Book excerpt: Best Book of the Year NPR • The Washington Post • Boston Globe • TIME • USA Today • Entertainment Weekly • Real Simple • Parade • Buzzfeed • Electric Literature • LitHub • BookRiot • PopSugar • Goop • Library Journal • BookBub • KCRW • Finalist for the National Book Award • One of the New York Times Notable Books of the Year • One of the New York Times Best Historical Fiction of the Year • Instant New York Times Bestseller A singular and stunning debut novel about the forbidden union between two enslaved young men on a Deep South plantation, the refuge they find in each other, and a betrayal that threatens their existence. Isaiah was Samuel's and Samuel was Isaiah's. That was the way it was since the beginning, and the way it was to be until the end. In the barn they tended to the animals, but also to each other, transforming the hollowed-out shed into a place of human refuge, a source of intimacy and hope in a world ruled by vicious masters. But when an older man—a fellow slave—seeks to gain favor by preaching the master's gospel on the plantation, the enslaved begin to turn on their own. Isaiah and Samuel's love, which was once so simple, is seen as sinful and a clear danger to the plantation's harmony. With a lyricism reminiscent of Toni Morrison, Robert Jones, Jr., fiercely summons the voices of slaver and enslaved alike, from Isaiah and Samuel to the calculating slave master to the long line of women that surround them, women who have carried the soul of the plantation on their shoulders. As tensions build and the weight of centuries—of ancestors and future generations to come—culminates in a climactic reckoning, The Prophets fearlessly reveals the pain and suffering of inheritance, but is also shot through with hope, beauty, and truth, portraying the enormous, heroic power of love.

Download or read book The Tears of Jihad written by Sean Emerson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 634, an Arab army appears by surprise out of the trackless desert of Eastern Syria, moving across the land with a simple message: Convert to Islam, submit, or die. While the war-weary Byzantine Empire struggles to understand and meet this new threat, an adventure-seeking young Syrian Arab named Bashour, disenchanted with the theological controversy that wracks Christendom, accepts Islam because of its attractive simplicity and joins the invaders. Taken as booty from a town that resisted, a girl named Tamara is raped and forced into a sham marriage with a marauding Muslim. Bashour finds more adventure than he bargained for. Distinguishing himself in a rash act of bravery, he's offered a reward and chooses Tamara, whom he has admired from afar. She's the object of his adoration, but to her he's potentially one more in a line of rapists since she'd been captured. As they endure the hardships of an army on the move and a series of desperate battles, he tries to win her with kindness and heal her trauma. She, in turn, plants seeds of doubt in his new faith. Bashour must confront his crisis of faith as the war climaxes with a prolonged siege of Damascus and the treacherous betrayal of a peace pact after the city surrenders. If he makes the wrong choice, it could mean death - or his immortal soul. This story takes the reader from the Byzantine Imperial court to the command tent of the invading Muslims, the army's training grounds to intense pitched battles across the Syrian countryside. It plunges the reader into the religious and political controversies of the period, and gives the modern reader a view into the foundations of the current conflict wracking Syria. Timely and relevant to today's headlines, it provides a window into to a little-known era and provides a springboard for the reader interested in examining the earliest days of Islam.

Book excerpt: In this comprehensive and thought-provoking study, Terence Fretheim focuses on the theme of divine suffering, an aspect of our understanding of God which both the church and scholarship have neglected. Maintaining that "metaphors matter," Fretheim carefully examines the ruling and anthropomorphic metaphors of the Old Testament and discusses them in the context of current biblical-theological scholarship.

Download or read book Theology of the Prophetic Books written by Donald E. Gowan and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donald Gowan offers a unified reading of the prophetic books, showing that each has a distinctive contribution to make to a central theme. These books--Isaiah through Malachi--respond to three key moments in Israel's history: the end of the Northern Kingdom in 722 BCE, the end of the Southern Kingdom in 587 BCE, and the beginning of the restoration from the Babylonian exile in 538 BCE. Gowan traces the theme of death and resurrection throughout these accounts, finding a symbolic message of particular significance to Christian interpreters of the Bible.

Download or read book The Tears of the Rajas written by Ferdinand Mount and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tears of the Rajas is a sweeping history of the British in India, seen through the experiences of a single Scottish family. For a century the Lows of Clatto survived mutiny, siege, debt and disease, everywhere from the heat of Madras to the Afghan snows. They lived through the most appalling atrocities and retaliated with some of their own. Each of their lives, remarkable in itself, contributes to the story of the whole fragile and imperilled, often shockingly oppressive and devious but now and then heroic and poignant enterprise. On the surface, John and Augusta Low and their relations may seem imperturbable, but in their letters and diaries they often reveal their loneliness and desperation and their doubts about what they are doing in India. The Lows are the family of the author's grandmother, and a recurring theme of the book is his own discovery of them and of those parts of the history of the British in India which posterity has preferred to forget. The book brings to life not only the most dramatic incidents of their careers - the massacre at Vellore, the conquest of Java, the deposition of the boy-king of Oudh, the disasters in Afghanistan, the Reliefs of Lucknow and Chitral - but also their personal ordeals: the bankruptcies in Scotland and Calcutta, the plagues and fevers, the deaths of children and deaths in childbirth. And it brings to life too the unrepeatable strangeness of their lives: the camps and the palaces they lived in, the balls and the flirtations in the hill stations, and the hot slow rides through the dust. An epic saga of love, war, intrigue and treachery, The Tears of the Rajas is surely destined to become a classic of its kind.

Download or read book A Prophet s Cry written by Miyonda Carter and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miyonda Carter was once a new Christian, fresh from the sinful sea of life in the world. While attempting to grow in the Lord and learn the protocols of the church, Miyonda was full of zeal and passion as she embraced a new beginning as a born-again believer. Unfortunately it did not take long before she was introduced to the reality that everything she was learning in the Bible was not being exhibited within the church. In a collection of poems, prayers, and stories, Miyonda reflects on her personal journey as she discovered her spiritual gifting, grew in God, and learned to accept his unfailing love. While also focusing on helping others grow and strengthen their own intimate relationships with the Lord, Miyonda explores how the journey of a believer can be discouraging at times while providing encouragement and hope for spiritual seekers craving deep introspection that goes beyond the shallowness of regular church services and weekly Bible studies. A Prophet’s Cry shares inspirational poems, prayers, and personal stories that will lift others up to embrace God’s power and grace and break the barriers that stand between us and an intimate relationship with our Father.
