Beschreibung

In "Germany in War Time: What an American Girl Saw and Heard," Mary Ethel McAuley presents a vivid and personal account of life in Germany during World War I. Written in a straightforward yet evocative style, the book combines travel writing with poignant observations of a society stricken by conflict. McAuley deftly captures the complexities of the era, portraying not only the struggles of the German people but also the cultural contradictions inherent in wartime. Through a series of engaging anecdotes and sharp reflections, she challenges the reader to grapple with the moral ambiguity that characterized both sides of the conflict. Mary Ethel McAuley, an American expatriate, was deeply influenced by her experiences living in Europe before and during the war. Her unique perspective as a foreigner allowed her to traverse social and political boundaries, providing insight into the German psyche during a tumultuous period. Her background and firsthand experiences lead her to create a work that is not only personal but also reflective of broader themes of nationalism and human resilience. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in historical narratives, feminist literature, and the personal dimensions of war. McAuley'Äôs balanced portrayal offers a rare glimpse into the life of ordinary Germans, challenging prevailing stereotypes and encouraging empathy. It serves as a reminder of the human costs of conflict, making it an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of war.

    Read by the author. 
    Asking the hard questions about immigration in light of Jesus' call to love our neighbors as ourselves. 
    You've seen the headlines. You've watched the TV footage. People around the world are in dire situations and on the move. Current estimates suggest over 100 million people are forcibly displaced from their homes and seeking refuge in other countries. It seems as if everyone wants to come to the U.S., and if we're honest, that gives many of us pause. 
    We wonder how it would impact our culture and communities if we showed welcome to the world, and many of us wonder how to separate the political rhetoric and talking points on present day immigration from what the Bible really has to say about immigrants and strangers. 
    Start with Welcome dives into the whole narrative of Scripture to better understand what God calls us to do concerning immigrants and refugees. Bri Stensrud will guide you through pressing questions that will ignite your compassion and leave you curious about our calling as followers of Christ—questions like:Is Immigration a Pro-Life Issue?What does the Bible say about Immigrants?Who is Welcome here?What does Christlike Welcome look like? 
      
    You have questions. You have fears. But you also have compassion. 
    So, let's start there. 
    Bri Stensrud welcomes you into the conversation—a conversation that’s more urgent now than ever. It all starts with one word: Welcome.

    We all have a natural emotional healing process, just as we do a natural physical healing process within us. When we get a wound, our bodies' natural healing process takes care of it. When emotionally painful events occur in our lives, we usually manage to overcome them and move on with our lives. On the other hand, a cut does not always heal until it has been cleaned and an antibiotic has been applied. Similarly, when something emotionally upsetting occurs, the brain's processing system isn't always able to absorb it and put it into the context of our entire lives without assistance. Sometimes we are completely unaware of what is going on.Although the image of the incident may not come to us consciously, we may feel unworthy, sad, afraid, or nauseous. We may be unaware that we are being swamped with dysfunctionally stored material from the past. We may act in ways we later regret and not wholly comprehend why. The EMDR method recognizes that you aren't reacting on purpose; the triggered memories are at the root of your actions that aren't consistent with who you are now. EMDR can assist the brain's processing system repair emotional wounds in the same way that an antibiotic ointment can help cure a cut. It's still your own internal process conducting the healing; EMDR simply "jump starts" it when it's needed and speeds it up.Once the isolated "land mine" of trauma has been reprocessed using EMDR, it is neutralized, meaning it will no longer go off and flood into the present. It's woven into the fabric of your existence, so it appears to be over and cannot derail you from your current state of bliss.The information appears to be stimulated, and the brain can reprocess the situation due to eye movements or other bilateral stimulation. Eye movements are only a tiny part of EMDR. In processing traumatic memories, current concerns, or future fears, integrates imagery, beliefs, emotions, and physical sensations.

    Justinian I, known to history as Justinian the Great, ruled as the Byzantine emperor from 527 until his death in 565. His reign is marked by a series of ambitious efforts to revive the grandeur of the Roman Empire, although many of these goals were only partially realized. This vision, known as the renovatio imperii or "reinstatement of the Empire," encapsulated his drive to restore Roman territories lost to barbarian invasions and to reassert imperial authority across the Mediterranean world. 
    One of the most prominent aspects of Justinian's renovatio imperii was the partial reconquest of the western provinces of the fallen Roman Empire. His military campaigns, led by the brilliant general Belisarius, achieved remarkable successes. Belisarius swiftly captured the Vandal Kingdom in North Africa, establishing Byzantine control over the region. Shortly thereafter, he, along with other generals like Narses, waged a series of successful campaigns against the Ostrogoths in Italy, eventually reclaiming key territories such as Dalmatia, Sicily, Rome, and much of Italy. This marked the end of the Ostrogothic Kingdom, which had ruled for over fifty years. Additionally, under the leadership of the praetorian prefect Liberius, the Byzantines reasserted control over the Iberian Peninsula, establishing the province of Spania. These victories re-established Roman dominance in the western Mediterranean and brought in substantial annual revenues, estimated at over a million solidi.

    Author-narrated nonfiction outline of comprehensive details of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, based on recently discovered documents found in the UK Archives.  These secret documents reveal the true story of events leading up to the statehood of Israel, while explaining why the Arab Palestinians refused statehood when Palestine was under British rule.  This author chooses not to offer a Two-State Solution (although she has one).  Rather, she hope that the readers will come to their own conclusions while realizing that the previous "solutions" could never work with neighbors who continually attack the Jews since being given lands known as Gaza and the West Bank.
