Understanding Your Neighbor's Faith by Philip Lazowski Pdf
"Understanding Your Neighbor's Faith: What Christians and Jews Should Know About Each Other was the brainchild of Rabbi Philip Lazowski of Hartford, Connecticut. The idea was born several years back after he invited a group of non-Jewish clergymen to visit the Holy Land with him. Priests, ministers and some members of their congregations who wanted a better understanding of Israel and Judaism enthusiastically accepted his gesture of good will. Rabbi Lazowski's unique perspective as a Holocaust survivor made him ideally poised to teach others about the historical and philosophical context of Judaism as well as its rich tradition of practice. Rabbi Lazowski also learned much from his colleagues of other faith traditions. This unprecedented volume gives Rabbi Lazowski and the other clergy the opportunity to explicate their religion, using their own language and concepts in responding to the questions of people of goodwill outside their faith. Difficult, even uncomfortable, questions are asked--and answered. No question is too simple or too complex. Every chapter, each by an author belonging to a different Christian faith tradition, will prove as informative to the co-religionist as to the outsider. The concise, straightforward question-and-answer style allows the book to be studied in full, read casually, or consulted for reference.
Voting as a Christian: The Economic and Foreign Policy Issues by Wayne A. Grudem Pdf
Written not by a journalist or politician but rather by a theology professor with a Ph.D. in New Testament studies, Voting by the Bible: The Economic and Foreign Policy Issues begins with the assumption that God intended the Bible to give guidance to every area of life—including how governments should function. Derived from author Wayne Grudem’s magisterial Politics According to the Bible, this book highlights those economic and foreign-policy issues that have dominated political debate recently. Throughout, author Wayne Grudem supports political positions that would be called more "conservative" than "liberal." However, “it is important to understand that I see these positions as flowing out of the Bible's teachings rather than positions I hold prior to, or independently of, those biblical teachings," he writes. "My primary purpose in the book is not to be liberally or conservative, or Democrat or Republican, but to explain a biblical worldview and a biblical perspective on issues of politics, law, and government." Concise yet carefully argued, this book is a must-read for any Christian concerned about current debates over the economy, the size and role of government, and the best way forward out of the current recession. Not every reader will agree with the book's conclusions. But by grounding his analysis deeply on Scripture, Grudem has equipped Christians to better understand and respond to some of today's key political debates wisely and in a manner consistent with their primary citizenship as members and ambassadors of the kingdom of God.
What Michael Herr's Dispatches was to the Vietnam War, Love Thy Neighbor is to the Bosnian War--a brilliantly observed and deeply felt evocation of war by a writer who witnessed it. The work immediately calls to mind Heller's Catch-22 for its grasp of the absurdity of war, and, for its accurate presentation of the events, Neil Sheehan's A Bright, Shining Lie.
"One of the most disturbing spectacles of recent decades has been brutal acts of genocidal violence committed among neighboring communities who once lived together in peace: ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia; the slaughter of Tutsis in Rwanda; or the Sunni versus Shia violence in today's Iraq. As these cases illustrate, lethal violence does not always come at the hands of outsiders or foreigners. Rather, it can just as easily come at the hand of someone who once was considered a friend. Killing Our Neighbors employs a multi-sited approach and multi-vocal ethnography to examine how once-peaceful neighbors become transformed into perpetrators and victims of lethal violence. It engages with a set of interlocking case studies in northern Kenya, focusing on sometimes-peaceful, sometimes violent interactions between Samburu herders and neighboring groups, interweaving Samburu narratives of key violent events with the narratives of neighboring groups on the other side of the same encounters. The book is, on one hand, an ethnography of particular people in a particular place, vividly portraying the complex and confusing dynamics of interethnic violence through the lives, words and intimate experiences of individuals variously involved in and affected by these conflicts. At the same time the book aims to use this particular case study to illustrate how the dynamics in northern Kenya provides comparative insights to well-known, compelling contexts of violence around the globe"--Provided by publisher.

Hitler, My Neighbor by Edgar Feuchtwanger,Bertil Scali Pdf
An eminent historian recounts the Nazi rise to power from his unique perspective as a young Jewish boy in Munich, living with Adolf Hitler as his neighbor. Edgar Feuchtwanger came from a prominent German-Jewish family--the only son of a respected editor and the nephew of a best-selling author, Lion Feuchtwanger. He was a carefree five-year-old, pampered by his parents and his nanny, when Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party, moved into the building opposite theirs in Munich. In 1933 the joy of this untroubled life was shattered. Hitler had been named Chancellor. Edgar's parents, stripped of their rights as citizens, tried to protect him from increasingly degrading realities. In class, his teacher had him draw swastikas, and his schoolmates joined the Hitler Youth. Watching events unfold from his window, Edgar bore witness to the Night of the Long Knives, the Anschluss, and Kristallnacht. Jews were arrested; his father was imprisoned at Dachau. In 1939 Edgar was sent on his own to England, where he would make a new life, a career, have a family, and strive to forget the nightmare of his past--a past that came rushing back when he decided, at the age of eighty-eight, to tell the story of his buried childhood and his infamous neighbor.

What the Hell Is Going On? The Web of Fraud That Is Enslaving Everyone and How We Can Escape to Freedom by Donald Lee Pdf
Why does nothing make sense? How can there be a “climate emergency” when the climate has not changed noticeably during my lifetime? How can we fight a “War on Drugs” for fifty years and the drug problem gets worse? How can we fight a “War on Terror” for two decades yet there’s more terror than ever? How could there be a worldwide “pandemic” when there were no excess deaths anywhere in 2020? Why is the answer to every problem more power and control for governments yet they never solve the problems? Why is it that the real power doesn’t seem to be in elected governments at all? Every government in the world seems to be taking its marching orders from the World Economic Forum? What the Hell Is Going On? What’s the connection between all these things? Is it all just an accident? These events seem to be planned, but even if they aren’t, it doesn’t matter. Like pregnancy, planned or unplanned, the result is the same. Whether by accident or conspiracy, we are on the road to totalitarian slavery. It’s not hard to understand. But it’s hard to believe. It is unbelievable. You have to see the evidence to believe it. That what this book is about—evidence. Donald Lee pulls together evidence from a dozen disciplines to “connect the dots” on a web of fraud that is leading inexorably to a one-world totalitarian tyranny. That’s the path we’re on. But we can still get on a different path. We’re in World War III. It’s a 5th generation war so it doesn’t even seem like war. At its root it is a spiritual war—and spiritual wars are fought within. “My favorite line from the book is: ‘In this spiritual war, our strategy is love, our tactic is forgiveness, our weapon is non-violent, non-cooperation.’ I couldn’t agree more.” Karen Kan, M.D. In What the Hell Is Going On?, spiritual author Donald Lee takes you on a journey of unfolding enlightenment. He shows you how: To perceive differently so you can perceive what is really going on. The Marxist “Philosophy of Death” has slowly marched through the institutions and culture of the Western world. The tactics of communist subversion have overwhelmed our society and nobody noticed. Mass formation psychosis has blinded people to reality, making them immune to reason and common sense in every fraud. We still have the structure of democracy in the Western world, but all governance is really functioning as a dictatorship—the Policy Hierarchy. The central bank digital currencies about to be unleashed on the world will trap everyone in the iron grip of a greater slavery than the world has ever known—and from which there will be no escape. The time to escape is NOW. It is already late. If we delay much longer, all hope will be lost. YOU must act NOW. To turn back the totalitarianism and bring a new rebirth of freedom. Turning back to democracy means turning back to God, means exposing the lies and uncovering the truth, particularly the truth of who you really are—an eternal child of God, a being of Light and Love. “You will be surprised, maybe horrified, but you won't emerge with the same set of conclusions you went in with.” Christopher A. Shaw, Ph.D. This might be the most important book you read this decade! Buy it now.
