Staplebound. Condizione: Good +. Staplebound. A publication of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, this 1980s "tabloid for teens" shares stories of people who live in two cities at opposite ends of the United States: Washington, D. C. and San Diego to show young people "some urban areas where God is at work.For in the midst of confusion and darkness and fear, God places his own special bows of light.We've called it NEON RAINBOWS." With sections devoted to these two major American cities, "Neon Rainbows" explores each city's racial, class, and financial demographics, from the the large white and wealthy commuter population compared to the majority Black but disenfranchised population of D. C. to San Diego's influx of South and East Asian residents and high U.S. Navy population and the high cost of housing (as well as the up-hill battle of the Word against "skepticism, materialism--and bikinis." Interviews with marginalized voices, such as immigrants, refugees, Hispanic, Filipino, and Chinese Christians, welfare recipients, and how the church has served them also feature broadly. The centerfold includes a crossword, quiz, and matching game. The publication is illustrated throughout in large color photographs by Elaine S. Furrow as well as color illustrated vignettes by Marty Bibee.
