Finding My Truth

ISBN: 1312086564
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
I am presenting my story of how I left the Christian church, studied different religions, joined a cult (The Hebrew Israelites), and traveled across the world in search of spiritual truth only to find out that the Kingdom of God is within me. When I was a child, attendance at church was mandatory. While at church I felt myself suffocating, like someone was sapping the life out of me. When I became old enough to make decisions for myself I knew I would leave the Christian religion. I would be the first one in my family to openly acknowledge that I did not believe in Jesus Christ. I thought leaving Christianity meant that my family could possibly disown me, but later on in my journey I found out that was not the case. I figured out at an early age that I did not have to be a Christian to know God. This book is about my journey to find God, the people I encountered along the way and how I came to finally understand the Universal God that exists in all of us.

War Through Children's Eyes
Author: Jan T. Gross
Publisher: Hoover Press
ISBN: 9780817974732
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
On September 17, 1939, two weeks after the German invasion of Poland, Soviet troops occupied the eastern half of Poland and swiftly imposed a new political and economic order. Following a plebiscite, in early November the area was annexed to the Ukraine and Belorussia. Beginning in the winter of 1939&–40, Soviet authorities deported over one million Poles, many of them children, to various provinces of the Soviet Union. After the German attack on the USSR in summer 1941, the Polish government in exile in London received permission from its new-found ally to organize military units among the Polish deportees and later to transfer Polish civilians to camps in the British-controlled Middle East. There the children were able to attend Polish-run schools.The 120 essays translated here were selected from compositions written by the students of these schools. What makes these documents unique is the perception of these witnesses: a child's eye view of events no adult would consider worth mentioning. In simple language, filled with misspellings and grammatical errors, the children recorded their experiences, and sometimes their surprisingly mature understanding, of the invasion and the Societ occupation, the deportations eastward, and life in the work camps and kolkhozes. The horrors of life in the USSR were vivid memories; privation, hunger, disease, and death had been so frequent that they became accepted commonplaces. Moreover, as the editors point out in their introductory study, these Polish children were not alone in their suffering. All the nationalities that came under Soviet rule shared their fate.
