The Blood of His Servants
Author: Malcolm MacPherson
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307817008
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
The Blood of His Servants is a remarkable true story. In the whole range of Holocaust literature it stands apart, for it recounts the search by one survivor for the single Nazi murderer of his family—a man who had once been their friend. In prewar Poland, Bibi Krumholz, the nephew of prosperous Jewish landowners, is befriended by the wealthy Dutchman Pieter Menten. Largely due to Menten’s wordly influence, Bibi leaves for Palestine in 1935. In the years before the war, Menten establishes a business partnership with Bibi’s family; in a legal battle over timber rights, Menten is publicly embarrassed and swears retribution. It comes swiftly. In 1945, Bibi is desperate for news of his family. Wisps of rumor drift to Tel Aviv about the fate of his village. Then Bibi learns from survivors that Menten exacted a hideous revenge, that as an adviser to an SS killer squad, Menten directed the execution of all Jews in the village—including every member of Bibi’s family. Bibi vows vengeance and his hunt begins.

No Longer Servants, But Friends
Author: Edward C. Zaragoza
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780687081639
Category : Church group work
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The time has come, Edward C. Zaragoza argues, to lay a new foundation for how we understand ordained ministry. He begins by reminding us that, on the basis of the priesthood of all believers, clergy are ministers with, rather than servants of, the congregation. Building on the horizontal nature of this relationship, he suggests that we begin to think of a friendship model of ministry. In this model the authority of the ordained arises not from the quality of their service to the congregation (a service which can too easily lead to subjugation or superiority), but from the fact that the church has set them apart to minister with and among them, carrying on their own ministry of prayer, proclamation, and teaching, in ways that enhance and facilitate the ministry of the whole people of God. In this timely and constructive theological analysis, Zaragoza offers a new paradigm for understanding the function of ordained ministry in the life of the congregation. After presenting a critique of the "servant leadership model" and explaining the risks inherent in it, the author presents a "friendship model" of ordained ministry and explains how this model arises from and takes place within the context of the whole people of God.

Book Description
Religious people don't necessarily make good neighbors! Believers tend to become like the God they revere. What kind of neighbors would a friendly God produce--a God who values nothing higher than freedom & individuality, a God who would rather treat his followers not as servants, but as friends?

Nothing was overlooked--including the "dark speech," "servant talk," & the most forbidding stories! An experienced man of the people, author Graham Maxwell (Ph.D. University of Chicago) has brought the Bible to life--with a good dose of humor--for his university students, for professionals, children & culturally diverse groups all over the world. SERVANTS OR FRIENDS? is a beautifully illustrated gift edition featuring California artist Susan Kelley. Both hardcover & paperback are on acid free patina matte paper with smyth-sewn binding.
