Having slept with a prostitute in Egypt, Gustave Flaubert begins his first novel, "Madame Bovary," which influences the minor French novelist Edouard Dujardin, whose novel is read by James Joyce, whose own novel "Ulysses "will move the Italian novelist Italo Sveno, and later Gertrude Stein, in radical ways. This carousel of influence shows how we devour novels in translation, while often believing that style does not translate. But the history of the novel is the history of style. "The Delighted States "attempts to solve this conundrum while mapping an imaginary country, a country of readers: "The Delighted States." As a companion, this book comes with a new translation into English of Vladimir Nabokov's "Mademoiselle O."

What would youth ministry look like if it were based on a pursuit of authentic Christian joy?
Joy is not often a word young people associate with church--but it should be. By reimagining three common practices in youth ministry through the theological lens of joy, veteran youth workers Kenda Creasy Dean, Wesley Ellis, Justin Forbes, and Abigail Visco Rusert demonstrate how to shift this association and become more honest about what youth ministry can, and can't, do to support young people and their faith. Grounding youth ministry in joy rather than in fear also models a way forward for the church. It reminds us that youth ministry is not a tool for anxious congregations to use to ensure their survival. Rather, youth ministry--like all ministry--is a way to help people name and experience God's delight, free from fear and anxiety about their futures.
Delighted is the first book to emerge from the Yale Center for Faith and Culture's Adolescent Faith and Flourishing project, offering a sustained reflection on joy's practical importance for youth ministry. With reflection questions offered at the end of each chapter, Delighted is easy for youth ministers, volunteers, and pastors to pick up and use immediately--tapping into young people's instinctive desire for joy for the entire church, as well as for ministry with teenagers.

I never once thought about this until someone asked me if my writings were prose or poetry. Well, I believe them to be a little of each, a novelty if you will. After all, everyone is different. A few are soundly different, meaning they carry my own thoughts, feelings, past actual events, and all the while, are dotted with my psychological expressions.
While serving in the military, I wrote Alexandria, The Tradition's Enemy and Symbols, among others. I've never been bound by any one ideological view, as you, the reader, will surely notice. I feel my little book (A Delighted Bat) will be a different read. It's like a jigsaw puzzle once you think a piece is missing, you find it.
