was no medical help for miles. They traveled in an old jeep with their supplies. Her adventures are somewhat comical and at the same time very heart-wrenching.
