In the Land of Sojourners is made up of the thoughts and expressions of a Christian sojourner, traveling from the countryside around a village in southern India to the largely desert but oil-rich Middle East, and through the corridors of hills and valleys of the United States, on his way toward the Eternal City. The author watches generations come and go while observing from a mixed perspective of conservative and liberal cultures. In this book, you will find the vision of an immigrant, the dream of an evangelist, the hope of a Christian, and the destiny of a Sojourner. Once you start this book, you will not be able to stop reading until the end. The fifty-two chapters are essentially fifty-two memorable devotional lessons with their spiritual and charismatic beauty. John Elsadai, author of several books published in the languages of his native India, is well known among ethnic evangelical Christian communities. Most of his books are character studies of persons in the Bible, writings that expound on the moral culture that a Christian might pursue. Born into a Christian family in India, where majority populations are Hindu, John Elsadai was employed in the Middle East before he eventually migrated to the United States. He has a special talent for expressing his views and thoughts to his readers by way of examples and life experiences. Elsadai believes that any conflict in theology should be brought finally before the Cross of Christ, where it can be settled with prayer. He and his wife Elsy are parents of two daughters, Betsy Ann and Blessy Ann.

Though Jesuits assumed a variety of roles as missionaries in late imperial China, their most memorable guise was that of scientific expert, whose maps, clocks, astrolabes, and armillaries reportedly astonished the Chinese. But the icon of the missionary-scientist is itself a complex myth. Masterfully correcting the standard story of China Jesuits as simple conduits for Western science, Florence C. Hsia shows how these missionary-scientists remade themselves as they negotiated the place of the profane sciences in a religious enterprise. Sojourners in a Strange Land develops a genealogy of Jesuit conceptions of scientific life within the Chinese mission field from the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries. Analyzing the printed record of their endeavors in natural philosophy and mathematics, Hsia identifies three models of the missionary man of science by their genres of writing: mission history, travelogue, and academic collection. Drawing on the history of early modern Europe’s scientific, religious, and print culture, she uses the elaboration and reception of these scientific personae to construct the first collective biography of the Jesuit missionary-scientist’s many incarnations in late imperial China.

Early Christians spoke about themselves as resident aliens, strangers, and sojourners, asserting that otherness is a fundamental part of being Christian. But why did they do so and to what ends? How did Christians' claims to foreign status situate them with respect to each other and to the larger Roman world as the new movement grew and struggled to make sense of its own boundaries? Aliens and Sojourners argues that the claim to alien status is not a transparent one. Instead, Benjamin Dunning contends, it shaped a rich, pervasive, variegated discourse of identity in early Christianity. Resident aliens and foreigners had long occupied a conflicted space of both repulsion and desire in ancient thinking. Dunning demonstrates how Christians and others in antiquity capitalized on this tension, refiguring the resident alien as being of a compelling doubleness, simultaneously marginal and potent. Early Christians, he argues, used this refiguration to render Christian identity legible, distinct, and even desirable among the vast range of social and religious identities and practices that proliferated in the ancient Mediterranean. Through close readings of ancient Christian texts such as Hebrews, 1 Peter, the Shepherd of Hermas, and the Epistle to Diognetus, Dunning examines the markedly different ways that Christians used the language of their own marginality, articulating a range of options for what it means to be Christian in relation to the Roman social order. His conclusions have implications not only for the study of late antiquity but also for understanding the rhetorics of religious alienation more broadly, both in the ancient world and today.

Peter reads the messages originally addressed by God to sojourners in the Old Testament as the same messages God had for the sojourning believers of Peter's generation. No wonder Peter used these same exhortations to instruct first-century believers in the diaspora. For Peter, the Old Testament was their Scripture. For us today, the Old Testament and New Testament are our Scripture. God's messages for the faithful sojourners in the Old Testament and New Testament are the same message he has for sojourners of all generations, including ours.

Sojourner in a Foreign Land is a personal story about immigration, the search for spiritual belonging, sexual and gender identity, and how childhood trauma influences a human life. As a Scandinavian immigrant, I was blessed with privileges other ethnic groups did not have. Still, it was a struggle to start from the bottom. The book also describes life in Copenhagen, Denmark, in the fifties and sixties, and what it means to leave your culture and traditions behind.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to journey through the Holy Land? It sure is different from my home in Alaska. Going to Israel is a very personal and spiritual experience; there is so much to take in that it's impossible to share unless you've experienced it yourself. I went to Israel with Selah Ministries for the Israel 12-12-12 Mission Trip. We were Sojourners in the Wilderness, depositing a "New Sound" in the atmosphere with worship, declaration, and proclamations. What happened in Israel over December 2012? What impact did it have over nations? Attempting to discover the answers to these questions, I learned about where we went, why we went there, and what the Bible says about the places we visited. Just as music genres, music artists, and the times we're in change the direction which humanity moves, our hope was to cause a shift from the very central point of the planet that would reach the ends of the earth. Could we cause a shift in the direction of humanity? I encourage you to join me on this journey of pilgrimage to the Holy Land and experience for yourself things you may never have known or encountered about God, His Promised Land, and His people.

Among the many groups of Chinese who migrated from their ancestral homeland in the nineteenth century, none found a more favorable situation that those who came to Hawaii. Coming from South China, largely as laborers for sugar plantations and Chinese rice plantations but also as independent merchants and craftsmen, they arrived at a time when the tiny Polynesian kingdom was being drawn into an international economic, political, and cultural world. Sojourners and Settlers traces the waves of Chinese immigration, the plantation experience, and movement into urban occupations. Important for the migrants were their close ties with indigenous Hawaiians, hundreds establishing families with Hawaiian wives. Other migrants brought Chinese wives to the islands. Though many early Chinese families lived in the section of Honolulu called "Chinatown," this was never an exclusively Chinese place of residence, and under Hawaii's relatively open pattern of ethnic relations Chinese families rapidly became dispersed throughout Honolulu. Chinatown was, however, a nucleus for Chinese business, cultural, and organizational activities. More than two hundred organizations were formed by the migrants to provide mutual aid, to respond to discrimination under the monarchy and later under American laws, and to establish their status among other Chinese and Hawaii's multiethnic community. Professor Glick skillfully describes the organizational network in all its subtlety. He also examines the social apparatus of migrant existence: families, celebrations, newspapers, schools--in short, the way of life. Using a sociological framework, the author provides a fascinating account of the migrant settlers' transformation from villagers bound by ancestral clan and tradition into participants in a mobile, largely Westernized social order.
