When heaven and earth collide, there’s a crash. That crash is the place we live in every day when we invite God’s will to be “done on earth as it is in heaven,” and there’s no better place to be if you want a glimpse of the Kingdom of God. Here, students are given a book that helps lead them in prayer to the point of impact so they can experience God in their everyday lives, and youth workers get lessons, activities, and other ideas to help them incorporate Crash into their ministries.

Today, so many are fearful of the unknown – a crumbling economy, job loss, loneliness, terrorism, tragic news around every corner. We are overwhelmed. Does the security and peace that should come from knowing we are in the hands of a loving God now seem to be an empty promise? Perhaps that’s because we have built our foundation on someone else’s faith – parents’, friend’s, or pastor’s, so we merely inherit a relationship with Jesus, but never find our own. A true storyteller and a teacher with a heart for ministry, Mark Hall traces the tragic, downward spiral that leads to a life of fear and spiritual compromise, and then charts the hopeful, upward road to the joy and confidence that comes when we claim our very own Jesus. Through fascinating personal stories, scriptural insights, and practical interactive studies, Your Own Jesus will liberate readers from compromise and empower them with joy and confidence.

Bagels, deli sandwiches and gefilte fish are only a few of the Jewish foods to have crossed into American culture and onto American plates. Rhapsody in Schmaltz traces the history and social impact of the cuisine that Yiddish-speaking Jews from Central and Eastern Europe brought to the U.S. and that their American descendants developed and refined. The book looks at how and where these dishes came to be, how they varied from region to region, the role they played in Jewish culture in Europe, and the role that they play in Jewish and more general American culture and foodways today.
Rhapsody in Schmaltz traces the pathways of Jewish food from the Bible and Talmud, to Eastern Europe, to its popular landing pads in North America today. With an eye for detail and a healthy dose of humor, Michael Wex also examines how these impact modern culture, from temple to television. He looks at Diane Keaton’s pastrami sandwich in Annie Hall, Andy Kaufman’s stint as Latke on Taxi and Larry David’s Passover seder on Curb Your Enthusiasm, shedding light on how Jewish food permeates our modern imaginations.
Rhapsody in Schmaltz is a journey into the sociology, humor, history, and traditions of food and Judaism.

In diesem Band wird die in der wissenschaftlichen Debatte bislang wenig beachtete Wechselbeziehung zwischen Interaktions- und Koordinationsarbeit am Beispiel sozialer Dienstleistungen beleuchtet: Koordinationsarbeit bildet beispielsweise eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für gelungene Interaktionsarbeit; Koordinationsarbeit beinhaltet selbst auch Interaktionsarbeit. Der Zusammenhang zwischen Interaktions- und Koordinationsarbeit wird in theoretisch-konzeptioneller Hinsicht und auf Basis empirischer Befunde aus verschiedenen Handlungsfeldern sozialer Dienstleistungen hin entfaltet. Auf dieser Grundlage werden Gestaltungsansätze für eine nachhaltige Arbeitsqualität von Interaktions- und Koordinationsarbeit sowie ein erweitertes Produktivitätsverständnis sozialer Dienstleistungen aufgezeigt.
