Guerilla Christianity
Author: James Costello
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1664239553
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
The Bible reveals we are in a battle—a spiritual war waged on earth and in heavenly places—for our very souls. We have a real enemy of our faith who wants to take away our peace, joy, and happiness. It is his desire to destroy lives. It is God’s desire to restore them. In Guerilla Christianity, author James Costello demonstrates, through sound life principles and scripture passages, there is a way to battle the enemy of our faith and to live a faith-filled life. He weaves personal accounts of loss and spiritual battle with tales of bravery and faith. Offering inspiration to others, he provides examples of God’s spiritual weapons that were used to overcome extreme circumstances. James communicates that God does not want you—his child—to live a defeated, meaningless existence. He wants you to walk in the power of his might, to have a sense of purpose and direction.

TRIP
Author: H. ROESTONO SOEPARTO KOESOEMO
Publisher: PT. Rayyana Komunikasindo
ISBN: 6235378343
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 574
Book Description
In the current era, the vocabulary "soldier" and "student" rarely come together in one complete word, because usually someone can only become a soldier after completing their primary and secondary education as a student. However, this was not the case in the era of Indonesia’s War of Independence. At that time, the words "Student Army" were actually synonymous with the heroic role played by high school and middle school students in the armed struggle to defend independence in the period 1945-1949. Based on the dynamics of events that have occurred since the Proclamation of Independence on 17 August 1945, followed by escalation which culminated in the outbreak of fighting on 10 November 1945 in Surabaya, the resilience and fighting spirit of the young Republic was tested for the first time in a Baptism of Fire. In the midst of the vicious fighting that raged in Surabaya, a group of armed students consolidated themselves into the Student Army of the Republic of Indonesia (TRIP) East Java Command. This book immortalizes the journey of the TRIP troops' struggle. Starting from Surabaya, mid-October 1945, to TRIP's rear-guard role in protecting the retreat of Republican troops from Surabaya to defensive positions centered in Malang throughout 1946, and their subsequent withdrawal from Malang after the First Dutch Military Aggression on 21 July 1947. The struggle then continued to the interior of the slopes of Mount Kelud and Arjosari to the Tapal Kuda area and the southern coast of East Java around Banyuwangi, until the recognition of Indonesia’s sovereignty on 27 December 1949. Everything was done by walking and walking and walking, crossing hundreds of kilometers of paths in the wilderness full of thorns and venomous animals, muddy village roads, and the hot asphalt of burning roads, often barefoot with no foot gear let alone combat shoes, with weapons slung faithfully on his shoulder. In several stages, this journey even involved having to pull and push field artillery piece while repelling air attacks, moving silently as a guerrilla unit, attacking and disappearing, spreading frustration and striking fear on the part of the colonial troops! It is not surprising that Field Marshall of the TNI (Ret.) Dr. AH. Nasution wrote in his memoir entitled "Fulfilling the Call of Duty (Edition 5 Around the Indonesian War of Independence)", as follows: "...of the many incidents of patriotism and heroism that have been officially reported, the most prominent is the heroic feats demonstrated by the members of the TRIP units...". This book is about them, from them, by them, for the Indonesian nation.

Tok Dalang and Stories of Other Malaysians
Author: Ghulam-Sarwar Yousof
Publisher: Partridge Publishing Singapore
ISBN: 148282759X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
Tok Dalang and Stories of Other Malaysians is a collection of short fiction written by Ghulam-Sarwar Yousof over several years. The stories deal with a range of characters and issues that in some ways are unique in Malaysian fiction in the English language. Its main strength lies in the fact that while Malay characters still make their appearances in several of the stories, the stories also touch upon aspects of their traditional culture, something rare in Malaysian writing. Additionally, lives and particular concerns of members of the minority communities in the country, including Tamil Muslims, Sikhs, Pakistanis, as well as Indonesians, have been explored both in depth as well as in a sympathetic manner for the first time in Malaysian writing. Through the writers grasp of the English language, including its local nuances, as well as a sensitive appreciation of their diverse cultures and cultural manifestations, the lives of Malaysians have been subtly coaxed into these stories, which are likely to find an important place in contemporary Malaysian literature in English.

The Tyāgarāja Cult in Tamilnāḍu
Author: Rajeshwari Ghose
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass Publ.
ISBN: 9788120813915
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
Tiruvarur in the Thanjavur district of Tamilnadu was the centre of Saiva and Sakta worship from very ancient times. The Saiva cult revolved around the Tyagaraja icon enshrined in a temple bearing the name of the image. Interestingly, Tyagaraja is not the principle deity but a processional icon and is in fact an amalgam of three deities--Siva his consort Uma and their child Skanda. Tyagaraja is a Somaskanda and the first visual representation of this composite deity can be traced to the time of Pallava rule.
