Spanning more than six decades, Passage to Promise Land is a revealing study of Chinese immigration to Canada from the end of the Second World War to the present day. Tracing the evolution of immigration policy through the stories of Chinese immigrant women, Vivienne Poy captures the social, political, and ethnic tensions of the period. Although the narratives included here represent women of all ages and educational backgrounds, they share a common sense of determination and spirited resilience in the face of hardship. Through their stories we learn about Chinese settlement experience, how the Chinese community developed alongside changes in immigration regulations, and why the immigration of Chinese families to Canada became commonplace in the 1970s. The women address experiences of patriarchy and discrimination in both China and Canada, revive memories of the turbulent years in China at the end of the Pacific War, and speak of their uncertainties about the return of Hong Kong's sovereignty from the United Kingdom to China in 1997. From the very first mention of Chinese women's immigration in Canada's Parliament in 1879, to the end of the twentieth century - when a Chinese woman was appointed Governor General - the road to equality has been long and arduous. Passage to Promise Land details the important events along the way through the voices of the women themselves.

How did ancient scribes interpret their own reality by means of scriptural exegesis? The essays in this volume explore this question from various perspectives by examining the earliest known exegetical texts of Jewish origin, namely, the exegetical texts from the Qumran library. Scholars have debated the precise nature of the exegetical techniques used in the Qumran texts. To bring clarity to the discussion, this book analyzes the phenomenon of reading the present in the Qumran library and asks how far comparable phenomena can be observed in authoritative literature in ancient Israel and Judah, in the textual tradition of the Hebrew and Greek Bible, in ancient Judaism, and in early Christian literature. --From publisher's description.

This book sheds new light on Jerusalem's status in early Islam. The sanctity of the city is already discerned in the Qurʾān. The vision of redemption that the Qurʾān displays coincides with the messianic expectations that have swept throughout the entire region, especially among the Jews, due to the attempted renewal of Jewish liturgy in Jerusalem following the Persian victory over Byzantium in 614. On the other hand, the Qurʾān also portrays the holiness of Mecca and the Kaʿba. This book shows how it promotes their pre-Islamic holiness around the image of Abraham and Ishmael. The changing balance between the sanctity of Jerusalem and the sanctity of Mecca, in favor of the latter, is noticeable in the Qurʾān as one proceeds from the Meccan sūras to the Medinan ones. The change occurs against the background of the twist in relations between Muḥammad and the Jews. This book also points out the correlation between Muḥammad's situation in Medina and events in Palestine involving the victory of the Byzantines over the Persians in 628, as alluded to in the opening passage of Sūrat al-Rūm (30). Thie work illuminates the growing sanctity of Jerusalem following the arrival of the first Muslims to Palestine. As in the Qurʾān, Mecca continued to struggle to preserve its status as a holy city vis-à-vis that of Jerusalem. Key aspects of this struggle are reflected in traditions in which patterns of sanctity move from Jerusalem to Mecca, and which this book also scrutinizes.

The purpose of the wilderness is about what God wants to do in our life. Ever since the fall recorded in Genesis, man has lost their identity, power and authority given to them by God. Without this power and authority, man will never be able to take dominion in this world. When our identity, power and authority have been restored, then He wants to prepare us for the work ahead. The reason why God brings us into the wilderness is to prepare each believer to be able to release their potential. Before we are able to be used by God mightily, He wants to change our character and filter out all the unnecessary things that we have learned in this world. It is a time where man has to learn how to be dependent upon God. This dependence starts in the wilderness where there is absolutely nothing. God wants all of us to put our total trust upon Him and that He will provide all the necessities that we need. God wants His people to experience the supernatural provision that He offers. This is especially true for people who desire to be future leaders in the Kingdom. This does not only refer to people in leadership but also people who live their life in the marketplace. People need to know and understand how God provides in their life and how He wants to use them in their field. In order for people to understand how God works, they need to be transformed through a season of testing. This season of testing is where God actually wants to build up our character. Our character needs to be changed to that of God. Without a character transformation, we will always reflect what we learn in the world. We need to get rid of everything that was attached to our life that doesnt reflect the characteristics of God. This is done in the wilderness because in the wilderness, since there is nothing, we cant help but rely on God. As we rely on God more, then the things that have been attached to our life will start to fall off. Everything that was attached has to come off. When everything comes off, then God will put His Words and traits upon our life. That is why character is so important. It reflects Gods traits. People never look at character as an important aspect in life. Character is often ignored or overlooked. However, to God, it is an important quality. When we are ultimately changed by God, then as we come out of our wilderness experience, we will come out with supernatural power to establish His Kingdom here on earth. Since we learn of His supernatural provision, we will also learn of His supernatural power.The whole process of the wilderness experience is receiving the anointing of God upon our life. With the anointing of God, we will be able to accomplish much. When the world says it takes talents and skill to accomplish much, to God it is all about the anointing. Our wilderness experience will release the anointing that is upon our life. The anointing is very crucial in a believers life. Just as Jesus was anointed to fulfill His purpose while on earth, we need to be anointed to fulfill the purpose of God in our life. This cant happen unless we are totally changed and dependent upon God. Everyone needs to go through their wilderness experience to receive the anointing of God.

"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--a self-admitted nervous wreck at the best of times--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"--

Feet Tell Stories. Tracing footsteps is like following the plot of a story. Footsteps demonstrate where you have walked in your life and point to where you are going. Your spiritual story is important to God. He is the author of your faith and the One who walks with you. Let Walking with God be your exercise book for the next chapter of your life. "We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do. He will not force us to walk correctly before Him. We have to do that ourselves. We must get into the habit of doing things — to instruct ourselves in the way we must go." (Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, May 10.) Faith + Action. Each of the fifty short chapters in Walking with God highlights a metaphor from the Bible to help you intentionally coordinate your feet and your faith. Each chapter sets out: a spiritual goal, a new place to go with God, a deeper discovery as you walk together and a way to make that footwork metaphor become real in your life. Your walk with God is the story of your spiritual life. He wants to join you on the journey... Go far.

Book Two of the Promised Land story, Home and Family, follows the Buechlers as their homesteaded land, "bellies out with life." There is now law and order, co-operation, community, and caring, all of which seems to have appeared with the Buechlers. The family grows and prospers as the land gives them all that they've ever wanted and needed; prosperous farms and businesses, happy homes, intelligent, hard-working children, and herds of healthy livestock. Yet natural disasters, human greed, hate, and power politics continually threaten to destroy all that they've worked so hard to achieve. Is this truly a Promised Land and will it be better for their children? In vivid, evocative prose supported by painstaking research, Promised Land - Home and Family brings history to vibrant, heart-pounding life. It will immerse readers in the courage and ingenuity of the turn-of-the-century pioneers who took on the challenge to carve out hearth and home from the forbidding landscapes of the western Canadian prairies.
