Carolyn and her husband Herbert came from two different worlds. She from a small town in West Virginia, and he from a small village in East Prussia. They each experienced a different kind of life during World War II. Herbert escaped death by the Russians, and the only act of war Carolyn saw was selling war bonds and standing in line for nylons for her mother until the telegraph came. Carolyn's father was severely injured during a raid over Tokyo and would never be the same. Herbert's family did not know if his father was dead or alive for the three years they were in a refugee camp after fleeing from the Russians.

Unwelcome Exiles. Mexico and the Jewish Refugees from Nazism, 1933-1945 reconstructs a largely unknown history: during the Second World War, the Mexican government closed its doors to Jewish refugees expelled by the Nazis. In this comprehensive investigation, based on archives in Mexico and the United States, Daniela Gleizer emphasizes the selectiveness and discretionary implementation of post-revolutionary Mexican immigration policy, which sought to preserve mestizaje-the country's blend of Spanish and Indigenous people and the ideological basis of national identity-by turning away foreigners considered "inassimilable" and therefore "undesirable." Through her analysis of Mexico's role in the rescue of refugees in the 1930s and 40s, Gleizer challenges the country's traditional image of itself as a nation that welcomes the persecuted. This book is a revised and expanded translation of the Spanish El exilio incomodo. Mexico y los refugiados judios, 1933-1945, which received an Honorable Mention in the LAJSA Book Prize Award 2013.

Life is a constant battle between good and evil. Unfortunately, many are ignorant of how to fight the battles of life. Human beings operate on two levels: the spiritual world and the physical world. Unknown to many, "the spiritual controls the physical."

In life, many of the problems that a man encounters are already introduced in the spiritual realm, yet he continues to look for physical solutions to spiritual problems. God has made available to every child of God the weapons to fight spiritual battles. These include the blood of Jesus, fire of the Holy Spirit etc. However, one of the most powerful weapons available to man is the weapon of praise and worship.

This book examines the reason why we fight spiritual battles and how to win spiritual wars. It also examines the life of King Jehoshaphat and the children of Israel and how they used the weapons of praise and worship to defeat their enemies.

In Traditional Society in Transition: The Yemeni Jewish Experience Bat-Zion Eraqi Klorman offers an account of the unique circumstances of Yemeni Jewish existence in the wake of major changes since the second half of the nineteenth century. It follows this community's transition from a traditional patriarchal society to a group adjusting to the challenges of a modern society. Unlike the perception of the Yemeni Jews as receptive to modernity only following immigration to Palestine and Israel, Eraqi Klorman convincingly shows that some modern ideas played a role in their lives while in Yemen. Once in Palestine, they appear here as adjusting to the new conditions by striving to participate in the Zionist enterprise, consenting to secular education, transforming family practices and the status of women. "The book is an important contribution to the study of Yemeni Jews in Yemen and abroad as well as for Jewish-Muslim relations, relations between Yemeni Jews and other Jews, and gender studies...Many of these issues have not been previously studied, and the use of private archives and interviews greatly increases the value of this study." -Rachel Simon, Princeton University. Princeton, NJ, Association of Jewish Libraries Reviews, November/December 2014.

In this book, Marthus-Adden Zimboiant has portrayed the characteristics of Satan (the old Serpent who deceives the nation) using the three of the world-known snakes, namely cobra, emerald bora, and anaconda as the main characters. Revelation 20:2 refers to the dragon as the serpent of old who is the devil and Satan. Created by God, but not equal to God, he defies God and despises truth and was given limited power. He Commands a hierarchy of demons and masquerades as "an angel of light." With this book, you will be able to overcome the deceptions of Satan. As a matter of fact, you will understand why Satan came to steal, kill and destroy, but he lost access to faithful, redeemed Christians. Truly, Satan rules the masses outside God's protection. He tries to hide the actual truth about our God, twists Scriptures to fit his purposes and offers counterfeit promises he can't fulfil. He always seeks an "opportune time" to tempt us. However, Sir Marthus has perfectly revealed the craftiness of Satan, which will let you understand why Apostle Peter said: "Be sober; be vigilant; because your adversary, the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." (1 Peter 5:8) and to which Apostle Paul also added "Do not sin: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place lest you give a foothold] to the devil." (Ephesians 4:26-27) "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)

Ever wondered what life is really about or why you were even born? Well . . .

Healing Through and From Sarita's Pen is unique because the inspirational and motivational quotes and prayers were designed to be a blessing to others even while I was going through hurt, pain and the disappointment of divorce . As a preacher, a teacher, and a leader in my church, and I was going through this unthinkable situation. But then, God gave me Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT); "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. It was then that I changed my perspective of why he wanted me to write. The writing was not for me, it was to help others. Yet in the process of writing, I was being healed. All the trials and tribulations I was going through became less and less traumatic. While I was focusing on helping others, God handled my issues. Obedience is better than sacrifice. God told me he had a new beginning waiting for me, but I must let go of the past. He told me to not let the enemy keep me depressed and discouraged. He would not let one door close without opening another one for me. When the devil reminds me of my past, remind him of his future. I wrote almost daily, contributing to the healing of others, and being healed at the same time.

As I was going through a terrible trial in my life, I remembered something that my mom had said to me when I was a teenager. She said, "Read Matthew to live your life, read John to save your soul."

That turned out to be the best advice I ever got

I started talking to other people, sharing this with them, and I was amazed to find that so few knew what Jesus said. This led me to write this book to tell everyone what Christ said about how to live your life and how to save your soul. He gave us a "how to" guide. His message is clear and concise and doesn't need a lot of interpretation. He says what He means, and He means what He says. It is pure truth
