When the Stars Begin to Fall by Theodore R. Johnson Pdf

A “persuasive . . . heartfelt and vividly written” call to counter systemic racism and build national solidarity in America (Publishers Weekly). The American Promise enshrined in our Constitution states that all men and women are inherently equal. And yet racism continues to corrode our society. If we cannot overcome it, Theodore Johnson argues, the promise that made America unique on Earth will have died. In When the Stars Begin to Fall, Johnson presents a compelling blueprint for the kind of national solidarity necessary to mitigate racism. Weaving together history, personal memories, and his family’s multi-generational experiences with racism, Johnson posits that solutions can be found in the exceptional citizenship long practiced in Black America. Understanding that racism is a structural crime of the state, he argues that overcoming it requires us to recognize that a color-conscious society—not a color-blind one—is the true fulfillment of the American Promise. Fueled by Johnson’s ultimate faith in the American project, grounded in his family’s longstanding optimism and his own military service, When the Stars Begin to Fall is an urgent call to undertake the process of overcoming what has long seemed intractable.

The Stars Are Falling by Michelle Birbeck Pdf

Nineteen-year-old Jenny is more content staring at the night sky than joining her friends on a night on the town. She's only known them two months, since classes began for her second year at university, but she's already head over heels with one of her housemates, Dale. Every conversation she's had with Dale has ended with her stuttering out an excuse to escape. Then the first meteor blazes through the night, landing close enough to shake the house. Suddenly, she's the one with all the answers, the one her friends and Dale turn to. Having spent so much time glued to a telescope, they expect her to know what's happening. But Jenny's never seen a meteor big enough to impact, and certainly never the thing that rises from the crater. It's a man who glows with a light so hot, everything in its path is disintegrated. Soon after, the night sky is turned to day, coming alive with hundreds more, all with one mission: rid Earth of that which is killing her. Earth has been watched, and the things watching have decided that the human race's time is up. Too much damage has been done, and they have decided that it's time to let Earth recover, to start again. The only way they see that happening is by wiping out the human race. Jenny knows another way, one that will save both Earth and humanity. But it isn't simply a case of finding the nearest official and explaining everything. No one wants to listen to a nineteen-year-old and her friends. They must take their idea directly to the Stars and somehow convince them to listen. But to get there they first have to survive, and survival comes at a price.

As for Emily—she’s got a secret, and it’s one she can’t reveal to anyone, especially not to Zach: she’s his biggest fan. But she’s also a professional. She’ll train him till he’s ready to tackle any slope, but she won’t fall in love with him, the way so many others have. Still, not everything in life can be planned, and sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t help but fall . . .

Imperial Cults and the Apocalypse of John by Steven J. Friesen,Louise Farmer Boyer Professor in Biblical Studies Steven J Friesen Pdf

After more than a century of debate about the significance of imperial cults for the interpretation of Revelation, this is the first study to examine both the archaeological evidence and the Biblical text in depth. Friesen argues that a detailed analysis of imperial cults as they were practiced in the first century CE in the region where John was active allows us to understand John's criticism of his society's dominant values. He demonstrates the importance of imperial cults for society at the time when Revelation was written, and shows the ways in which John refuted imperial cosmology through his use of vision, myth, and eschatological expectation.
