Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interviewing war criminals and their victims, Neuffer explains, through the voices of people she follows over the course of a decade, how genocide erodes a nation's social and political environment.

Download or read book The Gospel Comes with a House Key written by Rosaria Butterfield and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did God use to draw a radical, committed unbeliever to himself? Did God take her to an evangelistic rally? Or, since she had her doctorate in literature, did he use something in print? No, God used an invitation to dinner in a modest home, from a humble couple who lived out the gospel daily, simply, and authentically. With this story of her conversion as a backdrop, Rosaria Butterfield invites us into her home to show us how God can use this same "radical, ordinary hospitality" to bring the gospel to our lost friends and neighbors. Such hospitality sees our homes as not our own, but as God's tools for the furtherance of his kingdom as we welcome those who look, think, believe, and act differently from us into our everyday, sometimes messy lives—helping them see what true Christian faith really looks like.

Download or read book Failed and Failing States written by Raj Bardouille and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01-08 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State collapse is one of the major threats to peace, stability, and economic development in sub-Saharan Africa today. In a collapsed state the regime finally wears out its ability to satisfy the demands of the various groups in society; it fails to govern or to keep the state together. The collapse is marked by the loss of control over political and economic space. A collapsed state can no longer perform its basic security and development functions and has no effective control over its territory and borders. Efforts to avoid drawing other nations into a wider conflict created by the collapse of a state—and creating favorable conditions for reconciliation and reconstruction of a failed state after it has collapsed—present major challenges. In April, 2008 the Cornell Institute for African Development called a symposium on ‘Failed and Failing States in Africa: Lessons from Darfur and Beyond’ to address these critical issues. Key contributions to the symposium are brought together in this volume. Taken together these essays represent a significant discussion on the challenges presented by the presence of failing states within Africa.
Download or read book Changing Roles Taking care of Mom written by N.D. Gulley and published by Page Publishing, Inc. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After eight years of taking care of my aging mother who had suffered a stroke, the onset of Alzheimer's, and the likelihood of schizophrenia, I dare you not to lose your mind amid the drama-queen antics and the constant need for immediate gratification. What makes this book different from others like it is the inescapable fact my mother had a gift. She was a psychic medium with a proven track record that helped a lot of people. On the other hand, her endless psychic channeling and nonstop conversations with the supernatural world made it very challenging for doctors and nurses to do their jobs. Living with Mom was a roller-coaster ride filled with physical, mental, and emotional challenges. It was a journey filled with aimlessness frustration and numerous events that were beyond belief. I will share with you situations that will require you to think fast on your feet. Things you can't learn from books. Little solutions that will help you save money and a few big things to watch out for so you don't lose everything. But that's not the only thing this book is about. I will reintroduce you to something that you have already experienced many times in your life and took it for granted. A secret of the universe that God had given to each of us. This is something that is instinctive to all animals, religions teach it, and scientists are close to finding its true origin.

Download or read book Rwanda s Gamble written by Peter E. Harrell and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gacaca is an innovative form of justice that the Rwandan government will use to try the more than 100,000 participants in the 1994 genocide. Instead of putting suspects before the statutory-law courts that existed prior to 1994, the government is establishing 11,000 popularly-elected tribunals and charging them with the task of investigating and trying crimes that occurred within their territorial jurisdiction. Officials hope that this will help clear the backlog of cases while giving suspects (most of whom have spent nearly a decade in prison without a trial) a chance finally to have their cases heard. This book provides a detailed explanation of how the system will work, from the selection and training of the judges to the basics of courtroom procedure. It also places gacaca in the context of rapidly emerging restorative theories of justice, and argues for gacaca's appropriateness in the Rwandan context. Based on interviews, training manuals, documents never-before-published in the United States, and extensive travels throughout Rwanda, this book is an invaluable introductory guide to gacaca and explains why similar forms of justice should be experimented with elsewhere.

Download or read book Finding the Way written by L. Kathleen Cline and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-04-12 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's society is plagued with the notion that words are as good as deeds. Unfortunately, this attitude has crept over into Christ's church. One of the biggest complaints about churchgoers is the hypocrisy being lived out by Christians. People are taught to verbally proclaim the teachings of Christ but people are rarely taught how to live Jesus's teachings. There has been this disconnect between what a child of God believes and what a child of God actually does in their daily life. In this study, Kathleen uses a few questions, exercises and a small exploration through the Bible to help you see the truth in Christ's parables and learn how to apply them to your life. As Christ followers, we need to be diligent in making sure the message that comes out of our mouths aligns with the actions in our lives. Out of love and respect for God, children of God need to make sure our lives proclaim exactly the same message as God commanded.

Download or read book In the Neighborhood written by Peter Lovenheim and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a popular New York Times Op-Ed piece, this is the quirky, heartfelt account of one man's quest to meet his neighbors--and find a sense of community. **As seen in Parade, USA Today, The Washington Post, The Chicago Sun-Times, and more. **Winner of the Zocalo Square Book Prize, and recently named a first selection by Action Book Club. "It's impossible to read this book without feeling the urge to knock on neighbors' doors." -Chicago Sun-Times Journalist and author Peter Lovenheim lived on the same street in suburban Rochester, NY, most of his life. But it was only after a brutal murder-suicide rocked the community that he was struck by a fact of modern life in this comfortable enclave: No one knew anyone else. Thus begins Peter's search to meet and get to know his neighbors. An inquisitive person, he does more than just introduce himself. He asks, ever so politely, if he can sleep over. In this smart, engaging, and deeply felt book, Lovenheim takes readers inside the homes, minds, and hearts of his neighbors and asks a thought-provoking question: Do neighborhoods matter--and is something lost when we live among strangers?
