Good Mourning: Moving Through Everyday Losses with Wisdom from the Other Side
by Theresa CaputoTheresa Caputo, TLC’s Long Island Medium and the three-time New York Times bestselling author, teaches us how to ritualize and recover from the daily losses in our lives.Life on earth comes with losses that often go unrecognized, unacknowledged, and un-mourned. This invisible pain causes deeper emotional damage— devastation that Theresa Caputo has witnessed in many of her clients. Though they are suffering, they rarely understand where the anguish is coming from—or how to deal with it. Theresa’s clients often confuse their emotional distress with depression or anxiety. But it’s more than that. It’s grief, deep and profound, and it consumes the soul. The only relief, according to Theresa’s special gift she calls Spirit, is to pay more attention to how we experience, ritualize, and recover from the hurt in our lives.Once we name these feelings of grief, recognize the losses for what they are, and create mourning rituals around them, we can move through the pain and begin to heal. It isn’t just a good idea to mourn these types of upsets; it’s essential, so that we can then enjoy a fresh beginning.
Good Muslim, Bad Muslim: America, the Cold War, and the Roots of Terror
by Mahmood MamdaniIn this brilliant look at the rise of political Islam, the distinguished political scientist and anthropologist Mahmood Mamdani brings his expertise and insight to bear on a question many Americans have been asking since 9/11: how did this happen? Mamdani dispels the idea of “good” (secular, westernized) and “bad” (premodern, fanatical) Muslims, pointing out that these judgments refer to political rather than cultural or religious identities. The presumption that there are “good” Muslims readily available to be split off from “bad” Muslims masks a failure to make a political analysis of our times. This book argues that political Islam emerged as the result of a modern encounter with Western power, and that the terrorist movement at the center of Islamist politics is an even more recent phenomenon, one that followed America’s embrace of proxy war after its defeat in Vietnam. Mamdani writes with great insight about the Reagan years, showing America’s embrace of the highly ideological politics of “good” against “evil. ” Identifying militant nationalist governments as Soviet proxies in countries such as Nicaragua and Afghanistan, the Reagan administration readily backed terrorist movements, hailing them as the “moral equivalents” of America’s Founding Fathers. The era of proxy wars has come to an end with the invasion of Iraq. And there, as in Vietnam, America will need to recognize that it is not fighting terrorism but nationalism, a battle that cannot be won by occupation. Good Muslim, Bad Muslimis a provocative and important book that will profoundly change our understanding both of Islamist politics and the way America is perceived in the world today.
Good Neighbors, Bad Times Revisited: New Echoes of My Father's German Village
by Mimi SchwartzMimi Schwartz&’s father was born Jewish in a tiny German village thirty years before the advent of Hitler when, as he&’d tell her, &“We all got along.&” In her original memoir, Good Neighbors, Bad Times, Schwartz explored how human decency fared among Christian and Jewish neighbors before, during, and after Nazi times. Ten years after its publication, a letter arrived from a man named Max Sayer in South Australia. Sayer, it turns out, grew up Catholic in the village during the Third Reich and in 1937 moved into an abandoned Jewish home five houses away from where the family of Schwartz&’s father had lived for generations before fleeing to America a few months earlier. The two families had never met. Sayer wrote an unpublished memoir about his childhood memories and in Schwartz&’s new edition, Good Neighbors, Bad Times Revisited, the two memoirs talk to each other. Weaving excerpts from Sayer&’s memoir and from a yearlong correspondence with him into her book, Schwartz revisits village history from a new perspective, deepening our understanding of decency and demonization. Given the rise of xenophobia, white supremacy, and anti-Semitism in the world today, this exploration seems more urgent than ever.

Good News For All People: Studies In The Gospel Of Luke
by Timothy J. Geddert“Watch out Rome, the Christians are coming! Your powerful armies, your so-called Pax Romana – these are no match for the power of love and self-sacrifice that Jesus unleashed when he came to bring God’s salvation, establish God’s reign, and send his followers into the world to proclaim and to embody the greatest news the world has ever known. No earthly kingdom can stand in the face of such good news.” So we might summarize the message of Luke’s Gospel. It is a message that spreads hope, that transforms life. And it speaks as powerfully to the downtrodden, to the empires, and to the ordinary folk of our world as it did 2000 years ago. We are invited to listen, to study, and to pass on the good news. It also has the power to change our world. Good News for All People follows the Luminaire Studies pattern of recording The Text, identifying the literary form and train of thought in The Flow and Form of the Text, exploring and expounding on this passage in The Text Explained, building a bridge between the original context of Romans and our own day in the Implications of the Text for Today and provoking reflection in the Personal Reflection questions. Luminaire Studies are designed for the discerning reader and student of the Scriptures. Written in narrative style, the material is suitable for personal study or group interaction. Join Tim Geddert and be inspired and challenged by Luke’s amazing portrait of Jesus and presentation of Jesus’s mission and ours.
