Download or read book I Call to Remembrance written by Toyo Suyemoto and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-13 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toyo Suyemoto is known informally by literary scholars and the media as "Japanese America's poet laureate." But Suyemoto has always described herself in much more humble terms. A first-generation Japanese American, she has identified herself as a storyteller, a teacher, a mother whose only child died from illness, and an internment camp survivor. Before Suyemoto passed away in 2003, she wrote a moving and illuminating memoir of her internment camp experiences with her family and infant son at Tanforan Race Track and, later, at the Topaz Relocation Center in Utah, from 1942 to 1945. A uniquely poetic contribution to the small body of internment memoirs, Suyemoto's account includes information about policies and wartime decisions that are not widely known, and recounts in detail the way in which internees adjusted their notions of selfhood and citizenship, lending insight to the complicated and controversial questions of citizenship, accountability, and resistance of first- and second-generation Japanese Americans. Suyemoto's poems, many written during internment, are interwoven throughout the text and serve as counterpoints to the contextualizing narrative. Suyemoto's poems, many written during internment, are interwoven throughout the text and serve as counterpoints to the contextualizing narrative. A small collection of poems written in the years following her incarceration further reveal the psychological effects of her experience.

Download or read book No More Faking Fine written by Esther Fleece Allen and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

Download or read book Baptism Unto Remembrance written by Unknown Hebrew and published by Unknown Hebrew. This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know the Old Testament animal sacrifices were utterly unable to atone for our sins? YAHUSHUA's death would have been entirely unnecessary if they could do so. ELOHIM provided instructions to the Israelites in the book of Leviticus on how they were to offer sacrifices for their sins. Blood needed to be spilled in order for the sacrifices to be accomplished. In the Tanakh (Old Testament) it was done with animals; in the Brit Hadasha (New Testament) it was YAHUSHUA Ha Mashiach that was the ultimate sacrifice. ELOHIM wants us to realize that sin costs something; it cost the life of His Son. In the book of Leviticus chapter 16, it talks about the Day of Atonement and it tells us how a sacrifice is needed for sins. If we look at Leviticus 17:11; it reads, “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.” Thousands of animals were being sacrificed, and it seem to have little or no effect in their behavior. ELOHIM was allowing the animal’s life to be a substitute; it is symbolically dying in our place and the biblical word for this is atonement.The ritual was to make things right between Israel and YAHUAH, and more than that, the Israelites experienced YAHUAH’s love and grace through these sacrifices; that was the ideal, but it was not always happening. Isaiah, for example talks a lot about this; he says that the continual sacrifices of the Israelites had become meaningless, because they were also allowing great evil in their midst ignoring the poor, and the oppressed. In Isaiah 1:13 YAHUAH tells us, “Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.” Isaiah told of a day when a king from the line of David would come and deal with evil. This king would become a servant; not only serving but also suffering and dying for the evil committed by the Israelites. His life would be offered as a sacrifice. YAHUSHUA used Isaiah’s words when He said in Matthew 20:28, “Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” The word “ransom” refers to His sacrifice of atonement. YAHUSHUA is the perfect sacrifice; it stopped the practice of animal sacrifices and they were given new rituals one of which was called, baptism. Baptism is the sacred ritual that joins our story to YAHUSHUA’s death. In this book we will examine what baptism unto remembrance was all about; we will look into Job and explain sin and repentance in great detail.

Download or read book Our Father Abraham written by Marvin R. Wilson and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the roots of Christianity run deep into Hebrew soil, many Christians remain regrettably uninformed about the rich Jewish heritage of the church. Our Father Abraham delineates the vital link between Judaism and Christianity, exemplified by the common ancestry of the two faiths traceable back to Abraham. Marvin Wilson calls Christians to reexamine their Semitic heritage to regain a more authentically biblical understanding of what they believe and practice. Wilson, a trusted voice among both Jews and Christians, speaks to both past and present, first developing a historical perspective on the Jewish origins of the church and then discussing how the church can become more attuned to the Hebraic mindset of Scripture. Drawing from his own extensive experience, he also offers valuable practical guidance for salutary interaction between Christians and Jews. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter make this book especially suitable for use in groups—Christian, Jewish, or interfaith—as readers strive to make sense of their own faith in connection with the other. The second edition of Our Father Abraham features a new preface, an expanded bibliography of recent relevant works, and two new chapters: one that discusses Jewish-Christian relations after the Holocaust and another that reflects on Wilson’s own fifty-plus-year career as an evangelical Christian deeply committed to interfaith dialogue. As Christians and Jews feel a growing need for mutual support in an increasingly secular Western world, Wilson’s widely acclaimed book will offer encouragement and wise guidance toward this worthy end.
