Passionate Embrace: Faith; Flesh; Tango is a story of desire; intimacy; and transformation; set in the sumptuous world of Argentine Tango. Sandra Vander Schaaf shares the provocative tale of an unexpected love affair with the worlds most sensual dance; and an equally unexpected experience of spiritual renewal on the dance floor. This is a vivid; eloquent; honest glimpse of Christian faith and doubt and the exquisite relationship between body and soul. "Captivating; credible; totally without clicheacute;s." - Eugene Peterson; author of The Message and Telling It Slant "Vander Schaaf daringly compares learning to dance tango with learning to pray; each is a movement of faith. That this venture into physical intimacy was the means of grace that led her to greater spiritual intimacy with God is the refreshing surprise of this striking and moving account of renewal." - Luci Shaw; author of Breath for the Bones and Adventure of Ascent "I could not stop turning the pages. Sandra has taken a number of themes and addressed them with humour; integrity; a light touch; and the sure-footedness of a tango dancer. This is a story of the flesh made sacred; and the sacred made flesh. And; its set to music; tango music." - Nicola Aimeacute;; poet.

Black film history on the West Coast (and further) unfolds at a fascinating pace with some extraordinary talent; with films made by people just like you and I; but able to tell the stories of their people and their mindsets in creative fashions. Having seen my share of these films; the film geek in me loves the academic insight into this work. This is a must for any lover of film; especially of true indie film.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Essential reading.By Berenice R.Great book!
