This book is the first to describe in detail a community of potters working for the Jagannatha Temple in Puri, and to explore how the role of temple servant affects the potters' understanding of their work and of themselves. As a pilgrimage centre of national importance, supported by the patronage of successive regional dynasties and by fervent popular belief, the Jagannatha Temple requires earthenware in great quantities for the creation and distribution of the sacred food that is an integral feature of daily ritual and pilgrimage. Three hundred potters participate as temple servants in maintaining the temple's ritual cycle by performing their divinely assigned task. This study, conducted in 1979-1981, observes the potters' technical prowess, sustained by devotion, but also examines the tensions within their relationships to more powerful temple servants and authorities. The role of the potter as temple servant is at once glorious, as demonstrated by texts and personal interpretations of the potters' divinely-appointed service, and pathetic, as shown in the brutality of caste-based hierarchy and cash-based exchange penetrating the modern temple's daily operations.

At an early age, kids are asked the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" In some instances, we find ourselves reverting back to that same question when we reach adulthood. When we are adults, the answer to that all time favorite question, is even more complicated. With the stresses and frustrations that life presents, we struggle to find a happy medium. We search to find the answers to much deeper questions like, What makes you happy? What is your mission in life? What is your Purpose?" Why Do I Exist gives a candid depiction of the burning questions people wrestle with on a daily basis. Shannon Jones uses her life story to show readers the step by step plan she used to fulfill her purpose. Jones reveals to readers some of her real-life struggles with job rejection and her emptiness of not knowing her purpose, in this unscripted quest to discover her true-self. She recounts internal conflicts such as lack of self confidence and reveals the tools necessary to overcome these obstacles. Jones vividly escorts readers through the trials and tribulations of life that she encountered, which ultimately leads to her discovering her pre-destined PURPOSE.

Jones analyzes the conversion stories told by proselytizing female missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She emphasizes the positive aspects of missionary stories told by females, who-unlike male missionaries-aren't required to go on missions. She believes that the positive emphasis prevalent in female missionary stories exists because the women telling the stories don't want to reveal the negative aspects of a mission and discourage women from becoming missionaries in the future. Jones concludes by identifying a pattern that is similar in all of her collected conversion stories: a willingness to listen to the tenets of another faith, a conflict with one of the doctrines of that new faith, and then a subsequent triumph over doubt or decreasing interest in the faith because of that doubt.
