Book Trust beyond Borders

Download or read book Trust beyond Borders written by Markus M. L. Crepaz and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-04-23 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will immigration undermine the welfare state? Trust beyond Borders draws on public opinion data and case studies of Germany, Sweden, and the United States to document the influence of immigration and diversity on trust, reciprocity, and public support for welfare programs. Markus M. L. Crepaz demonstrates that we are, at least in some cases, capable of trusting beyond borders: of expressing faith in our fellow humans and extending help without regard for political classifications. In Europe, the welfare state developed under conditions of relative homogeneity that fostered high levels of trust among citizens, while in America anxiety about immigration and diversity predated the emergence of a social safety net. Looking at our new era of global migration, Crepaz traces the renewed debate about "us" versus "them" on both sides of the Atlantic and asks how it will affect the public commitment to social welfare. Drawing on the literatures on immigration, identity, social trust, and the welfare state, Trust beyond Borders presents a novel analysis of immigration's challenge to the welfare state and a persuasive exploration of the policies that may yet preserve it. "Crepaz contributes much to our knowledge about the link between immigration and social welfare, certainly one of the central issues in current national and international politics." ---Stuart Soroka, Associate Professor of Political Science and William Dawson Scholar, McGill University "Finally! A book that challenges the growing view that ethnic diversity is the enemy of social solidarity. It addresses an issue of intense debate in Western nations; it takes dead aim at the theoretical issues at the center of the controversy; it deploys an impressive array of empirical evidence; and its conclusions represent a powerful corrective to the current drift of opinion. Trust beyond Borders will rank among the very best books in the field." ---Keith Banting, Queen's Research Chair in Public Policy, Queen's University "Do mass immigration and ethnic diversity threaten popular support for the welfare state? Trust beyond Borders answers no. Marshaling an impressive array of comparative opinion data, Crepaz shows that countries with high levels of social trust and universal welfare state arrangements can avoid the development of the welfare chauvinism that typically accompanies diversity." ---Gary Freeman, Professor and Department Chair, Department of Government, University of Texas at Austin Markus M. L. Crepaz is Professor in the Department of International Affairs at the University of Georgia and Associate Director of the Center for the Study of Global Issues (GLOBIS).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1980, Pamela Alexander and her husband, Jimmy, felt led by God to open a bed and breakfast and were led to Psalm 37 within a short time of that calling. Through this passage, they learned how to wait upon the Lord and how best to prepare and build a B&B. Meanwhile, they trained in the art of hospitality and grew in His wisdom. Thirteen years later, they opened the Alexander Bed & Breakfast Acres (ABBA). Trust without Borders presents an exploration of Psalm 37. In this study, Pamela examines how God wants us to trust Him with all of our being, showing that when we worship Him in that obedience, He blesses us abundantly with joy and peace. She reveals that trust is our gift back to God, and that He is pleased by the beauty of a trusting heart, and that trust demonstrates the meaning of living by grace rather than works. She also considers these questions: Is it trust only when we get our way? How do trust and entering His rest comingle? Why is gratefulness a foremost quality of a trusting follower of Christ? Join Pamela in fellowship and in study of Gods Word, and learn how to trust God with everything and every need of your life.

  • Pages : 299 pages

Download or read book Kingdom Without Borders written by Miriam Adeney and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2015-08-10 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-first century has opened with a rapidly changing map of Christianity. While its influence is waning in some of its traditional Western strongholds, it is growing at a phenomenal pace in the global South. And yet this story has largely eluded the corporate news brokers of the West. Layered as it is with countless personal and corporate stories of remarkable faith and witness, it nevertheless lies ghostlike behind the newsprint and webpages of our print media, outside the camera's vision on the network evening news. Miriam Adeney has lived, traveled and ministered widely. She has walked with Christians in and from the far reaches of the globe. As she pulls back the veil on real Christians--their faith, their hardships, their triumphs and, yes, their failures--an inspiring and challenging story of a kingdom that knows no borders takes shape. This is a book that coaxes us out of our comfortable lives. It beckons us to expand our vision and experience of the possibilities and promise of a faith that continues to shape lives, communities and nations.

Book Trust Without Borders  Courage Like No Other

Download or read book Trust Without Borders Courage Like No Other written by I. Ariel Maskil and published by Trilogy Christian Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If God answered my dire prayer to be used mightily, would I be willing to step up to the plate by listening, obeying, and trusting in Him? Or would I tell Him what He was asking for is too much? The story is about answered prayers, listening to the Lord, obeying His Words, and trusting in Him for protection. The remnant group of believers lived in an exceedingly small northern village named Bethel, nestled between several mountain ranges in the year 2027. The Christian community always prayed at their gatherings and services that God would use them mightily. One day, the Lord spoke to the group as an answer to their prayer.The Lord asked them to "stand their ground" for the Lord and to defend the village. As it became apparent that the Lord was truly talking about physically defending the village, the membership dwindled down to seventy mostly aged members. The various believers in the groups utilized their earthly talents based upon God's divine plan. The six days of battles were brutal, but the Lord instructed them to keep their focus upon Him and not their victories. "In all things, give praise and glory to the Lord for the victory belongs to the Lord." When one wants to be used mightily by the Lord, one needs to be ready to be a sacrificial lamb and respond with trust, and through faith, courage and protection will be granted for those who obey.

Book Love Without Borders

Download or read book Love Without Borders written by Angela Braniff and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the founder of This Gathered Nest YouTube channel, an uplifting story of Angela Braniff's unusual path to becoming the mother to seven children through various methods of adoption and biological approaches, encouraging women and mothers to embrace the unique purpose that God has put in their lives. Angela’s love for life and her family radiates through everything she does. The Braniff household includes their two biological daughters, Kennedy, 12, and Shelby 10; Rosie, 7, who was adopted from China with Down syndrome; Noah, 7, adopted from Congo; Jonah 5, adopted domestically; and finally, Ivy and Amelia, their one year old twins who were adopted as embryos, and implanted in Angela, who gave birth to them. In fact, after the book was finished, they joyfully welcomed a new baby into their home, Benjamin, through adoption, making them now a family of ten! Love Without Borders shares Angela's relatable, humorous, and honest view of motherhood. Angela chronicles her journey to discover God’s purpose for her life. For years she walked the safe, expected path, until one day she could feel God calling her to boldly step out and follow him into new places, which led her to raise a large, non-traditional family that looked different than she ever imagined. It was a winding path to motherhood, complete with heartbreak from failed adoptions, challenging pregnancies, and secondary infertility, but through it all Angela found the unique adventure God had for her. She has shared her family’s stories on her popular YouTube channel, This Gathered Nest, and now invites us in to go deeper and listen to where God might be calling us to go and who we’ve been tasked with loving, no matter how unusual (or just plain crazy) it may sound! The beauty of God’s plan is he uses imperfect people to bring about perfectly beautiful stories.
