Описание: When the federal government uprooted and interned Japanese Canadians en masse in 1942, Kishizo Kimura saw his life upended along with tens of thousands of others. But his story is also unique: as a member of two controversial committees that oversaw the forced sale of the property of Japanese Canadians in Vancouver during the Second World War, Kimura participated in the dispossession of his own community. In Witness to Loss Kimura`s previously unknown memoir - written in the last years of his life - is translated from Japanese to English and published for the first time. This remarkable document chronicles a history of racism in British Columbia, describes the activities of the committees on which Kimura served, and seeks to defend his actions. Diverse reflections of leading historians, sociologists, and a community activist and educator who lived through this history give context to the memoir, inviting readers to grapple with a rich and contentious past. More complex than just hero or villain, oppressor or victim, Kimura raises important questions about the meaning of resistance and collaboration and the constraints faced by an entire generation. Illuminating the difficult, even impossible, circumstances that confronted the victims of racist state action in the mid-twentieth century, Witness to Loss reminds us that the challenge of understanding is greater than that of judgment.

Описание: Stories collected from a dozen women from across the country, Strange Times will open your eyes to a stripper's lives on the other side of the stage. For each thrill, there is shock. For each victory, there is shame. The unmatched adrenaline rush of thrilling a hundred strangers while dancing on stage has only been felt by those brave enough to risk their everything. I've opened my eyes, my mind and my legs. And we are proud. When my knees ache, when my back cracks, when my hips pop and when my lips stretch to reveal a secretive smile, these stories are only a few that exist among the thousands of women who would dare to tell the world what we are. We are women, we are heroes, we are "whores". We are strippers.

Water does not lie. Here in the Champlain Basin--a flowing landscape of mountains and rivers, forests and farms, towns and cities--it is the water that whispers difficult truths. From erosion, pollution, and habitat loss, to the toxic algae blooms that close Champlain's beaches every summer, this once vital ecosystem is coming undone. And while there is no shortage of proposed technical and legislative solutions, it is clear that we also need distinct cultural responses to the problem--ways to see, hear, feel, and understand what the water is telling us. That is where this book comes in. Featuring the fine art photography of M.E. Sipe, the curating vision of Trevien Stanger, and over a dozen essays written by thinkers, academics, poets, farmers, and activists who call this region home, Our Basin of Relations presents new ways of thinking and old ways to remember, helping us chart a more honest path forward toward preservation and renewal. With open hearts, wild minds, and attentive bodies, these essayists deepen our insights and advance our sense of the possible for all of the beings, and for all of our relations, that constitute our home: this beautiful place, the Champlain Basin.

Imagine being awakened to the person of Jesus in your adult years but having very little experience with the Bible. For one who desires to learn of the richness of the Bible, beginning the task of embracing the immensity of this Holy Book can feel overwhelming. Yet when the lessons of the Bible are broken down into individual encounters with God, the task of understanding God's message to humankind becomes less intimidating.
The Perfect Sacrifice is an adult Bible devotional that focuses on men and women whose lives reflect the same struggles we face today. These snapshots of Biblical characters and situations serve as reminders of how Jesus fulfilled the needs and hopes of people in the past and how, in turn, Jesus leads us on our journey with Him today. This book highlights the trail of love Jesus leads throughout the Bible and draws the reader closer to the embodiment of love-Jesus.
This manuscript is unique in assisting the reader to consider how Jesus was alive and involved in the characters' lives from the first page of the Bible. Jesus, in this writing, is seen as continually acting out God's love and as the fulfillment of the longings of Bible characters. The great men and women of the Bible were often unknowingly walking toward the cross. Although they were looking for a deliverer to assist them with their personal circumstances, God was more concerned with their eternal destiny. This book helps the reader commune with their Maker and Eternal Deliverer. The Perfect Sacrifice strives to introduce others to the Great Shepard and the Lamb of God who was healing, caring, and leading His people even as they were unaware of His presence. Jesus-present at the beginning of time and present throughout time.

A WORKMAN THAT NEEDETH NOT TO BE ASHAMED
These chapters comprise the Freitas Lectures given by the author at Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, Kentucky, during the fall of 1956. Building upon the exhortation of the Apostle Paul to Timothy, his "son" in the Christian ministry-"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed" (II Timothy 2:15)-the author speaks out of his own experience as a pastor to those who are ministers or who are preparing themselves for the Christian ministry.
It is the author's conviction that in an age when society, in general, with its galaxy of problems and its multiplicity of needs demands skillful leaders and skilled workers, even more does the Christian Society require at its head and at its heart "workmen that need not to be ashamed." An irreverent, self-seeking society has caused the church to answer for enough indictments; let not the church itself add to this list by failing to provide for itself capable and consecrated "workmen." The contemporary age demands the church at its best. If the church is to be at its best, then those who lead and serve it must be "workmen who need not to be ashamed."
The aim of the book is utterly pragmatic. The author endeavors to point out some of the practical methods by which a minister may be "a workman that needeth not to be ashamed." After an opening chapter on "The Distinctiveness of the Minister's Task," the author proceeds to discuss such practical matters as the minister's care of the church, the continuing preparations of the minister, the minister's spiritual leadership of his people, the minister and Healing, and the minister in his relationship to the world. ---
