Jamie Barnes considers three main elements: firstly, the role that sensory aspects of experience play in constituting one's lived world and one's ideas about the kinds of beings inhabiting it; secondly, how stories and metaphors are tactically employed, not only in the process of expressing aspects of past experience, but also in shaping and forming both desired worlds and future pathways; thirdly, how such sensed, narrated and lived worlds are tentatively held together - in hope, trust and love - through charismatic relationships of devotion with a divine Other. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unusual and innovative ethnography offers a unique and reflexive view \u003ci\u003efrom\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ewithin\u003c\/i\u003e the world of Christian experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jamie Barnes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113831529X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138315297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Jamie Barnes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136513978623,"sku":"9781138315297","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ff111f2-79dc-4bbb-944a-fdf127264719.jpg?v=1770163160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stories-senses-and-the-charismatic-jamie-barnes-9781138315297","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
