of the Universe. His belief stands alone against the entire pagan world. As progenitor of the Jewish people, he will save all of humanity. Avraham Avinu’s life is an amazing story of trial and tribulation, of triumph against overwhelming odds. It combines the epitome of loving kindness with perfect faith and unwavering obedience to Hashem. Avraham’s strength in overcoming every ordeal was indelibly transmitted into the very being of his descendants ― the Jewish nation. Let My Nation Begin fills in the details, based on Talmudic and Midrashic sources and works of Rishonim and Acharonim throughout the millennia. His tenth volume in the Let My Nation series, Rabbi Yosef Deutsch enthralls with his trademark drama, humor, and attention to facts. Nimrod’s fiery furnace, the war against the Alliance of the Four Kings, the Akeidah ― read about Avraham’s ten tests as if you were there, and learn the secret of our nation’s great beginning.Moon Japan: Plan Your Trip, Avoid the Crowds, and Experience the Real Japan (Travel Guide)

Par Tikva Frymer-Kensky. 2024
Four simple rules, amazing results—how wisdom from an overlooked biblical hero can change your life! Tikva Frymer-Kensky shows readers…
how a seemingly minor story in the first book of Samuel can teach them key lessons to dramatically improve their lives. Saul, abandoned by God, approaches a medium in the village of Endor to call up the spirit of Samuel. Though Saul had outlawed her craft, she helped him when he promised her safety. And after Samuel prophesied Saul&’s death, she showed the shaken king hospitality. Determination. Excellence. Caution. Benevolence. Four qualities of the &“witch&” of Endor will bring you success, even when the whole world stands against you. Are you ready to follow your dreams? To succeed when others tell you to give up? Embrace the wisdom of a little-known hero from the Bible—and see how it leads you to the life you were meant to live.NIV, Couples' Devotional Bible: Growing Together in Christ

Par Bradford A. Anderson. 2024
Hosea, Joel, and Obadiah Through the Centuries The first book devoted solely to the reception history of Hosea, Joel, and…
Obadiah How have readers through the centuries understood the prophet Hosea’s marriage to an unfaithful woman? Does the prophet Joel really speak about a locust invasion, or is he referring to invading armies? How should we understand the harsh rhetoric that Obadiah uses about Judah’s neighbor Edom? In Hosea, Joel, and Obadiah Through the Centuries, Bradford A. Anderson provides historical context for these prophetic texts and traditions while offering original insights into their interpretation, use, and impact. Chapter-by-chapter commentary examines the use of these texts in different religious communities, surveys various commentaries and interpretive traditions, and addresses the social and cultural employment of these prophetic works in literature, music, the visual arts, and more. Each prophetic text is introduced by a chapter containing a brief history of interpretation and discussion of key historical, literary issues, theological, thematic, and rhetorical issues, as well as the religious, social, and cultural reception of the prophet and the book. Throughout the text, recurring “conversation partners” high-light important and interesting trajectories in the afterlives of the prophetic books. Encompassing Christian, Jewish, and modern critical reception, Hosea, Joel, and Obadiah Through the Centuries is an excellent textbook for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students working on these prophetic works, and a must-have resource for scholars, clergy, and religious leaders interested in how the prophets have been employed over the millennia.The Prophets (Perennial Classics Ser.)

Man Is Not Alone and God in Search of Man.“A brilliant study of the Hebrew prophets, one of the most penetrating works . . . [of] our time.”— Will HerbergWhen it was first published in 1962, The Prophets was hailed as a masterpiece. Since then, Heschel's classic work has stood the test of time. The Prophets provides a unique opportunity for readers of all faiths to gain a fresh perspective and deep knowledge of the Old Testament and Israel’s ancient prophetic movement. Heschel’s profound understanding of the prophets and detailed examinations of them, including Amos, Hosea, Isahiah, Micah, and Jeremiah, offers crucial insights into the philosophy of religion that continue to hold relevance for modern scholars and laymen alike.Time to Eat!
