Joining the Army That Sheds No Blood by Susan Clemmer Steiner Pdf

Jesus wants YOU to join a great company of peacemakers-an army that sheds no blood. This book reviews what the Bible says about peacemaking and tells the stories of Christian peacemakers through the centuries. Jesus is God's most important clue to peace, so we spend a lot of time with him. But, we also explore how Jesus connects with God's purposes at creation, with war in the Old Testament, with our responsibility to government, and with the realities of life in a nuclear age. We discuss practical issues young peacemakers are facing-career choices, military service, the nuclear arms race, and war taxes. Joel Kauffman's new cartoon strip, Pontius' Puddle, featuring a pair of precocious frogs, provides pungent perspectives on peacemaking throughout the book.

No Strings Attached by Rachel Nafziger Hartzler Pdf

No Strings Attached is the story of a Mennonite congregation in Indiana that existed for eighty-six years. The congregation began during the social and religious turmoil of the 1920s when some Mennonites in North America held to rigid doctrines and ethics implemented by central authority, and others operated with a congregational polity and became more assimilated into secular culture. The struggle between these two different understandings of faithfulness was most passionately played out in northern Indiana. Placing the narrative of this congregation within the context of 500 years of Mennonite history illustrates the grace and the tension that has both beset and empowered a unique group of people who began as radical reformers. Although no strings attached refers to the women's headwear during the 1920s, which had no strings, it could also be the story of the pastor eating lunch on the peak of the steep roof of the church building! Reflecting on stories of these Mennonite people is an invitation to move into the future with courageous hope. Believing and behaving differently has not prevented Middlebury Mennonites from treating each other respectfully, living in a community of love, joy, and peace, and offering God's healing and hope to each other and to the world.

Mustang: A Novel of World War II by John J. Dwyer Pdf

An American Odyssey of War and Faith Climb into the cockpit with Dust Bowl farm boy Lance Roark as he arrives in England commanding a B-17 Flying Fortress at the height of World War II. A prologue, 2017’s Will Rogers Medallion Gold Medal winner, Shortgrass, set the stage for young Lance as he made the crucial decision following the bombing of Pearl Harbor to depart from the pacifist doctrine of his Mennonite upbringing and go to war. Now, still cheerful and pious, he and his best friend, famed Oklahoma Sooner Waddy Young, tackle a new opponent—history’s most fearsome air armada, the German Luftwaffe, which has bested every other force that has dared confront them. Audacious, cool under fire, and a born aviator, Lance piles up the missions and decorations and somehow survives to complete his tour of duty—barely. Even as he gains renown as a relentless air warrior, though, his lifelong faith is shaken as the body count of those around him mounts. Driven by a desire for vengeance against his enemies, he turns down service back Stateside to return to battle in one of America’s sensational new P-51 Mustang fighter planes. As the greatest aerial war in history rages in the skies over bleeding Europe, Lance hits a low-point in his life just as a terrifying new adversary appears to challenge him. Pushed to the breaking point, he will need every bit of skill and experience he can muster in an unforgettable showdown over Dresden in the war’s most legendary air raid.

Rivalries that Destroyed the Roman Republic by Jeremiah McCall Pdf

This is the story of how some Roman aristocrats grew so competitive in their political rivalries that they destroyed their Republic, in the late second to mid-first century BCE. Politics had always been a fractious game at Rome as aristocratic competitors strove to outshine one another in elected offices and honors, all ostensibly in the name of serving the Republic. And for centuries it had worked - or at least worked for these elite and elitist competitors. Enemies were defeated, glory was spread round the ruling class, and the empire of the Republic steadily grew. When rivalries grew too bitter, when aristocrats seemed headed toward excessive power, the oligarchy of the Roman Senate would curb its more competitive members, fostering consensus that allowed the system—the competitive arena for offices and honors, and the domination of the Senate—to continue. But as Rome came to rule much of the Mediterranean, aristocratic competitions grew too fierce; the prizes for winning were too great. And so, a series of bitter rivalries combined with the social and political pressures of the day to disintegrate the Republic. This is the story of those bitter rivalries from the senatorial debates of Fabius and Scipio, to the censorial purges of Cato; from the murders of Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, to the ultimate rivalry of Caesar and Pompey. A work of historical investigation, Rivalries that Destroyed the Roman Republic introduces readers not only to the story of the Republic's collapse but the often-scarce and problematic evidence from which the story of these actors and their struggles is woven.

Women of Missouri in the Civil War by Daughters of the Confederacy Pdf

General William Tecumseh Sherman said of Confederate womanhood: “You women are the toughest set I ever knew. The men would have given up long ago but for you. I believe you would keep this war up for thirty years." Yet unlike many collections penned for the Daughters of the Confederacy, this book has a conciliatory tone. Yes, it includes accounts of suffering and bitterness. But the preface states the authors "do not desire to keep alive sectional bitterness or revive memories which have lain dormant for half a century." What they did intend was to record the sacrifices and efforts made by women of the south during the war. One of the most moving sections of the book is at the end. It is a first-hand recounting of the gathering on the field of Gettysburg of the veterans of both sides, fifty years after the battle. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
