DOWNLOAD EBOOKA new way for Christians to think about sexuality Author Miguel De La Torre, a well-respected ethicist and professorknown for his innovative readings of Christian doctrine, rejectsboth the liberal and conservative prejudices about sex. He insteaddevelops an ethic that is liberative yet grounded soundly in theBible; a sexuality that celebrates God’s gift of great sex byfostering intimacy, vulnerability and openness between lovingpartners. In A Lily Among the Thorns, De La Torre examines theBible, current events, history and our culture-at-large to show howand why racism, sexism, and classism have distortedChristianity’s central teachings about sexuality. The authorshows how the church’s traditionally negative attitudestoward sex in general—and toward women, people of color, andgays in particular—have made it difficult, if not impossible,to create a biblically based and just sexual ethic. But when theBible is read from the viewpoint of those who have beenmarginalized in our society, preconceived notions aboutChristianity and sex get turned on their heads. Taking onhot-button topics such as pornography, homosexuality, prostitution,and celibacy, the author examines how “reading from themargins” provides a liberating approach to dealing withissues of sexuality.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe more things change, the more they remain the same. A young, idealistic doctor, with his wife and nurse, settle in a frontier community to provide life-saving medical care where none exists. The time is 1856 and the place, the Province of Canada. The couple are immediately beset by ignorance, greed, envy, malice, lust and treachery. Instead of seeking help from the doctor, the populace buys the reeve's inventions to treat their illnesses, which do them no good and in many cases harm. When Mr. Fitch's snake oil fails, those who resort to Dr. Forsyth, are unwilling to pay for his services. As a consequence, the reeve's needs are well met while the doctor must go door to door begging for his fees. When diphtheria strikes, parents only turn to the doctor when Fitch's formulas fail, but by then the epidemic is fully established. The doctor manages to save two thirds of the children, but finds himself blamed for the death of the ones who perished. He discovers the cause and puts an end to the epidemic, but in the process, makes two bitter enemies. The reeve saves himself from the brink of disaster when three people discover his disgraceful secret life. Forsaken and betrayed by the law when she desperately needs it, the doctor's wife must turn to her own resources. A chance encounter brings her in contact with Samuel Colt's new invention, and with it at her side she returns to seek justice.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLily: A Rhapsody in Red, second book in the King Years trilogy, is a dazzling comic epic of politics, sex and scandal during the 1920s and '30s. Our guide on the journey is the indomitable Lily Coolican, the former secret bride of Mackenzie King who follows her ne'er-do-well twin brother Jack to the raw mining country of northern Ontario. Jack gets rich; Lily gets Communism. In Ottawa Lily's Mum finds her true calling as the psychic architect of Mackenzie King's political triumphs. King, now leader of the Liberal Party, turns his skills in scheming and spiritualism to running the country. While his ethical elasticity traps him in a web of Grit patronage and corruption, Lily marches towards the dialectical light in service of the byzantine politics of the Communist Party. Lily is at once a remarkable political meditation and an uninhibited comedy that will outrage and delight, and change forever how Canadians think about the turbulent Twenties and Thirties.
