Over dit product
Product Information
Over the past century, Branson, Missouri, has attracted tens of millions of tourists. Nestled in the heart of the Ozark Mountains, it offers a rare and refreshing combination of natural beauty and family-friendly recreation -- from scenic lakes and rolling hills to theme parks and variety shows. It has boasted of big name celebrities, like Wayne Newton, Andy Williams, and Petula Clark, as well as family entertainers like Mickey Gilley, the Shanghai Magic Troupe, Jim Stafford, and Yakov Smirnoff. But there is more to Branson's fame than just recreation. As Aaron K. Ketchell discovers, a popular variant of Christianity underscores all Branson's tourist attractions and fortifies every consumer success. In this lively and engaging study, Ketchell explores Branson's unique blend of religion and recreation. He explains how the city became a mecca of conservative Christianity -- a place for a 'spiritual vacation' -- and how, through conscious effort, its residents and businesses continuously reinforce its inextricable connection with the divine. Ketchell combines the study of lived religion, popular culture, evangelicalism, and contemporary American history to present an accurate and honest account of a distinctly American phenomenon.

Reviews
"Holy Hills of the Ozarks provides the colorful story of how this tiny town on the Missouri-Arkansas border became host to the spectacular example of religious tourism (and tourism as religion)." -- Kathryn Lofton, Journal of Religion, "Punctuated with moments of humor... Ketchell's treatment is fair, including his description of organized religion's distaste for Branson's 'alternative worship opportunities'... well illustrated with reproductions of historical cards, photographs, and advertisements." -- Stanley M. Burgess, Religious Studies Review, Holy Hills of the Ozarks is a delightful case study of popular religious practice in America. It should find a broad audience. Ambitious in scope, Ketchell has written a thought provoking work., This is one of those books that seems to deal with a fairly minor topic but is in fact quite important... At a time when Jim Wallis and other observers have forecast the end of the prominence of right-wing-religion on the U.S. political stage, this book will cause many readers to question that prediction., As Ketchell brilliantly argues, Branson entrepreneurs wove Christian sentiment 'into a fabric of nostalgia, premodern longing, and whitewashed rusticity.', The vivid written descriptions as well as photographs, thorough historical documentation, and a keen eye for cultural landscape formation make this book an excellent piece for geographic education and a great starter for discussion of the essence of Missouri heritage., Thoroughly researched and carefully documented... includes a great deal of material that challenges basic assumptions in the scholarly study of religions. Ketchell confronts readers with the implications of a popular tourist destination founded on the values and sentiments of American evangelical Protestantism., Holy Hills of the Ozarks provides the colorful story of how this tiny town on the Missouri-Arkansas border became host to the spectacular example of religious tourism (and tourism as religion)., Punctuated with moments of humor... Ketchell's treatment is fair, including his description of organized religion's distaste for Branson's 'alternative worship opportunities'... well illustrated with reproductions of historical cards, photographs, and advertisements., A sophisticated interdisciplinary study... Ketchell squarely tackles this important and complex story with sensitivity and skill.

For the most part as described. Mailing - not packaged well and one side of the package was 2/3 open which may have resulted in some of the edge dirt on some pages.
