Book Description
2020 Palestine Book Awards Winner 2021 Aspen Words Literary Prize Finalist “Susan Abulhawa possesses the heart of a warrior; she looks into the darkest crevices of lives, conflicts, horrendous injustices, and dares to shine light that can illuminate hidden worlds for us.” —Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize–winning author In this “beautiful...urgent” novel (The New York Times), Nahr, a young Palestinian woman, fights for a better life for her family as she travels as a refugee throughout the Middle East. As Nahr sits, locked away in solitary confinement, she spends her days reflecting on the dramatic events that landed her in prison in a country she barely knows. Born in Kuwait in the 70s to Palestinian refugees, she dreamed of falling in love with the perfect man, raising children, and possibly opening her own beauty salon. Instead, the man she thinks she loves jilts her after a brief marriage, her family teeters on the brink of poverty, she’s forced to prostitute herself, and the US invasion of Iraq makes her a refugee, as her parents had been. After trekking through another temporary home in Jordan, she lands in Palestine, where she finally makes a home, falls in love, and her destiny unfolds under Israeli occupation. Nahr’s subversive humor and moral ambiguity will resonate with fans of My Sister, The Serial Killer, and her dark, contemporary struggle places her as the perfect sister to Carmen Maria Machado’s Her Body and Other Parties. Written with Susan Abulhawa’s distinctive “richly detailed, beautiful, and resonant” (Publishers Weekly) prose, this powerful novel presents a searing, darkly funny, and wholly unique portrait of a Palestinian woman who refuses to be a victim.

God's Love is Different
Author: Jeffrey G. Rogers
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
“The book explores the law, the history, the poetry, the prophets, the gospels, and the letters, endowing awareness and progression of light given throughout the bible to reveal God’s love towards mankind.” In this selective eloquent discussion of God’s amazing love, Pastor Jeff Rogers challenges us to think outside the box of understanding love and to experience it from a higher perspective. Pastor Jeff has a long-standing interest in seeing the Church move in the anointing for healing and deliverance and understanding its role in the salvation of Israel and wrote a book on the matter. He appeared on a TV broadcast network (TBN) for over 17 years, speaking about the things peculiar to the Kingdom of God. Pastor Jeff’s goal is to see lifeless institutional traditions overcome by families ministering together evangelistically in the order and anointing of the Spirit with power gifts, and signs that follow. His latest undertaking with this book is based on appreciating what we have not seen concerning the Love of God.
