Follow God through every twist and turn! Sudden sadness, confusing fear, surprising joy. Kids’ lives are full of the unexpected. This devotional reminds kids that they aren’t alone in all the twists and turns life brings. Through these one hundred short devotions, readers will travel the winding roads of the apostle Peter’s life and ministry. They will hear stories of kids who, like them, are navigating questions about the Bible, sibling relationships, friendships, and more. Games, activities, and prayer prompts also encourage readers to take charge of their personal relationship with God. Peter had to learn that Jesus was with him always, and this devotional will help kids do the same as they learn to trust God through every twist and turn.

Plot Twists and Critical Turns: Queer Approaches to Early Modern Spanish Theater offers readings of a variety of works of seventeenth-century Spanish theater from perspectives grounded in queer studies, and demonstrates that these plays, even given the limitations imposed by censorship, public taste, and their own conventional precepts, are shot through with gaps that allow one to perceive at least the outlines of an absent queer object if not overt examples of manifest challenges to gender conformity.

"Twists and Turns in the Heart's Antarctic is a compelling new volume in Hélène Cixous's search for lost time. Readers of earlier volumes-- Hemlock and Hyperdream, among others-- will reconnect with familiar characters: Eve, the elderly mother now in her hundredth year, Hélène, the daughter, who never expected to become a mother at 70, and the brother, childhood companion and rival. She has almost no time to write. ... Twists and Turns, like all Cixous's books, is a many-faceted text, whose narrative spins its webs in corners familiar to Cixous readers: corners with books and writers - Montaigne, Proust, Kafka, Derrida; a theater and plays; friendship, and love. It is a tale on the scale of Greek myth, about the inescapable entanglements of family relationships, that can lead one, in hyperbolic mode, to envision murder and suicide ... This is a tale with profoundly touching reversals."--Front book cover flap.
