Download or read book Christian Conversations with Jehovah s Witnesses written by Christian R. Darlington and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-11-22 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the inspiring dialogues between a Christian named Karen and a Jehovah's Witness named Cindy as they discuss the Watchtower brochure What Does God Require of Us? and explore the core differences between Biblical Christianity and the Watchtower religion. In this book, Biblical truth is presented in an effective way that challenges the common reasoning embraced by faithful members of the Watchtower organization. Originally published under the title What Does God Require?, this book is the product of experiences the author had talking with Jehovah's Witnesses of all levels of leadership. Written in dialogue format, this book includes photocopies of the pages referenced from official Watchtower publications and other sources essential for Christians using this book to witness to Jehovah's Witnesses. Discussion topics are: New Light Changes In Watchtower Doctrine False Prophecies Of The Watchtower Society The Watchtower's Definition Of A Cult Watchtower History and Cover-ups The Jehovah's Witness Claim To Be The Only True Religion The Divine Name Jehovah The Trinity And The Deity Of Christ Faith and Works in Salvation Blood Transfusions War And Political Neutrality Holiday And Birthdays Celebrations Hell and Immortal Soul The Cross Loyalty To Jehovah God A Christian who reads Christian Conversations with JWs will not only learn the reasoning behind many of the doctrinal differences that separate Jehovah's Witnesses from Biblical Christianity, but he or she will be inspired to approach Jehovah's Witnesses in a more gentle, non-confrontational way that will help open the door to more effective dialogues rather than closed-minded defensive debates. Likewise, any thinking Jehovah's Witness will find the documentation presented from Watchtower publications and solid Biblical arguments stimulating to: "Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine." (1 Thessalonians 5:21, New World Translation) Regarding the Karen and Cindy conversations in this book, readers have said: "I am currently studying each and every page of the Karen and Cindy studies, looking up every Bible passage. They are very well put together, very well documented, with references and all, enormously helpful!" "I had Jehovah's Witnesses visiting for six years. ... The sad thing is now I have their beliefs in my head. So I put myself into God's hands and asked for direction. ...Well, the feeling of freedom is amazing. I am like a child, learning again for the first time. The reason I had to write to you was the Karen and Cindy conversations. Instead of me asking for help, one question at a time, they are all there for me!! It seems as if 'Cindy' could read my mind. It's so lovely for things to fall into place... I was scared while I did not understand even the tiny bit I do now. It's such a joy instead of feeling unworthy (we're all sinners I know) and feeling I would never be saved or go to Heaven. So, please thank God and Jesus with me for such help." "As you know... I am in prison... I know that every soul you help touch is a seed that might grow to touch hundreds and thousands... For example, the What Does God Require book you sent me some time back has been making its rounds around this prison yard. And many Jehovah's Witnesses have been raising lots of questions and are re-thinking their faith... Again, thank you for your ministry... Keep up the great work!"

Download or read book The Ghetto written by Tamara Kamenszain and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Latinx Studies. Jewish Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Seth Michelson. "The poems in Tamara Kamenszain's book THE GHETTO breathe and live boldly and beautifully in Seth Michelson's spot-on translations. Written in Spanish, with the ghosts of Hebrew and Yiddish never far in the background, these poems cast a discerning eye toward the meaning of words such as 'ghetto,' 'exile,' and 'ancestors' in a world of borders, edges, and death. Yet, as in the poetry of Paul Celan, one of the guiding spirits of this book, what is beautiful is never fully abandoned. 'Today in the crowns of the trees all my roots flower,' she writes in the poem 'Tree of Life,' offering vision and salvation from within the landscape of a Jewish cemetery in Buenos Aires. Thanks to Seth Michelson, this book is now a marvelous and significant contribution to English language as well as Argentinean verse."--Gail Wronsky

Download or read book The Political Spirituality of Cesar Chavez written by Luis D. Leon and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Political Spirituality of Cesar Chavez: Crossing Religious Borders maps and challenges many of the mythologies that surround the late iconic labor leader. Focusing on Chavez's own writings, León argues that La Causa can be fruitfully understood as a quasi-religious movement based on Chavez’s charismatic leadership, which he modeled after Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi. Chavez recognized that spiritual prophecy, or political spirituality, was the key to disrupting centuries-old dehumanizing narratives that conflated religion with race. Chavez’s body became emblematic for Chicano identity and enfleshed a living revolution. While there is much debate and truth-seeking around how he is remembered, through investigating the leader’s construction of his own public memory, the author probes the meaning of the discrepancies. By refocusing Chavez's life and beliefs into three broad movements—mythology, prophecy, and religion—León brings us a moral and spiritual agent to match the political leader.

Download or read book Trampling Out the Vintage written by Frank Bardacke and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its heyday, the United Farm Workers was an embodiment of its slogan “Yes, we can”—in the form “¡Sí, Se Puede!”—winning many labor victories, securing collective bargaining rights for farm workers, and becoming a major voice for the Latino community. Today, it is a mere shadow of its former self. Trampling Out the Vintage is the authoritative and award-winning account of the rise and fall of the United Farm Workers and its most famous and controversial leader, Cesar Chavez. Based interviews conducted over many years—with farm workers, organizers, and the opponents and friends of the UFW—the book tells a story of collective action and empowerment rich in evocative detail and stirring human interest. Beginning with the influence of the ideas of Saul Alinsky and Catholic Social Action at the union’s founding, through the UFW’s thrilling triumphs in the California fields, the drama concludes with the debilitating internal struggles that effectively crippled the union. A vivid rendering of farm work and the world of the farm worker, Trampling Out the Vintage is a dramatic reappraisal of the political trajectory of Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers and an essential re-evaluation of their most tumultuous years. Winner of the 2012 Hillman Prize in Book Journalism.
