Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - \* Winner of the Headmistress Press Charlotte Mew Prize This collection is quiet in its transformations-both imagined and radically real-as the speaker allows us to understand different ways in which 'love has gone and left [us].' The images that cypher throughout the manuscript-Blue Mosques, Persian seaweed, the song of the muezzin, goats left bleeding in the street-ally themselves with literary allusions from Millay and Dickinson to Zafon and Stein to create a new oeuvre of sound, voice, and color that is wholly the poet's own making. At once melancholy and defiant, On Loving a Saudi Girl wakes some of the most difficult, buried truths of what it is to 'love in silence, with deeds and not with words,' creating new ways for the reader to surrender again and again until surrender is made new. -Meg Day, Judge of the Charlotte Mew Prize Between East and West, both lovesick and at a loss, the innovative lyrics of Carina Yun's On Loving a Saudi Girl pronounce what-for this poet-has been forbidden, dangerous. 'The brittle Black Sea is more than I can bear,' the poet writes. Reading Yun's poems is not a casual exercise. The work is rooted in necessity, the necessity to uncover a world where the many dimensions of love coexist.-Sally Keith Carina Yun's debut chapbook, On Loving a Saudi Girl, is an enthralling sequence of intimate lyrics-gorgeous poems of love, longing, and loss. Interleaved among letters home, song-like addresses to Millay, Dickinson, and Stein, dreams and nightmares, we hear the rush of the Marmara Sea, the muzzein's calls to prayer, the traffic and trams of urban Istanbul, and the clatter of hail on a Stockton street. Yun's work pays rapt, word-wise attention to what living feels like. These are startling, memorable poems.-Jennifer Atkinson Carina Yun's poems map a landscape where travel and a love of place merge with the loss of an erotic obsession. It's a startling distillation of sensual experience-bodily, grieving, joyful. This is a wonderful debut. -Bruce Snider.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - NEW BIRTH isn't just a moment-it's a journey.Just as physical birth requires time to develop, so does the spiritual birth. Jesus told Nicodemus, a master of Israel, that no one can see or enter the Kingdom of God without being 'born again'-a birth of both water and Spirit. 'Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.' - John 3 (KJV) Salvation may open the door to heaven, but entering into the deeper truths of the Kingdom requires more than a single moment of belief-it calls for a daily surrender. Jesus invites us to take up our cross, deny ourselves, and follow Him into a life of spiritual transformation. This isn't about religion-it's about resurrection. Through the New Birth, we don't just gain eternal life-we gain access to the mind of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, and a living relationship with the Father. It's here, in this surrendered life, that the mysteries of the Kingdom begin to unfold. Only by dying to our flesh and rising with Christ can we truly understand who the King is, what His Kingdom offers, and how the Trinity moves in power through us.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One Dream. One Coin. One Question.In the shadow of Roman rule and amidst a volatile alliance of Pharisees, scribes, priests, and Herodians, one man stood unshaken. Rendering to Caesar explores one of the most politically charged moments in Jesus' ministry-the infamous question about paying taxes to Caesar.When challenged by those who sought to trap Him, Jesus delivered a masterful response: 'Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.' But His words carried far more weight than meets the eye. In this gripping account, Dr. Ron Charles reveals the historical and cultural layers behind that moment-where faith, empire, and destiny collided.Jesus' answer didn't just silence His accusers-it dismantled their trap, satisfied Roman sympathizers, and marked the last attempt of the Herodians to discredit Him. Through this interaction, He affirmed the possibility of spiritual loyalty and civic responsibility coexisting-transforming political tension into eternal truth.This one amazing sentence proved that, in the eyes of the Roman Empire, Jesus was more than a teacher, a healer, a prophet, a miracle worker-He was. The Theophus of Tiberius.…
