1.Saving Paradise: How Christianity Traded Love of This World for Crucifixion and Empire by: Rita Nakashima Brock, Rebecca Ann Parker July 15, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $34.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $23.07 You Save: $11.88 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $20.65
This book proves that ten thousand words can't make a picture. I was captivated by the central thought, then perplexed when it got lost in ramblings and even outdated feminist rhetoric. Some of the tidbits are interesting, however. I only recommend this book to readers who have sufficient time and willpower to dig through the chaff. I did. Nothing inspirational, though.

2.Proverbs of Ashes : Violence, Redemptive Suffering, and the Search for What Saves Us by: Rita Nakashima Brock, Rebecca Ann Parker November 18, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $18.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $12.24 You Save: $5.76 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $1.57
"Proverbs Of Ashes" starts out as a very promising attempt to formulate an alternative to the traditional "God-whacked-Jesus-instead-of-you" understanding of the Christian doctrine of vicarious substitutionary atonement. Furthermore, to its credit, Brock and Parker make it very clear up front that this task is not motivated only, or even primarily, by considerations of abstract, scholarly, academic rigor, but springs from the vital depths of their experience of that doctrine as underwriting the various forms of abuse, sexual, emotional, and gender-based, that they have experienced. So far, so good. But a third or half way through the book, they seem to lose their way and, from that point on, the book becomes a repetitive catalog of stories of abuse: abuse by parents, abuse by spouses, even child abuse ...

4.Casting Stones: Prostitution And Liberation In Asia And The United States by: Rita Nakashima Brock, Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite September 23, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $28.00 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $2.54
Politics, sex, global economics, religion: sounds like a pot-boiling fiction best seller. But, while there are many harrowing scenes and both despicable and heroic characters, there's precious little "romance" in this study of prostitution and the international sex trade in Asia (Korea, Japan, Philippines, Thailand and Taiwan) and the United States. As the authors quote one prostitute, "It kind of kills you, but it's over fast." And yet, one Thai military officer, suspected of being more than a customer, took offence at the authors' use of the term "sex industry"! The authors, both Christian feminists, interviewed hundreds of prostitutes and those who would provide them refuge on both sides of the Pacific, and their analysis owes much to Liberation Theology, particularly Korean minjung theology. ...

5.Journeys By Heart: A Christology of Erotic Power by: Rita Nakashima Brock January 25, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.76
This is a very powerful book. It is extraordinarily dense, but the going gets easier as you keep reading, so stick with it. The final few chapters are a tour de force. Brock's central thesis involves the claim that we have projected the mental constructs of abused children onto our conception of God and Jesus, but that understood correctly, Christianity can still offer a compelling story of the power of solidarity and faith. I think her book is the only one which salvages anything from Christianity for me at all, and what it salvages is beautiful and deep.
