Paperback. Condizione: Good. An expert in the law once asked Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life--and his question initiated a very interesting conversation. The Law says to love your neighbor as yourself, Jesus pointed out, so the next logical question is, Who is my neighbor? Rather than offering an exhaustive list of neighbors and non-neighbors, Jesus told a story . . . the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Out of that famous parable, Dr. Wayne Gordon draws more than forty characteristics of the man who was beaten, robbed, and left for dead on the road to Jericho--the character Jesus created to show Christians how to recognize their neighbors. Dr. Gordon brings that character vividly to life in Who Is My Neighbor?, and helps readers use Jesus' parable as a reference point for their interactions in their community and the world. And as readers catch Jesus' vision of neighborliness, they will also find practical suggestions for meeting needs and changing the lives of those around them . . . that is, their neighbors.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. This book was inspired by an event that took place one afternoon in 2017. This event changed the course of the lives of over 200 people in our community who were on a waiting list for housing and critical services. This list was erased, impersonally one day, by a directive. All of these people and many of their family members lost their plans and hopes for a better life, with no alternative offered. These were people who were homeless and fighting for a chance to get out of that state, permanently. Erasing that list heartlessly took away their dream. The bigger story is that thousands of people in this country are losing their chance to leave homelessness behind; losing their chance to become respected, contributing members of their community and to change the narrative for future generations. The homeless are the most underserved, undervalued citizens in this country. They are left out of all conversations regarding equal opportunity, the conversations that determine their future. As humans, they have value and potential in our communities, but their prospect for opportunity and contribution is stuck at the bottom of any measurable scale. As bad as it was already, over the last decade, due to policy changes at the federal level, the prospects of the homeless are sinking to an unprecedented low. Hope Disappearing explores the chain of events that has put this country and its homeless population in an untenable position. Drawing from the author's experience operating local homeless programs, this book details the growing social and financial burdens of sustained homelessness, both to individuals and society. Finally, this book explores ideas on how we can begin to approach these issues with resources that will once again create opportunities for all people and ultimately benefit our communities.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Love over Religion>is a brave and heartfelt reply to the question, Why did you leave Christianity? After years as an active churchgoer, Danica Allen made the difficult choice to leave the faith. No single moment led to her decision. Instead, she found herself gradually realizing that her personal beliefs and morality were at odds with Christianity's foundation. Beginning with her discomfort with a God who actively encourages acts of abuse, slavery, and discrimination, Allen tackles Christianity's most significant sociopolitical issues and negative attitudes toward other faiths and the marginalized. She does so not with anger or intellectual pontification, but with gentleness, humor, and compassion. A must-read for all those struggling to explain why they cannot accept Christianity, Love over Religion also invites Christians to examine the often-contradictory teachings of the church. Allen does not condemn the followers of any faith. Instead, she offers a chance to bridge the divide between atheists and Christians. Love over Religion provides food for a civil conversation on the relative merits of faith and nonbelief. Are you ready for that discussion.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A deeply moving memoir from one of the last children to be taken in by the Foundling Hospital, London.When she fell pregnant in London in 1938, Jean knew that she couldn't keep her baby. The unmarried daughter of an elder in the Church of Scotland, she would shame her family if she returned to the north in such a condition. Scared and alone in a city on the brink of war, she begged the Foundling Hospital to give her baby the start in life that she could not.The institution, which had been providing care for deserted infants since the eighteenth century, allowed Jean to nurse her son for nine weeks, leaving her heartbroken when the time came to let him go.But little Tom knew nothing of her love as he grew up in the Foundling Hospital - which, during years of the Second World War, was more like a prison than a children's home.

It stands as a testament to the love that ultimately led a family back together.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. From the author of The Good Neighbor and The Glass Wives comes an enchanting story of returning home and discovering what truly matters after loss. No one knows why Teddi Lerner left her hometown, but everyone knows why she's back. Twelve-year-old Shayna-- talented, persistent, and adorable--persuaded "Aunt Tee" to return to Chance, Ohio, to photograph her father's wedding. Even though it's been six years since Shay's mother, Celia, died, Teddi can hardly bear the thought of her best friend's husband marrying someone else. But Teddi's bond with Shay is stronger than the hurt. Teddi knows it's time to face the consequences of her hasty retreat from family, friends, and, her old flame, but when she looks through her viewfinder, nothing in her small town looks the same. That's when she truly sees the hurt she's caused and--maybe--how to fix it. After the man she once loved accuses Teddi of forgetting Celia, Teddi finally admits why she ran away, and the guilt she's carried with her. As Teddi relinquishes the distance that kept her safe, she'll discover surprising truths about the people she left behind, and herself. And she'll finally see what she overlooked all along in Left to Chance by Amy Sue Nathan. …

Where did she go and how did it work out for her?The reason for Lydia's shocking decision was lost to history for over 100 years-until I stumbled across her yellowed and tattered journals in my great-uncle's trunk.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. A GUARDIAN, NEW STATESMAN AND SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A whodunnit political page-turner' Melissa Benn, New Statesman 'The best political book I have read for a long while' Rod Liddle, The Spectator From the No.1 bestselling author of The Establishment, an urgent analysis of where the Left - and Britain - goes nextWe live in an age of upheaval. The global crisis of Covid-19 has laid bare the deep social and economic inequalities which were the toxic legacy of austerity. These revolutionary times are an opportunity for a radical rethink of Britain as we know it, as the politically impossible suddenly becomes imaginable.And yet, the Left's last attempt to upend the established order and transform millions of lives came to a crashing halt on 12th December 2019, when Jeremy Corbyn led the Labour party to its worst electoral defeat since 1935. In This Land, Owen Jones provides an insider's honest and unflinching appraisal of a movement: how it promised to change everything, why it went so badly wrong, where this failure leaves its values and ideas, and where the Left goes next in the new world we find ourselves in.He takes us on a compelling, page-turning journey through a tumultuous decade in British politics, gaining unprecedented access to key figures across the political spectrum. It is a tale of high hopes and hubris, dysfunction and disillusionment. There is, Jones urges, no future for any progressive project that does not face up to and learn from its errors. We have the opportunity to build a fairer country and a more equal world, but if our time is to come, then we must learn from our past.'An absorbing, nuanced account of the making of electoral disaster' Gaby Hinsliff, Guardian.…
