Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Suddenly we heard the sound of an engine, or engines, in the sky. We looked up and saw a small aircraft. I still recollect the look on his face when he heard, and then saw the plane. I immediately pointed to the plane, and addressing him by name said: 'Tullie! That is my death. Save yourself !' He hesitated, and I reached to push him out of the van. He moved before my hand reached him. At this time,I looked up to the plane and said, 'God, if you ready for me, I ready for you. I'm not scared.' Elijah's Ministry: The Arrival of Elijah 1 Before we get ahead of ourselves, as the saying goes, let me introduce myself in what I now consider to be my 'IDENTIFICATION CARD'. I was informed by my Dad that I was born in a medical facility in the Ivy; in the parish of St. Michael; on the island of Barbados, the most easterly of the Caribbean islands. I was given the name Jeffrey Anthony Agard. My mother, I was told, had a preference for the name Jerry. She was concerned however, that the only person whom she knew with that name, was comedian Jerry Lewis. She understood the importance of people taking me seriously even from the time of my birth it would seem,so I was given the name Jeffrey officially on my birth certificate, but called Jerry. I spent the first seven years of my life in the Sargeant's Village and Clapham areas, and have memories of being in both districts. I attended Vauxhall Primary School in Vauxhall Christ Church until I was seven years old. I was awarded a prize for good academic work on one occasion while there.To the best of my recollection I received a hymn book.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The author wrote this book to give us 'some sort of an insight into the mindset that war tends to put you into. It's an interesting place, and I really wanted y'all to get an understanding, or at least familiarization with it.' He succeeds admirably! All the footage we've seen, the movies, the shows, none of them prepare us for the reality of day-to-day life of an infantryman fighting for us in Afghanistan. He went as an idealist, fighting for his country and his dream of freedom. He begged to stay at the end of his deployment. And though he came home with no physical scars, he is forever changed, his health compromised, but his dream intact. His story is compelling, and leaves one grateful beyond measure for the sacrifices made for us on a daily basis by all of the people in our armed forces.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - While the ideal method of interpreting the Bible stirs great debate among theologians, seminarians, and intellectuals, average people living in a multicultural world are typically not very concerned with these debates; they just want to know how to understand the Bible. Led by the belief that God desires to communicate with each group in a culturally relevant and understandable way, author Philip McCarty offers a unique perspective as he examines the Bible as a cross-cultural text designed to speak to all people. McCarty, who earned degrees in Bible, religious education in pastoral studies, and Christian thought, begins with an in-depth analysis of the Bible and the role that translations play in communicating to multiple cultures. As he moves into a careful examination of the basics of hermeneutics and the ways in which God communicates with humans, McCarty encourages students of Scripture to ask the right questions and obtain the right answers. Finally, McCarty discusses why the Bible continues to be a pillar of the church community's culture and how its scripture connects to each individual. And God Said, 'Let's Babel' offers valuable insight into why the Bible is a cross-cultural document, how that affects the church as a whole, and what all this knowledge means to spiritual seekers around the world. …

Buch. Etat : Neu.

The women, workers at the Daewoosa garment factory, were trying to get the company to pay them their promised wages. She decided to take the case, howevernot knowing that it would take years to resolve.Sweatshops in Paradise tells the first-person account of the notorious garment factory/sweatshop class-action lawsuit Nga v. Daewoosa, which took place in the territory of American Samoa from 1999 until 2001. This precedent-setting case drew international attention to the issues surrounding involuntary servitude and trafficking in human beings in far-flung US territories.Written by Sudbury, who acted as the lead plaintiff attorney, Sweatshops in Paradise narrates the story of some three hundred Vietnamese and Chinese workers who were brought to American Samoa to work in the Daewoosa garment factory.
