Sinopse

Nubian Pyramid Stories unveils the fascinating history of the pyramids of Sudan, built by the Kingdom of Kush, a civilization that rivaled ancient Egypt. This book challenges the conventional focus on Egyptian pyramids by highlighting the unique architectural and cultural achievements of the Kushites. Unlike the widely recognized Egyptian pyramids, Nubian pyramids are more numerous and possess distinct design elements reflecting indigenous Kushite traditions. The book explores the Kingdom of Kush, from its early foundations in Kerma to its later centers at Napata and Meroe, and its complex relationship with Egypt, including both conflict and shared rule. It presents evidence from archaeological reports and historical texts to argue that Nubian pyramids are not mere imitations but a unique expression of Kushite culture and innovation. Readers will gain insight into why Nubian history and archaeology have been relatively overlooked.

 
Organized into four parts, the book progresses from the geographical and historical context of Nubia to the construction and symbolism of its pyramids, comparing them with Egyptian examples. It then examines archaeological discoveries supporting Kushite originality and concludes by exploring the legacy of these pyramids and ongoing preservation efforts. This approach offers a fresh perspective on African history and cultural identity.

    A Reminder of the Rights We Can't Afford to Forget - 
    Reflections on Freedom, Responsibility and What It Means to Be Human 
    What holds us together when the world feels fractured? In The Future and You, Emma Gilligan offers a quiet but powerful meditation on the enduring role of human rights and how they can ground us in a shifting world. 
    Written as a letter to her great-nephew and future generations, this deeply personal book draws on Gilligan’s lifelong commitment to global justice and moral responsibility, from the war-torn landscapes of Chechnya and Ukraine to the lecture halls of Indiana University. With clarity and purpose, she reflects on freedom, duty, dignity and the fragile beauty of being human. 
    Presented as a series of reflections, each centered on a fundamental human right, the book blends Gilligan’s values and lived experience to offer a framework for daily life. 
    This is not a manifesto or a memoir. It’s a reminder that we don’t exist in a vacuum and that courage, compassion and responsibility are already within us. We need only return to them. 
    The Future and You invites readers to remember that the freedoms to speak openly, move freely, live securely and be cared for are not guaranteed — they must be protected, practiced and passed on. 
    If you're seeking resilience, understanding or a sense of direction in uncertain times, you’ll find insight and reassurance woven throughout this concise yet powerful read. Gilligan’s whimsical illustrations add warmth and imagination to her call for introspection and renewal. 
    Emma Gilligan is an award-winning scholar and co-founder of the U.S. State Department’s Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group for Ukraine.

    Calling in Context - Social...

    "I don't care for vocational books written in the United States; they're too American." When Susan Maros heard this comment from a Malaysian colleague, she was initially taken aback. Isn't the concept of calling universal? Why wouldn't resources with a biblical perspective on vocation apply to everyone?The reality is that each of us encounters our questions of calling from within a particular context. In this paradigm-shifting book, Maros explores how various dimensions of social location—including race, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, and gender—shape our assumptions and experiences with vocation. Maros helps Christians in the United States in particular see how ideas about calling that emphasize certainty, career paths, and personal achievement arise from cultural priorities that shouldn't go unexamined, such as individualism, productivity, and meritocracy. She explains how unexamined "mental maps" can distort our perspective and refocuses our attention on biblical insights about calling as a lifelong journey. In the process, she helps us find both clarity and encouragement to explore the paths before us.God calls all people, yes—but calling is not a monolithic concept. Filled with numerous stories from Christians in diverse communities, Calling in Context invites anyone exploring questions of calling to find fresh possibilities in their own identity and engagement with God's mission. Reflection questions and Bible study prompts are included throughout.

    Yes or No? 
    Have you ever been stuck in the past? Running around and around only to find that you are right where you were in the beginning? 
    Have you ever fought so hard to break free only to be dragged back in? Ever felt like you couldn't be loved? Couldn't be cherished? 
    Have you ever hurt so much to the point where you were bleeding and crying, but numb at the same time? 
    That you were worthless and nothing, but refused to give up? 
    Did you answer yes? 
    Then come find the way out with Ashton, a renowned neurosurgeon, who was kidnapped, raped, beaten, and forced to kill. Only to find she couldn't escape. Until she fell in love with an angel. 
    Demons—the most dangerous creatures, and Angels—the purest of all beings. For Ashton Lure, a renowned neurosurgeon, these beings only existed in mythological stories. Or so she thought... And, when she found herself in the Demon Realm, she could only wonder, can I truly be free from him? 
    The demons weren't all bad, and the angels weren’t all pure, and somehow, they became a family—something Ashton had missed all her life. But just when she thought she could live without her painful nightmares, the dark past she tried to hide got in the way, threatening to leave her in ruins yet again.
