Nomad

A Year In the Life of a Qashqa'i Tribesman in Iran

By: Lois Beck

During 1970 to 1971, Borzu and his people were faced with many difficulties. When the expected winter rains did not fall, pastures and crops shriveled. Unable to sell their starving livestock for any profit, Borzu's people saw their debts to urban merchants and moneylenders increase. At the same time, Iran exercised more bureaucratic control over the Qashqa'i by applying new policies over migratory schedules and the allocation of scarce pastures, and by introducing non-Qashqa'i agriculturalists and livestock investors as legitimate land users. All these measures threatened the nomad's way of life and eventually undermined the role of headmen such as Borzu. Lois Beck details the vicissitudes endured by Borzu's people and the strategies he devised to cope with them.

James of Jerusalem

A biblical novel

By: Lois Caldwell

James of Jerusalem imagines answers, not recorded in the Bible, to questions about a pivotal figure in the first century church. What kind of person was James? Did he have a family? How was he like or different from his elder brother, Jesus? How and where did he die? The book gives a clear picture of the character of James. Based on his epistle and biblically recorded events in his life, it portrays the man who modeled how he urged others to live, in his letter to those who called themselves “Followers of the Way.” The reader will be caught up in what could have been James’s private life and will gain understanding of the Jerusalem church and its leader in its early years. This novel is truly a journey which encompasses faithfulness, understanding the human heart, intrigue, romantic love, sorrow, surprises, and – most of all, absolute trust in the Savior and love for fellow human beings.

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Nomads in Postrevolutionary Iran

The Qashqa'i in an Era of Change

By: Lois Beck

Examining the rapid transition in Iran from a modernizing, westernizing, secularizing monarchy (1941-79) to a hard-line, conservative, clergy-run Islamic republic (1979-), this book focuses on the ways this process has impacted the Qashqa’i—a rural, nomadic, tribally organized, Turkish-speaking, ethnic minority of a million and a half people who are dispersed across the southern Zagros Mountains. Analysing the relationship between the tribal polity and each of the two regimes, the book goes on to explain the resilience of the people’s tribal organizations, kinship networks, and politicized ethnolinguistic identities to demonstrate how these structures and ideologies offered the Qashqa’i a way to confront the pressures emanating from the two central governments. Existing scholarly works on politics in Iran rarely consider Iranian society outside the capital of Tehran and beyond the reach of the details of national politics. Local-level studies on Iran—accounts of the ways people actually lived—are now rare, especially after the revolution. Based on long-term anthropological research, Nomads in Postrevolutionary Iran provides a unique insight into how national-level issues relate to the local level and will be of interest to scholars and researchers in Anthropolgy, Iranian Studies and Middle Eastern Studies.

Building the House Church

By: Lois Barrett

From the original preface: This book grows out of the need to present a model of being the church which emphasizes covenant, commitment, and personal involvement with a small number of people. I have tried to offer the house church not just as an acceptable model of the church, but indeed as a good way of being the church, where Christians can emphasize the essentials of being the church—covenanting, worshiping, teaching, sharing, discipling, deciding, using spiritual gifts, serving, and growing.

The Ache of Sorrow is very deep, but the Presence of God is very real. What do you do when your world turns upside down and inside out? How do you respond when you lose someone or something that is precious to you? The loss of any person, position, or thing that we value triggers grief. This book is not just for those who are grieving because of the death of a loved one. It is also for those suffering loss from a broken marriage, rebellious children, betrayal, financial downfall, unemployment, chronic illness, or any other kind of situation that shatters one’s hopes and dreams. What if you are so distraught that you cannot even pray? You breathe. Breathe a single word to the One who promises to hear every word. Breathe in God’s presence. Breathe out your fears and anxieties. Say a breath prayer. Then be still and know that God is God, and let His Spirit renew your spirit. Be Still and Know is a book of breath prayers written by Lois Hoogeveen during her first year of life after her husband’s death. This book contains fifty-two breath prayers, giving you the option to focus on one word each week for one year. Space is provided at the end of each chapter for you to write a personal breath prayer. The comfort, strength, and solace of these prayers provide hope for anyone who struggles with any kind of loss.

Issa

The Greatest Story Never Told

By: Lois Drake

“Lois Drake’s gift for storytelling takes us on a journey for the discovery of timeless spiritual truths. Readers will love Issa!” —Paul Davids, writer and director of the film Jesus in India The Bible explicitly records the life of Jesus with one exception—his life between the ages of 13 and 30. Yet ancient Buddhist scripture records the life of Saint Issa, which astoundingly parallels the life of Jesus of Nazareth. Weaving together a dramatic tapestry of people, places and events, this novel envisions Jesus’s life during the missing years, his journey through Asia, the power within that he had to master, and the tests of the heart he had to pass before he could change the world.

Prophesying to Awaken the Spirit to Purpose

By: Mildred Lucille Fraser,Lois Carolyn Dogans

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. (Matthew 9:36) Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding. (Jeremiah 3:15) You can be included in the great outpouring of God's Spirit. God's prophesies over man can manifest in your life. Awaken to God's Spirit, seek His promises, and receive them. The two olive trees mentioned in Revelation 11:3 represent the Holy Spirit's endless supply of anointing meant to keep the witnesses empowered as light for the world to hear the Lord's message. The two olive trees on each side of the lampstand featured in Zechariah were a representation of God's might and power, arming His people to complete His work of rebuilding the temple.

Meigs County Ohio and Her Soldiers in the Civil War

By: Lois Helmers

My love of Meigs County began as a young child; I visited many summers with relatives, traversing hollers and river trails. Little did I realize the influence this time would have on my life. When I learned that several of my ancestors had been in the Civil War, I began researching their military history and that of many others from Meigs County. I found research difficult because little had been written in books. What was written was not in any concise order, perhaps only a paragraph or two per book. I hope the information you find here to be a much better represenation of the county and men who served during the Civil War, and will help amateur genealogists like myself to know more about their ancestors; where they fought, if they died, where, and the burial location. There are in-depth details about several battles including Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia and Corinth and Iuka, Mississippi. There are descriptions of over 9,000 men and boys, many who enlisted in Meigs County, Ohio.

Elderlearning

New Frontier in an Aging Society

By: Lois S. Lamdin,Mary Fugate

Faced with the possibility of a significantly extended lifespan, many Americans can expect to enjoy continued growth and development well past the traditional age of retirement. Elderlearning examines the important role of learning in maintaining the health, quality of life, and longevity of older adults, and in providing opportunities for them to take on new roles in society. This book includes the results of the first comprehensive survey on the topic of adult learning in men and women over the age of 55. The authors provide key data on the sources, topics, and extent of the current learning activities of older adults, as well as on their preferred learning modes. Adult learning is viewed from the perspective of providers of learning services, as well as from the viewpoint of individual learners. This information is based on extensive interviews with elderlearners and with learning services providers across the country. The authors also discuss the policy implications of the elderlearning phenomenon at the federal, state, and institutional levels. They conclude the book with a recommended eight-point agenda for improving service to this rapidly growing segment of the population. Elderlearning will be a valuable aid to anyone involved in developing - or teaching - programs designed to meet the needs of older adults, as well as to elderlearners themselves.

Lady Rachel Russell

"One of the Best of Women"

By: Lois G. Schwoerer

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Lady Rachel Russell

"One of the Best of Women"

By: Lois G. Schwoerer

Originally published in 1987. Lady Rachel Russell (1637–1723) was regarded as "one of the best women" by many of the most powerful people of her time. Wife of Lord William Russell, the prominent Whig opponent of King Charles II who was executed for treason in 1683, Lady Russell emerged as a political figure in her own right during the Glorious Revolution and throughout her forty-year widowhood. Award-winning historian Lois G. Schwoerer has written a biography that illuminates both the political life and the lives of women in late Stuart England. Lady Russell's interest in politics and religion blossomed during her marriage to Lord Russell and after his death: "as William became a Whig martyr, Rachel became a Whig saint." Her wealth, contacts, and role as her husband's surrogate gave her considerable influence to intercede in high government appointments, lend support in elections, and exchange favors with her friend Mary of Orange. In her domestic life she similarly took steps usually reserved to men, managing large estates in London and Hampshire and negotiating favorable marriage contracts for each of her three children. Although Lady Russell was unusual for her time, she was by no means unique. Other notable women shared her concerns and traits, although to differing degrees and effects. Schwoerer suggests that the horizons of women's lives in the seventeenth century may have extended farther than is often supposed.

Lieder Line by Line, and Word for Word

By: Lois Phillips

German song in the nineteenth century offers some of the greatest pleasures available to the singer, pianist, and listener. The great German poets - Goethe, Schiller, Ruckert, Eichendorff, Heine, Morike, Hesse, and many lesser figures - inspired such perennial masterpieces as Schubert's song cycles Die Schone Mullerin and Winterreise, Schumann's Dichterliebe, and Mahler's Kindertotenlieder. This book provides the German texts of the most frequently studied and performed songs, and gives literal, word-for-word translations under each line, plus clear English prose versions of each poem. The composers represented are Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Wagner, Brahms, Wolf, Mahler, and Richard Strauss. This new edition includes numerous corrections and improvements to the translations.
