Founded upon God's Word, its focus is the verse in 1 Peter: "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps." Because of a sudden and upsetting incident which disrupted the Sunday morning worship service of a small congregation, the world has been set aglow for Christ.

In History's Grip: Philip Roth's Newark Trilogy
by Michael KimmageIn History's Gripconcentrates on the literature of Philip Roth, one of America's greatest writers, and in particular onAmerican Pastoral,I Married a Communist, andThe Human Stain. Each of these novels from the 1990s uses Newark, New Jersey, to explore American history and character. Each features a protagonist who grows up in and then leaves Newark, after which he is undone by a historically generated crisis. The city's twentieth-century decline from immigrant metropolis to postindustrial disaster completes the motif of history and its terrifying power over individual destiny. In History's Gripis the first critical study to foreground the city of Newark as the source of Roth's inspiration, and to scrutinize a subject Roth was accused of avoiding as a younger writer-history. In so doing, the book brings together the two halves of Roth's decades-long career: the first featuring characters who live outside of history's grip; the second, characters entrapped in historical patterns beyond their ken and control.
In Hitler's Shadow: An Israeli's Amazing Journey Inside Germany's Neo-Nazi Movement
by Nick Taylor Yaron SvoraySvoray to be a sympathetic American and not realizing he was Jewish, introduced him to the semisecret world of German neo-Nazism. In a short time, Svoray contacted the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles and, with the center's backing, returned to Germany under the name of "Ron Furey," the American representative of a fictitious right-wing organization. So began a remarkable and shocking series of encounters between Svoray and members of Germany's neo-Nazi underground. Putting himself at great personal risk and constantly fearing that his identity would be discovered, Svoray met-and documented with hidden cameras and recording devices-a terrifying array of believers both young and old whose reach, he was shocked to find out, extends throughout Germany and beyond. He came across brutal young skinheads; paramilitary training camps that have sent neo-Nazi fighters to support Croatian soldiers in the former Yugoslavia; a network of committed neo-Nazis who are using their money and connections to establish political organizations; and politicians of the far right who cloak their connections to the movement in nationalist rhetoric. In Hitler's Shadow is a sobering report on the real threat that is posed by Germany's neo-Nazi movement, and a startling portrayal of the dangerous personalities behind it, told by a man of immense courage who has penetrated its heart of darkness. YARON SVORAY has been a paratrooper in the Israeli Defense Force and a detective in Israel's Central Police Command, and is currently an investigative journalist. He lives in Israel. NICK TAYLOR is the author of four previous works of nonfiction: Bass Wars, Sins of the Father, Ordinary Miraclesand A Necessary End. He lives in New York.
In Honor of Fadime: Murder and Shame
by Unni WikanIn 2002 young Fadime Sahindal was brutally murdered by her own father. She belonged to a family of Kurdish immigrants who had lived in Sweden for almost two decades. But Fadime’s relationship with a man outside of their community had deeply dishonored her family, and only her death could remove the stain. This abhorrent crime shocked the world, and her name soon became a rallying cry in the struggle to combat so-called honor killings. Unni Wikan narrates Fadime’s heartbreaking story through her own eloquent words, along with the testimonies of her father, mother, and two sisters. What unfolds is a tale of courage and betrayal, loyalty and love, power and humiliation, and a nearly unfathomable clash of cultures. Despite enduring years of threats over her emancipated life, Fadime advocated compassion for her killer to the end, believing him to be trapped by an unyielding code of honor. Wikan puts this shocking event in context by analyzing similar honor killings throughout Europe, Canada, and the United States. She also examines the concept of honor in historical and cross-cultural depth, concluding that Islam itself is not to blame—indeed, honor killings occur across religious and ethnic traditions—but rather the way that many cultures have resolutely linked honor with violence. In Honor of Fadime holds profound and timely insights into conservative Kurdish culture, but ultimately the heart of this powerful book is Fadime’s courageous and tragic story—and Wikan’s telling of it is riveting.

In Jerusalem: Three Generations of an Israeli Family and a Palestinian Family
by Lis HarrisA fresh lens on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that examines the life-shaping reverberations of wars and ongoing tensions upon the everyday lives of families in Jerusalem.An American, secular, diasporic Jew, Lis Harris grew up with the knowledge of the historical wrongs done to Jews. In adulthood, she developed a growing awareness of the wrongs they in turn had done to the Palestinian people. This gave her an intense desire to understand how the Israelis' history led them to where they are now. However, she found that top-down political accounts and insider assessments made the people most affected seem like chess pieces. What she wanted was to register the effects of the country's seemingly never-ending conflict on the lives of successive generations. Shuttling back and forth over ten years between East and West Jerusalem, Harris learned about the lives of two families: the Israeli Pinczowers/Ezrahis and the Palestinian Abuleils. She came to know members of each family--young and old, religious and secular, male and female. As they shared their histories with her, she looked at how each family survived the losses and dislocations that defined their lives; how, in a region where war and its threat were part of the very air they breathed, they gave children hope for their future; and how the adults' understanding of the conflict evolved over time. Combining a decade of historical research with political analysis, Harris creates a moving portrait of one of the most complicated and controversial conflicts of our time.

In Letter and In Spirit
by Michael KlautkyEver since Martin Luther penned his thoughts in "The Bondage of the Will", Christians have debated over the level of self-determination found in Man. A debate not restricted to the Christian Community alone, but vigorously argued within the Secular realm as well. This book was written to encourage fellow believers, including those still sitting on the fence, not to be polarized by divergent biblical views (which sadly it too often does), but rather critically review what our own understanding is. It motivates as much a self-test and confrontation to review our own ingrained tradition, as well as challenges us not to lean only on tradition - on what was heard and how one was brought up in forming our own paradigm for life. To this end the reader will begin a journey that throws light on matters of the disposition of the heart, motive, temperament and other factors that deeply influence our thinking, and thereby shapes our tradition. It is a call to find what we believe of scripture not only to line up with the Word, but also with the Spirit it was written in. At first glance this would appear an obvious calling, but many do not make it. This book will resonate with the Christian and any who are willing to introspect on the human condition, and why it is we think, believe, and behave the way we do.
In Lieu of Flowers: A Conversation for the Living
by Nancy Howard CobbA thought-provoking exploration of life's most profound transition • With candor and refreshing perspective, Nancy Cobb infuses the oft-avoided subject of death with light, presenting it as a natural process to be honored rather than feared. "This meditation on grieving is personal and persuasive — sustenance for the mind and the soul." —Wally Lamb, #1 New York Times bestselling author &“An elegant book ... that lets readers know they aren&’t alone.&”—The Wall Street Journal&“Grieving is as natural as breathing, for if we have lived and loved, surely we will grieve. . . .&” Nancy Cobb meets death in the most vital of places—in the lives of everyday people—and in doing so has found a way to make the darkest of subjects more approachable, and the deaths of those she has loved—and death itself—a subject to explore rather than to avoid. Cobb's personal experiences become a point of departure for what amounts to a deeper conversation about loss. She shares moments of her own mourning and draws others into the conversation as well: among them, a bank teller who still dreams of her deceased grandmother, two small children who bury a wild bird in its final nest beneath a maple tree, and a hospice nurse who acts as an end-of-life midwife. Cobb invites us to explore death through the shared humanity of everyday people, allowing their voices to demystify the inevitable while offering solace. Whether you are mourning a loved one, caring for someone at the end of life, or seeking wisdom on this universal experience, In Lieu of Flowers is a deeply comforting companion. Its gentle candor and hard-won insights will inspire you to embrace grief fully while finding light in life's final transition.

In Love with the World: A Monk's Journey Through the Bardos of Living and Dying
by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche Helen TworkovA rare, intimate account of a world-renowned Buddhist monk’s near-death experience and the life-changing wisdom he gained from it“One of the most inspiring books I have ever read.”—Pema Chödrön, author of When Things Fall Apart“This book has the potential to change the reader’s life forever.”—George Saunders, author of Lincoln in the BardoAt thirty-six years old, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche was a rising star within his generation of Tibetan masters and the respected abbot of three monasteries. Then one night, telling no one, he slipped out of his monastery in India with the intention of spending the next four years on a wandering retreat, following the ancient practice of holy mendicants. His goal was to throw off his titles and roles in order to explore the deepest aspects of his being. He immediately discovered that a lifetime of Buddhist education and practice had not prepared him to deal with dirty fellow travelers or the screeching of a railway car. He found he was too attached to his identity as a monk to remove his robes right away or to sleep on the Varanasi station floor, and instead paid for a bed in a cheap hostel. But when he ran out of money, he began his life as an itinerant beggar in earnest. Soon he became deathly ill from food poisoning—and his journey took a startling turn. His meditation practice had prepared him to face death, and now he had the opportunity to test the strength of his training. In this powerful and unusually candid account of the inner life of a Buddhist master, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche offers us the invaluable lessons he learned from his near-death experience. By sharing with readers the meditation practices that sustain him, he shows us how we can transform our fear of dying into joyful living.Praise for In Love with the World “Vivid, compelling . . . This book is a rarity in spiritual literature: Reading the intimate story of this wise and devoted Buddhist monk directly infuses our own transformational journey with fresh meaning, luminosity, and life.”—Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge “In Love with the World is a magnificent story—moving and inspiring, profound and utterly human. It will certainly be a dharma classic.”—Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart “This book makes me think enlightenment is possible.”—Russell Brand
