Kirchenmusikpädagogik: Grundlagen, Handlungsfelder, Perspektiven (Kirchenmusikwissenschaft. Pädagogische und kulturwissenschaftliche Studien)
by Timm SieringDie Musikpädagogik widmet sich in Forschung und Lehre dem Spannungsverhältnis von Mensch und Musik. In der Kirchenmusik tritt Gott als dritte Instanz hier hinzu. Indem die Kirchenmusikpädagogik deskriptiv und normativ auf die Begriffe Mensch, Musik und Gott zugreift, wird ihr Forschungsfeld thematisch auf eine Weise geweitet, die über klassische pädagogische und didaktische Fragestellungen in einem engeren Sinne hinausgeht. Eine so konturierte Kirchenmusikpädagogik dient der akademischen Kirchenmusik als Leitwissenschaft und ist dabei auf intra- und interdisziplinäres Vorgehen angewiesen.Der vorliegende Band unternimmt zunächst den Versuch, die Kirchenmusikpädagogik wissenschaftstheoretisch zu fassen und gegenüber ihren Bezugswissenschaften zu verorten. Sodann widmen sich die hier versammelten 14 Beiträge ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit unterschiedlichen, auf ihre je eigene Art einschlägigen Themenfeldern und Fragestellungen. Dadurch wird die Vielgestaltigkeit der methodischen und inhaltlichen Zugänge wissenschaftlicher Kirchenmusikpädagogik im Horizont interdisziplinären Nachdenkens angedeutet und expliziert.

Kirtland Temple: The Biography of a Shared Mormon Sacred Space
by David J. HowlettThe only temple completed by Mormonism's founder, Joseph Smith Jr., the Kirtland Temple in Kirtland, Ohio, receives 30,000 Mormon pilgrims every year. Though the site is sacred to all Mormons, the temple's religious significance and the space itself are contested by rival Mormon dominations: its owner, the relatively liberal Community of Christ, and the larger Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. David J. Howlett sets the biography of Kirtland Temple against the backdrop of religious rivalry. The two sides have long contested the temple's ownership, purpose, and significance in both the courts and Mormon literature. Yet members of each denomination have occasionally cooperated to establish periods of co-worship, host joint tours, and create friendships. Howlett uses the temple to build a model for understanding what he calls parallel pilgrimage--the set of dynamics of disagreement and alliance by religious rivals at a shared sacred site. At the same time, he illuminates social and intellectual changes in the two main branches of Mormonism since the 1830s, providing a much-needed history of the lesser-known Community of Christ.

The Kiss of God: 27 Lessons on the Holy Spirit
by James C. Howell Penguin Group USA IncIn 27 brief lessons on the Holy Spirit, James Howell introduces us to the third person of the Trinity, "this personal, elusive, invisible, powerful Spirit." Who is the Holy Spirit? What is the work of the Spirit? How can I connect with the Holy Spirit in my life? What would that look like? These are just a few of the questions believers may struggle with as they attempt to come to a fuller understanding of the Holy Spirit. Drawing on his own experience as well as the wisdom of other writers, Howell invites readers to know and experience God the Spirit. The title of the book comes from a quotation by Bernard of Clairvaux that it is appropriate to think of the Holy Spirit as a kiss. The author explains that Clairvaux "is imagining God the Father loving his son Jesus so tenderly that God would kiss the son, and the Spirit then would be that kiss." Some of the lessons are: The Spirit in the Trinity, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, The Spirit and Creation, The Spirit in Us, Culture and the Spirit, The Spirit in the Church, Sending the Comforter, The Spirit and Freedom, and The Spirit and the Future. Each lesson begins with a prayer written by the author. A study guide is included to assist small group leaders.

Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry
by Lisa BevereHow far can I go? It's the question of a generation wanting straight answers. Often the very questions we ask reveal our hearts better than anything else. In Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry, Lisa Bevere tackles these tough issues by moving us from rules to relationship. There is no question we need a renewal of purity, but what we're doing is not working.How far can you go? Ask yourself: What do you ultimately want? Immediate and temporary gratification that wanes with the passage of time? Or passion and exclusive intimacy that endures and intensifies?God wants to move us beyond the restraint of the law (which arouses sin) and plant us into a garden of longing -- where our sexuality and passion is carefully guarded and cultivated until the time for its awakening. This is a book for every daughter in waiting and every woman who has never known desire in her life and marriage.
Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry Workbook
by Lisa BevereWomen are admitting promiscuity isn't really getting them what they wanted after all--because as women we always stand to lose so much more than men when we give in. Men love adventure and intrigue, while women crave intimacy, romance, and passion. We were created for so much more than a sexual outlet for men, and as women, we want and deserve more than just sexual release for ourselves. In this fun and interactive companion to Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry, Lisa Bevere helps women of all ages--youth and adult--to look at abstinence from a healthy, life-giving, exciting point of view. Through letters, prayers, questions to answer, and even movies, readers will discover they can gain the freedom to reclaim the dreams they have lost. God wants us to walk in purity--to realize and live the dreams He has for us, and we have for ourselves.It is time to restore dignity, honor, strength--and yes, even power--to generations of women, young and old, who are no longer willing to lose.

Kissing the Limitless: Deep Magic and the Great Work of Transforming Yourself and the World
by T. Thorn CoyleThis book was written to be used in concert with whatever pagan tradition you are currently involved in. There are at least three levels to it: part one will help you strengthen the foundations of your spiritual practice, part two will ensure that you are sound in body, mind, emotion, sex, and spirit, and have developed will and ethics, and part three will lead you further into connection with your Godhood. . . The tools used to do this are breath work, dream work, pendulum work, aura reading, tarot, meditation, spells, and others. The goal of the book is to help guide you through the stages of personal consciousness that will then enable you to step into inclusive consciousness—a consciousness that encompasses the personal, political, environmental, social, mental, and transpersonal. [It is this] inclusive consciousness [that] enables us to reach the limitless, the divine, Goddess or God.
