Good, Butter, Best


Book Description

At the 2019 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, TODAY show anchor, Al Roker, had a hilarious run-in with a giant stick of butter that sent social media into a frenzy. With #butterman trending on Twitter, celebrities and noncelebrities alike remarked on the scene, which for many was the highlight of the parade. From that event, Donny Willis (a.k.a. the "Butter Man") has been featured on the TODAY show and a variety of other media outlets. Borrowing from that experience and many others in his life, Donny seeks to answer questions like: Can big dreams actually become reality? If so, do we just stumble into these dreams, or can we do something to nudge them along? Is it just sheer luck, or is there a science to making dreams come true? As you walk alongside Donny on his journey unveiling the growth cycle of a dream, you will discover practical ideas you can apply to your own life as you head toward a butter tomorrow.




The Peanut Butter Man


Book Description

As radicals were threatening to burn their home, Qureshi's wife asked their seven-year old daughter, 'Sameena, they are going to burn our house; are you ready?' How many Christian girls at age seven would be prepared to answer as Sameena did? 'I am, for I know we will meet in heaven.' Raised Muslim, the son of an imam, how does a man like Qureshi end up giving his life, and those of his family, to Jesus Christ? Two words account for the great change in Qureshi's life: 'But God...' These two powerful words emphasize God's complete control of every situation for his own purpose. From his time as a religious teacher to his life as The Peanut Butter Man, Qureshi's story contains examples of how Islam responds to one of it own who turns from Islam to follow Jesus Christ. It also gives insights as to why Muslims find ideas such as the Holy Trinity, the Son of God, and the assurance of getting to heaven so offensive. As readers witness how God wonderfully used Qureshi, they will receive a wakeup call to make their lives a more effective witness for Jesus Christ. Their own faith will be strengthened as they walk with Qureshi through his many experiences in following Jesus Christ.

Queering and Querying the Paradise of Paradox


Book Description

This book provides readers with a study of the characteristics that make life unique for sexual minorities in Brazil while also viewing Brazil in relation to global LGBT sociopolitical movements. It critically assesses the complex relationship(s) between the visual arts and political activism, carefully analyzing artistic, cinematic, and photographic representations of LGBTQ identities. Brazil provides a useful case to example, with the cultivation of ambiguity in contemporary (re)constructions of queer life. In this book, the author conducts the first comprehensive discourse analysis of the dynamics and features of the largest LGBT Pride Parade in the world. This problematizes and analyzes the relationship between burgeoning critical socio-political movements and institutions and the language and new media discourses used to configure and conceptualize them. The aim of this project is to create a theoretical scholarly framework promoting linkages between political activism and academic scholarship and by using discourse analysis, the intricacies of terminology Brazilian sexual minorities adopt and adapt, illustrating the development of LGBTQ identities through performative language use.
