Empowerment Ethics for a Liberated People
Author: Cheryl Jeanne Sanders
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 9781451405101
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Cheryl Sanders here sharpens the agenda of black liberation by offering both a fresh reading of historical black religion and a distinctive approach to Christian ethics. Arguing that the experience of oppression has been the catalyst for black moral life and thought, Sanders traces several paths or approaches that African American Christians have taken in moving from victimization to moral agency: testimony, protest, uplift, cooperation, achievement, remoralization, and ministry. Informative and engaging, earnest and constructive, Sanders's book envisions a new way of empowering people to take responsibility for their moral and spiritual development.

The Empowering God
Author: Edward Y. Suh
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725277050
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The Prosperity movement has been rightly challenged on biblical, theological, and pastoral grounds and has been found to be lacking. Yet, the movement continues to grow in popularity around the world, particularly amongst the poor. What deeper factors might account for this continued sociological appeal? In this unique study, the author draws on biblical and theological sources as well as research on human flourishing from psychological, sociological, economic, and anthropological perspectives to evaluate possible reasons for this phenomenon. Consequently, he finds that one unexplored reason for the lasting resonance of the Prosperity movement is its unexpected effectiveness in leading practitioners to overcome the trauma of victimization and disempowerment. This undercurrent of empowerment suggests that there are ways Prosperity theology can mature to preserve this dynamic whilst shedding its more questionable practices--thus potentially giving rise to an Evangelical expression of this movement centered around the themes of shalom and human flourishing. Thus, the constructive aspect of this book proposes an Evangelical theology of empowerment and abundance formed around a robust image of the Empowering God that accounts for abundance and lack, health and disability, and the normal ebbs and flows of life and death.

Publisher: Roger A Small
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
In Roger A. Small's thought-provoking book, "Prosperity Aligned: Embracing the Alkebulanist Path to Success, Abundance, and Collective Empowerment," a transformative journey awaits those who dare to delve into its pages. Small's work is not merely a book; it is a roadmap to prosperity, a guide to unlocking hidden potential, and a celebration of collective empowerment that resonates deeply with the Alkebulanist philosophy. Small's exploration of the Alkebulanist path to success is not only enlightening but also profoundly relevant in today's ever-changing world. By weaving together the wisdom of Alkebulanist principles with practical insights, he offers a compelling vision of how individuals and communities can thrive, not at the expense of others, but in harmony with the collective good. One of the book's most striking features is its emphasis on abundance. Small reminds us that prosperity is not a finite resource, and there is enough for everyone if we learn to align our actions with the principles of Alkebulanism. This perspective challenges the prevailing scarcity mindset and invites us to embrace a new paradigm where success is not a zero-sum game but a journey where one's achievements contribute to the prosperity of all. Small's eloquent prose and well-researched examples make a compelling case for adopting Alkebulanist principles in our lives. He demonstrates how this philosophy encourages a profound shift in our approach to success, where collaboration, community, and shared abundance are at the core. By highlighting real-world success stories, he provides a tangible and relatable roadmap for anyone seeking to follow the Alkebulanist path. Moreover, "Prosperity Aligned" goes beyond individual success and delves into the essence of collective empowerment. Small passionately argues that true prosperity lies in empowering not just oneself but also the entire community. He underscores the importance of unity, cooperation, and lifting each other up, dispelling the myth that success must come at the expense of others. Small's book also tackles issues of systemic inequality and injustice, shedding light on how the Alkebulanist philosophy can be a powerful tool for dismantling these barriers. His vision for a more equitable and harmonious society is inspiring, and it offers hope for those who seek positive change on a broader scale. In conclusion, "Prosperity Aligned: Embracing the Alkebulanist Path to Success, Abundance, and Collective Empowerment" by Roger A. Small is a must-read for anyone looking to chart a course towards personal and communal prosperity. Small's insightful exploration of Alkebulanist principles is a beacon of hope in a world that often feels divided and unequal. Through this book, he encourages us to embrace a path where success, abundance, and collective empowerment are not mere ideals but achievable realities within our grasp.

Empowerment as Ceremony
Author: William M. Epstein
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
ISBN: 1412851602
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
Many people in the United States are poor, lead marginal lives, and need jobs as well as basic services such as education, medical care, and housing. Multitudes in other parts of the world, in addition to being poor, are jailed, tortured, and killed for being members of the wrong ethnic group or expressing political opinions. Those who argue for empowerment claim it is a magic bullet. It can liberate the oppressed, largely through self-organization, self-motivation, self-invention, and even self-clarity. William M. Epstein sees contemporary empowerment practice in the United States as a civic church of national values, one better in performing its ceremonial role than god-based houses of worship. By itself, empowerment is not worth the effort of commentary, since it achieves none of its goals and has not even generated a respectable critical literature. But Epstein argues that empowerment practice and American social welfare both embody prescriptive cultural preferences. Like art and music, empowerment opens windows into deeper social meaning. The social sciences have carved out roles for themselves by looking for simple remedies, ones that are inexpensive and compatible with contemporary social arrangements. Epstein shows that those in social work practices have not only deluded themselves into thinking that these services have real instrumental value, but really operate at cross-purposes. This accessible work will attract critical attention among these professional groups. It bases its carefully-documented insights upon informed sociological and anthropological theory.
