The Lonely Empire, Andrew Valencia
Theses and Dissertations
This creative manuscript contains ten original short stories dealing with themes of alienation, imperialism, and cultural intersectionality.

Megachurches are not a homogenous group, but they exist in all parts of the country and they have enough in common to warrant their identification as part of a coherent trend in American evangelical culture.
