Author John Wesley Downey, in his first non-fiction book, creatively combines basic Judeo-Christian beliefs with the simplest and most compelling concepts of Eastern religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism to give readers The Ten Commandments of Spirituality. By combining basic spiritual concepts from multiple religions with pop culture references to movies, TV and music, Downey provides spiritual guidance that is totally accessible for contemporary readers. Written in a conversational style, it applies the best of spiritual principles in practical ways to everyday living. Whether the reader is a member of an organized religion or an independent free thinker who simple describes themselves as spiritual, the content addresses the challenges of contemporary life with guidance that is alternately serious, humorous, insightful, and thought provoking, and above all spiritually healthy. Also included are Downey's answers to Ten Frequently Asked Questions about God, how to cope with the dehumanizing aspects of today's technology, and why the current unhealthy cultural obsession with celebrities is a dangerous exercise in false idolatry. Finally, Downey's reviews of the greatest spiritual movies of all time round out a book that is sure to provoke discussion among both believers and non-believers alike. The Ten Commandments of Spirituality is a A 21st Century Spiritual Manifesto, that provides a solid foundation for healthy living.

"I have a sense that the times themselves, apart from more or less deliberately created crises, render strong things fragile, and fragile things mortally endangered. The times themselves are a permanent crisis." So writes Daniel Berrigan in this journal of reflections and musings from the late 1970s. First published in 1981, this book traces Berrigan's work after his release from Danbury Prison in 1972 for his part in the Catonsville Nine antiwar demonstration--from his experiences in Palestine, Northern Ireland, and France (where he lived with Thich Nhat Hanh), to his experiences as a teacher in Manitoba and Berkeley. Throughout, Berrigan ponders the commands of Christ, the struggle to be faithful to these commands, and why so few take them seriously. With wit and wisdom, Berrigan shares his faith journey and encourages us to stay faithful to that journey, to be peacemakers for the long haul.

Spectacular Vernaculars examines hip-hop's cultural rebellion in terms of its specific implications for postmodern theory and practice, using the politics of reception as its primary rhetorical ground. Hip-hop culture in general, and rap music in particular, present model sites for such an inquiry, since they enact both postmodern modes of production—the appropriation of tropes, technologies, and material culture—and a potential means of resistance to the commodification of cultural forms under late capitalism. By paying specific attention to the historical and cultural context of hip-hop as a black artform and locating its practice of resistance in terms of a postmodernist reading of consumer culture, this book offers a complex reading of hip-hop as a postmodern practice, with implications both for theories of postmodernism and cultural studies as a whole.

Behind the scenes of movies like The Ten Commandments, The Prince of Egypt, or Exodus: Gods and Kings is a complicated, and at times, messy biblical story. In this short guide to the book of Exodus, Biblical scholar Peter Enns doesn’t just break down the story for the average person to understand but takes us behind the story—to the history and traditions that led us to the story as we have it today. By asking the important questions like, “What kind of book are we reading?” and taking us along Moses’s and the Israelite journey, Enns brings the best in biblical scholarship to us everyday people. And, as we have come to expect from Pete Enns, he does it with his usual humor and wit.
