Under the Divided Sky

Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

In the aftermath of World War II, Berlin, a city once pulsating with life, found itself divided, a stark symbol of the ideological chasm that cleaved the world in two. Under the Divided Sky takes readers on a poignant journey through this fractured metropolis, seen through the eyes of Major John Turner, a British intelligence officer tasked with navigating the treacherous terrain of a city yearning for unity.

Turner's mission is to understand the complexities of Berlin's division, to bridge the growing divide between its people, and to foster a fragile peace in the shadow of the looming Berlin Wall. As he delves into the city's hidden corners, he uncovers the clandestine battles being waged for the hearts and minds of its people. The propaganda war rages fiercely, each side seeking to sway public opinion and consolidate their power. Turner finds himself caught in the crossfire of ideologies, a witness to the human cost of a divided world.

The Berlin Wall, a physical manifestation of division, becomes a symbol of oppression and a stark reminder of the deep-seated ideological divide. Turner witnesses the construction of this infamous barrier, a stark reminder of the Cold War's chilling reality. He sees families torn apart, communities severed, and the free flow of ideas and people stifled. Yet, even in the darkest of times, the human spirit endures.

Under the Divided Sky is a poignant tale of a city's struggle to survive and its people's unwavering belief in a unified future. It is a story of resilience, courage, and the power of hope in the face of adversity. Through Turner's eyes, readers will witness the human toll of division, the indomitable spirit of the Berliners, and the transformative power of unity.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Cold War, the struggle for freedom and democracy, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It is a story that will resonate with readers long after they finish the final page.

Brittany Salmon

Embrace the beauty and challenges of transracial adoption.Being an adoptive parent is hard enough. But when your family is multiracial, things get even trickier. Parenting transracially doesn’t come naturally, nor does it just happen with time. Love is essential—yet by itself, love isn’t enough.

And yet, when an adoptive family honors the ethnic heritages of their children, the whole family—as well as the watching world—gets to see the beauty of a gloriously creative God.In It Takes More Than Love, Brittany Salmon shares her own family’s story of transracial adoption and offers a biblically-based guide for others following the same path. Brittany recognizes that we live in divided times and there are extra challenges whenever race is part of the conversation. But with wise insight and hard-won experience, she provides guidance about topics such as:Maintaining a Gospel perspective throughout the journeyCelebrating your child’s history and heritageConfronting racismResponding to comments about your familyAvoiding pitfalls in adoptionHelping your kids feel represented in your home and communityNo one is promising transracial adoption will be easy—least of all Brittany! Yet the extra effort is balanced by a beauty that images our eternal destiny. Until the day God makes all things new, the welcoming an inclusive transracial family can help fulfill Jesus’s words, “on earth as it is in heaven.”

Capitalism - The Story behind...

Michael Sonenscher

What exactly is capitalism? How has the meaning of capitalism changed over time? And what's at stake in our understanding or misunderstanding of it? In Capitalism, Michael Sonenscher examines the history behind the concept and pieces together the range of subjects bound up with the word. Sonenscher shows that many of our received ideas fail to pick up the work that the idea of capitalism is doing for us, without us even realizing it. 
 
 
 
"Capitalism" was first coined in France in the early nineteenth century. It began as a fusion of two distinct sets of ideas. The first involved thinking about public debt and war finance. The second involved thinking about the division of labor. Sonenscher shows that thinking about the first has changed radically over time. Funding welfare has been added to funding warfare, bringing many new questions in its wake. Thinking about the second set of ideas has offered far less room for maneuver. The division of labor is still the division of labor and the debates and discussions that it once generated have now been largely forgotten. By exploring what lay behind the earlier distinction before it collapsed and was eroded by the passage of time, Sonenscher shows why the present range of received ideas limits our political options and the types of reform we might wish for.
