  • Book cover of Televisual Shared Universes

    This book of empirical studies analyzes examples of televisual shared universes since the 1960s to understand how the nature of televised serial narratives and network corporate policies have long created shared storyworlds. While there has been much discussion about shared cinematic universes and comic book universes, the concept has had limited exploration in other media, such as those seen on the smaller screen. By applying convergence culture and other contemporary media studies concepts to television’s history, contributors demonstrate the common activities and practices in serial narratives that align older television with contemporary television, simultaneously bridging the gap between old media and new media studies. Scholars of film studies, media studies, and popular culture will find this book of particular interest.

    FaithBeyond the Mind: Serving Jesus with Mental Struggles In FaithBeyond the Mind, the author reminds us that mental struggles don't disqualify us from God's love or His calling. With a healthy dose of humor and a lot of biblical wisdom, this book explores how we can walk faithfully with Jesus-even on days when our minds feel like they're on a rollercoaster. Drawing on Scripture, the author guides readers through the emotional ups and downs, encouraging them to trust in God's sovereignty, even when our minds are in turmoil. Practical tips are woven throughout, from leaning on community (remember, "two are better than one," Ecclesiastes 4:9) to praying through the chaos (Philippians 4:6-7), offering a path forward in the midst of mental struggles. After all, as 2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us, "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'" So grab a cup of coffee (or tea) and join in-Jesus is right there with you, even on the tough days!
