Book Description
"Jesus's words 'the poor you will always have with you' (Matthew 26:11) are regularly used to suggest that ending poverty is impossible. In this book Liz Theoharis critically examines both the biblical text and the lived reality of the poor to show how this passage is taken out of context and distorted. Poverty is not inevitable, Theoharis argues. It is a systemic sin, and all Christians have a responsibility to partner with the poor to end poverty once and for all"--Jacket

They Always Call Us Ladies
Author: Jean Harris
Publisher: Zebra Books
ISBN: 9780821743140
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Jean Struven Harris was the perfect headmistress of the posh, exclusive Maderia School for girls in Virginia. Her conservative, well-tailored clothes were suggestive of the impeccable good sense she imparted to her students. But in March of 1980 Jean fell into despair over the end of her 15 year relationship with Dr. Herman Tarnower. She bought a gun, decided to visit Hy and then kill herself. Tragically, the bullets intended for Jean struck Hy. After a 14 week trial Jean Harris was sentenced to 15 years to life in prision. Bad food, cold, dampness, shrieks in the night; Jean Harris's recent life is a far cry from the privilege to which she was accustomed. But amidst the horror and hardship of prision she has recaptured her efficient, motivating energy. She now devotes herself to helping her fellow inmates, including those with children born in prison. More than halfway to her first opportunity for parole, Harris had developed a resilience she didn't know she had. Far away in time and place from the Madeira School, Jean Harris is teaching again, preparing women to face life. They aren't the young ladies from private school, they are convicted felons; but they need her help and she is giving it, while also offering hope in the bleak world she now inhabits. Her students may be prisoners but they are ladies just the same.

These People Have Always Been a Republic
Author: Maurice S. Crandall
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469652676
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Spanning three hundred years and the colonial regimes of Spain, Mexico, and the United States, Maurice S. Crandall's sweeping history of Native American political rights in what is now New Mexico, Arizona, and Sonora demonstrates how Indigenous communities implemented, subverted, rejected, and indigenized colonial ideologies of democracy, both to accommodate and to oppose colonial power. Focusing on four groups--Pueblos in New Mexico, Hopis in northern Arizona, and Tohono O'odhams and Yaquis in Arizona/Sonora--Crandall reveals the ways Indigenous peoples absorbed and adapted colonially imposed forms of politics to exercise sovereignty based on localized political, economic, and social needs. Using sources that include oral histories and multinational archives, this book allows us to compare Spanish, Mexican, and American conceptions of Indian citizenship, and adds to our understanding of the centuries-long struggle of Indigenous groups to assert their sovereignty in the face of settler colonial rule.

Once Saved, Always Saved?
Author: David Pawson
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
The majority Evangelical view is that once someone has accepted Christ as Saviour they are guaranteed salvation. But is it safe to assume that once we are saved, we are saved for always? David Pawson investigates this through biblical evidence, historical figures such as Augustine, Luther and Wesley, and evangelical assumptions about grace and justification, divine sovereignty and human responsibility. He asks whether something more than being born again is required so that our inheritance is not lost. This book helps us decide whether ‘once saved, always saved’ is real assurance or a misleading assumption. The answer will have profound effects on the way we live and disciple others.
