Chasing Rumor
Author: Cameron Chambers
Publisher: Patagonia
ISBN: 1938340418
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
A blip of prosperity at the turn of the 20th century brought American trout to Patagonia, then for a half-century they were forgotten to fight wars and build a nation. Rediscovered by fishermen a half-century later, the fish had grown to epic proportions. In Chasing Rumor, Cameron Chambers chronicles his modern-day pilgrimage to the rivers of Patagonia in pursuit of these legendary 20-pound trout. What started as a trip focused on catching fish became a love affair with the Patagonian landscape, environment, and, mostly, the people. From a business mogul turned B&B owner to a kid determined to save a local trout population, Chasing Rumor is at times the story of a handful of fishermen, and at other times a tale of enormous trout.

The Unnamed Touched by the Galilean
Author: B. Jay Cannon
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 144977458X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Struggling humans that Scripture only identifies by what happened to them come alive with names and personalities as their lives unfold. A huge, crazed brute; a beautiful woman of the street; a deaf-mute; a leper; and others are social outcasts drawn together by awesome, transforming experiences they share. Each has been touched by the Galilean. Then some are assaulted, and finally one of their number is killed. This brings the local centurion to champion their cause as suspicion grows that the assaults are part of a conspiracy to destroy their fellowship, The Followers of the Way of the Galilean. We walk the hills with them, step into their courtyards, overhear deeply personal love, and cringe under confrontations of lies. Expansive experiences of nature and humanitys realities thrust us into Capernaum of Galilee. It is a kaleidoscope of sights and sounds: Aramaic chatter of fishermen, housewives, and shopkeepers in the marketplace; the rattle of soldiers armor; and angry confrontations of exposed suspects compete with echoes of donkey hooves and the shrill laughter of children. The enticing aroma of baking barley bread in courtyard ovens mingles with the smell of sweet breezes off Lake Gennesaret. At the center of this substance of first-century Galilee, a mystery unfolds. Is there possibly a conspiracy behind the assaults and assassins, and can faith hold out?

Outraged
Author: Tamara Darvish
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1450289444
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
In Outraged, an auto insider provides an inspiring account of what it means to lose your rights, property, and, in essence, the American dream. It begins with roughly two thousand men and women whose companies were destroyed by two automakers, General Motors and Chrysler, during their government-led corporate restructurings in 2009. Authors Tamara Darvish, vice president of DARCARS Automotive in Maryland, and Lillie Guyer, a Detroit area automotive journalist, show the collapse of the American dream from the perspective of an entrepreneur who was affected by the automotive industry bailout. In this featurized business story, Outraged details the founding of the activist group Committee to Restore Dealer Rights and its efforts to regain the economic rights of auto dealerships throughout the United States. It tells how they took their fight to Congress and to the steps of the White House. Outraged candidly examines the battles between dealers and the entities that engineered their demise. It also details the pain and the high points in government as its temporary power brokers ignore the significant role of Congress in lawmaking and the rights of ordinary citizens. This personal, controversial account shows what can happen when people unite in a common cause and stand up for what they believe is right.

Worship at a Crossroads
Author: Melinda A. Quivik
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666735205
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
This book calls Protestant churches, and the ELCA in particular, to a church-wide conversation about racism. It is a response to the 2019 book Dear Church by Lenny Duncan, a former Lutheran pastor who is Black and who, among other reparations, calls for changing the church’s worship in order to address segregated Sundays. Changes in worship affect theological foundations. Informed consideration is essential. Because entering into life-changing conversations requires vulnerability and commitment, this book includes several narratives: my life as a White woman and pastor, the history of the Black church as defined by Black theologians, the development of the liturgical renewal movement, and my experiences as a professor navigating worship conflicts as my seminary struggled with financial constraints and a changing student body. The seminary conflicts offered me a window into how better to address racism inspired by the example of post-WWII German truth-telling and how some US Southern states have come to grips with the history of the Jim Crow South (described in Susan Neiman’s Learning from the Germans). This book outlines a way forward for churches in responding to racism by encouraging healthy engagement with contentious relationships as a necessity for healing.
