Pages : 482
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND ECONOMIST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR “A deeply reported, deeply personal history of Zionism and Israel that does something few books even attempt: It balances the strength and weakness, the idealism and the brutality, the hope and the horror, that has always been at Zionism’s heart.”—Ezra Klein, The New York Times Winner of the Natan Book Award, the National Jewish Book Award, and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award Ari Shavit’s riveting work, now updated with new material, draws on historical documents, interviews, and private diaries and letters, as well as his own family’s story, to create a narrative larger than the sum of its parts: both personal and of profound historical dimension. As he examines the complexities and contradictions of the Israeli condition, Shavit asks difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? Can it survive? Culminating with an analysis of the issues and threats that Israel is facing, My Promised Land uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the present. Shavit’s analysis of Israeli history provides a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a crucial role in today’s global political landscape.

Friendship or Enmity?
Author: Vincent Hirschi
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532693982
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
James's epistle is usually remembered for being very practical and for inviting its readers to acts of mercy and compassion. And yet, the same letter also claims that it is not possible to love God and to love “the world.” In other words, James encourages his readers to develop two seemingly opposite attitudes at the same time: to reject the world and to be involved in it. Vincent Hirschi shows that James contains crucial insights on how the church can be at the same time a positive social force and a prophetic voice challenging the society she serves. Through careful exegesis and attention to details, he explores the relationships between the personal and communal dimensions of faith, on the interplay between development of character and social action, and proposes a detailed analysis of the role of the church in James's letter.

Friendship of the Lord

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
Does the religious experience of Israelites mean anything to us today? Or does it apply more to the rituals, prayers, and myths of the ancient Near East than to our world? Was Israelite spirituality so rooted in its culture that it will not transplant? Or can we graft its shoots of faith and its struggle with life into our contemporary spirituality with integrity? What happens when we look at a relationship with God through the lens of the Old Testament? Does the Old Testament open a window on what it means to be human now?These are the issues addressed in this survey. It looks at what it means to see life as a journey walked with God. It explores the fear of the Lord, biblical meditation, and confronting God in anger. It focuses on life's mundaneness and its absurdity. It analyses guilt, true and false, and restoration through forgiveness. It asks whether Israel's experience of time passing, the calender of seasons, and the rhythm of life offer today's urban commuters memos for their diaries.Deryck Sheriff's concern to bridge the divide has led him to write a book on the Old Testament which moves from the world of academic biblical studies into the realm of contemporary spirituality.

Experiencing Friendship with God
Author: Faith Eury Cho
Publisher: WaterBrook
ISBN: 0593445589
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Build a confident friendship with Jesus that will carry you through the seasons of wilderness and back to abundance, with ancient wisdom alongside modern guidance from pastor and speaker Faith Eury Cho. “A kind guide to help us explore the riches of our friend and Savior, Jesus . . . You’ll love this book.”—Jess Connolly, author of You Are the Girl For the Job and Breaking Free From Body Shame In the wilderness of the soul, we can become more familiar with pain than progress and more acquainted with loneliness than companionship. But what if the purpose of our wandering is not to reach the Promised Land but to recognize that God is with us in the desert? In Experiencing Friendship with God, speaker and pastor Faith Eury Cho draws on Brother Lawrence’s ancient wisdom about intimacy with God to help us know God’s Presence more fully in today’s complicated world. With practical ideas and stories from her own spiritual journey, Faith explores how to • wrestle with the tension of believing in God even when we can’t sense Him • glean wisdom from Israel’s journey in the wilderness • understand what a life centered around God’s Presence looks like • find tools to deepen our intimacy with God • embrace the paradox of mystery and faith and of longing and hope If knowing the Presence of God is our greatest desire, then every season of our lives has significance—even the wilderness. In that barren land, we realize that the purpose of each moment is God Himself. And when we do that, we will understand that we were never without Him after all.
