The Innkeeper’s Journey
Author: Samuel Carter
Publisher: Samuel Carter
ISBN:
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
In the bustling yet modest town of Bethlehem, Ezra, a quiet, unassuming innkeeper, finds himself at the center of a miraculous and life-changing event. A kind-hearted but ordinary man, Ezra has devoted his life to his family and his humble inn, welcoming weary travelers and offering them a warm place to rest. With the Roman census bringing a flood of visitors to the small town, Ezra’s days have become a whirlwind of responsibilities. His inn, once a peaceful refuge, is filled to capacity, leaving him exhausted yet quietly fulfilled. But one night, a young couple arrives on his doorstep, seeking shelter. The husband, Joseph, is worn from travel, while his young wife, Mary, is nearing childbirth. Despite his compassion, Ezra faces the painful reality that his inn is completely full. With a heavy heart, he offers them the only space he has left: a simple, quiet stable out back. Little does he know, this seemingly small act of kindness will become the beginning of a profound journey. Over the next few days, Ezra encounters mysterious visitors drawn to the young couple and the newborn child in his stable. Shepherds arrive, breathless and awestruck, recounting visions of angels who spoke of the child as a savior. Not long after, wise men from distant lands appear, guided by a radiant star, bearing gifts for the child they believe to be a king. Through these encounters, Ezra’s skepticism begins to wane, replaced by a deep, unexplainable sense of wonder.

Consuming the Word
Author: Scott Hahn
Publisher: Image
ISBN: 030759081X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
From the bestselling author of The Lamb's Supper and Signs of Life comes an illuminating work that unlocks the many mysteries of the Catholic sacrament of the Eucharist. Long before the New Testament was a document, it was a sacrament. Jesus called the Eucharist by the name Christians subsequently gave to the latter books of the Holy Bible. It was the "New Covenant," the "New Testament," in his blood. Christians later extended the phrase to cover the books produced by the apostles and their companions; but they did so because these were the books that could be read at Mass. This simple and demonstrable historical fact has enormous implications for the way we read the Bible. In Consuming the Word: The New Testament and the Eucharist in the Early Church, Dr. Scott Hahn undertakes an examination of some of Christianity's most basic terms to discover what they meant to the sacred authors, the apostolic preachers, and their first hearers. Moreover, at a time when the Church is embarking on a New Evangelization he draws lessons for Christians today to help solidify their understanding of the why it is Catholics do what Catholics do. Anyone acquainted with the rich body of writing that flows so inspiringly from the hand and heart of Dr. Hahn knows that he brings profound personal insight to his demonstrated theological expertise,” writes Cardinal Donald Wuerl in the foreword to the book. Consuming the Word continues in that illustrious tradition. It brings us a powerful and welcome guide as we take our place in the great and challenging work in sharing the Good News.

Sustaining Conflict
Author: Katherine Natanel
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520960793
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Sustaining Conflict develops a groundbreaking theory of political apathy, using a combination of ethnographic material, narrative, and political, cultural, and feminist theory. It examines how the status quo is maintained in Israel-Palestine, even by the activities of Jewish Israelis who are working against the occupation of Palestinian territories. The book shows how hierarchies and fault lines in Israeli politics lead to fragmentation, and how even oppositional power becomes routine over time. Most importantly, the book exposes how the occupation is sustained through a carefully crafted system that allows sympathetic Israelis to “knowingly not know,” further disconnecting them from the plight of Palestinians. While focusing on Israel, this is a book that has lessons for how any authoritarian regime is sustained through apathy.

A New World in a Small Place
Author: Robert Brentano
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520310292
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
Distinguished historian Robert Brentano provides an entirely new perspective on the character of the church, religion, and society in the medieval Italian diocese of Rieti from 1188 to 1378. Combing through a cache of previously ignored documents stored in a tower of the cathedral, he uses wills, litigation proceedings, fiscal accounts, and other records to reconstruct the daily life of the diocese. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.
