The Peanut Butter Man
Author: Russ Irwin
Publisher: Tate Publishing

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
As radicals were threatening to burn their home, Qureshi's wife asked their seven-year old daughter, 'Sameena, they are going to burn our house; are you ready?' How many Christian girls at age seven would be prepared to answer as Sameena did? 'I am, for I know we will meet in heaven.' Raised Muslim, the son of an imam, how does a man like Qureshi end up giving his life, and those of his family, to Jesus Christ? Two words account for the great change in Qureshi's life: 'But God...' These two powerful words emphasize God's complete control of every situation for his own purpose. From his time as a religious teacher to his life as The Peanut Butter Man, Qureshi's story contains examples of how Islam responds to one of it own who turns from Islam to follow Jesus Christ. It also gives insights as to why Muslims find ideas such as the Holy Trinity, the Son of God, and the assurance of getting to heaven so offensive. As readers witness how God wonderfully used Qureshi, they will receive a wakeup call to make their lives a more effective witness for Jesus Christ. Their own faith will be strengthened as they walk with Qureshi through his many experiences in following Jesus Christ.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Finalist, Lambda Literary Award, Governor General's Literary Award, and Amazon Canada First Novel Award; Longlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize Spanning three continents, Butter Honey Pig Bread tells the interconnected stories of three Nigerian women: Kambirinachi and her twin daughters, Kehinde and Taiye. Kambirinachi believes that she is an Ogbanje, or an Abiku, a non-human spirit that plagues a family with misfortune by being born and then dying in childhood to cause a human mother misery. She has made the unnatural choice of staying alive to love her human family but lives in fear of the consequences of her decision. Kambirinachi and her two daughters become estranged from one another because of a trauma that Kehinde experiences in childhood, which leads her to move away and cut off all contact. She ultimately finds her path as an artist and seeks to raise a family of her own, despite her fear that she won’t be a good mother. Meanwhile, Taiye is plagued by guilt for what her sister suffered and also runs away, attempting to fill the void of that lost relationship with casual flings with women. She eventually discovers a way out of her stifling loneliness through a passion for food and cooking. But now, after more than a decade of living apart, Taiye and Kehinde have returned home to Lagos. It is here that the three women must face each other and address the wounds of the past if they are to reconcile and move forward. For readers of African diasporic authors such as Teju Cole and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Butter Honey Pig Bread is a story of choices and their consequences, of motherhood, of the malleable line between the spirit and the mind, of finding new homes and mending old ones, of voracious appetites, of queer love, of friendship, faith, and above all, family. This publication meets the EPUB Accessibility requirements and it also meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG-AA).
