Synopsis

The "Malay Annals," an essential work in Malay literature, chronicles the historical account of the Malay Sultanate, intricately weaving together history, legend, and folklore. Written in a classical Malay prose style, the text employs a narrative rich in cultural symbolism and allegorical resonance, reflecting the societal values and political dynamics of its era. Its vivid portrayal of local heroes, royal genealogies, and interactions with foreign powers situates it within the broader context of Southeast Asian historiography, serving not only as a record of events but also as a lens through which the Malays understood their identity and sovereignty amidst colonial influences. The authorship of the "Malay Annals" remains anonymous, a testament to the communal nature of oral traditions and historical storytelling in Malay culture. Likely compiled by court officials or historians, the work emerged during a period of increased external engagement and internal reflection, possibly influenced by the rise of colonialism and the need to assert a distinct cultural narrative. This overt intertwining of mythology and history serves as a way to reinforce Malay identity and political legitimacy. This captivating narrative is a must-read for anyone interested in Southeast Asian history, offering profound insights into the formation of Malay identity and the complexities of governance. Scholars and casual readers alike will find the "Malay Annals" an enlightening, rich exploration of a society at a crucial juncture in its history.

    In We Will Be Heard, noted political scientist Jo Freeman chronicles the struggles of women in the United States for political power. Most of their stories are little-known, but Freeman's compelling portrait of women working for change reminds us that women have never been silent in the political affairs of the nation. From J. Ellen Foster's address to the 1892 Republican Convention to Nancy Pelosi's 2007 election as the first female Speaker of the House, women have worked to influence politics at every level. Well before most could vote, women campaigned for candidates and lobbied to shape public policy. Men welcomed their work, but not their ideas. Even with equal suffrage women faced many barriers to full political participation. The fifteen case studies of women's struggles for political influence in this book provide the historical context for today's political events. Starting with an overview of when and why political women have been studied, the three sections of the book look at different ways in whi

Like you are living somewhere else, and you can’t build connection or intimacy with God like others can?There’s a good chance that you, like so many of us, have tried it all: read your Bible more, gone to church more, prayed more, and delved deeper into self-awareness. But you still struggle with discontent, anxiety, avoidance and doubt. You still feel stuck.No matter where you find yourself emotionally, relationally, or spiritually, Jesus meets you there and helps you move toward a place of peace and rest. As pastors, coaches, and educators, Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw are very familiar with this struggle, and they are prepared to help. In Landscapes of the Soul, they draw on the science and spirituality of attachment theory, biblical wisdom, and the language of spiritual formation to show us why Christians tend to get stuck spiritually―and how to get unstuck and move forward.Whether you feel like you’re living in a spiritual jungle, desert, or war zone, you will discover:how you are designed to grow good roots through healthy relational attachmenthow things go wrong through your often-distorted survival strategieshow God repairs your faith, hope, and love for Him, others, and ourselveshow Jesus quiets your anxious and avoidant faithhow to incorporate practices for building your security with GodYou aren’t meant to live in the anxiety of a jungle, the desolation of a desert, or the chaos of a war zone.

    "A forceful call to recognize the roots of American inequality and a solid starting point for Christians who want to help fix them." —Publishers Weekly 
     
     
     
    Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been. 
     
     
     
    Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money—what some call "racial capitalism"—causes violence and exploitation. 
     
     
     
    Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He helps the contemporary church wrestle with the questions racial violence brings up: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey for racial justice? 
     
     
     
    Listeners will walk away with a better understanding of how they can resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbor more completely, and build communities of deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth telling.
