When the Brown family adopted a kitten to keep out uninvited guests
like mice and rats, they had no idea how many adventures that Old
Black Cat would get herself and her family into. From camping in
the foothills of the Himalayas, to holding up a train in the busy
city of Lahore, OBC and her family find themselves in many
hilarious and tricky situations. These delightful, true tales
follow their travels through Pakistan as they learn to trust God
more with every adventure.
Sindhi is a major world language and one of the great literary
languages of Islamic civilization, with more than 19 million
speakers in Pakistan, more than a million in India and growing
numbers in communities throughout the world. Yet this language of
poetic masterpieces like the Risalo of the great sufi poet, Shah
Abdul Latif Bhitai, remains little known and neglected even among
scholars of the Subcontinent and of Islam. Addleton and Brown's
work for the first time offers linguists, students of religion,
anthropologists, and second generation Sindhis in the West a
practical and systematic introduction to the vocabulary and grammar
of spoken and written Sindhi. First developed for English speakers
living and working in southern Pakistan, Addleton and Brown's work
has recently been revised and updated, and is now the best
available pedagogical introduction to Sindhi for English speakers.
Sindhi: An Introductory Course for English Speakers will be of
interest not only to linguists and scholars, but to anyone
interested in the culture, language and heritage of the Sindhi
people.
Out of the generation that grew up in the Great Depression and
World War II, thousands of young Christians felt called by God to
the ends of the earth. Pauline A. Brown, with her husband Ralph,
and two other families, went to the Sindh Province in southern
Pakistan in 1954 -- their goal, to share God's message love with
Muslim Sindhis. This book is not just about North Americans abroad,
but about a fellowship of ordinary people crossing cultural and
linguistic barriers to take on the extraordinary challenge of
establishing the Church in the Sindh desert. Jars of Clay is a
story of laughter and tears, of danger and deliverance, of despair
and hope, of victory and defeat. Above all, it is a story of
perseverance in the face of great odds. The story of how the Church
of Jesus Christ, small and fragile as it is, is taking root in the
barren desert soil of Sindh in Pakistan, an Islamic Republic, is
relevant more than ever in our post 9/11 world.
