This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read the true first-hand account of Laura Hardin Carson and the work she and her husband Arthur Carson did converting the Chin people of Burma (now called Myanmar) to Christianity. Young and old alike will be inspired by this retelling of the life of this young American missionary couple. Learn how they became the first missionaries to the Chin people and how their sacrifice and service led to the conversion of an entire people group now numbering in the millions. See how God molds Laura and Arthur into His image as they brave extraordinary hardships while beginning their own family far from home. The perseverance of the Carsons blazed a new trail through the jungles of a land steeped in demon worship and superstition, and now the light of the Gospel shines there brightly. In recent years, after decades of forced isolation from the rest of the world, Burma has opened up to the flow of Christians longing to connect and bless their brothers and sisters who have endured great persecution. Those returning from Myanmar are carrying with them amazing and wonderful stories of God's grace among the saints of this somewhat forgotten outpost of the Kingdom of God. This book reminds the faithful of the pioneering work done by the Carsons and others who gave their lives for the work of Christ in this land, and will, no doubt, inspire others to the same.

Download or read book Pioneers in the Attic written by Sara M. Patterson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do thousands of Mormons devote their summer vacations to following the Mormon Trail? Why does the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Day Saints spend millions of dollars to build monuments and Visitor Centers that believers can visit to experience the history of their nineteenth-century predecessors who fled westward in search of their promised land? Why do so many Mormon teenagers dress up in Little-House-on-the-Prairie-style garb and push handcarts over the highest local hills they can find? And what exactly is a "traveling Zion"? In Pioneers in the Attic, Sara Patterson analyzes how and why Mormons are engaging their nineteenth-century past in the modern era, arguing that as the LDS community globalized in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, its relationship to space was transformed. Following their exodus to Utah, nineteenth-century Mormons believed that they must gather together in Salt Lake Zion - their new center place. They believed that Zion was a place you could point to on a map, a place you should dwell in to live a righteous life. Later Mormons had to reinterpret these central theological principles as their community spread around the globe, but to say that they simply spiritualized concepts that had once been understood literally is only one piece of the puzzle. Contemporary Mormons still want to touch and to feel these principles, so they mark and claim the landscapes of the American West with versions of their history carved in stone. They develop rituals that allow them not only to learn the history of the nineteenth-century journey west, but to engage it with all of their senses. Pioneers in the Attic reveals how modern-day Mormons have created a sense of community and felt religion through the memorialization of early Mormon pioneers of the American West, immortalizing a narrative of shared identity through an emphasis on place and collective memory.
Download or read book My Own Pioneers 1830 1918 written by Kathryn J. Kappler and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the fascinating true stories of one family through the Mormon pioneer era—stories that follow four generations and several of the author’s family lines as they and their fellow pioneers help shape the early history of the Mormon Church, the American West, and even Mexico. This memorable journey is the culmination of fifteen years of painstaking research as the author carefully reconstructs the pioneer struggles from before 1830 to 1918 using information from family journals, memoirs, histories and letters. Volume III (The Last Pioneers/Refuge in Mexico, 1876-1918) concludes the family history by explaining how polygamous family pioneers moved from Utah to settle Arizona and New Mexico; how the pioneers faced Indian and mob threats again in their new home; how, because of polygamy, the threat of imprisonment forced the settlers to flee into Mexico, where they battled Indians and the elements, adjusted to Mexican culture and citizenship, and prospered; how they were soon victims of the Mexican Revolution, caught between two marauding armies; and how they were finally forced back across the border as impoverished refugees in the very states they had once pioneered. My Own Pioneers is an important work illuminating the legacy of the Mormon pioneers. It is a compilation of true chronological accounts through which their lives, their sacrifices, and their considerable accomplishments, despite terrible hardship, may be honored. With its extensive index, this book provides an excellent research tool for academics as well as history enthusiasts; and it uplifts every reader by showcasing the enduring strength and mighty faith of these pioneers.

Download or read book Things Hold Together written by Branson L. Parler and published by MennoMedia, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-10-03 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an Anabaptist, John Howard Yoder is often depicted as Christ-centered in his theology but with a creation-deficient approach to culture. In this clearly reasoned study, Branson Parler argues that Yoder advocates a trinitarian theology of culture that upholds the continuity between God’s work in creation and in redemption. For Yoder, Jesus’ humanity makes him directly relevant to culture while Jesus’ divinity connects him directly to creation. Yoder’s writings, says Parler, affirm that Jesus restores and re-establishes the politics of creation. In Things Hold Together, Parler joins a growing number of writers from outside Anabaptist or Mennonite traditions who are finding resonance with Yoder, one of the leading theologians of the twentieth century. “Interpreters who dismiss Yoder’s call to discipleship find comfort in suggesting he lacked a doctrine of creation or in finding him to be at best a heterodox theologian. Parler takes the ground away from such critics. His book sets the bar for any future reception of Yoder's theology.”—D. Stephen Long, author of Speaking of God: Theology, Truth and Language "Things Hold Together helps us see that John Howard Yoder was from first to last a trinitarian thinker. Parler therefore provides an illuminating context for interpreting Yoder's critique of H. Richard Niebuhr." —Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe professor of theological ethics, Duke University

As you relax and read through the pages, it is meant to make Bible times come vibrantly alive and help experience the reality and miraculous impact of the Advent, birth, flight, escape from Herod, and childhood of Christ as if you were actually there. "Following The Angel Trail" can enjoyed as a fascinating and compelling non-fiction historical novel by simply reading through the prologue and chapters. Yet it is also a great bargain offering 2 books in one, as an extensive Study Guide is included in the rear.

This book is designed to lead you on an incredibly realistic journey to reveal the real world and times of the first century. For if we are to truly hear and receive the rich wisdom and treasures these vital heroes of the faith can still share with us today, we need to find ways to take Saints of old out of pages that have often become stale and dead in their familiarity. For we all need to strive to see the heroes of early Christianity in their full human reality while firmly anchored to their own historical time and context. Although we can never know completely all they said and did, we can know with a great degree of confidence what their world was really like and what they may well have felt, said, and thought. If reading "Following The Angel Trail" accomplishes this, in some degree, then the purpose of this book has been achieved.
