Jesus' Love Stories

Scriptural Insights Into the Spirituality of Christian Loving

By: John F. Loya,Joseph A. Loya

John and Joseph Loya, brothers who serve the Catholic Church as a diocesan priest and a religious priest, respectively, take fifteen of Jesus' most well-known parables: The Prodigal Son, The Publican and the Pharisee, The Good Shepherd and the Lost Sheep, The Generous King and the Fearful, Lazy Steward, etc., and weave a philosophy and theology of love as told--and lived--by Jesus. The authors employ the teachings of Pope Benedict XVI's encyclical Deus Caritas Est (God is Love) as a theological touchstone for the proper understanding of Christian love, and offer additional inspirational commentaries on love drawn from the spiritual traditions of both the Christian West and the Christian East. This gentle, engaging book will assist readers in discovering the peace, joy and freedom that come with loving as God loves us. +

This text's clear and engaging narrative balances political, social, and cultural history within a clear chronological framework. The Fifth Edition features a thorough revision of the narrative, a complete redesign of the book, and an enhanced art program. The authors explore the enduring vision of the American people, a vision they describe as "a shared determination to live up to the values that give meaning to America." Each chapter has been revised to incorporate the most up-to-date scholarship, with special emphasis placed on technology and public health: "Technology and Culture" boxed features explore the development of new technologies--such as the invention of indoor plumbing and the birth control pill--and their impact on American culture. -- This edition includes up-to-date scholarship on the experiences of women, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, African Americans, and Native Americans in the United States. -- Chapter 32 presents an integrated narrative and preliminary assessment of recent events from1996 to the present. -- The text features a chapter that consolidates all late-19th century material, examining how industrialization, urbanization, and immigration transformed everyday life, sharpened racial and ethnic divisions, and made Americans more conscious of social class.

The Other World

Issues and Politics of the Developing World

By: Joseph Weatherby

Thematic chapters discuss colonialism and neocolonialism, general political economy, and women and development before regional discussions of Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, and Central Asia and the "Southern Near Abroad" (i.e. the countries of the Caucasus Mountains). Each of these regional chapters provide overviews of geography, religion, people, language, history, and government; as well as case studies of particular countries and brief discussions of "flashpoints."

A Passage to Nuristan

Exploring the Mysterious Afghan Hinterland

By: Nicholas Barrington,Reinhard Schlagintweit,Joseph T. Kendrick

A first hand account of extraordinary travel, it is a reminiscent of "Short Walk in the Hindu Kush". This book about Afghanistan is highly topical. Despite its recent upheavals, for most of the twentieth century Afghanistan was a sleepy, faraway place of little interest to outsiders. Nowhere was the romance and mystery attached to the country more dramatically expressed than in its Nuristan region (formerly Kafiristan - Land of Infidels). Here, the spectacular mountains and lush but inaccessible valleys have, for centuries, been home to one of the world's least known peoples. Isolated in their mountain villages, the Nuristanis were only converted to Islam at the end of the nineteenth century. "A Passage to Nuristan" is the story of three young westerners - a Briton, an American and a German - who in 1960 set out to penetrate a land that few westerners had set eyes on. Unable to rely on maps or information on what would confront them, they were guided step by precarious step into the unknown world previously immortalised by Kipling's "The Man Who Would be King". This is the contemporary record - now published for the first time - of an extraordinary journey. It will fascinate all who are interested in Afghanistan, Central Asia and travel. At the same time it captures the essence of a time and a place now gone forever.

Taliban 2.0

By: Dr. Joseph K Thomas

Dr. Joseph Thomas in his undiplomatic and simple yet impactful delivery style writing offers the chronology of the events unfolded in the Rise, Fall and the Rise of Taliban in Afghanistan. History tells us that, different empires and forces have tried to gain control over Afghanistan but failed. The Mughals, the British, the Soviets (Russia), and now the Americans, have all tried but failed to control Afghanistan. That is a part of history that repeats itself till today with Taliban is back in Afghanistan. The in-depth analysis of Taliban 1.0 regime, and other deadliest terrorist groups acting along with it. Emergence of Taliban 2.0, its security and economic implications for India. Afghanistan's pro-Pakistan government, and how India's key rivals Pakistan and China use the opportunity to exploit the Taliban regime and galvanise regional militants, including anti-India terror groups. The United States devoid of fundamental understanding of Afghanistan is an example of other failed missions like Vietnam, Iraq and Syria. The U.S. left Afghanistan, but in the end, India have to pick up the pieces and for peace in Afghanistan, Pakistan must be kept away. Once in a while, a book comes along and leaves an imprint on the readers, "TALIBAN 2.0" is one of those books,

A Dubya in the Headlights

President George W. Bush and the Media

By: Joseph Hayden

A Dubya in the Headlights trains a critical eye on the curious interaction between America's forty-third president and the people who write about him, talk about him, photograph him, and draw him. Joseph R. Hayden details a rough, often tense, relationship between President George W. Bush and media outlets from CBS to the New York Times to The Tonight Show. He also challenges what until recently was the conventional wisdom about Bush's public relations-the notion that the White House was a masterful manipulator of the media, a Machiavellian puppet master. According to Hayden, those types of characterizations are not just overly generous; they are distortions and a cop-out for the press. Focusing in particular on the period since Hurricane Katrina, this lively and timely volume details the pattern of mistakes made by the Bush administration in carrying out its communication strategy and offers a clear portrait of a president stumbling from one crisis to another.

Understanding the War in Afghanistan

A Guide to the Land, the People, and the Conflict

By: Joseph J. Collins

The war in Afghanistan is now the United States’ longest running war. For over a decade, the conflict raging in Central Asia has been the stage for some of the shrewdest foreign policy, fiercest wartime strategy, and most delicate diplomacy the world has ever seen. In a country smaller than Texas—and home to 30 million people—an elusive enemy, shifting tribal dynamics, and bordering countries threaten the stability not only of the region, but of the world. There can be no doubt that the war in Afghanistan, as complex as it is fascinating, will be the defining conflict for generations to come. Understanding the War in Afghanistan is an invaluable primer, a book that aims to clarify and explain the country as well as the war. With chapters on the Afghan people, their culture, the history leading up to the war, the Taliban, 9/11, and the various phases of the fighting itself, Understanding the War in Afghanistan is required reading for anyone wanting to understand one of the most important chapters in U.S. history. Included in the book are detailed physiographic, administrative, and linguistic maps of the country to supplement the author’s nuanced analysis of the region and the war.
