The tree of life: How a holocaust sapling inspired the world
Par Elisa Boxer. 2024
Hope triumphs over fear in this poignant and impactful true story of the Holocaust—a delicate introduction to World War Two…
history for older audioook listeners. During World War Two, in the concentration camp Terezin, a group of Jewish children and their devoted teacher planted and nurtured a smuggled-in sapling. Over time fewer and fewer children were left to care for the little tree, but those who remained kept lovingly sharing their water with it. When the war finally ended and the prisoners were freed, the sapling had grown into a strong five-foot-tall maple. Nearly eighty years later the tree’s 600 descendants around the world are thriving . . . including one that was planted at New York City’s Museum of Jewish Heritage in 2021. Students will continue to care for it for generations to come, and the world will remember the brave teacher and children who never gave up nurturing a brighter futureLe royaume caché (Rêve et vie)
Par Éloi Leclerc. 1987
Eloi Leclerc, bien connu par ses ouvrages sur François d'Assise, introduit le lecteur dans une nouvelle et bouleversante découverte de…
l'Évangile. Au seuil de la jeunesse, l'auteur est passé, dans les camps de la mort, par l'épreuve du silence de Dieu. Devenu particulièrement sensible à l'immensité de la détresse qui peut submerger les hommes, une question le poursuit : dans la nuit de la mort où Dieu se tait, quelle espérance l'Évangile peut-il encore apporter ? En méditant les évangiles, l'auteur cherche à rencontrer un visage, une présence. " L'homme qui annonce au monde la tendresse de Dieu pour la terre a connu l'expérience la plus crucifiante de l'absence de Dieu. La révélation de Dieu en Jésus se fait au cœur même de la condition humaine la plus abandonnée." La vérité de l'Évangile tient à la profondeur de cette expérience de Jésus. L'auteur en est convaincu. Et sa lecture des grandes pages des évangiles, qui se distingue par la justesse exégétique et par une émouvante sobriété de ton, en porte la marque, comme s'il conviait le lecteur à un sérieux inhabituel, à une attention extrême, pour rencontrer Jésus. Ce livre, qui laisse deviner un voyage intérieur, s'adresse aux femmes et aux hommes de ce temps qui, de tant de manières, font l'épreuve de l'absence et du silence de Dieu.Le judaïsme dans la vie quotidienne (Espaces libres)

hommes étaient admis qu'une loi qui interdisait d'engager des policières. Grâce à sa ténacité et à sa témérité, elle est devenue, en 1975, en plein coeur de l'Année internationale de la femme, la première policière au Québec. Première femme dans un monde d'hommes, elle a relevé une multitude de défis, dont celui d'être promue enquêteuse et agente double à l'escouade régionale alcool et moralité. L'adrénaline, les joies, les frustrations, les indignations et les réussites, tant personnelles que professionnelles, marquent son parcours. Dotée d'un caractère fort, de beaucoup d'intuition, d'une personnalité pétillante et d'un franc-parler, elle ne s'en est jamais laissé imposer. Sa biographie est haute en couleur, riche en anecdotes étonnantes et en dialogues savoureux.Unbroken: My Fight for Survival, Hope, and Justice for Indigenous Women and Girls
Par Angela Sterritt. 2023
"A remarkable life story.... Angela Sterritt is a formidable storyteller and a passionate advocate." (Cherie Dimaline, author of The Marrow…
Thieves) "Sterritt's story is living proof of how courageous Indigenous women are." (Tanya Talaga, author of Seven Fallen Feathers and All Our Relations) In her memoir, Angela Sterritt shares her story from navigating life on the streets to becoming an award-winning journalist. As a teenager, she wrote in her notebook to survive. Now, she reports on cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada, showing how colonialism and racism create a society where Indigenous people are devalued. Unbroken is a story about courage and strength against all odds.Separated Siblings: An Evangelical Understanding of Jews and Judaism
Par John E. Phelan Jr.. 2020
In the minds of many American evangelicals today, Judaism exists in two places: the pages of the Bible and the…
modern nation of Israel. In Separated Siblings, John Phelan offers to fill in the gaps of this limited understanding with the larger story of Judaism, including its long history and key facets of Jewish thought and practice. Phelan shows that Judaism is anything but monolithic or unchanging. Readers may be surprised to learn that contemporary Judaism exists in a multiplicity of forms and continues to evolve, as recent changes in scholarly Jewish perspectives on Jesus and Paul attest. An evangelical Christian himself, Phelan addresses what other evangelicals are often most curious about, such as Jewish beliefs concerning salvation and eschatology. Nevertheless, Separated Siblings is geared toward understanding rather than Christian apologetics, aiming for an undistorted view of Judaism that is sensitive to the painful history of Christian replacement theology and other forms of anti-Semitism. Readers of this book will emerge with more informed attitudes toward their Jewish brothers and sisters—those in Israel and those across the street.Preaching Christ from the Old Testament: A Contemporary Hermeneutical Method
Par Sidney Greidanus. 1999
Arguing for the need both to preach Christ in every sermon and to preach regularly from the Old Testament, Sidney…
Greidanus develops a christocentric method that will help preachers do both simultaneously. Greidanus challenges Old Testament scholars to broaden their focus and to understand the Old Testament not only in its own historical context but also in the context of the New Testament. Suggesting specific steps and providing concrete examples, this volume provides a practical guide for preaching Christ from the Old Testament.The Gospel according to Luke (The Pillar New Testament Commentary (PNTC))
Par James R. Edwards. 2015
In keeping with the Pillar New Testament Commentary’s distinctive character, this volume by James R. Edwards on Luke gives special…
attention to the Third Gospel’s vocabulary and historical setting, its narrative purpose and unique themes, and its theological significance for the church and believers today.Though Luke is often thought to have a primarily Gentile focus, Edwards counterbalances that perspective by citing numerous evidences of Luke’s overarching interest in depicting Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s providential work in the history of Israel, and he even considers the possibility that Luke himself was a Jew. In several excursuses Edwards discusses particular topics, including Luke’s infancy narratives, the mission of Jesus as the way of salvation, and Luke’s depiction of the universal scope of the gospel.While fully conversant with all the latest scholarship, Edwards writes in a lively, fluent style that will commend this commentary to ministers, students, scholars, and many other serious Bible readers.An accessible introduction to the historical and theological developments between the Old and New Testament.Bridging the end of the Old…
Testament period and the beginning of the New Testament period, this book surveys the history and theological developments of four significant eras in Israel's post-exilic history: the Persian Era (539-331 BC), the Hellenistic Era (332-167 BC), the Hasmonean Era (167-63 BC), and the Roman Era (63-4 BC). In doing so, it does away with the notion that there were four hundred years of prophetic silence before Jesus.Bridging the Testaments outlines the political and social developments of these four periods, with particular focus on their impact upon Judeans and Samarians. Using a wide range of biblical and extra-biblical sources, George Athas reconstructs what can be known about the history of Judah and Samaria in these eras, providing the framework for understanding the history of God's covenant people, and the theological developments that occurred at the end of the Old Testament period, leading into the New Testament. In doing so, Athas shows that the notion of a supposed period of four hundred years of prophetic silence is not supported by the biblical or historical evidence. Finally, an epilogue sketches the historical and theological situation prevailing at the death of Herod in 4 BC, providing important context for the New Testament writings.In this way, the book bridges the Old and New Testaments by providing a historical and theological understanding of the five centuries leading up to the birth of Jesus, tracking a biblical theology through them, and abolishing the notion of a four-century prophetic silence.Galatians (The Story of God Bible Commentary)

of the 78 cards of the Tarot to its deepest meaning, the one closest to its spiritual core • Reveals how the Tarot offers a hands-on way to learn multiple spiritual practices and metaphysical systems, including numerology, astrology, psychology, and Kabbalistic wisdom • Details how to use the Tarot to calculate the numerological value of names, words, and dates, including birthdays, to reveal their metaphysical significance As John Sandbach illuminates in depth, the Tarot is a portal to realms of wisdom. It not only can provide deep insight through traditional readings but also offers a hands-on way to learn multiple spiritual practices and metaphysical systems, each interrelated through numbers and the ways the systems are worked with to reveal cosmic truths. In this guide, Sandbach explores the deep interconnected meanings of each of the 78 cards of the Tarot and explains how to work with the cards for spiritual healing and growth as well as to synergistically learn other methods of spiritual insight, in particular numerology and astrology. Connecting the traditional, symbolic, psychological, alchemical, astrological, and numerological meanings of each card to its deepest meaning, the one closest to its spiritual core, he shows how exploring the interconnected meanings of the cards allows you to understand the Tarot as an integrated whole and enables you to provide insightful and deeply intuitive readings. He explains how every card is connected to the Tree of Life, an ancient Kabbalistic diagram of the universe, and details how to use the Tarot to calculate the numerological value of names, words, and dates, including birthdays, to reveal their metaphysical significance. He explores the connections between alternative rulerships for the cards and how they allow you to understand astrology at a deeper level. He also demonstrates several types of card layouts that can be used to perform readings for yourself or others, and he provides instructions for Tarot Contemplations to access deeper meanings of the cards. By journeying through the nexus of wisdom connections within each card, you not only are simultaneously learning the ancient wisdom of numerology and astrology, but also opening access to your own inner wisdom.Ephesians: Our Immeasurable Blessings in Christ (MacArthur Bible Studies)
