A companion to the documentary Americans with No Address and the full-length theatrical movie No Address (starring Ashanti, William Baldwin, Beverly D&’Angelo, and Xander Berkeley), this study teaches participants: The root causes of different types of homelessness. How to engage rather than enable. The importance of collaboration among existing agencies. How to mobilize their church to follow Jesus&’ call to serve. Each session includes: Facts, true stories, and background about the people who experience homelessness in America. QR code for quick link to online videos. Discussion questions for churches and small groups. Perspective from the Bible. &“Go and Do&” action steps. Ideas for further resources. Prayer prompts and reflection questions. The government can&’t solve homelessness alone. The nonprofit sector can&’t solve it alone. But neighbors loving neighbors, working together, can make a difference for the people who are experiencing homelessness in America. No Address equips Christians to lead the way.

No Atheists in Foxholes: Reflections and Prayers from the Front
by Patrick McLaughlinExperience gripping wartime stories and honest prayers by this Camp David chaplain now serving in Iraq. When words mean less and less, but money talks more and more; when blasphemy is a best seller, and eternal war has replaced hopeful diplomacy; in times like these is prayer even possible? Patrick J. McLaughlin thinks so. McLaughlin is an active duty Navy Chaplain who has ministered to heads of state and to soldiers living and dying in the heat of Iraq. No Atheists in Foxholes assembles Chaplain McLaughlin's experiences and prayers from e-mails, private notes, and personal conversations that take us real-time into realms of duty and spirit: from the quiet darkness of his infant son's New England bedroom on September 11, 2001, to the bomshelled medical tents and blistered Army Humvees of Anbar Province. Chaplain McLaughlin believes that prayer is not only possible, but critical. "We must all learn to pray for peace," he says, "and then become an answer to that prayer."

No Beginning, No End
by Jakusho Kwong RoshiIn No Beginning, No End, Zen master Jakusho Kwong-roshi shows us how to treasure the ordinary activities of our daily lives through an understanding of simple Buddhist practices and ideas. The author's spontaneous, poetic, and pragmatic teachings--so reminiscent of his spiritual predecessor Shunryu Suzuki (Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind)--transport us on an exciting journey into the very heart of Zen and its meaningful traditions. Because Kwong-roshi can transmit the most intimate thing in the most accessible way, we learn how to ignite our own vitality, wisdom, and compassion and awaken a feeling of intimacy with the world. It is like having a conversation with our deepest and wisest self.Jakusho Kwong-roshi was originally inspired to study Zen because of zenga, the ancient art of Zen calligraphy. Throughout this book he combines examples of his unique style with less well-known stories from the Zen tradition, personal anecdotes--including moving and humorous stories of his training with Suzuki-roshi--and his own lucid and inspiring teachings to draw all readers into this intimate expression of the enlightening world of Zen: the world of who we are.From the Hardcover edition.
No Better Home?: Jews, Canada, and the Sense of Belonging
by David S. KoffmanThis book begins with an audacious question: Has there ever been a better home for Jews than Canada? By certain measures, Canada might be the most socially welcoming, economically secure, and religiously tolerant country for Jews in the diaspora, past or present. No Better Home? takes this question seriously, while also exploring the many contested meanings of the idea of "home." Contributors to the volume include leading scholars of Canadian Jewish life as well as eminent Jewish scholars writing about Canada for the first time. The essays compare Canadian Jewish life with the quality of life experienced by Jews in other countries, examine Jewish and non-Jewish interactions in Canada, analyse specific historical moments and literary texts, reflect deeply personal histories, and widen the conversation about the quality and timbre of the Canadian Jewish experience. No Better Home? foregrounds Canadian Jewish life and ponders all that the Canadian experience has to teach about Jewish modernity.
No Birds of Passage: A History of Gujarati Muslim Business Communities, 1800–1975
by Michael O’SullivanA sweeping account of three Gujarati Muslim trading communities, whose commercial success over nearly two centuries sheds new light on the history of capitalism, Islam, and empire in South Asia.During the nineteenth century, three Gujarati Muslim commercial castes—the Bohras, Khojas, and Memons—came to dominate Muslim business in South Asia. Although these communities constitute less than 1 percent of South Asia’s Muslim population, they are still disproportionately represented among the region’s leading Muslim-owned firms today. In No Birds of Passage, Michael O’Sullivan argues that the conditions enabling their success have never been understood, thanks to stereotypes—embraced equally by colonial administrators and Muslim commentators—that estrange them from their religious identity. Yet while long viewed as Hindus in all but name, or as “Westernized” Muslims who embraced colonial institutions, these groups in fact entwined economic prerogatives and religious belief in a distinctive form of Muslim capitalism.Following entrepreneurial firms from Gujarat to the Hijaz, Hong Kong, Mombasa, Rangoon, and beyond, O’Sullivan reveals the importance of kinship networks, private property, and religious obligation to their business endeavors. This paradigm of Muslim capitalism found its highest expression in the jamaats, the central caste institutions of each community, which combined South Asian, Islamicate, and European traditions of corporate life. The jamaats also played an essential role in negotiating the position of all three groups in relation to British authorities and Indian Muslim nationalists, as well as the often-sharp divisions within the castes themselves.O’Sullivan’s account sheds light on Gujarati Muslim economic life from the dawn of colonial hegemony in India to the crisis of the postcolonial state, and provides fascinating insights into the broader effects of capitalist enterprise on Muslim experience in modern South Asia.

No Cure for Being Human: (And Other Truths I Need to Hear)
by Kate BowlerIt’s hard to give up on the feeling that the life you really want is just out of reach. A beach body by summer. A trip to Disneyland around the corner. A promotion on the horizon. Everyone wants to believe that they are headed toward good, better, best. But what happens when the life you hoped for is put on hold indefinitely? <p><p> Kate Bowler believed that life was a series of unlimited choices, until she discovered, at age 35, that her body was wracked with cancer. In No Cure for Being Human, she searches for a way forward as she mines the wisdom (and absurdity) of today’s “best life now” advice industry, which insists on exhausting positivity and on trying to convince us that we can out-eat, out-learn, and out-perform our humanness. <p><p> We are, she finds, as fragile as the day we were born. With dry wit and unflinching honesty, Kate Bowler grapples with her diagnosis, her ambition, and her faith as she tries to come to terms with her limitations in a culture that says anything is possible. She finds that we need one another if we’re going to tell the truth: Life is beautiful and terrible, full of hope and despair and everything in between—and there’s no cure for being human.
No Darker Rooms
by A. Morgan DerhamThis story is the outcome of the author&’s enthusiasm for a great English Puritan scholar, author and theologian, an outstanding man of Cromwell&’s day, Richard Baxter.Ordained in 1683, Baxter became minister at Kidderminster in 1641, the scene of the action in this book. Mr. Baxter was Chaplain to Cromwell&’s army for two years. He also learned what suffering and persecution meant and was imprisoned for eighteen months at one time, without succumbing to panthophobia. Many are the Christians who have been blessed and sustained by his Saints&’ Everlasting Rest; also convicted by his Call to the Unconverted. This is reading based squarely on historical personages and facts. Its main theme—Baxter&’s falling in love and marriage—is fact. Parts of his famous addresses are quoted.The author&’s personal research on the subject, subsequent to the writing of the manuscript and in preparation for some lecture work, confirmed that many of the incidents related, as well as the main theme, have factual basis. The attempted murder in the churchyard, for instance, was paralleled by a similar deed committed by a drunkard who had been subjected to certain church discipline.Those who appreciate &“meat&” with their &“cake&” in their fictional repast will find this a book to their liking, and so we shall leave it to speak for itself! You might wish to tell the publishers how you like it; if so, do it by all means.

No debería ser así: Saca fuerzas cuando te sientas vencida
by Lisa Terkeurst¿Qué hacer cuando el tiempo de Dios parece ser cuestionable, su falta de intervención te lastima y sus promesas son inciertas? La vida a menudo se presenta muy diferente a lo que habíamos esperado o soñado. Algunos acontecimientos nos toman con la guardia baja por solo un momento, pero otros nos sacuden por completo. Nos sentimos desilusionadas o decepcionadas y, en silencio, comenzamos a preguntarnos acerca de la veracidad de la bondad de Dios. Lysa TerKeurst lo sabe. Pero también descubrió que nuestras desilusiones pueden ser instancias divinas que nuestra alma necesita para tener un encuentro radical con Dios. En No debería ser así, Lysa nos invita a recorrer su camino de fe y, con astucia, vulnerabilidad y humor, nos ayuda a ver nuestra vida en el contexto de la historia mayor de Dios. Ya sea que estemos lidiando con desilusiones de la vida cotidiana o con una pérdida que alteró toda nuestra existencia, podemos hallar una fuerza inesperada al aprender lo que significa debatirnos entre nuestra fe y nuestros sentimientos. #Lysa confronta con una vulnerabilidad asombrosa diferencias, a menudo brutales, entre la vida que tenemos y la que esperamos tener. [#], permite que este libro te dirija al plan de Dios, a una manera completamente nueva de ser humano. No querrás recuperar tu vieja vida: hay algo mucho mejor que eso#. #LEVI LUSKO, pastor de Fresh Life Church; autor de los libros Swipe Right y A través de los ojos del león.
