Book Description
When a woman becomes pregnant, miscarriage is usually the furthest thing from her mind. Such was the case for Jessalyn Hutto when she became pregnant with her first baby. But as is all too common in our post-fall world, the life she carried came to an abrupt end. Death had visited her womb, and the horrors of miscarriage had become a part of her life’s story. ••• Ultimately, she would lose two children in the womb, at 6 and 15 weeks gestation. Through these painful losses, a whole new world of suffering opened up to her. It seemed that everywhere she looked women were quietly mourning the loss of their unborn children. Yet this particular type of loss has been grossly overlooked by the church. ••• Couples navigating the unique sorrow of losing a child are often left with little biblical counsel to draw upon. Well-meaning friends and family often offer empty platitudes and Christian clichés. But what these couples truly need is the hope of the gospel. ••• Short, sensitive, and theologically robust, Inheritance of Tears offers hope and comfort to those who are called to walk through the painful trial of miscarriage, and shows pastors and church members how to effectively minister to these parents in their time of need.

Pages : 322
Book Description
Exploring how the U.S. military can move beyond Iraq and Afghanistan Since the September 11, 2001, attacks, the U.S. military has been fighting incessantly in conflicts around the globe, often with inconclusive results. The legacies of these conflicts have serious implications for how the United States will wage war in the future. Yet there is a stunning lack of introspection about these conflicts. Never in modern U.S. history has the military been at war for so long. And never in U.S. history have such long wars demanded so much of so few. The legacy of wars without end include a military that feels the painful effects of war but often feels alone. The public is less connected to the military now than at any point in modern U.S. history. The national security apparatus seeks to pivot away from these engagements and to move on to the next threats—notably those emanating from China and Russia. Many young Americans question whether it even makes sense to invest in the military. At best, there are ad hoc, unstructured debates about Iraq or Afghanistan. Simply put, there has been no serious, organized stock-taking by the public, politicians, opinion leaders, or the military itself of this inheritance. Despite being at war for the longest continuous period in its history, the military is woefully unprepared for future wars. But the United States cannot simply hit the reset button. This book explores this inheritance by examining how nearly two decades of war have influenced civil-military relations, how the military goes to war, how the military wages war, who leads the military and who serves in it, how the military thinks about war, and above all, the enduring impact of these wars on those who waged them. If the U.S. military seeks to win in the future, it must acknowledge and reconcile with the inheritance of its long and inconclusive wars. This book seeks to help them do so.

The Reward of Inheritance
Author: Ekeregbe P. Merit
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1387682520
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
The book "The Reward of Inheritance" is a full package that reveals our real estate in Christ, how we get there, the battles involved to manifest the ultimate expectation that God has designed for the body of Christ through the Holy Gift He provided for her. It reveals the wisdom of God that should guide our daily lives because this impacts on the image and the status that Christ has carved for us through the Abrahamic covenant. The work of the Patriarchs of our faith lays a golden glaze on our Christian faith because that is the foundation that carries the body of Christ. We that were no people have now become the people of God. This is no mean feat, but an arduous work of faith which we are only called to benefit. We appropriate the benefits whenever we (any man or woman) on earth apply for its benevolence. So the masterpiece to becoming a beneficiary of the inheritance is to be engrafted into the Abrahamic covenant and protection. The entrance into the privilege and protection of the Abrahamic covenant is not a tea party because the devil would want you not to know and when you know it, he desires that you may be carefree and motionless about it spiritually. You must exert force to undo all that the devil and the enemies have done to enable you to gain entrance into the promise and the place of the promise. This is a battle you must gear up to fight: the battle of recovery and dominion. It is in this vein that for us to enjoy the inheritance, we must be timely because the inheritance is timely. The inheritance we possess in Christ must also have the capacity to be transferred the same way the Abrahamic blessing was transferred to us. If that is the case, then there is need to groom our children in the ways of the Lord; preparing them for the inheritance. If the inheritance must be transferred to our children's children, then we must grow the inheritance and sustain same. The inheritance can only be grown and sustained when we groom our children in the lifestyle of the inheritance. This book is accompanied by a prayer handbook which deals with spiritual warfare on total recovery package of the inheritance that one who has accepted Jesus is entitled. This recovery is benched on salvation and its revelation. One might be saved and still be under yokes except the salvation comes with divine revelation. The light of revelation is what drives the warfare to recover the inheritance. The inheritance is bulky and is stock-in-trade, and only those who have access to the grace which salvation brings can enjoy same. It is available to anyone who chooses to purchase it. The currency is a capsule of salvation, knowledge and the inheritance passion or claim-drive. The knowledge and the revelation you have through the book "The Reward of the Inheritance" is the propulsion to declare your victory through the prayer actions in the handbook. "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint," Luke 18: 1 (KJV). Prayer is hard work, and it requires energy. The revelation the word gives should be a bolster for the claim of the inheritance. This drive produces no result except it is converted in praying for the inheritance. As you labor in the grace, you must align with the time because timing is paramount. The energy to hold to the inheritance is the power to sustain and grow the inheritance to benefit yourself and others because the essence of inheritance is sustainability.

The Cross and the Lynching Tree
Author: James H. Cone
Publisher: Orbis Books
ISBN: 160833001X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
A landmark in the conversation about race and religion in America. "They put him to death by hanging him on a tree." Acts 10:39 The cross and the lynching tree are the two most emotionally charged symbols in the history of the African American community. In this powerful new work, theologian James H. Cone explores these symbols and their interconnection in the history and souls of black folk. Both the cross and the lynching tree represent the worst in human beings and at the same time a thirst for life that refuses to let the worst determine our final meaning. While the lynching tree symbolized white power and "black death," the cross symbolizes divine power and "black life" God overcoming the power of sin and death. For African Americans, the image of Jesus, hung on a tree to die, powerfully grounded their faith that God was with them, even in the suffering of the lynching era. In a work that spans social history, theology, and cultural studies, Cone explores the message of the spirituals and the power of the blues; the passion and of Emmet Till and the engaged vision of Martin Luther King, Jr.; he invokes the spirits of Billie Holliday and Langston Hughes, Fannie Lou Hamer and Ida B. Well, and the witness of black artists, writers, preachers, and fighters for justice. And he remembers the victims, especially the 5,000 who perished during the lynching period. Through their witness he contemplates the greatest challenge of any Christian theology to explain how life can be made meaningful in the face of death and injustice.
