Download or read book Habeeb the Beloved written by William S. Nelson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Habeeb the Beloved: A Tale of Life in Modern Syria Nelson has both reflected his own power of insight and thrown Open a window by which the reader can catch a glimpse of Syrian life and mission work. Having lived many years in the land in which the story is laid, the writer has not had his eyes diverted from men by the easier study of their manners and customs. He recog nizes that a nation is no stronger or purer than its citizens, and in the story of Habeeb we are told that on Syrian soil and in the somewhat stifling atmosphere of Turkish suspicion and intrigue the most perfect and beautiful flower of simple Christian faith and character can strike its roots One who has been in Syria and who has passed over the road from Beirut to Sidon cannot help but picture the scene as illustrative of the central thought of the book. Every where he gazes upon rocks and stones. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Merchant of Syria written by Diana Darke and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barely literate, and supporting his mother and sisters from the age of ten, Abu Chaker built up a business empire--despite twice losing everything he had. Diana Darke follows his tumultuous journey, from instability in Syria and civil war in Lebanon, to his arrival in England in the 1970s, where he rescued a failing Yorkshire textile mill, Hield Bros, and transformed it into a global brand. The Merchant of Syria tells two parallel stories: the life of a cloth merchant and his resilience, and the rich history of a nation built on trade. Over millennia Syria has seen great conflict and turmoil, but like the remarkable story of Abu Chaker, it continues to survive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from East Syrian Daily Offices In presenting the first publication of the revived Eastern Church Association to its members, a few words are, perhaps, necessary to explain the object in view. The aim of the Association is to disseminate as accurate information as is possible about the Eastern Churches, whether concerning their history and formal teaching or their actual condition. The time is gone by when it is wise to be satisfied with half-truths or incorrect and one-sided information. There are no books which show more accurately the historical and doctrinal position of a Church than its Liturgies and other services.

You can return home in the afternoon with no anxious forebodings as to how much waste of time is awaiting you in the shape of cards and notes on the hall table; you may wear clothes for covering, you may eat for nourishment; without taking thought for fashion in the one case, or of competition with your neighbour's cook or gardener in the other. But - according to our Occidental standards - you cannot consistently indulge any taste you may happen to have for being grand.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Damascus and Its People: Sketches of Modern Life in Syria Damascus is one of the very few ancient cities of the world that still retain anything of their former great ness. Nineveh and Babylon are buried in ruins, and Tyre is now a small fishing village; but Damascus, boasting of an antiquity of years, is still a prosperous city, with a large, industrious and lively population. It has associations with great names in the past, and a busy, stirring life in the present; it is a city of ancient art and of modern activity, peopled by men of various races and of various creeds, in them selves a study of more abiding interest than the blades, ' the damasks and the roses with which the name of Damascus is commonly connected.

Download or read book Muslims of the Heartland written by Edward E. Curtis IV and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncovers the surprising history of Muslim life in the early American Midwest The American Midwest is often thought of as uniformly white, and shaped exclusively by Christian values. However, this view of the region as an unvarying landscape fails to consider a significant community at its very heart. Muslims of the Heartland uncovers the long history of Muslims in a part of the country where many readers would not expect to find them. Edward E. Curtis IV, a descendant of Syrian Midwesterners, vividly portrays the intrepid men and women who busted sod on the short-grass prairies of the Dakotas, peddled needles and lace on the streets of Cedar Rapids, and worked in the railroad car factories of Michigan City. This intimate portrait follows the stories of individuals such as farmer Mary Juma, pacifist Kassem Rameden, poet Aliya Hassen, and bookmaker Kamel Osman from the early 1900s through World War I, the Roaring 20s, the Great Depression, and World War II. Its story-driven approach places Syrian Americans at the center of key American institutions like the assembly line, the family farm, the dance hall, and the public school, showing how the first two generations of Midwestern Syrians created a life that was Arab, Muslim, and American, all at the same time. Muslims of the Heartland recreates what the Syrian Muslim Midwest looked, sounded, felt, and smelled like—from the allspice-seasoned lamb and rice shared in mosque basements to the sound of the trains on the Rock Island Line rolling past the dry goods store. It recovers a multicultural history of the American Midwest that cannot be ignored.
Download or read book The Syrian Goddess written by Herbert A. Strong and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Syrian Goddess: Being a Translation of Lucian's "De Dea Syria," With a Life of Lucian To the student of oriental religions the Dea Syria is brimful of interest. It describes the cult and worship of the goddess of Northern Syria, Atargatis, at her sacred city, Hierapolis, now Mumbij. The time when Lucian wrote would be the middle of the second century B. C. We do not see any reason to reject the traditional authorship of the treatise: on the contrary, the work seems to reveal the famous satirist at home, taking a natural interest in local memories and institutions, while making, doubtless, mental notes that were to prove of use in the works for which he is best known. Of the many writers who refer to the Dea Syria, no one dwells upon the fundamental character of the cult at Hierapolis, nor deals with the problem of its historical origins. It is this aspect of inquiry, therefore, with which we chiefly deal in the Introduction and the foot notes. Lucian's description, amplified by the later account of Macrobius, and further illustrated by the local coinage of Hierapolis, reveals the central cult as that of a divine parr.' The male god, a form of Hadad, is symbolised by the bull, and is hence both "Lord of Heaven" and "Creator."
