Book Description
Kokeb Gedamu was born in poverty in a remote village in Ethiopia as a Beta Yisrael, a Black Jew whose people were converted to Christianity at the end of the 19th century. Threatened by armed communist insurgents which persecuted Christians, Jews, and adherents to Haile Selaisse, he fled his village, traveling over mountains and through jungles where many of his comrades had perished. Despite threats to his life and his wife's safety, he traveled across the parched desert of Sudan, armed solely with his faith in God, and eventually emigrated to Egypt in order to reach the Promised Homeland his father had told him about, Israel. Once in Israel, he faced religious persecution, forcing him to travel to the frigid borders of Canada and finally to America where his growing family could find safety, freedom, and stability.

The Secret Doorway
Author: Paul Hutchins
Publisher: Imagination Publishing
ISBN: 0981712339
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
A pictorial drama of the creation of Heaven and Earth based upon the awe-inspiring photo images from the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes. Author, Paul Hutchins uncovers a grand drama on a universal scale that has been playing out since the invention of the telescope. He poses the question, is this grand drama merely in response to an ancient invitation recorded in the Book of Isaiah? It states in Isaiah 40:26, ""Look up into the heavens."" Who created all the stars? Through the use of his imagination and the invention of the telescope, man has discovered a once secret doorway to a world beyond imagination. He has now, in this age of cutting edge technology developed flying space telescopes in his quest to know, how did we get here? What he has found has astounded him. Hutchins farther poses the question; if it took over 400 years of man’s imagination from when the telescope was invented, and countless other inventions including the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, to merely take photo images of the universe, then who’s imagination is responsible for the reality those photo images represent? As we peer through this doorway to the heavens and look upon these heavenly cosmic bodies, we find ourselves awed by their grandeur. The pressing question becomes too large to ignore. Who is responsible for all these things? Could it be that we are now peering into the mind of a supreme architect with an imagination far beyond that of mere mortals? Could we be peering into the mind of imagination supreme? Could it be that we have been brought to this point in history unbeknownst to ourselves and given this technology by the one who extended that ancient invitation recorded by Isaiah 2700 years ago?

Nina Here Nor There
Author: Nick Krieger
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807000922
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
The next-generation Stone Butch Blues—a contemporary trans memoir of gender awakening, first love, and self-discovery that “invites readers to view gender not as a binary or a spectrum but as an infinitely beautiful ‘kaleidoscope’” (Bust Magazine). Ambitious, sporty, feminine “capital-L lesbians” had been Nina Krieger’s type. For friends that is. She hadn’t dated in 7 years, a period of non-stop traveling—searching for what, or avoiding what, she didn’t know. When she lands in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood, her roommates introduce her to a whole new world, full of people who identify as queer, who modify their bodies and blur the line between woman and man, who defy everything Nina thought she knew about gender and identity. Despite herself, Nina is drawn to the people she once considered freaks, and before long, she is forging a path that is neither man nor woman, here nor there. This candid and humorous memoir of gender awakening brings readers into the world of the next generation of transgender warriors and tells a classic tale of first love and self-discovery.
