Book Synopsis The Cherry Tree Weeps for Me by : James Mikel Wilson
Download or read book The Cherry Tree Weeps for Me written by James Mikel Wilson and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cherry Tree Weeps for Me: A Quest for The Dawn of Peace chronicles one man’s lifelong pursuit of peace before and after the Pacific War. Takashi Komatsu’s incredible story is told alongside Japan’s pre- and post-WWII history and the country’s remarkable rebirth as a vibrant democratic global economic powerhouse. Komatsu’s journey—from an unsettled youth, to the refuge of New York City’s YMCA as a new immigrant, to the delivery of Harvard’s 1911 commencement address—proves that real life can be stranger than fiction. The Cherry Tree Weeps for Me traces Komatsu's extraordinary life as he rose to the head of a large shipping company in Japan, befriended the heir to the last shogunate and the US Ambassador, and became a respected international businessman and statesman. Risking incarceration and assassination, Komatsu made choices that defied military rulers and right-wing extremists as they edged Japan toward war and devoured a democracy. Within days of the war’s end, inconceivable events led General MacArthur, the Supreme Commander of the Occupation Forces, to seek Komatsu's aid to help rebuild Japan and restore amity with the United States. Repairing friendship between the two countries was complex and daunting. Komatsu went far beyond forging relationships with US presidents, ambassadors, scholars, philanthropists, and leaders in the public and private sectors of both Japan and the United States. His legacy is a powerful reminder of the importance of tenacity, empathy, and understanding in international affairs. If you enjoy books like Malcolm Gladwell’s The Bomber Mafia, you’ll love The Cherry Tree Weeps for Me. Find out what transpired after the devastation and one man’s unsung influence that restored a stolen democracy. Book Review 1: “Wilson takes us on a wonderful deep dive into Takashi Komatsu's incredible life and dedication to peace and friendship between the US and Japan. In the years following the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty, Komatsu played a pivotal role in fostering cultural exchange and understanding between the US and Japan, including his work with John D. Rockefeller III to bring the Shofuso House to life (First exhibited at MoMA in New York City and now permanently displayed in Philadelphia).” -- Alan Wilkis Artist (Big Data), Music Producer, and Composer for Film and TV Book Review 2: "With the skill of a seasoned storyteller, Wilson paints a vivid portrait of a man who straddled two worlds; from Takashi Komatsu's beginnings as a twelve-year-old boy venturing overseas to seek his destiny, to his pivotal role in shaping Japanese-American relations in the wake of World War II." -- Monte Francis Multiple Emmy Award-winning journalist and news presenter, France 24; Author of Ice and Bone and By Their Father’s Hand Book Review 3: “Wilson tells the story not only of the unsung hero, Takashi Komatsu, who was educated at my alma mater, but of the history of the relationship between Japan and the United States. He ties together these threads and alerts us to the incredible coincidences. These included living next door to a curious younger boy in Monmouth, Illinois, who would later become responsible for one-half of the US occupation of Japan and, by happenstance, cross paths with Komatsu in Tokyo after 35 years of separation. They would collaborate to begin reconstruction, and their sons would become Monmouth College classmates after the war.” -- Dan Cotter Member of the Board of Trustees of Monmouth College. 2024-25 President of the National Board of Bar Presidents. Author “The Chief Justices – The Seventeen Men of the Center Seat, Their Courts, and Their Times.” Book Review 4: “Unearthing the obscure life of an unsung hero, Wilson’s newest book masterfully unravels how Komatsu emerges as a catalyst for unity and prosperity in post-WWII Japan. It provokes introspection on the age-old quandary of ‘what next’ after conflict termination. Perhaps Wilson employs Komatsu’s character and actions to inspire Americans during this time of extreme political divisiveness and mistrust. Will we forsake revenge and retribution by uniting to fortify peace, democracy, and prosperity? If so, who will emerge as our Komatsu?" -- Colonel Kay A. Smith Colonel, USAF (Retired) Book Review 5: "Wilson’s new book helps readers understand how Takashi Komatsu was influenced by his mentors in the US and Japan. These influences played a major role in his ability to form alliances and work as a catalyst to building the Japanese economy and the strong economic ties between Japan and the US." -- Gary Randazzo Sr. Lecturer, C.T. Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston; Former EVP and General Manager, San Francisco Chronicle and Senior Vice President Houston Chronicle Book Review 6: “When conflicts end, like the current Russian-Ukrainian War, who will be the artists of peace to bring warring partners past the residual anger to cooperation and perhaps friendship? Komatsu was such a man, and his impact seems incomprehensible.” -- Dr. Stan S. Katz Former San Diego World Affairs Council Board Member. Author “The Art of Diplomacy.” Book Review 7: “I was blown away by the volume of Wilson’s research on Japan's geopolitical history and the details of Takashi Komatsu’s life—particularly how they intersected with important global events. Komatsu’s influence on the early years of Japan’s post-WWII recovery and renewed friendship with the US is still felt today, as evidenced by their strong strategic and economic alliances. Wilson’s book illustrates that real life can be as captivating as fiction.” -- Jeff Rankin Retired Editor and Historian, Monmouth College
Download or read book The Story of Joseph written by and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of this volume is the translation of a fourteenth-century Turkish version of the Joseph story, better known to Western readers from the version in Genesis, first book of the Hebrew Bible. Hickman provides us with a new lens: we see the drama of the Old Testament prophet Joseph, son of Jacob, through Muslim eyes. The poem’s author, Sheyyad Hamza, lived in Anatolia during the early days of the Ottoman Empire. Hamza’s composition is rooted in the recondite and little-studied tradition of oral performance—a unique corner of Turkish verbal arts, situated between minstrelsy and the "divan" tradition—combining the roles of preacher and storyteller. A cultural document as well as a literary text that reflects the prevailing values of the time, Hamza’s play reveals a picture of Ottoman sensibility, both aesthetic and religious, at the level of popular culture in premodern Turkey. To supplement and contextualize the story, Hickman includes an introduction, a historical-literary afterword, and notes to the translation, all ably assisting an unfamiliar reader’s entry into this world.

Book Synopsis The Church That Is Left Behind by : Kobus Swart
Download or read book The Church That Is Left Behind written by Kobus Swart and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant pillar of twentieth century dispensationalism, is the postponement doctrine of the kingdom of God. This indiscriminate futurism has caused great damage and robbed the gospel of its power in the lives of believers for years. John the Baptist and Jesus both clearly identified the kingdom with the era of the Holy Spirit. At no time anywhere in Scripture, was the coming of the kingdom made conditional on a Jewish response or event. What more effective strategy could the enemy use than to have Christians believe they should be in passive waiting mode? Has our failure to proclaim a full and accurate gospel of the kingdom, left nations untouched, still plagued by disease, famine and corruption, despite decades of "evangelism"? An eschatology of victory awaits a victorious church, that engages with the Holy Spirit in this present apostolic season. Creation has been waiting in eager expectation for the manifestation of the sons of God. What are the sons waiting for? Are you ready to respond? In this book Kobus Swart resolutely confronts the erroneous doctrinal stronghold of eschatology. For centuries the church has been imprisoned and restrained in fulfilling its governmental mandate because of inaccurate interpretations of the end times. This is an invaluable resource in identifying and unveiling deceptive eschatological ideologies and presenting a more accurate understanding of the end of the age. Thamo Naidoo, River of Life Ministries, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. Kobus Swart has been in full time ministry since 1974, and is the founder of the Bizweni Community Church in Somerset West, near Cape Town, South Africa, where he and his family live. From this apostolic resource base he leads a ministry team serving believers both locally and in other nations.

Book Synopsis From Our Springtime by : Reuben Iceland
Download or read book From Our Springtime written by Reuben Iceland and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In New York in 1907, a group of avant-garde Yiddish poets came together to transform Yiddish literature. Seeking a pure artistic expression, they would rid Yiddish poetry of foreign influences and overbearing political and religious rhetoric. Although influenced by their Eastern European heritage, these poets were uniquely American in their focus on exploring the individual. Calling themselves Di Yunge (The young ones), this group was led in part by Reuben Iceland. From Our Springtime is Iceland’s memoir as well as a reflection on the lives of the Di Yunge poets. With its vivid characters, beautifully crafted descriptions, and snippets of poetry, this book is a work of art in its own right and an essential resource for anyone interested in Yiddish American poetry. Translated into English for the first time, From Our Springtime brings this period in New York literary history to life and tells the story of how these poets transformed Yiddish poetry from an expression of working-class struggles to a form of Yiddish high art.
