Book Synopsis From Where I Stand by : Indarjit Singh
Download or read book From Where I Stand written by Indarjit Singh and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When two or more people find sufficient in common to call themselves ‘us’, they will strengthen their togetherness by looking for a ‘them’ to dislike. INDARJIT’S LAW It’s fashionable to talk of ‘hate crime’ as if a small minority of people are infected with a virus of hate against those they see as different. It is not like that. Prejudice and fear of difference affects us all. I learnt about my Sikh religion almost as an outsider looking in to find surprising teachings on justice, compassion and a need to stand up for others. Discrimination in employment in the ’60s, normal and lawful at the time, led to my turning down a well-paid job to go to India, where writing under the pen name of Victor Pendry, I became a local hero to the Sikh community suffering majority persecution. This standing up to injustice through writing, speaking and importantly, humour, is the story of this book. You cannot choose your battlefield God does that for you But you can plant a standard Where a standard never flew. NATHALIA CRANE

Download or read book All the Kings Houses written by L.E. Hastings and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has a story to tell, everyone. With author L. E. Hastings, writing has become one of his greatest tools to date on going through life’s many ups and downs and how he, how we, soothe the wounds and the joys on this road of healing. Here once again he has opened the door to his world and let us, the readers, take a few glimpses into his mind and life, where stories of faith, love, and loss begin the healing through trust, prayer, and hope with his new publication, All the Kings Houses. Writing down his thoughts has helped him cope with the thorns and with the joys of life. It has also been his way to pass on the message of healing and living to others. From the insightful stories like “Prayers” to “Ruled by More” to “In the Great and Endless” and in the heartfelt stories of “My Mothers Pen” and “Walking Stick,” each reader will embark on a journey in understanding one another in life. They will identify how they live, love, and accept all the things they can face, be it the many obstacles in their path, the sturdy mountains they need to climb, or the countless rivers they need to cross. All the kings’ people are given the chance to live in the most meaningful way, and they alone hold the key to do so. They may be hurting with the wounds today, they may bleed and be left with a scar, but it will fade in time. We are all kings’ people, and what’s important today is that we don’t let our spirit break. All the Kings Houses will definitely wind its way into the readers’ hearts and pass them the message of hope and encouragement and even some laughter. It may not stop their pain right away, but it will help them heal eventually and make them believe that they are not alone in their struggles today.

Book Synopsis Paddling to Where I Stand by : Martine J. Reid
Download or read book Paddling to Where I Stand written by Martine J. Reid and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first-ever biography written about a woman of the Northwest Coast's Kwakwakawakw people, Paddling to Where I Stand presents the memoirs of Agnes Alfred (c.1890-1992), a non-literate noble Qwiqwasutinuxw woman of the Kwakwakawakw Nation and one of the last great storytellers among her peers in the classic oral tradition. Agnes Alfred documents through myths, historical accounts, and personal reminiscences the foundations and the enduring pulse of her living culture. But this is more than another anthropological interpretation; it is the first-hand account of the greatest period of change the Kwakwaka’wakw people experienced since first contact with Europeans, and Alfred’s memoirs flow from her urgent desire to pass on her knowledge to younger generations.

Trapped in a world of darkness and rain, she fears she’ll never see another living soul again. Until she meets Zach. He may be the balm for her heart she’s been searching for, but fulfilling her wish comes with a price. Is she willing to pay it? Cold, Oh So Cold Hearts of men as frozen as the kingdoms they live in.

She's all for a little bullying, at least when she's dishing it out to the kids back home. But these munchkins go too far when they force her into the Witch's silver shoes and parade her down the yellow brick road like cattle to be judged by the Wizard of Oz. Bound Every book has a heartbeat. And some are louder than others. Leda loves her job as a college librarian – books are her friends, ones that take her to far off lands and who don't cheat on her like her last boyfriend did. But a strange incident with a student has her wondering if there's something more sinister about the books in this library. Of course, Leda can't confide in anyone about her suspicions – they’d think she's crazy. Is she crazy? Or does danger lurk in between the pages?
Download or read book A Peculiar Glory written by John Piper and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What books and words make up the Christian Scriptures? What do the Scriptures claim for themselves? How can we know the Scriptures are true? How are the Scriptures confirmed by the peculiar glory of God? John Piper examines the Bible’s self-authenticating nature and unique ability to showcase God’s unmatched glory, laying a solid foundation for the belief that God’s Word is absolutely perfect and totally reliable. Says the author, ‘I do not merely hold a view of Scripture. I am held. The glory of God shining through his Word has been an irresistible treasure.’ The Bible is not a masterpiece hanging on the wall of an Alpine chalet. Rather, it is a window on the wall through which we see and admire the stunning Alpine view.
Book Synopsis Voice of an Exile by : Nasr Abu Zaid
Download or read book Voice of an Exile written by Nasr Abu Zaid and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-03-30 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1995 Ayman al-Zawahiri, a prominent terrorist figure recently associated with Al Queda and al-Jihad, issued a bounty against Dr. Nasr Abu Zaid, a respected Islamic scholar at Cairo University. What was Zaid's offense? Arguing that Islam's holy texts should be interpreted in the historical and linguistic context of their time, and that new interpretations should account for social change. His controversial claim that the Qur'an be interpreted metaphorically rather than literally further enraged fundamentalists. Labeled an apostate by the Cairo court of appeals, his life was threatened and he was forced to flee to the Netherlands with his wife. A professor of Arabic and Islamic studies at Leiden University in his adopted country, this progressive Islamic scholar insists that change is still possible and that new understandings of Islam can be accepted and advanced. Forgoing claims that Islam is a violent religion, Zaid shows us that, above all, justice and obedience lies at the heart of the Qur'an. At the outset of this book, we find Zaid growing up in Quhafa, a village in northern Egypt. Islam gives meaning and definition to his life. As he matures, we see him sorting through Egypt's various political developments and upheavals. Zaid carefully weaves such developments into the events of his own life—his father's death, raising his younger siblings, attending Cairo University, his study abroad, his marriages, the events leading to his exile, and his visit to Egypt after a seven-year absence. Through it all, we see him advancing in his academic career and applying new skills to his study and interpretation of the Qur'an. He wrestles with subjects such as polygamy, wife beating, inheritance, and the practice of usury in Islamic cultures. He asserts and illustrates that Islam must be separate from the State in order to protect the religion from political manipulation. Zaid's personal story and academic pursuits, reflecting the social reality of the broader culture, offer new perspectives on Islam and provide hope to Muslims who feel their religion has been misrepresented and misunderstood.

Book excerpt: As women, we are exhausted. Our hearts are being wrung out to dry--squeezed and yanked in every direction. We take care of everyone but ourselves.

This book is for anyone who longs for a connection with God and his people but can't seem to escape the haunting feelings of guilt, shame, loneliness, and fear. Through raw, authentic stories, (in)courage writer Anjuli Paschall invites you to stop running from your pain and to recognize that the deep end of your story is the way to intimacy with Christ. Alongside Anjuli, you will encounter a loving God who invites you to stay with him at the table of your soul, where you are free to spill the milk, to fumble through your words, to embrace the awkwardness and the joy, and to taste and see that he is good.

Download or read book Immortal US written by Robert Broome, Jr. and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private Michael Davidson, USMC, spoke about his family’s history while we were serving together aboard the USS Portland on a NATO exercise in the north seas. He recounted the military heroes in his family, from the Prussian War in Austria in the 1870s through both world wars. But the story ends when Private Davidson was killed in 1982 in the U.S. Marine Corps barracks bombing in Beirut. Immortal US tells the story of Davidson’s family roots, beginning with his Jewish great-great grandfather immigrating to America from Austria in 1875 with his mother, and making a living as a juvenile on the streets of New York after his mother died of tuberculosis. He lived in a world of gangsters, prostitutes, and violence, even serving time in jail. Later, he started a successful hotel and raised a family that would serve heroically in the American military. Michael’s great grandfather’s eldest son was buried in France after falling as a U.S. Marine in Belleau Woods, France. His Uncle Michael fought as a USMC captain during World War II, dying in the German Reichstag while pushing to take Berlin in 1945. His aunt, Lieutenant Anna Davidson, was betrayed by a double agent as a British/American spy and was shot while trying to evade capture. This book is about a classic American family, not famous, but one that gave everything for the American dream.
