  We live in a world of oppositional relationships and increasing in-group/out-group divisions. Christian sociologist Matthew Vos explains how the problem of the stranger lies at the root of many problems humanity faces, such as racism, sexism, and nationalism. He applies classic sociological theory on "the stranger" to matters of faith and social justice, showing that an identity in Christ frees us to love strangers as neighbors and friends. The book also includes two guest chapters, one on intersex persons and the church and one on stranger-making in the "correctional" system.

  It's one thing to live an extraordinary life but another to live multiple lifetimes. 
  Author Alla Kaluzhny knew her life was not her only one. What started as an interest in past lives quickly became a calling as she set out to discover her past lifetimes. Through meditation and guidance, she was able to connect with her past selves and eventually pen it in an illuminating read. 
  In her book, "Turning the Pages," she pens her experiences from her past lives. From existing as a courageous knight in battle to living as a humble Mayan girl—the author intricately links her past lives with her current one. 
  Aside from her experiences, she also writes down her observations. By utilizing her keen senses, the author was able to weave past events and figure out how it affects her present. Knowing how these chains of events occur enables her to discover some lessons she must learn and issues she must resolve. As she writes about her connection with her past selves, I feel that we, too, must understand how to do the same if our souls are to become better versions in the next lifetime. 
  The author also writes about lessons on self-forgiveness, patience, and kindness. When you live multiple lifetimes, it's easy to assume that some lives may be more difficult than others. However, the author makes it a point never to assume the quality of life based on how it ended. It was truly humbling to read about her experience with her former life as a Mayan girl, which may be my favorite part of the book so far! 
  Nevertheless, "Turning the Pages" is a tour de force of self-exploration—not just in this life but all of them as we continue the cycle. If you have questions about past lives and how they can affect your pages, this book can answer them.

  There are different thoughts, beliefs, and traditions for the timing of the death, burial and resurrection from the dead of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To come to the correct answer about this event, we must first disregard the traditions of man, and this also means the traditions of the church. 
  If we are going to get to the truth, then we must rely only on the word of God. His holy bible. The answer to this question is in the bible, it just needs you to follow the clues and believe what you read. 
  One point I found very interesting about this is that the women hold all the clues that will lead us to the correct conclusion on this matter. Yet in the days of Jesus Christ, they thought women to be a lower-class citizen and their testimonies held very little value in a court. This is much the same today in many countries around the world.  
  I believe God reveals the truth to us through the activities of the women. Follow their responses to what happened on that fateful day. Observe their obedience to the Sabbath commandments for both the weekly Sabbath, and the Sabbath marking the start of the feast of unleavened bread. God used these remarkable women to show us He does not regard our women as lower-class citizens, but sees us all as equals. Jesus had many women following him during his ministry, and most of them supported him financially, as some of them were wealthy women in their own right. Jesus never looked at women as being inferior, but saw all of his followers as brothers and sisters. 
  This most important day in all of our history has many parts to it, and the women hold the key to unlocking the truth about the day, and the time Jesus was both crucified and resurrected from the dead. Follow their story for yourself and uncover the lies many believe about our Lord’s final hours and his resurrection from the dead.

  In a land on the brink of change, one woman must summon courage to claim the freedom she longs for. ~~ Born into slavery on a South Carolina plantation, Delphina’s quiet strength was shaped in hardship. As unrest spreads across the South and talk of secession stirs fear, she is torn from the only home she has known. Bennett, the disillusioned son of a plantation owner, carries her west, holding out the promise of freedom and new beginnings. ~~ But dreams shatter quickly. When Bennett dies suddenly, Delphina is left with nothing but her newborn daughter and the fear of being forced back into bondage. With no proof of marriage or freedom papers, she cannot protect herself—or her child. Hope arrives with the Shankel family, who welcome her despite society’s scorn. Survival demands more than shelter. Delphina must draw on her faith and resilience to carve a life beyond fear. ~~ Moses, a freedman marked by his own struggles, sees in Delphina a strength that humbles him. Though he has little, he offers loyalty, courage, and a love that could anchor them both—if she dares to trust it. Together, they face prejudice, loss, and the fragile beginnings of a new life, stitching hope into an uncertain world. ~~ Will Delphina find the courage to embrace love and freedom when both feel beyond reach? ~~ Inspirational Christmas Story - Christian Historical Romance - Standalone in the Discerning God’s Best series - Timeline: 1860–1861 ~~ Series order: Desire of My Heart; With All My Heart; Stitched on My Heart (novella); Matters of the Heart; Healing of the Heart; Written on My Heart; A Place to Belong (novella); Keeper of My Heart (preorder).
