This book critically examines the institutional curation of traumatic memory at the 9/11 Memorial Museum and its evocative power as a cultural storyteller. Memorial Museums are evocative spaces. Drawing on aesthetic practices deeply rooted in representing the ‘unrepresentability’ of cultural trauma, most notably the Holocaust, Memorial Museums are powerful, popular mediums for establishing cultural values, asking the visitor to contemplate "Who am I?" in relation to the difficult histories on display. Using primary data, this book poses important questions about the emotionally-charged site: what ‘moral lessons’ are visitors imparted with at the 9/11 Memorial Museum? Who is the cultural institution’s primary audience—the imagined community it reconstructs this traumatic history and safeguards its memories for? What does the National September 11 Memorial & Museum ultimately teach visitors about history, ourselves, and others? This work will be of interest to students and scholars in the areas of Human Geography, American Studies, Museum Studies and Public History, Cultural and Heritage Studies, and Trauma and Memory Studies.

Within the Christian faith, questions abound. Does God really exist? Can we know him personally? Can we experience his presence or is he untouchable? Author Richard A. Sodmont answers these questions and more in Kingdom Encounters. Part memoir and part spiritual treatise, this inspiring account shares Sodmonts supernatural experiences with God and how they irrevocably changed his relationship with the Lord. He describes his various encounters with angels, demons, and God himself, as well as his out-of-body experiences, visions into the spiritual realm, and moments where God spoke directly to him. But it is Sodmonts revelations following these encounters that reveal the true nature and character of God. Sodmont explains that God not only interacts with mankind to bring about his good purposes, but also holds an incredible love for the people he created. In addition, Sodmont shows that the spiritual world is indeed real and that there is a fierce battle waging between good and evil. The time to grow close to the Lord is now. Discover who God really is and what his kingdom is all about with Kingdom Encounters!
