God's Rx-Alphabet Soup is the result of using a tool that we all are familiar with-the alphabet. Bedtime for the author had become a stressful time due to several events-recent widowhood, loneliness and financial loss. Widows suddenly have more time. When she finally asked God for help, she felt led to start thinking of Biblical words that described God- Abba, All Sufficient, the Amen, Ancient of Days, Banner, Blessing, Branch, Bread of Life, Counselor, Creator...Eventually six alphabets emerged. They were very effective in helping her focus on the Lord, resulting in better sleep and a sense of peace and thankfulness; and so she shares this tool contributing several of the alphabets she developed over the last seven years.

In Critical Christianity, Courtney Handman analyzes the complex and conflicting forms of sociality that Guhu-Samane Christians of rural Papua New Guinea privilege and celebrate as “the body of Christ.” Within Guhu-Samane churches, processes of denominational schism—long relegated to the secular study of politics or identity—are moments of critique through which Christians constitute themselves and their social worlds. Far from being a practice of individualism, Protestantism offers local people ways to make social groups sacred units of critique. Bible translation, produced by members of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, is a crucial resource for these critical projects of religious formation. From early interaction with German Lutheran missionaries to engagements with the Summer Institute of Linguistics to the contemporary moment of conflict, Handman presents some of the many models of Christian sociality that are debated among Guhu-Samane Christians. Central to the study are Handman's rich analyses of the media through which this critical Christian sociality is practiced, including language, sound, bodily movement, and everyday objects. This original and thought-provoking book is essential reading for students and scholars of anthropology and religious studies.
