Tzili
by Dalya Bilu Aharon AppelfeldThe youngest, least-favored member of an Eastern European Jewish family, Tzili is considered an embarrassment by her parents and older siblings. Her schooling has been a failure, she is simple and meek, and she seems more at home with the animals in the field than with people. And so when her panic-stricken family flees the encroaching Nazi armies, Tzili is left behind to fend for herself. At first seeking refuge with the local peasants, she is eventually forced to escape from them as well, and she takes to the forest, living a solitary existence until she is discovered by another Jewish refugee, a man who is as alone in the world as she is. As she matures into womanhood, they fall in love. And though their time together is tragically brief, their love for each other imbues Tzili with the strength to survive the war and begin a new life, together with other survivors, in Palestine. Aharon Appelfeld imbues Tzili's story with a harrowing beauty that is emblematic of the fate of an entire people.ron Appelfeld imbues Tzili's story with a harrowing beauty that is emblematic of the fate of an entire people.From the Trade Paperback edition.

The U.S. Christian Right and Pro-Family Politics in 21st Century Africa
by Haley McEwenThis book will address and uncover the role of US Christian Right ‘pro-family’ groups in mobilizing counter-movements against LGBTIQ+ human rights, reproductive justice, and sexuality education in Africa, and will intervene in the tendency to exceptionalize Africa as a ‘homophobic continent’ following the surge in homophobic and transphobic legislation, hate speech, and violence in recent years. The author employs the lens of decoloniality in an intersectional manner to unpack the multiple forms of hierarchy and oppression that the concept of the nuclear family has historically worked to naturalize in the interests of capitalism, Christo-normativity, and a world system dominated and controlled by the global north. Proceeding from the historical geopolitical context informing nuclear family idealization, the analysis then presents a critical discussion of contemporary pro-family discourses, showing that pro-family narratives that universalize and politicize the notion of ‘family’ are not only constituting agendas that erode LGBTIQ+ and reproductive justice, but reinforce an international order that privileges Euro-American interests despite pro-family claims that their agendas are anti-imperialist. This book will be of interest to scholars in gender, sexuality, and queer studies; postcolonial studies; and international relations.
U.S. War-Culture, Sacrifice and Salvation (Religion And Violence Ser.)
by Kelly Denton-BorhaugThe military-industrial complex in the United States has grown exponentially in recent decades, yet the realities of war remain invisible to most Americans. The U.S has created a culture in which sacrificial rhetoric is the norm when dealing in war. This culture has been enabled because popular American Christian understandings of redemption rely so heavily on the sacrificial. 'U.S War-Culture, Sacrifice and Salvation' explores how the concept of Christian redemption has been manipulated to create a mentality of "necessary sacrifice". The study reveals the links between Christian notions of salvation and sacrifice and the aims of the military-industrial complex.
U-Turn: Restoring America to the Strength of its Roots
by David Barton George BarnaRestoring America to the Strength of its Roots The United States became a unique, prosperous, and admired nation because of its faith in God and the willingness of the people to abide by God’s standards and principles. Over time, however, the people’s urge to glorify self rather than God has seriously eroded the strength and potential of the nation. U-Turn examines current cultural trends and historical patterns to reveal that America cannot sustain its strength if it remains on its current path. Combining current research with the authors’ trademark insight and analysis, the book gives readers a unique view of the moral and spiritual condition of Americans and provides specific insights into how we can turn our nation around by focusing on: · The restoration of the family · The restoration of the Christian Church · The future activity of our government
U-Turn: What if You Woke Up One Morning and Realized You Were Living the Wrong Life?
by Bruce GriersonEvery day, in almost every field, someone perceives themselves to be on the wrong side of a psychic divide. The "second brain" in their gut tells them their life must change. Bruce Grierson draws on over 300 hundred stories of u-turners, including famous cases like Gandhi and Gauguin, as well as a host of other gripping tales of people who have risked everything to answer life's wake-up call: people who change political parties and careers, people who give up their jobs as doctors to become poets, men who become women, professional athletes who quit to spend more time with their families, mothers who quit their families to pursue careers, people who suddenly become revolutionaries for a cause they didn't care about the day before. Grierson examines the u-turn from all angles--philosophical, scientific, literary and psychological--beginning with premise that the wake-up call is the secular equivalent of the religious epiphany, the moment when a person is "born again." When does the wake-up call happen? Often in mid-life, but not always. Is it a good thing? Yes and no. Who does it happen to? Potentially any of us, under the right circumstance. Is America ready for a mass u-turn? Maybe. In chapters that address everything from the neuroscience behind epiphanies (the eureka moment) to the possibility of "forcing" a u-turn, Grierson describes and elucidates this powerful, mysterious phenomenon, and in doing so illuminates our continual struggles with life choices and identity.
U Turn to God: Destiny of the Soul
by W. L. SorrellIs it God’s will for us to just accept death as a given and ask no further questions? Are we to be left dangling in the dark about these things; left to subsist in the ever-present fear of such unannounced uncertainty – to take death as it comes without so much as batting an eyelid? Or could the opposite be true? Could God’s intent actually be for the whole human family to acknowledge death in its proper light – for us all to arrive at a point where we fully understand that which we need to, and are completely satisfied not to speculate any further as to what lays beyond it? For surely this is the line in the sand every soul needs to come to; a defining point past which there is no reason to step – a time, a place, a state of mind, a spiritual standpoint at which we stop striving and finally find rest in the arms of God’s providence.
U Turn to Jesus
by W. L. SorrellThe unavoidable question!Life can be lived two ways.One way is to walk WITH God.The other way is to walk WITHOUT Him.Which way do YOU walk?‘U turn to Jesus’ is the nuts and bolts story of Bull, an ordinary bloke completely oblivious to both the question and the consequences of the choice.True BELONGING is all about being reconnected. It is an inborn need in all of us.Struggling to find a way out of his malaise and lost, like so many of us on the road to nowhere, this is a step by step account of how Bull came to recognise and understand that without changing direction, he would never find true belonging.Why?Because, put simply, without stopping and turning around, he would never know the ONE HE TRULY BELONGED TO.
U Turn to Our Father: A Change of Heart
by W. L. SorrellAnxiety – a toxic fire which burns in the belly and fills the head with billowing plumes of stress. Never before has dread smeared itself across the minds of so many, and never before have so many yearned to be set free from its stench. U Turn to our Father draws upon the inerrancy of Scripture to show us all that to be constantly striving for a trouble-free mind through the blood, sweat, and tears of our own efforts, is in truth an act of futility. Our Father’s plan is not for us to struggle in vain to change our inner lives, but for both our inner and outer lives to be changed through the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the supernatural, sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit. The primary place this change takes effect is within the heart – not the physical heart, but the spiritual heart. For out of it spring the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23 Bathed by the Holy Spirit, it is the spiritual heart which upholds the soul – nourishing, nurturing, sustaining, and supporting all aspects of our wellbeing. U Turn to our Father – a change of heart. Not just a possibility, but a guaranteed promise from the Giver of Life. Twelve short chapters await your eyes and ears. Only by reading them will you understand why you were meant to.
U Turn to the Holy Spirit: No More Fear
by W. L. SorrellThe last thing you offer a person dying from spiritual dehydration is a list of complicated directions to some mythical watering hole in another part of the world. A longwinded book of fiction this is not. The wellspring you seek is nearer than you think. If you’re gasping, dive in!
Über den Zusammenhang von Unternehmenskultur und Architektur: Denkanstöße für Architekten, Manager und Bauherren (essentials)
by Thomas Habscheid-Führer Christian J. GrothausDie Autoren bieten in diesem essential eine kleine Reise durch die Ideen der Architekturgeschichte, die hinter der klassischen Moderne, der Postmoderne und dem architektonischen Strukturalismus stecken. Sie führen Soziologie, Architektur und Organisationstheorie zusammen mit dem Ziel, die Prämissen von Gebäuden zu erläutern, die Wissen vermehren. Die Autoren plädieren dafür, im Gebäude eine „situative Identität“ zu stiften. Dieses Konzept führt die herkömmliche, markenfixierte „Corporate Architecture“ weiter und beschreibt eine Gebäude-Performanz, die der Mitarbeiterschaft ein kooperatives und vernetztes Arbeiten erleichtert – aber nicht verordnet von oben nach unten, sondern umgekehrt. Eine lebendige und individuelle Unternehmensarchitektur zeigt sich nur, wenn sie gleichermaßen in Organisationsprozessen wie räumlichen Ausprägungen virulent ist.
Über die Normalisierung organisierter Brutalitäten: Eine organisationssoziologische Analyse der Euthanasieanstalt Hadamar (Organisationsstudien)
by Dennis FirkusDas Buch wirft eine organisationssoziologische Perspektive auf die systematisch durchgeführten Massenmorde im Rahmen der nationalsozialistischen Euthanasie in Hadamar. Anhand zahlreicher theoretisch ausgearbeiteter sowie empirisch belegter Organisationsmechanismen wird aufgezeigt, wie diese illegalen Praktiken von und für das Personal, welches nicht zum Morden ausgebildet oder anderweitig prädestiniert war, in einer außergewöhnlichen Weise „normalisiert“ wurden. Die Taten wurden somit zur legitimem Handlungserwartung, während die organisationale Einbindung gleichzeitig entsolidarisierende, entmoralisierende sowie verantwortungsentlastende Wirkung besaß.
Übersetzungspolitiken in der Frühen Neuzeit / Translation Policy and the Politics of Translation in the Early Modern Period (Übersetzungskulturen der Frühen Neuzeit #3)
by Annkathrin Koppers Felix HerberthAusgangspunkt dieses Konferenzbands im Open Access ist die Frage nach den Bedingungen, die dafür verantwortlich zeichnen, dass überhaupt und in welcher Form in der Frühen Neuzeit übersetzt wird. Anders formuliert geht es um die grundsätzliche Frage danach, warum bestimmte Texte, Bilder, Zeichenkomplexe etc. eine Übersetzung erfahren, während andere unübersetzt bleiben (müssen). Welche Faktoren nehmen schließlich – im positiven Fall – Einfluss auf die konkrete Ausgestaltung von Übersetzung im Sinne des Übertragungsprozesses von einem semiotischen und kulturellen System in ein anderes? In diesem Zusammenhang kommt ein doppeltes Politikverständnis zum Tragen: einerseits geraten Übersetzungspolitik(en) im Sinne des Konzepts der Translation Policy in den Fokus und mit ihnen soziokulturelle, ökonomische und interkulturelle Einflussfaktoren. Andererseits geht es – spezifischer – um Übersetzungen im Kontext politischer Verhandlungs- und Aushandlungsprozesse und somit um den Zusammenhang zwischen Politics und Translation. The point of departure for this conference volume is the question of what conditions are responsible for whether a translation happens at all. Why are certain texts, images, and sign systems translated while others (must) remain untranslated? And what factors influence the form a translation takes in the process of conveying words, images, or signs from one semiotic, cultural system to another? These questions concern both translation policy – that is, the socio-cultural, economic, and intercultural factors that influence translation processes – and the politics of translation in the specific context of political negotiation processes
Ubuntu and Western Monotheism: An Axiological Investigation (Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Religion)
by Kirk LougheedThis book offers a unique comparative study of ubuntu, a dominant ethical theory in African philosophy, and western monotheism. It is the first book to bring ubuntu to bear on the axiology of theism debate in contemporary analytic philosophy of religion. A large motivating force behind this book is to explore the extent to which there is intersubjective ethical agreement and disagreement between ubuntu and Western worldviews like monotheism and naturalism. First, the author assesses the various arguments for anti-theism and pro-theism on the assumption that ubuntu is true. Ubuntu’s communitarian focus might be so different from the Western tradition that it completely changes how we evaluate theism and atheism. Second, the author assesses the advantages and disadvantages of the truth of ubuntu for the world. Third and finally, he assesses the axiological status of faith for both monotheism and ubuntu. Ubuntu and Western Monotheism will be of interest to scholars and advanced students specializing in philosophy of religion, African religion and philosophy, and religious ethics.

UFO: End-Time Delusion
by David Allen LewisThe author of Prophecy 2000 shares his 39 years of research into the diabolical source of "flying saucers." Today our secularized society is so eager for quick, amazing answers. Will new hope arrive on these "chariots of the gods?" Psychics are channeling such exciting insights from alleged cosmic beings, detailing the "true" nature of God and alternate roads to salvation. Supermarket tabloids proclaim oddball messages from space. New Agers are captivated by the promise of alien cosmic enlightenment and higher intelligence from beyond the stars. So, what is really out there? Why are movies filled with wise aliens, Eastern mysticism, and New Age humanism such hits? Are we being set up for a new , false, extraterrestrial hope? Yet another alternative to the only true way - Jesus Christ?
UFO...Contact from the Pleiades (45th Anniversary Edition): Volumes I & II
by Brit Elders Lee EldersIn this forty-fifth anniversary edition, a humble, one-armed Swiss farmer named Billy Meier documents his date with destiny with hundreds of photos, videos, and written conversations with extraterrestrial visitors from the Pleiades star cluster. UFO…Contact from the Pleiades offers the inside story of one of the most remarkable and convincing extraterrestrial encounters ever reported.For the first time—forty-five years after their original publication—the two photo-journal volumes of UFO…Contact from the Pleiades are combined in one book for a modern audience, with a new foreword written by Shirley MacLaine, a prologue written by Mexican UFOlogist Jamie Maussan, and a new introduction and preface written by Brit Elders. This photo-journal presents the unique contact case of a Swiss farmer, Billy Meier, who claims to have met with the Pleiadians hundreds of times, compiling many layers of evidence including notes on their conversations, hundreds of photographs, movie footage, audio recordings of the craft, landing tracks of the spaceships, dozens of witnesses, and even metal samples of the craft itself. The quality and amount of evidence was convincing, making this unlike any case previously seen. UFO…Contact from the Pleiades takes the reader back to a time before home computers, digital photography, and easily accessible photo enhancement programs. Yet the evidence—analyzed in laboratories around the world—could not be easily dismissed, and supported the claims of the contactee, Billy Meier. The breathtaking images, profound words of the Pleiadians, and the extensive investigation that spanned seven years are as relevant today as they were forty-five years ago.
The UFO Paradox: The Celestial and Symbolic World of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena
by Keith Thompson• Looks at witnesses&’ reports as well as the theories of skeptics, revealing how UFOs represent a call from the cosmos to expand our understanding of reality• Explores UFO encounters against the backdrop of visionary experience—angelic visitations, near-death experiences, shamanic journeys, and religious miracles• Shares the author&’s UFO discussions with late Harvard psychiatrist John Mack, philanthropist Laurance S. Rockefeller, and astronaut Edgar MitchellIn case after case related to UFO encounters and other unknown aerial phenomena (UAP), the same impasse is reached: testimony from witnesses on one side, dismissive responses from the authorities on the other. In the fertile void of this deadlock, however, lie extraordinary possibilities about the nature of mind and matter, spirit and soul, transforming the UFO into a celestial, metaphysical event.Focusing on the possibilities found by exploring both sides of the UFO debate, veteran UFO observer and reporter Keith Thompson shares profound insights and experiences from his several decades of research, revealing that the UFO phenomenon is decidedly real yet perhaps not what either side of the debate expects. He looks at UFOs as a genuine unknown, from outer space or manifesting from hidden dimensions, as well as the theories of skeptics and debunkers who insist that UFOs can be explained as hoaxes, hallucinations, or misidentified phenomena. He explores the modern flying saucer era against the backdrop of visionary experience—angelic visitations, near-death experiences, shamanic journeys, religious miracles, and fairy tales—and shows how UFOs are simultaneously physical and spiritual, presenting a form of intelligence capable of altering the perceptions of witnesses.Chronicling his own investigations into the UFO mystery, the author details how he introduced the late Harvard psychiatrist John Mack to accounts of alien abduction and how he was invited by philanthropist Laurance S. Rockefeller to lobby then-president Bill Clinton to disclose government-held UFO information. Sharing stories from his friendship with astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, among others, the author recounts discussions on how best to interpret UFOs and non-ordinary phenomena of various kinds.Thompson reveals how the UFO phenomenon ultimately represents a call from the cosmos for humanity to open to greater dimensions of reality and recognize that our understanding of the universe is still far from complete.
UFO Religions
by Christopher PartridgeThe spectre of the UFO, as popularized by shows such as The X-Files, has brought an astonishing slant to the face of modern religious practice. But what motivates the fantastical and sometimes sinister beliefs of UFO worshippers? UFO Religions critically examines some of the fascinating issues surrounding UFO worship - abduction narratives, UFO-based interpretations of other religions, the growth of pseudo-sciences purporting to explain UFOs, and the responses of the core scientific community to such claims. Focusing on contemporary global UFO groups including the Raelian Movement, Heaven's Gate, Unarius and the Ansaaru Allah Community, it gives a clear profile of modern UFO controversies and beliefs.
UFOs, Ghosts, And A Rising God: Debunking The Resurrection Of Jesus
by Christopher HallquistAt the dawn of the 21st century, interest in the origins of Christianity is as strong as ever. However, discussion tends to be dominated by Evangelicals who assume that the Bible is a historically accurate record, and those who would turn Jesus into a New Age guru. There is also a frequent insistence that the questions surrounding the origins of Christianity are beyond rational analysis. In UFOs, Ghosts, and a Rising God, Chris Hallquist examines what investigations of similar upstart cults have revealed, and then applies these revelations to the origins of the world's largest religion.

Im Jahr 1968 brach Erich von Däniken eine Tür auf, durch die Millionen von Neugierigen mit Verwunderung und möglicherweise auch etwas Fassungslosigkeit geschaut haben. Jetzt, auf den Schultern dieses Riesen stehend, wird die Tür von Ken Goudsward in dieser erstaunlichen neuen Untersuchung der Heiligen Schrift weit aufgestoßen, wobei er eine beispiellose hebräische Exegese nutzt, um nicht weniger als 30 außerirdische Begegnungen auf den Seiten des meistverkauften Buches aller Zeiten zu enthüllen. In einer Zeit des Scheidewegs zwischen Enthüllung und Verschwörung war die Bibel noch nie so relevant wie heute.

Uhrautumisen Voima
by Gabriel AgboUhrautumiset ovat tehokkaita. Erittäin tehokkaita! Rikkain mies, vahvin mies, kaikkein siunatuimmat miehet ja naiset, viisaimmat, mahtavin kuningas, kaikkein vaikutusvaltaisimmat profeetat olivat uhrautuvia miehiä ja naisia. He antoivat kaiken, riskeerasivat kaiken kansansa vuoksi, inhimillisyyden ja Jumalan vuoksi saavuttaakseen tavoitteensa ja urotyönsä, josta jopa ikuisuus olisi ylpeä. Jos haluat tulla mahtavaksi, sinun täytyy ensin tulla uhrautuvaksi mieheksi/naiseksi. Kaikki on mahdollista niille, jotka pystyvät maksamaan hinnan. Tulet huomaamaan näiden hyvin paljastavien lukujen - Uhrautumisen Voima, Uhraa Vain Omasi, Kuljen Egyptin Kautta, Maksan Hinnan, Seuraa Minua! Tulimme Sinun Vuoksi, Minä suojelen Sinua, Keitä Viimeinen Ateria, Pelastamisen Voima, Ylistäminen, Rukous ja Paasto. Emme ole vain keskustelleet Raamatun suurten miesten ja naisten uhrauksista ja kuinka heidän tekonsa tekivät heistä suuria, vaan myös sellaisista ihmisistä kuin Israelin 'Yoni' Netanyahu; nuori israelilainen, joka johti kommandoyksikköä pelastamaan juutalaiset panttivangit, joita pidettiin Entebben lentokentällä heidän koneensa tultua kaapatuksi ja ohjatuksi Ugandaan vuonna 1976. Katselimme myös joitakin meidän sotasankareita, erityisesti Erikoisjoukkojen - kuten SEAL, Delta -yksikkö. Nämä miehet antoivat kaikkensa, riskeerasivat jatkuvasti kaiken, myös elämänsä puolustaakseen kansaansa ja inhimillisyyttä. He uhrasivat elämänsä suojellakseen muita. Jeesus sanoi, että suurin uhraus ihmiselle on, että antaa oman henkensä toisten vuoksi. Me osoitamme kunnioituksemme heille. He opettavat meille mitä uhrautumisen pitäisi olla. Jeesus kertoi, että mikä uhraus on suurempi kuin mies, joka antaa henkensä ystäviensä vuoksi? Me ylistämme heidän rohkeuttaan ja äärimmäistä isänmaallisuutta. Tässä, me opimme uskon uhrauksista, ystävällisyydestä, isänmaallisuudesta, rukouksesta, paastoamisesta ja ylistämisest�
