Book Description
The apostles of Christ transformed a world which presumed of intellectual and sophisticated. The wisdom of God made from simple apprentices, master sof few words; even so it remains to this day. Were they demented, or sane men filled with the Holy Spirit? There is still a dark hour yet to come in the final annals of human history apart from our Creator—and soon—where men of God will have to face the most deadly and sophisticated worldly power having as a defense weapon only their dignity, as the first Christian Martyr Stephen had it. They will be accused before political and religious councils; however, the Light that the Lord propagated cannot be extinguished, because it is eternal. The only interest of Yeshúa of Nazareth is that mankind had the same opportunities and gets to enjoy the promises of God. It is up to men in choosing or rejecting his ways. Nobody should lose that gift from God given by his infinite mercy. That is the nature of our Heavenly Father. We are all dismissed from God’s glory and for that basic and important reason we are in much need of the Galilean from Nazareth: to let us boarding his eternal boat. In a prophecy written centuries before the coming of Jesus, the Holy Spirit announced for us: “Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.” (Psalm 2:12).

Jesus Christ: Myth or Reality?
Author: Alejandro Roque Glez
Publisher: Alejandro's Libros
ISBN:
Category : Bibles
Languages : en
Pages : 25
Book Description
For many, Jesus is a good man, others believe he was a great leader who died many years ago, or a story created a century ago. Some do not even imagine any of the events from when he lived among us. What did reveal to us the apostles who were with him? Is Jesus a myth? Is he a reality? The popular superstitions and all the impiety that societies submerged in spiritual numbness produce, cause that our atmosphere is highly distrustful to everything, and snatches from our hearts the highest love expressions which could only come from the consolatory wisdom of our God and Creator. Jesus, the Word of God, uncovered for us in a simple way the secrets of wisdom and salvation unveiled for those who believe in him. Not for perfects and impeccable ones, but the weary and afflicted, those who know about the loads are too heavy to be carried in our hands as we walk through lifetime valleys of shadows. Who sat feet on this earth and has given such unerring sentences as the ones given by the Lord? Who is that man who expressed such strong words that shook the world? "The officers answered, No man ever spoke like that!" (John 7:46) [Taken from the author's book entitled: "Born Motherland or Death"]

A Polish Son in the Motherland
Author: Leonard Kniffel
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1585444413
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
Searching for the remnants of his family, Leonard Kniffel left Chicago in 2000 to live in Poland. A Polish Son in the Motherland is the story of a search for roots and for the reasons why one family’s ties were severed more than fifty years ago. Along the way, we see what half a century of communism did to Poland and how the residue of World War II lingers. The author’s search begins inauspiciously, but he soon meets a local wine merchant and her son, who are eager to reveal the secrets of Nowe Miasto Lubawskie, the town near which his grandmother was born. After he moves in with Adam, a local entrepreneur who trades in everything from shoes and cosmetics to computers and jam, he begins to master his ancestral language and learn the ways of the community from Adam’s mother, who loves long walks in the woods—and meals made from what she picks there. Kniffel’s search for a connection to Poland is propelled by memories of the stories his grandmother told him about her emigration to Michigan in 1913. While his family eludes him, the adventure becomes an investigation into the relationship between mothers and the legacy they give their sons. Poles who emigrated to America, the author concludes, must have been particularly good at assimilating into American culture. Less than fifty years after his maternal grandparents arrived in the United States, barely a trace of their Polishness existed in their grandchildren. Through his grandparents’ struggles, their children became American and created a new world for themselves and their descendants. In returning to Poland himself, Kniffel sought and found a bridge to the “Great Migration” that changed the lives of so many millions—and millions yet to come.

Motherland
Author: Pamela Marin
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 141658479X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Pamela Marin was fourteen when her mother died of breast cancer. After keeping her illness a secret from her daughter, Mildred Marin left her home in Evanston, Illinois, to spend her last months alone and without treatment in California. When she died in 1973, her husband buried the family's memories with her -- clearing the house of her belongings, avoiding any mention of her, and never once taking his young daughter to her mother's grave. Before Marin was out of her teens, her father went bankrupt and moved in with his thirty-years-younger girlfriend. Now in this luminous memoir, written with rare grace and unflinching honesty, Marin chronicles how she came to reject her father's dismissal of the past and ultimately to embark on a cross- country search for traces of the mother she never really knew. With family and home gone, Marin got to work supporting herself, first as a waitress in Chicago's northside bars, then as a secretary, and finally as a journalist, landing a job as a staff writer at a newspaper in Southern California when she was twenty-seven. Two years later, happily ensconced in a beach house with the man who would become her husband and the father of her children, Marin began to dream about the mother who'd been gone for more than half her life. Those haunting dreams led to the quest at the heart of Motherland. Fifteen years after Mildred Marin's death, the author dropped out of her own life to research her mother's. Using her reporter's skills, Marin traveled to Tennessee, where her mother was born and reared; to Chicago, where her mother worked as a commercial artist and met the man she would marry; and back to California, where Mildred Marin went to die. Along the way, Marin collected treasured artifacts as well as others' memories of her mother. She confronted her father about the silence that enshrouded his wife's illness and death, causing a rift in their relationship that would last until he died a decade later. Motherland is a journey shot through with love and pain. It is a story of loss, discovery, and, ultimately, forgiveness. By coming to terms with her mother's life, Pamela Marin opened the way for the emotional intimacy she had craved as a child -- and finally found in her own motherhood.

Book Description
This is the second in a series of four volumes, presenting the most important texts that triggered and shaped the processes of nation-building in Central and Southeast Europe. The series aims to integrate the history of these cultures with that of general European civilization. Thus it counteracts the habit whereby European intellectual phenomena and historical movements are generally analyzed where they originated and experienced their earliest and most intensive development, while the peculiar manifestations of these currents in the 'Other Europe' are neglected.
