Download or read book Lamentation For A Beloved Country written by Peter Essoka and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-12-09 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I read through this compendium of reflections, I see in all of it a constructive critical x-ray of a blessed Nation that has undergone systematic degradation. Cameroon is a Nation blessed with a variety of natural and quality human resources. On the overall, some Cameroonians are peace-loving, law-abiding, patriotic and could even be termed God-fearing. But what accounts for the very high degree of poverty, corruption, bribery, embezzlement, multi-party electoral fraud, unemployment and decadence in all its forms? All of us Cameroonians are responsible for this brazen sad situation. We do not assume our roles and responsibilities adequately and we blame our situation on others. The Universal Church on whom we ought to count does not seem to be helping the situation either. Unspeakable indeed!
Download or read book Dark Clouds Deep Mercy written by Mark Vroegop and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lament is how you live between the poles of a hard life and trusting God’s goodness. Lament is how we bring our sorrow to God—but it is a neglected dimension of the Christian life for many Christians today. We need to recover the practice of honest spiritual struggle that gives us permission to vocalize our pain and wrestle with our sorrow. Lament avoids trite answers and quick solutions, progressively moving us toward deeper worship and trust. Exploring how the Bible—through the psalms of lament and the book of Lamentations—gives voice to our pain, this book invites us to grieve, struggle, and tap into the rich reservoir of grace and mercy God offers in the darkest moments of our lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Sacvan Bercovitch’s The American Jeremiad first appeared in 1978, it was hailed as a landmark study of dissent and cultural formation in America, from the Puritans’ writings through the major literary works of the antebellum era.

Download or read book Foreign Policy in the Age of Globalization Populism and Nationalism written by Fred Aja Agwu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book propounds the thesis that it was the dysfunction of globalization and liberalism that prompted the rise of nationalism and populism. Recent developments in global affairs are challenging assumptions and the basis upon which international relations, as a broad field of specialization, and foreign policy analysis, as a sub-field, rests. In a world that is changing in fundamental and irreversible ways, this book intervenes to enable an improved sense of understanding of these developments and what they mean for people-people, state-state, continent-continent, and global relations, moving forward. The author shows anti-globalization and the growth of nationalism and populism have been particularly necessitated by the failures of liberalism and America’s abdication from the world. With reference to Brexit, the pandemic, the US 2020 elections and consequent shifts in power, with a focus on their respective impacts on Africa, and Africa-Sino relations particularly, and developing countries, more broadly, this book situates these discussions within a global context. It effectively illustrates the insufficiency of the West’s soft power, especially as it is foisted or supposedly imposed on the rest of the world without regard to the demands of cultural relativity. Relevant to postgraduate students, researchers, and policymakers, this is must-read within the fields of international relations and political economy.
