About the Book The Healing Desert: In the Sands of Time As a cancer survivor, I can tell you that I would not be where I am today without my deep faith in the power of the almighty God. Along with my personal story of healing and spiritual development, I have tried to put my feelings into poems, and I pray that you will be able to capture the messages in between, knowing that our God never fails us. Too often, we are crushed, broken, and spilled out, and we never understand why it's all happening. Have you ever asked yourself the following? Why do I suffer so much? Why do I always have to carry a burden? Yet Jesus promised, "Come to Me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). The Healing Desert is here to show you how to develop your trust and faith in the Lord, and how He is going to bring about positive change in your life. Are you ready to receive a first-hand account of God's miracles and wondrous works? If your answer is yes, then I encourage you to take a journey with me through this Healing Desert: In the Sands of Time while we ponder this mystery: Do I really know and understand God's love for me? Tuesday October 8, 2013, 5.30 am Feast of St Denis & Companions, Martyrs I finished reading this book written by Mrs. Mona Hadeed this morning. I found the material compelling reading, and at times it brought tears to my eyes. This is a true story, a very human story of Mona, her life, joys, sorrows and struggles. But with sound faith in God, Mona overcame the impossible! To God be all the Glory. Fr Michael Hayden Parish Priest, St Finbar's Roman Catholic Church
Holy Land? draws us into the evocative landscape of the Holy Land itself. Sacred yet scarred, the lands of the Bible stimulate us to think about a range of issues that are both urgent and timeless. In Jerusalem, 'a veritable melting pot of cultures', we meditate on the question, 'What is home?' At the River Jordan, where John the Baptist delivered his radical call to repentance and baptism, we ask, 'Who am I?' In the cave of Christ's burial and resurrection in the Holy Sepulchre, we wonder, 'How can I face the darkness?' Confronted by the vast desolation of the desert, we cry, 'Dare I be alone with God?' And negotiating the obstacle-strewn Road to Emmaus, we consider, 'Am I ready for change?' Holy Land? will benefit those preparing to undertake a physical pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and those seeking a spiritual resource to deepen the life of faith and discipleship.

Healing the Land and the Nation by Sandra M. Sufian Pdf
A novel inquiry into the sociopolitical dimensions of public medicine, Healing the Land and the Nation traces the relationships between disease, hygiene, politics, geography, and nationalism in British Mandatory Palestine between the world wars. Taking up the case of malaria control in Jewish-held lands, Sandra Sufian illustrates how efforts to thwart the disease were intimately tied to the project of Zionist nation-building, especially the movement’s efforts to repurpose and improve its lands. The project of eradicating malaria also took on a metaphorical dimension—erasing anti-Semitic stereotypes of the “parasitic” Diaspora Jew and creating strong, healthy Jews in Palestine. Sufian shows that, in reclaiming the land and the health of its people in Palestine, Zionists expressed key ideological and political elements of their nation-building project. Taking its title from a Jewish public health mantra, Healing the Land and the Nation situates antimalarial medicine and politics within larger colonial histories. By analyzing the science alongside the politics of Jewish settlement, Sufian addresses contested questions of social organization and the effects of land reclamation upon the indigenous Palestinian population in a decidedly innovative way. The book will be of great interest to scholars of the Middle East, Jewish studies, and environmental history, as well as to those studying colonialism, nationalism, and public health and medicine.

A pilgrim spirituality for Holy Land travel, Jerusalem Bound resources the Christian traveler with biblical, historical, and contemporary images of the pilgrim life. Integrating historical sources, on-the-ground experience, and the voices of global pilgrims, Jerusalem Bound presents a fresh approach to pilgrimage, explores pilgrim identity and the Holy Land experience, offers ideas for Holy Land travel, and encourages pilgrims to focus upon the Other as much as themselves. Unique among Holy Land resources, Jerusalem Bound discusses material that is seldom addressed on a Holy Land journey: the motives of Holy Land pilgrims, the history of the Christian Holy Land, understanding the holy sites, pilgrim practices, material objects, and the challenges of Holy Land pilgrimage. Emphasizing the incarnational nature of lived experience, the book encourages pilgrims to derive meaning in both the highs and lows of religious travel. Attentive to the transformational nature of pilgrimage, Jerusalem Bound is ultimately interested in Christian formation and the aftermath of the Holy Land journey.
In Israel, as in numerous countries of the global North, Filipina women have been recruited in large numbers for domestic work, typically as live-in caregivers for the elderly. The case of Israel is unique in that the country has a special significance as the ‘Holy Land’ for the predominantly devout Christian Filipina women and is at the center of an often violent conflict, which affects Filipinos in many ways. In the literature, migrant domestic workers are often described as being subject to racial discrimination, labour exploitation and exclusion from mainstream society. Here, the author provides a more nuanced account and shows how Filipina caregivers in Israel have succeeded in creating their own collective spaces, as well as negotiating rights and belonging. While maintaining transnational ties and engaging in border-crossing journeys, these women seek to fulfill their dreams of a better life. During this process, new socialities and subjectivities emerge that point to a form of global citizenship in the making, consisting of greater social, economic and political rights within a highly gendered and racialized global economy.

A pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1998 involved going to places which have remained largely unchanged since before Jesus walked upon the earth; and a visit to the Holy Land can but enrich a love of the Gospels by going to where Jesus was conceived, to where He was born, to where He prayed and carried out His ministry as the Messiah. As someone who has personally experienced the healing power of the Risen Christ, it is especially meaningful to have stood where Jesus transformed peoples? lives through His miracles and preaching. It is inspiring to recall His Passion and Cross, treading the Via Dolorosa, following Jesus? footsteps to where, after His Crucifixion, He was to rise from the dead. Our faith in these mysteries can be strengthened by letting such wonders speak to us as we take in many sacred images, contemplating their Gospel accounts. In these holy places we can as if get nearer to God; the journey through this book is a journey which retraces the footsteps of Jesus in His own land, encouraging us, wherever we are, in our daily walk with Him.
The Charisma of Distant Places by Courtney Luckhardt Pdf
This cultural history of early medieval travel and religion reveals how movement affected society, demonstrating the connectedness of people and regions between 500 and 850 CE. In The Charisma of Distant Places, Courtney Luckhardt enriches our understanding of migration through her examination of religious movement. Vertical links to God and horizontal links to distant regions identified religious travelers – both men and women – as holy, connected to the human and the divine across physical and spiritual distances. Using textual sources, material culture, and place studies, this project is among the first to contextualize the geographic and temporal movement of early medieval people to reveal the diversity of religious travel, from the voluntary journeys of pilgrims to the forced travel of Christian slaves. Luckhardt offers new ways of understanding ideas about power, holiness, identity, and mobility during the transformation of the Roman world in the global Middle Ages. By focusing on the religious dimensions of early medieval people and the regions they visited, this book addresses probing questions, including how and why medieval people communicated and connected with one another across boundaries, both geographical and imaginative.
