Описание: Tears, Cheers and Jeers This book is about deceit. Deceit that is innocent, deceit that is sinister, deceit that causes mayhem, and deceit that may not be deceit at all, except as it may deceive the reader. Bear Enis is a world-renowned expert on religious rituals. While researching the funeral practices of the Romani (gypsies) in Romania, he meets and marries Kezia. a Romani. The college for which Bear works is bribed by the Russian government to give a job to Vasily, the wastrel son of Vladimir Putin's fixer. The college forces Bear to take Vasily as his graduate assistant. Vasily is handsome, muscular and resentful of the situation. Bear is equally resentful of having his life affected by having to deal with a cretin. Bear and Vasily clash from the beginning, one tireless and demanding, the other lazy and stupid. Both know, however, that failure is not an option. Bear, already disillusioned by academia, is approached by a Chinese urologist, Dr. Wun Hun-Loh, to stage a traditional Chinese funeral for his dying father, a man who's solitary existence has left him without friends. Bear agrees when Dr. Wun offers him $25,000. Bear employs a Chinese rock singer and teaches her to be a wailer. Kezia and Vasily assemble a group of elderly Chinese to be trained to be sobbers, mourners and weepers. While not without comic mishaps, the funeral is a success, Dr. Wun is pleased and one of the local television stations makes the funeral a feature on its nightly news broadcasts. Flush with success and buoyed by the free publicity, Bear, Kezia and Vasily embark on a new business venture of supplying crowds for events to which no one would go ...without being paid. Tears, Inc.'s initial projects of wakes, funerals and graveside sobbing are, for the most part, successful. Yet, the business is teetering on the edge of insolvency, when a soon-to-be widow asks Bear to stage a funeral that will remake the reputation of her nationally reviled and soon-to-be deceased husband, Hatchet Harry Baldwin. Baldwin is a corporate turn-around specialist whose trademark is laying off workers without severance pay or benefits to deliver huge profits to his clients. Lured by the promise of a payday of $450,000, Bear accepts the project. While Bear and Kezia immerse themselves in material about Harry, seeking the keys that may unlock a usable story line, Vasily is left on his own to deliver on the commitments made by Bear to supply an aborigine wailer and a mute to two funerals. Without Bear around to give him guidance, Vasily humorously blunders his assignments, including hiring someone to be a mute who confuses his role with that of a Walmart greeter. Finding what they believe may be answer to their dilemma, Bear and Kezia develop a plan. Bear assigns Kezia and Vasily to begin implementation of the plan. Bear, himself, steps across the ethical line and, without the knowledge of either Kezia or Vasily, begins to weave a tangled web of deceit with actors and a bribed newspaper reporter. The Baldwin funeral, a success, attracts hordes of investigative reporters, each wishing to be the first to unmask the obvious fraud. When people associated with the funeral start showing up dead, the fraud investigations are given a new focus -- homicide. Intent on keeping their business alive, Bear and Kezia agree to provide a crowd for the announcement by a wealthy, handsome and charismatic ultra-progressive's campaign to be President. Bear and Kezia launch the campaign with a crowd of hundreds of screaming and cheering supporters. Just as the candidate's stardom is gaining momentum, disrupters appear at his rallies, causing mayhem and fear. When Bear and Kezia discover that Vasily had provided the disruptors, they threaten to expose him to the police. Angered and vengeful, Vasily's father sends assassins to kill Bear and Kezia. Only Vladimir Putin can stop the assassins. But, will he and, if he does, why?

Описание:
African Asylum at a Crossroads: Activism, Expert Testimony, and Refugee Rights examines the emerging trend of requests for expert opinions in asylum hearings or refugee status determinations. This is the first book to explore the role of court-based expertise in relation to African asylum cases and the first to establish a rigorous analytical framework for interpreting the effects of this new reliance on expert testimony.
Over the past two decades, courts in Western countries and beyond have begun demanding expert reports tailored to the experience of the individual claimant. As courts increasingly draw upon such testimony in their deliberations, expertise in matters of asylum and refugee status is emerging as an academic area with its own standards, protocols, and guidelines. This deeply thoughtful book explores these developments and their effects on both asylum seekers and the experts whose influence may determine their fate.

Описание: Driven by genocide, civil war, political instabilities, ethnic and pastoral hostilities, the African Great Lakes Region, primarily Uganda, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Burundi, has been overwhelmingly defined by conflict. Kenneth Omeje, Tricia Redeker Hepner, and an international group of scholars, many from the Great Lakes region, focus on the interlocking conflicts and efforts toward peace in this multidisciplinary volume. These essays present a range of debates and perspectives on the history and politics of conflict, highlighting the complex internal and external sources of both persistent tension and creative peacebuilding. Taken together, the essays illustrate that no single perspective or approach can adequately capture the dynamics of conflict or offer successful strategies for sustainable peace in the region.

"Kristen shares a beautiful story of the Lord's redemptive, restorative work of grace in her heart, soul, and mind. I am encouraged by her testimony of surrendering life to an unchanging, forever faithful Father in heaven." -Heather Platt: Homeschool mom to five beautiful children and wife of Pastor David Platt, author of Radical
Everyone has a story to tell, with lessons learned, heartaches experienced, and joys cherished. Taking the first step on any journey is always the most difficult, and learning to walk with Christ is no different. Living a life in accordance with God's plan is life-giving, full of adventure and purpose. Surrendering is a very personal and vulnerable account of one woman's journey through the highs and lows of walking with Jesus. As you read each story, you may shed a tear or laugh in joy, but most of all, you will be inspired to surrender every aspect of your life to Jesus.

Описание:
Avrumele: A Memoir is a first-person account of Albert Hepner's experiences as a "hidden child" during the Nazi hunt for Jews in German-occupied Brussels during World War II. This memoir is written from the perspective of a frightened child whose father has died, leaving him and his widowed mother to fend for themselves as the Gestapo closes in on them. Ultimately, mother and son must separate to survive, leaving the bewildered child in the care and protection of his young adult cousin Motl, a physician.
This is a story of the terror, occasionally mixed with humor, of a child who is moved from one tenuous sanctuary to another. It is also a chronicle of the incredible courage of the non-Jewish Belgians who risked their own lives to try to protect these helpless victims of the Holocaust.
