Let My Nation Go
by Yosef DeutschWhen it comes to the most dramatic event in history to epitomize a nation's transition from slavery to freedom, no story captures the world s imagination more than the Jewish nation's exodus from Egypt. And to tell that amazing story, there is no book that captures it all the ancient setting, the vast scope, the grand themes, the memorable personalities along with the details of those events better than Let My Nation Go. The author draws upon a wealth of traditional sources along with a rich array of classic commentaries, and then weaves it all together to create a seamless narrative that reads like an exciting novel. This is history on a grand scale; the stirring story of the birth of the Jewish nation: from the roots of their arrival in Egypt, through centuries of suffering, through the ten plagues, leading up to that epic moment known as the Exodus. Written with compelling insight, historical precision, and narrative flair, Let My Nation Go brings the birth of the Jewish nation vividly to life. It will forever change the way you view this momentous chapter in the unfolding history of the world.

Let My People Go: A True Account of Present-Day Terrorism in Sudan
by Cal BombayIn the war-ravaged African nation of Sudan, slavery is a way of life. Islamic fundamentalists in the north capture women and children-many of them Christian-in the south and sell them to other northern Muslim as servants and concubines. There they live on table scraps and are forced to convert to Islam. Their stories are devastating, yet their capacity for hope is an inspiration to the world. Let My People Go is the gripping, heartrending, sometimes infuriating first person account of a 1997 mission to return Sudanese slaves to their southern homeland, buy them, and set them free in the name of the Lord. It is a story you will never forget.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Let My People Go
by Patricia C. Mckissack Fredrick L. Mckissack Jr. James E. Ransome"Come join me as I take you back to Charleston, South Carolina, to my father's forge in the early 1800's. Sit with me on the woodpile as he tells a tale of faith, hope, or love." In this extraordinary collection, Charlotte Jefferies and her father Price, a former slave, introduce us to twelve best loved Bible tales, from Genesis to Daniel, and reveal their significance in the lives of African Americans--and indeed of all oppressed peoples. When Charlotte wants to understand the cruel injustices of her time, she turns to her father. Does the powerful slaveholder, Mr. Sam Riley, who seems to own all that surrounds them, also own the sun and moon? she wonders. Price's answer is to tell the story of Creation. How can God allow an evil like slavery to exist? she asks. Price responds by telling the story of the Hebrews' Exodus -- and shows Charlotte that someday their people, too, will be free. With exquisite clarity, Patricia and Fredrick McKissack and James Ransome -- a Newbery Honor winner and all Coretta Scott King Award winners -- brilliantly illuminate the parallels between the stories of the Jews and African-American history. Let My People Go is a triumphant celebration of both the human spirit and the enduring power of story as a source of strength. Our hope is that this book will be like a lighthouse that can guide young readers through good times and bad....The ideas that these ancient stories hold are not for one people, at one time, in one place. They are for all of us, for all times, everywhere. --from the Authors' Note to Let My People Go
Let My People Go: The Transnational Politics of Soviet Jewish Emigration During the Cold War (Jewish Studies)
by Pauline PeretzAmerican Jews' mobilization on behalf of Soviet Jews is typically portrayed as compensation for the community's inability to assist European Jews during World War II. Yet, as Pauline Peretz shows, the role Israel played in setting the agenda for a segment of the American Jewish community was central. Her careful examination of relations between the Jewish state and the Jewish diaspora offers insight into Israel's influence over the American Jewish community and how this influence can be conceptualized.To explain how Jewish emigration moved from a solely Jewish issue to a humanitarian question that required the intervention of the US government during the Cold War, Peretz traces the activities of Israel in securing the immigration of Soviet Jews and promoting awareness in Western countries.Peretz uses mobilization studies to explain a succession of objectives on the part of Israel and the stages in which it mobilized American Jews. Peretz attempts to reintroduce Israel as the missing, yet absolutely decisive actor in the history of the American movement to help Soviet Jews emigrate in difficult circumstances.

Let the Bird Fly: Life in a World Given Back to Us
by Wade JohnstonIt's easy for Christians in our day to become fearful and confused. From doctrinal debates to culture wars, some Christians feel like they move from one crisis to another. Christ didn't die and rise for us to live afraid, however, and our crucified and risen Savior ascended to rule all things for our good. We are not a people without hope. We have Christ. Let the Bird Fly reminds readers that we are a free people, bought with the price of Christ's own blood. We are free to weigh the issues of the day, to engage our neighbor, to live out our callings, and know who we are no matter what: redeemed children of God. At the heart of the Christian life is a spoken word, God's absolution, the declaration that Christ's righteousness is our own through faith. From this our Christian life flows and in this we find our confidence to live, love, and labor for our neighbor. Law and gospel become lenses through which we see our world and others. Together with the two kinds of righteousness, civil and divine, Christians have a sort of diagnostic tool for navigating life in a world given back to us as a penultimate gift. We are graced to live beyond ourselves and the here and now. We are gifted to consider and look forward to more than those live without the optimism and freedom of sins forgiven. We are turned outside of ourselves and grounded, even as we are made new and set loose to dare to live as though there is more to life than this life. In short, precisely when fear seems most tempting, Christ calls us to let the bird fly.
Let the Church be the Church: Facing the Lack of Moral Leadership Accountability in Christianity
by Bobby E. MillsAn impassioned call for Christian churches to return to the values of service, love, and grace—and reject the twenty-first century gospel of material prosperity. The lack of accountability in Christian churches has rendered them powerless to meet the spiritual needs of humanity. America needs a renaissance of the human spirit, and the church must serve society by spreading God’s love through the gospel. The twenty-first century gospel of material prosperity over spiritual prosperity, as proclaimed by some pastoral leaders, has no place in the Christian doctrine. This materialistic perspective has shaken the foundation of the church. Today’s worship is full of pomp, circumstance, and emotionalism, but not a lot of the love, grace, and service that was exemplified by the life and teachings of Jesus. This book urges Christians to remember who started the church and what its most important values truly are. The greatest line item in a church’s budget should be benevolence, not lavish pastoral lifestyles.
Let the Church Say Amen
by Reshonda Tate BillingsleyReverend Simon Jackson has always felt destined to lead, and he's done a good job of it -- having transformed his small Houston church into one of the most respected and renowned in the region. But while the good Reverend's been busy tending his flock, his family's gone astray. His nineteen-year-old daughter, Rachel, gives new meaning to "baby mama drama." David, the oldest at twenty-seven, has been spiraling into a life of crime ever since his promising football career came to an end. Blessedly, Jonathan, Simon's beloved middle child, is in control of his life and is poised to take his side as associate pastor -- or so everybody thinks. At the heart of the Jackson family is Loretta, the Reverend's wife. She has always been devoted to her husband, but she's beginning to realize that enabling him to give more to the church than to their children was her biggest mistake. As things continue to fall apart and secrets are revealed, will Loretta be able to help her husband reunite their tattered family...before it's too late?
