Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An epic story of the American wheat harvest, the politics of food, and the culture of the Great Plains For over one hundred years, the Mockett family has owned a seven-thousand-acre wheat farm in the panhandle of Nebraska, where Marie Mutsuki Mockett’s father was raised. Mockett, who grew up in bohemian Carmel, California, with her father and her Japanese mother, knew little about farming when she inherited this land. Her father had all but forsworn it. In American Harvest, Mockett accompanies a group of evangelical Christian wheat harvesters through the heartland at the invitation of Eric Wolgemuth, the conservative farmer who has cut her family’s fields for decades. As Mockett follows Wolgemuth’s crew on the trail of ripening wheat from Texas to Idaho, they contemplate what Wolgemuth refers to as “the divide,” inadvertently peeling back layers of the American story to expose its contradictions and unhealed wounds. She joins the crew in the fields, attends church, and struggles to adapt to the rhythms of rural life, all the while continually reminded of her own status as a person who signals “not white,” but who people she encounters can’t quite categorize. American Harvest is an extraordinary evocation of the land and a thoughtful exploration of ingrained beliefs, from evangelical skepticism of evolution to cosmopolitan assumptions about food production and farming. With exquisite lyricism and humanity, this astonishing book attempts to reconcile competing versions of our national story.

Download or read book The Harvest God written by Gregory Ashe and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last of the gods-made-flesh is dead. In the sudden vacuum of power, many will struggle to control Nakhacevir of the Thirteen Paths. Abass, one-time thief and pander, finds his return home cut short when the weight of having killed a god descends on him. When he leaves Khi'ilan, hoping to find a way to protect his family and forget the betrayals he has suffered, Abass finds himself drawn to Khaskander the Liberator, self-proclaimed emperor of Nakhacevir. Instead of safety, though, Abass is drawn deeper into the intrigues of Khaskander's camp, where loyalties are always shifting. Dying from the same magic that gives her strength, Fadhra sets out to finish what she has started: the total destruction of the eses. Her determination to kill the warrior-priests, though, forces her to make uneasy alliances within the ranks of the eses themselves, and soon she finds herself torn again between her love for Abass and her desire for vengeance. Winter moves upon Cenarbasi. When Sefiye, a fat, middle-aged scholar, finds herself suddenly thrown from her comfortable post, she decides to travel north. Seeking confirmation for her heretical beliefs, Sefiye begins a search along the border of Nakhacevir that not only threatens to undermine the Cehulet priests of Cenarbasi but also holds the promise of a much darker secret. Something that even the rainbow gods of Cenarbasi wish to hide. When the blood of the gods is at stake, there can be no friends and no allies. There is only the blood. And the Harvest God who waits to reclaim it.

Download or read book A Sweet and Bitter Providence written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2009-12-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex. Race. Scripture. Sovereignty. The book of Ruth entails them all. So readers shouldn't be fooled by its age, says Pastor John Piper. Though its events happened over 3,000 years ago, the story holds astounding relevance for Christians in the twenty-first century. The sovereignty of God, the sexual nature of humanity, and the gospel of God's mercy for the undeserving-these massive realities never change. And since God is still sovereign, and we are male or female, and Jesus is alive and powerful, A Sweet and Bitter Providence bears a message for readers from all walks of life. But be warned, Piper tells his audience: This ancient love affair between Boaz and Ruth could be dangerous, inspiring all of us to great risks in the cause of love.

Download or read book Lord of the Harvest written by J. Danny Hone and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-10-04 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's been 15 years since my journey began back to the throne of God. I'm not sure when I began to think God wasnt on the throne nor when I began to think I was on it myself. I suppose we all have problems when it comes to understanding the Lordship of Christ and submitting ourselves to that reality. When my theology came tumbling down I found myself taking refuge in God's word. I buried myself there trying to figure out who God was and ultimately who I am in Him. Lord of The Harvest is the fruit of that journey. Lord of the Harvest takes a hard look at God's hand in salvation and restores Gods glory, honor, power and praise for all that He does in that process. The result is an overwhelming sense of gratitude and a strong desire to cast our crowns at the feet of Jesus and give Him praise for His loving kindness towards us. This book will open up your eyes to all that God has done in your life and will leave you on your knees in thanksgiving and praise before the Lord God Almighty.

This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biggest barrier to faith is life itself. Divorce. Cancer. Infertility. Death. There are times in our lives in which God seems very far away. We don't understand His silence. We only feel the intensity of our pain and the echoing question of 'why?' The Bible declares that God is good, but can we still believe this when our lives are falling apart?

Search the Scriptures with Dr. Pritchard for words of encouragement and hope. Put your confidence in the God who sorrowfully watched His Son suffer at Calvary for your benefit. Know that the same loving heavenly Father has everything completely under control. He is with you and longs to comfort you as you struggle through your hard times. Take a tell-tale look at your devotion to the Lord and His never-ending love and commitment to you in Keep Believing. You served God in the sunshine; will you now serve him in the shadows?
Download or read book God vs Government written by Nathan Busenitz and published by Harvest House Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Welcome to our peaceful protest.” In the spring of 2020, government mandates forced churches across North America to close their doors in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As societal fear and unrest increased, Christians were forced to grapple with how God wanted them to respond to these state-imposed restrictions. After all, didn’t the closure of churches pose a serious threat in a time when people needed spiritual direction more than ever? God vs. Government follows two churches’ courageous decisions to reopen despite orders to remain closed. Guided by the command in Hebrews 10:25 that churches not forsake meeting together, pastors John MacArthur and James Coates led their congregations to return to in-person meetings—and were swiftly met by unsympathetic governing authorities ready to shut them down again. The ensuing legal battles raised important questions about religious freedom, and more importantly, illuminated what it looks like to take a stand when Christ and compliance collide. How do we react with wisdom and discernment when the state encroaches upon the church? God vs. Government tells two incredible accounts that affirm our need to be faithful to the Lord’s commands no matter the circumstances.

Whether you're a seasoned veteran in Christ or you just met Him yesterday, this book is for you. The Harvest's aim is to aid in the reemergence of the true character of Christ in the modern church by presenting an intimate, Biblical, examination of the life of Jesus and His followers.

Readers are then taught how to overcome their carnal and natural instincts in order to begin living the spiritual lives God desires us all to live. As The Harvest: comes to a close, readers are taught how to operate in God's power and presence. The Harvest: God's Glory Revealed brings new life to familiar Christian principles while serving as a step-by-step guide to becoming Christ-like in perilous times.

Rick Hammond grew up on a farm, and for forty years he has raised cattle and crops on his wife’s fifth-generation homestead in Nebraska, in hopes of passing it on to their four children. But as the handoff nears, their family farm—and their entire way of life—are under siege on many fronts, from shifting trade policies, to encroaching pipelines, to climate change. Following the Hammonds from harvest to harvest, Ted Genoways explores the rapidly changing world of small, traditional farming operations. He creates a vivid, nuanced portrait of a radical new landscape and one family’s fight to preserve their legacy and the life they love.
