Shaykh Mithqal al-Fayiz's life spanned a period of dramatic transformation in the Middle East. Born in the 1880s during a time of rapid modernization across the Ottoman Empire, Mithqal led his tribe through World War I, the development and decline of colonial rule and founding of Jordan, the establishment of the state of Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict that ensued, and the rise of pan-Arabism. As Mithqal navigated regional politics over the decades, he redefined the modern role of the shaykh.
In following Mithqal's remarkable life, this book explores tribal leadership in the modern Middle East more generally. The support of Mithqal's tribe to the Jordanian Hashemite regime extends back to the creation of Jordan in 1921 and has characterized its political system ever since. The long-standing alliances between tribal elites and the royal family explain, to a large extent, the extraordinary resilience of Hashemite rule in Jordan and the country's relative stability. Mithqal al-Fayiz's life and work as a shaykh offer a notable individual story, as well as a unique window into the history, society, and politics of Jordan.

Описание: Who, if anyone, could protect me? Why would a loving God do all of this? As a child, some tragic deaths happened in our family; one of them being when my dad accidentally backed over my brother. As an adult, there were more losses and I made some wrong choices when trying to deal with them. The harder I tried to come up with solutions, the more frustrating my life became. I went to church religiously every Sunday, hoping one day I would figure out what I was missing. Despite my spiritual feeling of emptiness, God was there when I needed Him most. Finally, I came to understand God was reaching out to me to try to help me through those tough situations. When I awoke the morning of October 4, the day after my realization that I was addicted to alcohol, I had a clear sensation of being cradled like a baby in the arms of my Heavenly Father. Gathering Pieces is what I had to do for this book and it enabled me to eventually "walk in peace and not in pieces," And Then, We Laughed
