Book Description
Just as Hannah pleaded with the Lord for her son Samuel in 1 Samuel 1:10, so this devotional is a focused journey of faith and intentional prayer on behalf of our deepest longings for a child. Each day in this three-week journey encapsulates what I have processed and learned through my season of barrenness in regards to my understanding of God amidst the greatest suffering I have known. For those who thirst for answers in the wilderness of waiting and long to hear from Him, this book is a practical guide to help strengthen your resolve under the load you bear. In my darkest moments of despair during our infertility battle and my husbands’ health crisis, we decided to do a 21-day fasting/prayer challenge. “It wasn’t easy” is an understatement. In fact, the increasing spiritual oppression we felt was staggering. But guess what? The Lord showed up. Not immediately, as it was months later we heard from Him; but we ultimately experienced Him profoundly! So I’m challenging you today: commit to praying to the Lord for 21 days for your innermost yearnings for motherhood and healing. I think you will be blown away by the power you hold in asking and in the graciousness of our Father in answering you. Hannah’s barren cry is what moved the heart of God. So of you, your barren cry is not powerless—it is powerful! I dare you to faithfully impress your requests upon the heart of God and not encounter an experience of life changing proportions.

Do They Hear You When You Cry
Author: Fauziya Kassindja
Publisher: Delta
ISBN: 0385319940
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 543
Book Description
For Fauziya Kassindja, an idyllic childhood in Togo, West Africa, sheltered from the tribal practices of polygamy and genital mutilation, ended with her beloved father's sudden death. Forced into an arranged marriage at age seventeen, Fauziya was told to prepare for kakia, the ritual also known as female genital mutilation. It is a ritual no woman can refuse. But Fauziya dared to try. This is her story--told in her own words--of fleeing Africa just hours before the ritual kakia was to take place, of seeking asylum in America only to be locked up in U.S. prisons, and of meeting Layli Miller Bashir, a law student who became Fauziya's friend and advocate during her horrifying sixteen months behind bars. Layli enlisted help from Karen Musalo, an expert in refugee law and acting director of the American University International Human Rights Clinic. In addition to devoting her own considerable efforts to the case, Musalo assembled a team to fight with her on Fauziya's behalf. Ultimately, in a landmark decision in immigration history, Fauziya Kassindja was granted asylum on June 13, 1996. Do They Hear You When You Cry is her unforgettable chronicle of triumph.

I Am Large, I Contain Multitudes

ISBN: 9004194444

Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
This book joins the notion that Second Isaiah is a poetic text with the task of interpreting it as a unified whole. In so doing, it makes methodological suggestions for applying a lyric poetic approach to biblical texts. The practical application of this approach shows Second Isaiah to be characterized by tension, conflict, and juxtaposition. The lyric model shows these conflicts, such as the presence of searing indictments in the ‘book of comfort,’ to be integral elements of the mode by which Second Isaiah addresses its audience. This book highlights the tonalities of the divine voice as central to Second Isaiah’s particularly poetic mode of cohesion and essential to the conflicted comfort Second Isaiah offers its reader.

The Intestines of the State
Author: Nicolas Argenti
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226026132
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
The young people of the Cameroon Grassfields have been subject to a long history of violence and political marginalization. For centuries the main victims of the slave trade, they became prime targets for forced labor campaigns under a series of colonial rulers. Today’s youth remain at the bottom of the fiercely hierarchical and polarized societies of the Grassfields, and it is their response to centuries of exploitation that Nicolas Argenti takes up in this absorbing and original book. Beginning his study with a political analysis of youth in the Grassfields from the eighteenth century to the present, Argenti pays special attention to the repeated violent revolts staged by young victims of political oppression. He then combines this history with extensive ethnographic fieldwork in the Oku chiefdom, discovering that the specter of past violence lives on in the masked dance performances that have earned intense devotion from today’s youth. Argenti contends that by evoking the imagery of past cataclysmic events, these masquerades allow young Oku men and women to address the inequities they face in their relations with elders and state authorities today.
