Download or read book Finding the Afikoman written by Christie Eisner and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When John and Christie were married in 1974, the fact that Christie was a Gentile and John was Jewish was not an issue to them. It was, however, an issue to John's parents who were holocaust survivors and had lost all their family in Nazi Germany. They did not want their son marrying a Gentile girl that would lead him away from his Jewish faith. While I assured them that I had no religious affiliation that would persuade him contrary to their beliefs, God had other plans. One year later John and Christie became Christians. Now that her mother-in-law's worse fear had come true, Christie decided to try to soften the blow of their conversion by acting interested in what they believed. At her first Passover celebration with John's family in 1976, Christie had a divine encounter that took her completely by surprise. She found Jesus hidden in an ancient ceremony within the Passover called "Yahatz", or "breaking" the afikoman. After that night, with an insatiable hunger to know Jesus, she began her long journey of looking for the revelation of Jesus and God's heart in all the Biblical feasts. In this book Christie shares personal stories and encounters, mostly from her journals that span over three decades. Her discoveries will broaden your understanding of scripture from their Jewish perspective, and reveal to you the family and culture that Romans 11 says that you have been grafted into. Most importantly, we pray your heart will be strengthened in the love story that is woven throughout all of the Biblical feasts. We are living in that time when God is releasing Bridal love to the Body of Christ and the purpose of this book is to leave you love-sick to know Him more and to have intimacy restored before His return
Download or read book Something Wild written by Hanna Halperin and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Propulsive . . . . Good books sometimes cut to the bone, and this one feels like a scythe." —The New York Times Book Review "This wise, brilliant novel is so special, so overflowing with honesty and love—about motherhood, sisterhood, what it’s like to be a woman—that every paragraph feels like an epiphany. Hanna Halperin knows the fierce love that can exist especially among broken things. Something Wild moved me deeply." —Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed A searing novel about the love and contradictions of sisterhood, the intoxicating desires of adolescence, and the traumas that trap mothers and daughters in cycles of violence One weekend, sisters Tanya and Nessa Bloom pause their respective adult lives and travel to the Boston suburbs to help their mother pack up and move out of their childhood home. For the first time since they were teenagers sharing a bunk bed over a decade ago, they find themselves in the place where long-kept secrets were born, where jealousy, comfort, anger, forgiveness, and repulsion coexist with the fiercest love and loyalty. What they don't expect is for their visit to expose a new, horrifying truth: their mother, Lorraine, is in a violent relationship. As Tanya urges Lorraine to get a restraining order, Nessa struggles to reconcile her fondness for their stepfather with his capacity for brutality. Their differing responses to the abuse bring up the sisters' shared secret—a traumatic, unspoken experience from their adolescence has shaped their lives, their sense of selves, and their relationship with each other and the men in their life. In the midst of this family crisis, they have no choice but to reckon with the past and face each other in the present, in the hope that there's a way out of the violence so deeply ingrained in the Bloom family. Told in alternating perspectives that deftly interweave past and present, Something Wild is a magnetic, unflinching portrait of the bond between sisters, as well as a psychologically acute exploration of the legacy of divorce, the ways trauma reverberates over generations, and how it might be possible to overcome the past.
Download or read book Heaven Exposed written by Tzvi Freeman and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For seven years, Tzvi Freeman's reweaving of ancient tales have been one of the hottest hits on the Jewish web. Now they've finally hit realspace for all the rest of us. The moon holds what would seem a hopeless argument with its Maker— who controls all that exists by voice-activated interface— and wins. The Heavenly Court noshes popcorn while entertained by 3D multimedia presentations— of bidders on a hot miracle contract. A psychotherapist discovers his client can't tolerate the laws of nature— because he was trained on the supernatural track by Heaven Incorporated. And an angel from the technical support desk discovers the secret of physicality— bringing it to market as a spiritual-to-physical travel device. Tzvi Freeman has already built a reputation for poetic literary style and depth of insight with his collection of short meditations, "Bringing Heaven Down To Earth." In Heaven Exposed, he polishes the fables of the ancients with the fiery wisdom of the Kabbalah and welds them into a golden setting of science fiction to present us with a chest of magnificent jewelry. What makes this so spectacular is that the fables and the Kabbalah are as authentic as you can get. What's even more wondrous is that such deep wisdom could be made so much fun. As the author puts it, "G-d is found in paradox— and it is paradox that makes people laugh."
Download or read book Haunting Legacy written by Marvin Kalb and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States had never lost a war—that is, until 1975, when it was forced to flee Saigon in humiliation after losing to what Lyndon Johnson called a "raggedy-ass little fourth-rate country." The legacy of this first defeat has haunted every president since, especially on the decision of whether to put "boots on the ground" and commit troops to war. In Haunting Legacy, the father-daughter journalist team of Marvin Kalb and Deborah Kalb presents a compelling, accessible, and hugely important history of presidential decisionmaking on one crucial issue: in light of the Vietnam debacle, under what circumstances should the United States go to war? The sobering lesson of Vietnam is that the United States is not invincible—it can lose a war—and thus it must be more discriminating about the use of American power. Every president has faced the ghosts of Vietnam in his own way, though each has been wary of being sucked into another unpopular war. Ford (during the Mayaguez crisis) and both Bushes (Persian Gulf, Iraq, Afghanistan) deployed massive force, as if to say, "Vietnam, be damned." On the other hand, Carter, Clinton, and Reagan (to the surprise of many) acted with extreme caution, mindful of the Vietnam experience. Obama has also wrestled with the Vietnam legacy, using doses of American firepower in Libya while still engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan. The authors spent five years interviewing hundreds of officials from every post war administration and conducting extensive research in presidential libraries and archives, and they've produced insight and information never before published. Equal parts taut history, revealing biography, and cautionary tale, Haunting Legacy is must reading for anyone trying to understand the power of the past to influence war-and-peace decisions of the present, and of the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At her first Passover Seder with John's Jewish family in 1976, Christie had a divine encounter that took her completely by surprise. She found Jesus hidden in an ancient ceremony within the Passover called "Yahatz", or "breaking" a matzo cracker called, the "afikoman". She asked Him, "What are You doing in this Jewish thing?" He answered, "All the feasts are about Me. Christianity is Jewish." After that night, with an insatiable hunger to know Jesus, she began her long journey of looking for the revelation of Jesus and God's heart in all the Biblical feasts. While her first book, Finding the Afikoman: encountering Jesus in the spring feasts, focused on the first coming of Jesus; this second book will take you on a journey with Christie through the fall feasts and Jesus' return to the earth. As in her first book, Christie will continue to share personal stories and encounters, mostly from her journals that span over four decades. Her discoveries will broaden your understanding of scripture from their Jewish perspective, and reveal to you the family and culture that Romans 11 says that you have been grafted into. What is Christie's conclusion about the feasts? "They are all about a wedding." The spring feasts begin with the courtship between Jesus and His Bride and end with a betrothal. The fall feasts begin with the consummation of His wedding and end in a glorious wedding feast! Christie's prayer is that, in reading this book, you will realize that you are part of the greatest love story ever told!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serafina and Braeden make an epic return in the hotly anticipated fourth installment of Robert Beatty's #1 New York Times best-selling series. Serafina, the Guardian of Biltmore Estate, has won battle after battle against the dark forces encroaching on her home. Now, tranquility has returned to Biltmore. Serafina doesn’t trust it. She patrols the grounds night and day, hardly sleeping, uncertain of her place after her best friend Braeden Vanderbilt's departure for boarding school in New York. When Mr. Vanderbilt, the kind master of Biltmore, asks Serafina to move upstairs into one of the house's grandest rooms, she's sure it's to keep an eye on the guests who have arrived for the estate's annual hunt. But as Serafina investigates, she becomes more and more unsettled by what Biltmore has become—a place haunted by nameless terrors where no dark corridor is safe. Even worse, she begins to doubt her own senses. Is Braeden really hundreds of miles away, or did he return to Biltmore for one strange night before vanishing? Is the bond between them truly broken or is it stronger than ever? Then Serafina witnesses a crime that turns her world upside down. How can all that once seemed good and worthy of protection now be evil? And how can she guard those around her when she can't even be sure of the truth of her own heart? Serafina and the Seven Stars marks the return of a heroine like no other, as master storyteller Robert Beatty weaves his darkest, most astonishing tale yet.
