Book Description
Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith

Searching for Zion
Author: Emily Raboteau
Publisher: Open Road + Grove/Atlantic
ISBN: 080219379X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
From Jerusalem to Ghana to Katrina-ravaged New Orleans, a woman reclaims her history in a “beautifully written and thought-provoking” memoir (Dave Eggers, author of A Hologram for the King and Zeitoun). A biracial woman from a country still divided along racial lines, Emily Raboteau never felt at home in America. As the daughter of an African American religious historian, she understood the Promised Land as the spiritual realm black people yearned for. But while visiting Israel, the Jewish Zion, she was surprised to discover black Jews. More surprising was the story of how they got there. Inspired by their exodus, her question for them is the same one she keeps asking herself: have you found the home you’re looking for? In this American Book Award–winning inquiry into contemporary and historical ethnic displacement, Raboteau embarked on a ten-year journey around the globe and back in time to explore the complex and contradictory perspectives of black Zionists. She talked to Rastafarians and African Hebrew Israelites, Evangelicals and Ethiopian Jews—all in search of territory that is hard to define and harder to inhabit. Uniting memoir with cultural investigation, Raboteau overturns our ideas of place, patriotism, dispossession, citizenship, and country in “an exceptionally beautiful . . . book about a search for the kind of home for which there is no straight route, the kind of home in which the journey itself is as revelatory as the destination” (Edwidge Danticat, author of The Farming of Bones).

Are You at Ease in Zion?
Author: Pastor Mary I. Ehichioya
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 9781498426800
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
Pastor Mary I. Ehichioya knows from personal experience with the forces of darkness, how terrible it is to be outside Christ. She therefore feels with acute vividness the real situation of the lost. She has also come to know the depth of the saving grace of Christ Jesus and understands that it is the only solution to the problem of mankind. She merely seeks to remind all of us that MANY who are where she used to be, outside Christ, may end up in hell and eventually in the Lake of Fire, if we are not doing our part. She has a clear message, rendered in a clear straightforward language and only the rebellious will not lay it to heart. The Yorubas in Nigeria have an adage that would have been funny were it not for its grave meaning, The dog that's destined to get lost, will not hear the hunter's whistle. I pray that the Holy Ghost will find the following words useful in affecting and changing the hearts of believers and unbelievers alike, everywhere its tiny pages step. Amen in Jesus' Name!
