Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Kigali, April 1994. On the night a president's plane falls from the sky, Jerry Mmary and Eva Kagoyire are drawing their wedding invitation in a rain-soaked café. Nine days later, at the center of Rusumo Bridge, a crowd tears them apart-and Jerry's hand opens.He crosses into Tanzania. She does not.For ten years, Jerry believes he let go of the only woman he ever loved to save a green passport. He builds an empire of grief: searching refugee lists, chasing rumors across three countries, carrying a folded drawing of two birds against his heart. When he finally returns to Rwanda for the genocide's tenth commemoration, a dying man's confession at a village gacaca court cracks open a truth far stranger-and far more dangerous-than the one he has mourned for a decade.Because someone has been lying to him. And the closer Jerry gets to the truth, the more he understands that everyone he loved-his father, Eva's mother, the housekeeper who raised him-has been protecting a secret that could still get someone killed.Bridge of Hope and Sorrow is a sweeping novel of love tested by genocide, complicity hidden inside ordinary kindness, and the cost of a truth kept too long. Spanning thirty years-from a roadblock outside Kayonza to a courtroom in Nyanza to the same bridge where it all began-it asks what we owe the dead, what we owe the living, and how far a person will go to protect the ones they love from the truth.>Content note: This novel depicts genocide, including violence against children. Read with care.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - THE SPIRIT OF RESISTANCE: The Legend of Mkwawa He tore the treaty in half. He never signed. And when he could not be captured alive, he made sure they would never be certain they had captured him at all. In 1898, deep in the highlands of East Africa, a wounded chief levels a rifle at his own head rather than let German colonizers parade him in chains. What the empire takes instead is his skull - shipped across the sea as a trophy, filed in a museum drawer, and forgotten. Fifty-five years later, a young German archivist opens that drawer expecting to find one box.>THE SPIRIT OF RESISTANCE moves between two timelines separated by half a century - the rise of Chief Mkwawa, the man who united a dozen warring clans into a nation and held off an empire for a decade, and the quiet, dangerous reckoning of a woman determined to send a stolen ancestor home before history buries the truth a second time. Along the way: a brother branded a traitor who may be the reason the resistance survived at all, a healer who saves the life of the enemy who will one day hunt her people, and a mystery of identity that even the men who built the empire couldn't fully bury.>For readers of epic historical fiction who want their history to bleed.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From the pulpits of Riyadh to the seminaries of Texas, theology has been stripped of its ethical core and repurposed as a tool of empire. Blind Obedience exposes how two seemingly opposed religious movements-Christian Zionism in the West and Salafi-State Theology in the Arab world-operate through identical mechanisms of control: sacralizing state power, erasing victims, and suppressing dissent through theological framing.Drawing on the Nuremberg trials, Stanley Milgram's obedience experiments, and Hannah Arendt's concept of the banality of evil, Sado Faraji constructs a devastating case that these theologies are not merely parallel corruptions of faith but interlocking components of a single Theological Security Architecture. Christian Zionism secures the domestic American political base for unconditional military engagement in the Middle East. Salafi-State Theology secures the internal stability of Gulf monarchies that anchor Western energy and security interests. Together, they form what Faraji calls the Obedience-Industrial Complex-a system in which finance, military power, and religious authority converge to manufacture consent for occupation, authoritarianism, and the silencing of justice.The book traces this architecture from the Scofield Reference Bible's reshaping of American evangelical politics to the Saudi export of Madkhali quietism across the Muslim world. It documents the human cost-from the Nakba to the siege of Gaza-and confronts how both theological systems rendered Palestinian suffering invisible. Through the Abraham Accords, Faraji reveals the moment the Entanglement became visible: evangelical eschatology and Gulf state realpolitik converging to bypass Palestinian self-determination entirely.But Blind Obedience is not only a critique. Its final movement recovers the prophetic traditions within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam that insist God stands with the oppressed, not the oppressor. Drawing on the Kairos Document, Dietrich Bonhoeffer's costly grace, the Karbala paradigm, and the Palestinian concept of Sumud (steadfastness), Faraji constructs a theology of liberation grounded in historical precedent and movement-building practice.This is a book for anyone who has felt the weight of systems that demand obedience and call it faith. It is for the scholars who speak truth to power, the dissenters who refuse silence, and the communities building justice from below.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Blind Obedience: Empire, Theology, and the War on Liberation is a searing manifesto against the weaponization of faith. From Riyadh to Texas, empire has reshaped theology into a machinery of control-sanctifying violence, silencing dissent, and manufacturing loyalty. Sado Faraji traces the rise of Zionism and Wahhabism as state-sponsored theologies, forged not to liberate the soul but to command it. These doctrines reveal how obedience becomes ritual, and how faith is conscripted into the service of power. Yet against this machinery, resistance emerges. This book turns to the youth, the reformers, and the believers who refuse to surrender the sacred to empire. It is both indictment and call to action-an urgent reminder that faith must never be a flag, and obedience must never be blind. Blending historical critique with prophetic resonance, Blind Obedience speaks to readers across traditions who seek liberation from extremism and empire alike. It is a guide for reclaiming faith as a force of freedom, dignity, and resistance. For those who know that liberation is not granted but seized, this book is a summons to courage and clarity in an age of manufactured obedience.…
