Bøker av Adrian Peel

This book is intended for anyone who has questions about their life experience that are causing them inner dissatisfaction. Spiritual people sometimes face this because they cant make sense of apparent inconsistencies between what they expect from their faith and what they experience in the practical world. Secular people may face a similar type of inner dissatisfaction because external success fails to bring them the type of joy they expect. The writing method uses auto-ethnography a reflection on Adrians personal experience as he connects his story to wider understandings of the way life works. While his Christian worldview is central to the book, its emphasis is on the process. So, readers are encouraged to evaluate the process and models presented, but to insert your own life experience against them for the best benefit.

With opinions and personal testimonies from the artists themselves, this book takes a detailed look at the huge impact that Mexican music and culture has had--and continues to have--on Country music in its various forms. This very American form of cultural expression has changed over the last few years, but Mexico--with its bordertowns, beaches, colonial architecture and ancient ruins conjuring up a range of powerful images--has remained an influential presence in Nashville, Texas, and even places like Australia and South Africa. Featuring contributions from Merle Haggard, Jimmy Buffett, Randy Travis, Dwight Yoakam, Jessi Colter, Johnny Rodriguez and Flaco Jimenez, this book reveals the unique and largely undocumented relationship between ""America's Music"" and Mexico.
