Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Acehnese, a Muslim people of Sumatra, fought Dutch attempts to colonize them for forty years. After its "pacification," Acehnese society evolved peacefully, yet nonetheless the Acehnese participated fully in the Indonesian revolution and in a rebellion against the Indonesian central government not long after. Based on field work done in the early 1960s, James Siegel's The Rope of God, traces the evolution in Islam, in the economy, and in the structure of the family to show how it was that Aceh mobilized itself as a society from the time of the colonial war to the emergence of the republic. At a time when this Indonesian society is once again in movement, this influential study has gained a certain new relevance. To bridge this span of time since its initial publication in 1969, Siegel has added two additional chapters to his original volume: one a description of political elements today and the other a previously published piece on Acehnese domestic politics. Important when it first appeared, The Rope of God continues to be of enduring importance today and will be warmly welcomed back into print. James Siegel is Professor of Anthropology and Asian Studies, Cornell University and is the author of New Criminal Type in Jakarta: A Counter-Revolution Today, among other books.

Book excerpt: A pair of evangelical leaders offer sensible, easy-to-follow strategies for sharing the message of God’s love and forgiveness. What if we were truly desperate to get our friends close to Jesus? Called to inspire others toward personal evangelism, Jeff Neal, a former professional football player, world powerlifting champion, and co-founder of Team Impact Ministries, joins forces with senior pastor and motivational speaker Shonn Keels to create this concise, Bible-based guidebook. Its teachings will empower both young and old to “hold the rope” in their daily lives, finding opportunities to guide their friends and loved ones closer to Jesus. With a foreword by Dr. David Uth, Sr. Pastor of First Baptist Church of Orlando, and acclaimed by ministers across the nation, Hold the Rope is a must-read for those seeking to put God first in their lives. “Shonn and Jeff have hit a home run with Hold the Rope. This book is practical, easy to understand, and easy to implement . . . A must-read for all Christians.” —Clay NeSmith, Lead Pastor, Barefoot Church, North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Each one of us has experienced some form of pain. You might be a specific individual who avoids uncomfortable circumstances at all cost. If you are that type of individual, it will eventually catch up with you. Is this why you are looking for some kind of relief at this moment? Have you ever looked up the definition of the word "rope"? Picture the huge ropes on a ship that hold it in place. Take a good look at them and realize the weather, wear and tear, pulling and tugging that these huge ropes have endured. They are so tightly woven, you could never unravel them. Ever tried pulling one apart? It will automatically try to curl back together, not wanting to separate. Sound familiar to your past or your emotions? After reading this book, you will know how to cut your rope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holding the Rope gives an insightful look into the preparation, philosophy, and application of short term cross-cultural ministry. Archer addresses the issues with candor, humor, and most importantly, grace. He provides viable solutions to common problems, and encourages churches, pastors, and volunteers to adopt a biblical and practical approach for engaging in short term missions. “Holding the rope” is more than a catchphrase. It articulates an entire philosophy of ministry. Christian missions is too daunting an enterprise to attempt alone, but the synergy of combined efforts can accomplish untold advancement for the kingdom of God. This book is a tool for those serving the servants, a guide and celebration of those who hold the ropes.

Jesus can send you to a person to pray on them, for example. He tells you to pray for the sick people to heal their bodies or help people that need help in Jesuss name. Amen.

Jesus can bless you double or triple. It is a miracle to work and pray together as one. How you can reach out to others?

Repent, pray, read your Bible, and communicate with one another. You will see how much peace you will have in your loving heart.

Remember, Jesus loves you and will never leave you or forsake you. You have a good and blessed day with a smile on your loving face. Please give everybody a hug and kiss your loved ones. Please continue to pray and be nice to everybody. Also, think before you say anything. It is the key for everyone to having a happy and healthy family in Jesuss name. Amen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one of the oldest and most important sources written on the esoteric teachings of Islam from a Shi'ite perspective. It demonstrates the Qur'anic origins of Sufism and its close relationship with Shi'ism. The book is based mainly on the teachings of the Qur'an, Hadith narrations of Shi'ite Imams, and the teachings of earlier Sufi masters. In this lies the uniqueness, authenticity, and strength of the book. Tuhfah yi-' Abbasi is written in a typical prose style of the Safavid period and is replete with Arabic words and phrases. The difficulty and dryness of the style, however, is properly compensated by timely quotation of Prophetic traditions, narrations of the Shi'ite Imams, and Sufi poetry composed by 'Attar, Rumi, Hafiz, Mansur Hallaj, as well as the author. This work conveys a universal message for all human beings, particularly at a time when Sufism and Shi'ism are misrepresented by pseudo-Sufis and extremist Shi'ite, and misunderstood by many readers in the Muslim world and in the West.
