What do our clothes say about who we are or who we think we are? How does the way we dress communicate messages about our identity? Is the desire to be "in fashion" universal, or is it unique to Western culture? How do fashions change? These are just a few of the intriguing questions Fred Davis sets out to answer in this provocative look at what we do with our clothes—and what they can do to us.Much of what we assume to be individual preference, Davis shows, really reflects deeper ...

WHERE IS GOD WHEN THE WORST HAPPENS?When a yellow school bus rolled into Fred Davis, pinned him against another car and dragged him forty feet through gravel, he sustained multiple life-threatening injuries. His spinal cord damage prompted a neurosurgeon to predict years of hospitalization and painful rehabilitation. The athletic 46-year-old Presbyterian minister was stunned to overhear, "He may never walk again." Fred's faith was put to the test as his carefully mapped out future ...

Based on a study of fourteen families in which a child had contracted paralytic poliomyelitis. Passage Through Crisis: Polio Victims and Their Families, first published in 1963, was widely praised for its penetrating--and, for its time, innovative--analyses of doctor-patient communications, and for its interpreta-tion of the meaning of physical disability in American society. In his new opening essay, Davis reflects on the enduring sources of this profound problem in human relations as wel...

Pubblicato nel 1979, Sociologia della Nostalgia si allontana dalle tradizionali analisi mediche che avevano occupato il campo negli ultimi duecento anni per configurarsi come il primo studio di sociologia delle emozioni nei confronti di un sentimento che svolge precipue funzioni individuali e collettive. Pubblicato per la prima volta in lingua italiana, questo lavoro dimostra come l'interesse sociologico per la nostalgia sia giustificato dal ruolo centrale di quest'ultima nella formazione ...

This book was an idea to help kids see that Jesus Christ laid down His life, and he came as a mere man and the Lamb of God and is also known as the Lion of Judah. So my thought was that Jesus has all the same powers as God and portrayed Himself as that defenseless lamb when in actuality, He had all the powers of God inside a man. He had to be a lamb. But I wanted to illustrate that He also was God inside that lamb and could change anytime into God, the Super Lion.

The world lives like this life will go on forever and thinks they'll never die or stand in judgment before God. This world is living just like they were in Noah's days, seeing nothing wrong with living in sin, but Fred Davis wants to ask everyone. Where do we draw the line? On sin, and on living right, and on how the Bible teaches how we are supposed to be living. Especially in the last days and JUST before Jesus Christ returns for his people that are supposed to be watching and praying! N...

I saw two different news broadcasts on a CEO getting a microchip in his hand. And then the employees were next. The phrase they used on the local news at 6:00 was, the C.E.O is leading the way. "They are starting today at the top of this company starting with the C.E.O, of the company, leading the way" The blind leading the blind. I say, well, I know my Bible, and it says to let them take off your head before receiving the mark 666 in your hand. And don't let any man deceive you by any mea...
