Messianic Peshitta Siddur for Shabbat
Messianic Peshitta Siddur for Shabbat is truly a one-of-a-kind Siddur. It features the ancient synagogue/temple rites, prayers, and psalms for worship in the synagogue, for Erev Shabbat in the home, for all High Holy Days, and for daily prayers, including the complete Tehillim/Psalms 1-150 in Hebrew and English. Transliterations for all synagogue and daily prayers are included. The scriptures cited are from “HaDavar, The Word of ????,” a Hebrew and Aramaic Peshitta/English Bible. There is also a table of psalms for each Torah portion from the Parashot. This Siddur is designed for both congregational and in-home worship, and will be invaluable for students of Biblical Hebrew. “Prayer has always been an integral part of Biblical Jewish worship, even though the Torah itself does not explicitly command us to pray. The patriarchs all set the example of praying. According to Jewish tradition, Avraham is seen praying in the morning, Yitz’k?ak at noon, and Ya’akov at night … For all these reasons, and for many more, the Messianic Peshitta Community has adopted a lifestyle of prayer, and it should not cease while we are assembled!”
Creole Genesis, Attitudes and Discourse
This collection in honor of creolist Charlene Junko Sato (1951-1996) brings together contributions by leading specialists in pidgin-creole studies in three primary areas: Pidgin-Creole Genesis and Development; Attitudes and Education, and Creole Discourse and Literature. The varieties covered come from English, French and Spanish lexical bases and from places as far apart as Africa, Australia, Hawaii, and the Caribbean. Editors Rickford and Romaine introduce each of the papers and provide a biography and bibliography of Sato. A short story and poems in Hawaiian Creole, Sato's native language and the variety which was the focus of her research and writing, round out the collection.

Omoo Adventures in the South Seas
On approaching, she turned out to be a small, slatternly-looking craft, her hull and spars a dingy black, rigging all slack and bleached nearly white, and everything denoting an ill state of affairs aboard. The four boats hanging from her sides proclaimed her a whaler. Leaning carelessly over the bulwarks were the sailors, wild, haggard-looking fellows in Scotch caps and faded blue frocks; some of them with cheeks of a mottled bronze, to which sickness soon changes the rich berry-brown of a seaman’s complexion in the tropics...FROME THE BOOKS.
