Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND ECONOMIST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR “A deeply reported, deeply personal history of Zionism and Israel that does something few books even attempt: It balances the strength and weakness, the idealism and the brutality, the hope and the horror, that has always been at Zionism’s heart.”—Ezra Klein, The New York Times Winner of the Natan Book Award, the National Jewish Book Award, and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award Ari Shavit’s riveting work, now updated with new material, draws on historical documents, interviews, and private diaries and letters, as well as his own family’s story, to create a narrative larger than the sum of its parts: both personal and of profound historical dimension. As he examines the complexities and contradictions of the Israeli condition, Shavit asks difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? Can it survive? Culminating with an analysis of the issues and threats that Israel is facing, My Promised Land uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the present. Shavit’s analysis of Israeli history provides a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a crucial role in today’s global political landscape.

Download or read book A Pilgrimage to the Promised Land and Beyond Color written by Stephen Lucas and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-18 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comes from a paper written to satisfy the requirement for the School of Prophets PhD course for a 21-Day Study Trip to Israel, Jordan (Petra), Turkey and Italy (Rome). The Bible is a book of places. Therefore, this review focuses on the places we visit, their Bible references and the impressions that were made on us. We'll never read the Bible, or listen to the news in Israel, the same way again, because we've been there and seen those places and can still picture them in our mind's eye every day. The tour iss presented through the lens of Bible Prophecy -- past present and future. This book has a similar view and uses the present tense, as a diary, describing the sights we see. The tour is led by Dr. Jimmy DeYoung as part of the PhD program of his School of Prophets, in conjunction with Louisiana Baptist University, from which Dr. DeYoung received his PhD. The book is organized by the ten most memorable events that we experience, each as a chapter, with other events, in time sequence, bridging between these ten chapters. Those ten events are:1. Bus into the city of Jerusalem, playing its song, The Holy City (Jerusalem)...2. Standing at the "tower of the flock" site, where the shepherds would find the baby Jesus, on the first evening in Israel.3. The length and width of the Jezreel/Jordan/Riff Valley.4. Where Jesus was baptized on the Jordan River.5. The Eastern Bridge from the Temple to the Mt. of Olives. 6. Swimming in the Dead and Red Seas.7. Eilat: viewing 4 countries while boating in the Red Sea.8. The size of the ruins of Ephesus and Laodicea.9. The Arch of Titus in Rome; the missing Temple menorah.10. Site of the False Church; where the Common Market agreement was signed - Rome Rising Major impressions of the trip through Israel, Jordan (Petra), Turkey (the 7 Churches of Revelation 2 & 3) and Italy (Rome Rising) are:o Reading the Bible will never be the same!o Seeing where Jesus was born, baptized, died and buried.o Walking the Via Dolorosa through the Old City; praying at the Wailing Wall.o Looking over the Jezreel Valley from Mt. Carmel, imagining a young Jesus there.o Standing on the Mount of Olives where Jesus will return; looking to the Eastern gate of the Temple Mount.o Climbing to the top row of the Ephesus amphitheater where Paul spoke.o Seeing the sources of the hot/cold waters into Laodicea.o Viewing the frescos of the sacking of Jerusalem in the Arch of Titus. o Sitting before the Vatican, in St. Peter's Square, contemplating the false church of Revelation 17 and viewing the site where the Common Market agreement (foreshadowing the European Union) was signed, the early signs of Rome Rising.

Download or read book The Expulsive Power of a New Affection written by Thomas Chalmers and published by Gideon House Books. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” — 1 John 2:15 Those who struggle with habitual sin are keenly aware of the despair and fatigue that comes from trying harder and harder to control the desire to do what is wrong in the eyes of God. For this person, there be times of limited success in overcoming sin, but eventually he/she falls back again into unhealthy patterns. In "The Expulsive Power of a New Affection", Thomas Chalmers argues that no matter how hard we may try, we’ll never overcome habitual sin in our lives unless we switch our affections from the world to Jesus Christ. Thankfully Christ loved us first and is more than willing to set us free if we’d only realize the true Gospel power that we can all have in our lives today.

Download or read book Jerusalem Bound written by Rodney Aist and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Prominent Peaks of the Pilgrimage Book Two written by Pilgrim Preacher and published by Pilgrim Preacher. This book was released on 2023-12-17 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series is entitled: Prominent Peaks of the Pilgrimage. Divided into two books, this twenty-lesson course traces the journey of the people of Israel, from out of the land of Egypt, into the land of Canaan. We will visit the people of Israel at the prominent peaks of their pilgrimage. Our main texts will come from the bible books of Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. We shall see that the events that befell the children of Israel at the mountain sites are the very things that we have to expect on our pilgrimage. The lessons that the people of Israel had to learn are the very same lessons that our loving Lord would have us learn also. So, it behooves us to take a close look at the Lord's people and their pilgrimage, so that we can be better fit for our pilgrimage, for there are many pitfalls, dangers, and perils. Another major purpose of this course is to look at different aspects of the doctrine of salvation. Every keyword in this course brings out a new revelation concerning biblical salvation. Biblical salvation covers more than just the regeneration of the human spirit. Many struggles in the lives of Christians can be traced to unfamiliarity with the doctrine of salvation. If we do not see all that the Lord has done in salvation, then we will have unnecessary struggles. The doctrine of salvation permeates this entire course. We will turn salvation over and look at the subject in all its fullness. God is only interested in complete salvation. God is interested in salvation that delivers the sinful man: spirit, soul, and body; past, present, and future; penalty, power, and presence. That is what God's business is: complete salvation. These two books containing twenty chapters/lessons can be read privately, or they can be taught in an audience setting. Reader’s Feedback “An absolutely powerful bible course to transform willing hearts. Each lesson is packed with life-transforming principles. You cannot bypass this course!” P Jefferson “The best bible lesson outlines I have seen on the life of Moses and the exodus of the Hebrews out of Egypt. I have been teaching through the series and my congregation loves the content.” N Collins “I have been looking for a series to teach and these lessons have easy-to-follow outlines for both me and my class.” H Sangrin For decades, The Pilgrim Preacher adapted his talent for researching, compiling, and writing original study material and teaching the material. Many of these study courses were converted into E-books and published online in all good stores. With over thirty-five years of theological experience, YOU can trust these Bible Message Series to present in a Church or classroom setting. Get both books in this series to be the best that you can be!

Download or read book Knowing God through Journey and Pilgrimage written by Seung Yeal Lee and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hebrew/Christian Scriptures include many allusions to pilgrimage customs and practices, yet the information is scattered and requires a considerable amount of reconstruction. It is posited that the pilgrimage paradigm, including the journey motif, has influenced the thought patterns of the writers of both the Old and New Testaments. To follow Jesus' journey to Jerusalem on the three feasts of pilgrimage in Luke-Acts and John, and their relevance to the way he revealed himself and taught his disciples, this work begins with the creation and patriarchal narratives, examining how the pilgrimage paradigm relates to discipleship. Reviewing the history of the people of God including the Exodus, the Exile, and restoration, this book establishes the significance of pilgrimage as a paradigm for Israel that eventually shapes Judaism. Seung Y Lee points us to a neglected fact that the three feasts of pilgrimage have developed their own characters and meanings for the momentous events in the history of Israel, and both Luke-Acts and John reflect the significance of the pilgrimage paradigm for Jesus' self-understanding and his teaching.
