Book Description
In the Bible, the Lord tells us the story of Noah, "a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God." Have you ever wondered what that time may have been like? What could have caused the Lord to grieve in his heart and to destroy the world he had created? How! How can any family go through an ordeal like that? We all know the answer, that is, at least we do on the surface. It is only by walking closely with the Lord. But if you want to explore the possibilities and pry open the lives between the verses given to us in Genesis, then I invite you to read about Noah and his life. Open your heart to a man who has hopes and dreams, who has blessings and trials from the Lord. And then has to change his way of life to do the Lord's bidding. Learn more of the walk Noah had with God and how the Lord's ways, his purpose, intertwine in our lives and how we are bound to him in faith, hope, and love. Learn how the world of Noah's time was not really that much different from ours. They were selling and buying and making plans for the future. And it is a time of apostasy; men seek everything but God-except for those who seek the Lord and seek his paths. In Noah's day, there were people eating and drinking and making merry. They are giving in marriage and are about their work in the fields and in the cities. So come and read between the verses of the Word of the Lord! Learn more of the possibilities of the life of Noah, his wife, and their children. Open your soul to the Lord and seek his face by exploring the possible walk that a family had with the Lord of creation. See how the Tie-That-Binds is still very much relevant in our lives today.

Noah's Wife
Author: Lindsay Starck
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0698407857
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
In the tradition of Daniel Wallace’s Big Fish and Eowyn Ivey’s The Snow Child, a gorgeously written and fable-like novel recasting Noah’s Ark as a story of relationships, courage, resilience, and hope. “Variously romantic, symbolic, philosophical, feminist, and fanciful, this is an atmospheric tale that meanders to a sweetly rousing conclusion. . . . Forget the ark, forget the patriarch. It's the women who tend to triumph in this modern take on an Old Testament parable.” – Kirkus Reviews In loving Noah, his wife never imagined she’d end up in this gray and wet little town where it’s been raining for as long as anyone can remember. Newly appointed as pastor, Noah is determined to bring the eccentric townspeople back to the church, but the members of his congregation only want to keep their homes afloat. As the water swallows up the houses, the renowned zoo, and the single highway out of town, Noah, his wife, and their new neighbors must confront not only the savage forces of nature but also the fragile ties that bind them to one another. Poignant and whimsical, playful and wise, Noah’s Wife challenges our expectations of love, commitment, and redemption. By reimagining this classic story in a new and modern light, the novel asks: how do we know when to stay and when it’s time to go?

The Ark Before Noah

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
The recent translation of a Babylonian tablet launches a groundbreaking investigation into one of the most famous stories in the world, challenging the way we look at ancient history. Since the Victorian period, it has been understood that the story of Noah, iconic in the Book of Genesis, and a central motif in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, derives from a much older story that existed centuries before in ancient Babylon. But the relationship between the Babylonian and biblical traditions was shrouded in mystery. Then, in 2009, Irving Finkel, a curator at the British Museum and a world authority on ancient Mesopotamia, found himself playing detective when a member of the public arrived at the museum with an intriguing cuneiform tablet from a family collection. Not only did the tablet reveal a new version of the Babylonian Flood Story; the ancient poet described the size and completely unexpected shape of the ark, and gave detailed boat building specifications. Decoding this ancient message wedge by cuneiform wedge, Dr. Finkel discovered where the Babylonians believed the ark came to rest and developed a new explanation of how the old story ultimately found its way into the Bible. In The Ark Before Noah, Dr. Finkel takes us on an adventurous voyage of discovery, opening the door to an enthralling world of ancient voices and new meanings.

Community Health Narratives
Author: Emily Mendenhall

ISBN: 0826355595
Category : Community health services
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Mark struggled at school and became depressed because he was bullied. Ana Maria feared leaving her home after dark due to gun violence. Mario and his family benefited from an intervention to prevent the spread of avian flu in his village. Health problems like these affect not only individuals but also families and communities. These examples suggest how community health is realized in peoples' lives and affects people living in the same place who share similar beliefs and values. For example, feeling safe within one's community is an essential part of living a healthy life. The narratives in this book explore a wide range of topics--social ties, gender and sexuality, mental illness, violence, prevention, and health-care access--that shape community health. Featuring "Communities in Action" sketches describing good community health programming as well as a guide for teachers, this book, along with its companions Global Health Narratives: A Reader for Youth and Environmental Health Narratives: A Reader for Youth (UNM Press), provides a comprehensive curriculum that examines people's health experiences across cultures and nations.

Pages : 337
Book Description
"A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren." So reads Noah's curse on his son Ham, and all his descendants, in Genesis 9:25. Over centuries of interpretation, Ham came to be identified as the ancestor of black Africans, and Noah's curse to be seen as biblical justification for American slavery and segregation. Examining the history of the American interpretation of Noah's curse, this book begins with an overview of the prior history of the reception of this scripture and then turns to the distinctive and creative ways in which the curse was appropriated by American pro-slavery and pro-segregation interpreters.
