Experts survey the new media landscape and explore specific ways in which Christians can expand their ministry effectiveness and advance their worldview with discernment and grace. A Pew Study reports that only 2% of America’s twelve million bloggers claim “religion, spirituality or faith” as their main topic. This leaves a great mission field in cyberspace, say contributors to The New Media Frontier , because the latest ...

Bison Books, 2006

A sports book for intellectuals
Remote is an intelligent exploration of the deeper meanings of basketball. David Shields follows the Seattle Sonics during the '94-'95 season, commenting not only on the dynamics of play but also on issues of race and our need for the other, for transcendence from our lives through sports fandom. So compelling is Shield's case for an intellectual take on basketball that I, a nonsportsfan type, ...

Sandra Shields

Arsenal Pulp Press, 2003

On the wild river that divides Namibia from Angola, members of the Himba tribe herd cattle as they have done for hundreds of years. But the world of the Himba sits in the shadow of third-world development and the inevitability of change that threatens their way of life; now, they are more likely to attend evangelical church services, congregate around the liquor trader's truck, and pose for tourists' photographs. Sandra Shields and David ...

David S. Shields

The University of North Carolina Press, 1997

On the creation of "civility"
David Shields' Civil Tongues and Polite Letters traces the development of the concept of civility as evidenced by the formation of social rites and their corresponding literatures in British America. Shields argues that just as Americans developed their political and legal traditions to accord with traditional British values, they also defined their concept of civility and genteel culture from ...

The Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead

77 reviews
David Shields

Knopf, 2008

I enjoyed this book, but found it more to be a memoir of the author's life.
The author's obsession with death is revealed throughout the book. The interesting question is: `Do atheists and theists view death in the same light?' If you read books by saints or religious people, you'll find that indeed they welcome death. Death to them is not an end but a beginning. At death, we are reunited with our loved ones. The world of the dead is another world where we are as much ...

Enough About You: Adventures in Autobiography

David Shields

Simon & Schuster, 2002

Give Yourself a Chance
I never suspected that David Shields Enough About You, Adventures in Autobiography would be able to take me to the introspective and invigorated terrain I found myself wandering by the time I had reached its close. Anyone who doubts that autobiographical work has the ability to deliver the proverbial "literary goods", or who has mistakenly identified as the exclusive domain of "great fiction" ...

the blackbird whistling
I received this book from an old friend who I hadn't seen in nearly twenty years--she showed up unannounced, spent a few hours sitting in the sun, and then disappeared just as unexpectedly. I still don't know if she meant to leave the book behind, but I've decided that I won't give it up. Cornell's boxes have a strange beauty that seems to attract strange birds--deceptively simple, at first you ...

Body Politic: The Great American Sports Machine

2 reviews
David Shields

Simon & Schuster, 2004

GREAT BOOK! I highly recommend this.
I really enjoyed this book. I must admit that I'm a little too drawn out with the topic of sports. Yet while reading this novel I was just re-immersed with feelings of high school/ middle school days when I was in sports. This novel is just THAT good. The context is compelling. The writing is even far more impressive than what I had anticipated. Overall, this was a really great book.

This anthology of commissioned writing on subjects as wide-ranging as rock and roll lyrics, movies, science, pornography, curiosity cabinets, jazz and magic offers rich insights into a vast spectrum of ideas. The classic essay form--postulation, argument, exegesis, conclusion--ain't what it used to be. Lately it's too often referred to as what

Remote

David Shields

Knopf, 1996

David Shields' Remote; a memoir of media separateness
In "Remote", David Shields tells his own story through the printed and recorded parts of America. One of Shields' central themes is the difference between life and virtual-life: major events in his memory are linked directly to some form of media. His story is based on "almost fame," or as a frequent title explains, "the nimbus of her fame makes a nullity of us all." The idea of media ...
