Isn't that what the Bible says? - Sexual Minorities are dangerous to our churches and communitiesthey shouldn't be allowed in. - Can a person showing homosexual or transgender tendencies be cured by prayer or medicine or psychiatry? This pathbreaking Handbook jointly published by the National Council of Churches in India  NCI], takes a candid look at the issues of human sexuality and gender diversity from a Christian point of view. It boldly takes up issues which many Christians feel are taboo, and which the Church all too easily sweeps under the carpet or keeps hidden in the guise of purity and holiness. It is a 'readyreckoner' for Church leaders, pastors, laypeople, women's groups and the youth of the Church, for students of theology, for personnel working in Christian organizations, and also for other faith communities seeking to understand and come to grips with these sensitive topics. It offers what could possibly be a Christian response, and reminds readers of the tolerance, acceptance and love that Jesus Christ showed to the marginalized and those considered 'sinners' in his own time. The Editor, Philip Kuruvilla, is an ordained minister in the Indian Orthodox Church. He has been working with the National Council of Churches in India and the Christian Conference of Asia in the field of Human Rights, HIV \u0026amp; AIDS, and Sexual Minority issues.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49707341676817,"sku":"DVDB000M343AIVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423262728465,"sku":"CINB000M343AIG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B000M343AI.jpg?v=1751161454"},{"product_id":"singing-to-a-bulldog-book-anson-williams-9781621452256","title":"Singing to a Bulldog","description":"Singing to a Bulldog presents the practical and motivational lessons Anson Williams, an accomplished actor, director, singer and producer gleaned from his life experience and words of wisdom from the head janitor at one of his first jobs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGrowing up in 1950s California, young Anson William Heimlich showed very little promise. Clumsy, unsure of himself, and made to feel like a failure by his disappointed artist of a dad, Anson started working odd jobs as a teenager to help support his family. His boss at one of these jobs, an aging African-American janitor named Willie, unexpectedly became a mentor--and the lessons he taught young Anson proved to be invaluable throughout his subsequent career as an actor, director, and entrepreneur. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In Singing to a Bulldog, Anson Williams (as he came to be known) relates both these lessons and the never-before-revealed stories of the many seminal TV series he has worked on and the famous (and not-so-famous) folks he's encountered during his 40 years in Hollywood, including: - being directed by Steven Spielberg in his first dramatic role - getting kidnapped by Gerald Ford's daughter at the White House - subbing for Sammy Davis, Jr., as a headliner with Bill Cosby - being humbled by Sunny, a young volunteer for the Cerebral Palsy National Organization - mentoring Shailene Woodley on the set of The Secret Life of the American Teenager and many more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This compelling read has a cross-generational and broad appeal, combining all the fun of a celebrity memoir with the emotional impact of an inspirational bestseller.
