Pastoral Leadership for Manhood and Womanhood (Foundations of the Family)»rank: 420548from: Crossway Books

Come Alive!: The Spirited Art of Sister Corita»rank: 415106by: Julie Ault, Daniel Berrigan, Sister Corita Kent
: :At 18, Corita Kent (1918-1986) entered the Roman Catholic order of Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Los Angeles, where she taught art and eventually ran the art department.

: :The Second Edition of Symbols, Selves, and Social Reality introduces students to the symbolic interactionist perspective in sociology. This book differs from other texts on interactionism in several important respects.

Third, it includes an analysis of the changing nature and experience of selfhood in contemporary society. Fourth, the authors provide a useful ... |
