Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND ECONOMIST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR “A deeply reported, deeply personal history of Zionism and Israel that does something few books even attempt: It balances the strength and weakness, the idealism and the brutality, the hope and the horror, that has always been at Zionism’s heart.”—Ezra Klein, The New York Times Winner of the Natan Book Award, the National Jewish Book Award, and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award Ari Shavit’s riveting work, now updated with new material, draws on historical documents, interviews, and private diaries and letters, as well as his own family’s story, to create a narrative larger than the sum of its parts: both personal and of profound historical dimension. As he examines the complexities and contradictions of the Israeli condition, Shavit asks difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? Can it survive? Culminating with an analysis of the issues and threats that Israel is facing, My Promised Land uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the present. Shavit’s analysis of Israeli history provides a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a crucial role in today’s global political landscape.

Book Description
“A funny yet surprisingly nuanced look at the legends and ideas of the self-help industry” (People, 3.5 stars), Promise Land explores the American devotion to self-improvement—even as the author attempts some deeply personal improvements of her own. Raised by a child psychologist who was himself the author of numerous self-help books, as an adult Jessica Lamb-Shapiro found herself both repelled and fascinated by the industry: did all of these books, tapes, weekend seminars, groups, posters, t-shirts, and trinkets really help anybody? Why do some people swear by the power of positive thinking, while others dismiss it as so many empty promises? Promise Land is an irreverent tour through the vast and strange reaches of the world of self-help. In the name of research, Jessica attempted to cure herself of phobias, followed The Rules to meet and date men, walked on hot coals, and even attended a self-help seminar for writers of self-help books. But the more she delved into the history and practice of self-help, the more she realized her interest was much more than academic. Forced into a confrontation with the silent grief that had haunted both her and her father since her mother’s death when she was a baby, she realized that sometimes thinking you know everything about a subject is a way of hiding from yourself the fact that you know nothing at all. “A jaunty, cannily written memoir” (Chicago Tribune), Promise Land is cultural history from “a witty and enjoyably self-aware writer…Jessica Lamb-Shapiro’s talent as a storyteller is undeniable” (The New York Times Book Review).

Book Description
In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Oren Martin demonstrates how, within the redemptive-historical framework of God's unfolding plan, the land promise to Israel advances the place of the kingdom that was lost in Eden, anticipating the even greater land, prepared for all of God's people, that will result from the person and work of Christ.

Book Description
Israel's Promise land was the Land of Canaan. God promised them a Land Flowing with Milk and Honey. It was a land of more than enough and everything in it was giant, the walls, fruit, and people. Moreover the people were strong and healthy. Imagine what the spies thought, in their natural mind it was impossible to take the land. So it is with our Promise Land, the promises God made to us seem impossible as well. This is the seat of God, for if it were not impossible, God would not be needed. Our God is the God of the impossible. It might help to understand that Gods Promises (Words) took on a robe of flesh (Jesus the Christ). The bible says that God's Word cannot return unto Him void but it had to accomplish what He sent it to do. So Jesus had to take up sin which is the wall that stops us from being fruitful. Jesus declared it is finished. This little book gives us insight and revelation on how to take hold of our Promise Land.

Book Description
The scriptures are filled with God's promise and promises on a land or a space. Either we view it from the garden of Eden-a sacred place where man was found in Adam and Eve (where they eventually exiled) or God's call on Abraham to go to a land and very fundamentally the nation of Israel who were led out of Egypt to a land. This we have put together, starting from the earlier volume of this book also titled 'The Promised Land'. In this particular volume, we have chosen to expand the narratives and bring in much more comprehensive details and data on the subject of the promised land. Is there a promised land still for the believer today? Has the promised land been fulfilled once and for all since the day we were baptised into the body of Christ? Is there something to look forward to as believers in Christ? Many have been found in the conundrum of what God is giving us in an afterlife or what is his eventual plan for the earth? Many theories have emerged on what God wants to do. What we have done in this book is to open up a wider mode of thinking-thinking through the scriptures bringing them together, working with them in a proper synchronisation and symphony to see how the overall plan of God which he communicated in Abraham and other patriarchs, fulfilled through Jesus and now being fulfilled in the church brings to the fore a clarity of the concept of the promised land. This book will allow you to think, read, breathe, think again, and find within the texts of scriptures what God promised exactly. So let us go ahead with our bibles, writing and study materials and let us enter into God's promised land. You are blessed! I remain multidimensionally yours, Olusegun Onayinka.
