Sinopse

In "My First Mission," George Q. Cannon offers a poignant narrative that encapsulates the formative experiences of a young missionary. Written in the early 20th century, Cannon's literary style combines candid autobiographical reflection with vivid descriptive passages, rich in emotional depth. The book not only serves as a personal memoir but also engages with the broader socio-religious context of the time, exploring themes of faith, resilience, and the trials faced by members of the Latter-day Saints community in their mission work. Through episodic storytelling, Cannon immerses readers in his journey, blending cultural observations with spiritual insights about the nature of service and devotion. Cannon, a prominent leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was deeply influenced by his own early experiences in missionary work. His background, arising from a robust heritage of faith and community, provides a foundation for the book's exploration of religious duty and moral fortitude. Through his encounters and reflections, Cannon not only documents his mission but also sheds light on the transformative power of faith in challenging circumstances. This captivating account is highly recommended for those interested in religious narratives, personal transformation, or the historical context of missionary activities. "My First Mission" serves as both a significant theological treatise and a relatable coming-of-age story, appealing to readers seeking an authentic glimpse into the life of early Mormon missionaries.

    After twenty years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, a global pandemic, protests against racial violence, and frequent shootings, more Americans than ever are living with the effects of trauma. The good news is that Jesus was born and died in a traumatized world, and his story speaks forever to wounded people worldwide. Army veteran and Episcopal priest David Peters explores Jesus' life story through the post-traumatic lens with which the Gospel writers first wrote it—as people who had seen their leader executed by the same oppressive government that had already shrouded their whole lives in anxiety and fear. Meeting the post-traumatic Jesus—the only Jesus the world has ever known—can be a balm to the wounds of modern Christians and spiritual seekers.

    First published in 1957, Nathan Glazer’s classic, historical study of Judaism in America has been described by the New York Times Book Review as “a remarkable story . . . told briefly and clearly by an objective historical mind, yet with a fine combination of sociological insight and religious sensitivity.”
     
    Glazer’s new introduction describes the drift away from the popular equation of American Judaism with liberalism during the last two decades and considers the threat of divisiveness within American Judaism. Glazer also discusses tensions between American Judaism and Israel as a result of a revivified Orthodoxy and the disillusionment with liberalism.“American Judaism has been arguably the best known and most used introduction to the study of the Jewish religion in the United States. . . . It is an inordinately clear-sighted work that can be read with much profit to this day.”—American Jewish History

    Revelation

    Many people today regard Revelation as the hardest book in the New Testament. It is full of strange, lurid and sometimes bizarre and violent imagery. As a result, many people who are quite at home in the Gospels, Acts and Paul find themselves tiptoeing around Revelation with a sense that they don't really belong there. But they do!
    In fact, Revelation offers one of the clearest and sharpest visions of God's ultimate purpose for the whole creation, and of the way in which the powerful forces of evil, at work in a thousand ways, can be and are being overthrown through the victory of Jesus the Messiah and the consequent costly victory of his followers.
    Like the other guides in the N.T. Wright for Everyone series, Revelation brings you into a fresh encounter with Scripture under the guidance of one of the world's leading New Testament scholars. Thoughtful questions, prayer suggestions, and useful background information guide you and your group through each study.
