Book Description
A brilliant, genre-defying work—both memoir and epic poem—about the struggle for wisdom, grace, and ritual in the face of unspeakable loss “A bruised and brave love letter from a brother right here to a brother now gone . . . a soaring, unblinking gaze into the meaning of life itself.”—Marlon James, author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf my father said david has taken his own life Adam is in the middle of his own busy life, and approaching a career high in the form of a #1 New York Times bestselling book—when these words from his father open a chasm beneath his feet. I Had a Brother Once is the story of everything that comes after. In the shadow of David’s inexplicable death, Adam is forced to re-remember a brother he thought he knew and to reckon with a ghost, confronting his unsettled family history, his distant relationship with tradition and faith, and his desperate need to understand an event that always slides just out of his grasp. This is an expansive and deeply thoughtful poetic meditation on loss and a raw, darkly funny, human story of trying to create a ritual—of remembrance, mourning, forgiveness, and acceptance—where once there was a life.

Book Description
In The Last Brother by Nathacha Appanah, 1944 is coming to a close and nine-year-old Raj is unaware of the war devastating the rest of the world. He lives in Mauritius, a remote island in the Indian Ocean, where survival is a daily struggle for his family. When a brutal beating lands Raj in the hospital of the prison camp where his father is a guard, he meets a mysterious boy his own age. David is a refugee, one of a group of Jewish exiles whose harrowing journey took them from Nazi occupied Europe to Palestine, where they were refused entry and sent on to indefinite detainment in Mauritius. A massive storm on the island leads to a breach of security at the camp, and David escapes, with Raj's help. After a few days spent hiding from Raj's cruel father, the two young boys flee into the forest. Danger, hunger, and malaria turn what at first seems like an adventure to Raj into an increasingly desperate mission. This unforgettable and deeply moving novel sheds light on a fascinating and unexplored corner of World War II history, and establishes Nathacha Appanah as a significant international voice.

Brother Swaggart, Here Is My Question
Author: Jimmy Swaggart
Publisher: Jimmy Swaggart Ministries
ISBN: 1934655465
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Over a period of time, many, many questions concerning the Bible come into our office. We take each one of them seriously. In developing this book, as it regards questions and answers, we have done our best to answer those questions most often asked. We have gone into some detail, which hopefully will provide the answers desired, and all according to the Word of God. Of course, our selections most definitely have not covered all that we would like to address. Perhaps in the near future a second volume will be necessary. Prayerfully, the answers given will open up the Word of God as it regards the subject matter at hand. Here are samples of some of the questions: • Who is Satan and where do demon spirits come from? • What is Blaspheming the Holy Spirit? • What is the difference between The Great White Throne Judgment and The Judgment Seat of Christ? • What should be the Christian’s position in respect to alcohol? • Are homosexuals born that way?

Brother Swaggart, Here Is My Question about the Holy Spirit
Author: Jimmy Swaggart
Publisher: Jimmy Swaggart Ministries
ISBN: 1934655686
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
This book, “Brother Swaggart, Here Is My Question About The Holy Spirit”, contains extremely important information regarding the Holy Spirit that, to my knowledge, cannot be found other than through this Ministry. The Holy Spirit has a particular “Way” that He Works in the hearts and lives of Believers. Unfortunately, most in the modern church world have little or no understanding of that particular “Way.” I personally believe this book will also shed some light on the Baptism with the Holy Spirit, as well as Gifts of the Spirit, and the initial, physical evidence of the Baptism. But, out of all of this, one of the most important things is, the “Way” the Holy Spirit Works is information that every single Believer must have. In fact, unless this “Way” is understood, the Believer cannot live as a successful Christian; consequently, this Book is a must.
