Glitter in the Sun


Book Description

Christian author Jane Wells, a talented small-group leader, presents a Bible study based on the hugely successful Twilight novels and movies. Many Christian churches may never have considered discussing a series of novels about vampires and werewolves, but church leaders need not fear Twilight, Wells shows us. She argues that God speaks in many ways. In the Bible, God wrote on walls, sent angel-grams and even empowered a donkey to advise his human master. God still whispers to us, Wells writes, sometimes through our popular culture. Glitter in the Sun explores how we can glimpse truths of our faith through the Twilight saga. These tales remind us of the eternal power of Love. The Bible tells us that ultimately only God can love us in a truly timeless way. Glitter in the Sun invites individual readers and Bible-study groups to consider that there may be links between the love stories of Twilight and the One who can truly satisfy our longing hearts. This may be a surprising choice for church study, but Glitter in the Sun was created to encourage small-group participants who may never have considered attending a Bible study group until now.

Glitter in My Wounds


Book Description

The result of a series of chance encounters, 'Glitter in My Wounds' embraces accident and improvisation in the face of the restrictive categories that pervade art and life. The book is shaped around a series of portraits of the transgender activist and actress Gersande Spelsberg made by the artist and educator Adam Broomberg. Spelsberg sat for Broomberg and together they made 100 photographs, shot on 5x4 negative and lit only using the sun and mirrors--the same distinctive lighting technique employed in Helmar Lerski's remarkable series "Metamorphosis Through Light". Spelsberg's story of transitioning reflects on and questions the many toxic pre-existing conditions that shape contemporary gender roles. CAConrad's book '(Soma)tic Poetry Rituals', serves as a roadmap for confronting identities that had previously felt fixed and immutable and in this collection Broomberg encountered the poem "Glitter in My Wounds", with its sparkling echoes of the portraits Broomberg and Spelsberg had made. A prismatic reflection on identity and encounter formed in the meeting of three uncompromising artists, 'Glitter in My Wounds' confronts rigid conventions with an iconoclastic combination of portraits and poetics.
